FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. IL, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When II
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass Of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent. We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail. In
deed some Of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular. the

into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told US to
battle the baby In buttermilk. This
did not do any good, SO we took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
~out-patient twice a week and he got
worse. II anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside OF q
week the boy was, to all appearances.
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day It
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that 1t could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth. the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same

The Worth OF the Voice,

How wonderful is the human voice!
It is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect Of man sits e~nthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye. and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet
OF old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible.
A sound alone betrays the flowing OF
the eternal fountain, invisible to man.

said of the harem skirt:
1T will soon be so widely worn

viyed for women victims.

as l have if we don't get somewhere
in this business pretty soon. But,
Donovan, there's something l van to
ask you. l don't like to speak of it,
but when we were coming away from
that Internal island, after our scrap
with the dago, there were two people
walking IN the bluff-a man and a
woman, and the oma was nearest
us. She seemed to be purposely put
ting herself in the mans way so We
couldn't see him. 1t didn't seem pos
sible that Helen could be there-but ?"
He clearly wished to be assured,
and l answered at once:
Il saw them; it couldn't have been
Helen. 1t was merely a similarity of
figure. l couldn't distinguish her face
at all. Very likely they were Port An
Mandate cottagers."
Il thought SO myself" he replied,
evidently relieved. 1t did not seem
necessary to tell him of Rosalind at
Red Gate; that was my secret, and l
was not yet ready to share it.
I've got to talk to somebody, and
l want to tell you something, Donovan.
I can't deny that there are times when
Helen doesn't seem-well, all that l
have thought her at other times.
Sometimes she seems selfish and hard,
and all that. And know she hasn't
treated Miss Pat right; it isn't square
for her to take Miss Pats bounty and
then work against her. But l make
allowances, Donovan"

He was at once sane and serious,
and replied. soberly:
Il V doubted that 1t was Arthur.
1t he wasn't guilty, why did he run
away? 1t was a queer business, and
father never mentioned It. Henry gave
out the impression that my father had
taken advantage of Holbrook Brothers
and forced their failure; but father
shut up and lever told me anything
But you have the notes"
Yes, but I'm not to open them, yet.

grew red and played with his cravat.
Where are they?" l asked.
i've just had them sent to me-;
they're in the bank at Annandale.

know. Old man Holbrook, who lived
to be older than the hills, left a pro-
vision in his will that adds to the COM
plications. Miss Pat may have men

"She just mentioned it. Please tell
me what you know of it,"
He took out his pocket-book and
read me this paragraph from a news
paper cutting:

tween my said sons Henry and Arthur

Gillespie lighted a cigarette and
smoked quietly for several minutes.
and when he spoke it was with deep
feeling.
Il love that girl. Donovan. l be-
lieve she cares for me, or would if she
could get out of all these e%ntangle-
ments. I'm almost ready to burn that
packet and tell Miss Pat she's got to
settle with Henry and be done with it.
Let him spend his money and die in
disgrace and go to the devil anything
is better than all this secrecy and mys-
terry that enmeshes Helen. I'm going
to end it; I'm going to end it,"
We had gone to the library, and he
threw himself down in the chair from
which she had spoken Of him so short
a time before that l seemed still to
feel her presence in the room.
Cheer up. lad. If we can't unite
the knot We'll lose no time cutting h
string. There may be some fun in
this business before we get through
with it."
l began telling him of some Of my
own experiences. and won him to a
eheerier mood. When We came round
to the H%olbrooks again his depression
had passed. and we were on the best
of terms.
But there's one thing we can't get
away from, Donovan. I've got to pro-

dainty love story of a youth and a

Ralph Henry Barbour. will be found in
our next Sunday Magazine. Harry Bak-
er, a boy of eighteen. was madly in
love with his employers daughter,
Lois, and through great abstinence had
saved enough money to pay for some
flowers TO send the night he was going
to take her to party To his horror,
just as he was dressing a rainstorm

money to pay for a carriage, and there
were no street cars in that neighbor-

To think Of taking this petted heir
ess of the rich Mr.. Fielding afoot

out of the question; on the other
hand, in his despairing thoughts he
could see her dancing with the miser-
