The banker was thoughtful min

"Will you consent to a divorce ii !

She looked at him with dismay.
There was tragic tenseness in this
dramatic situation--a father fighting
for his son, woman fighting for her
husband.

"The only way?" she faltered
"The only way" said Mr. Jeffries
firmly. do you consent?" he asked.
Annie threw up her head. Her pale
face was full of determination, as she
replied resignedly, catching her breath
as she spoke:

"You will leave the country and go

coldly.

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race
Age and Condition.

Of all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and distigure man.
kind, three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning OF
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the Oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura ONT
ment For more than a generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, liberal sample OF
each will be mailed free to any adj
dress, together with 32-page pamph-
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms of eczema, as
well as other affections of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands-send to "Cuti-
cura," Dept w, Boston.

Remarkable Coincidence in Sum Of
Money That Rastus Had in
His Pocket.

Rastus was on trial, charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-tive
cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, as
he was unable to hire an attorney, the
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel. Clearem put up strong
plea in defense, and Rastus was ac-
quilted.
Counsel and client met few min
utes later outside the court room.
Nov, Rastus,' said CleSrem,

counsel very little for defending this
kind of case. l worked hard for you

SYNOPSIS.

Howtrd Jeffries, bankers son, under
the evil influence of Robert Underwood,
feiiow.student at Yale, leads life of dis
sipation, marries the daughter of gam
bier who died In prison, and is disowned
by his father. He is out of work and In
desperate straits. Underwood, who had
once been engaged to Howard's step
mother, Alicia, is apparently in prosper
Gus circumstances. Taking advantage OF
his intimacy with Alicia, he becomes a
sort OF social highwayman. Discovering
his true character, Alicia denies him the
house. He sends her a note threatening
as commissioner, demand an accounting:
He cannot make good. Howard calls al
his apartments in an intoxicated condl-
ton to request loan of $2,CCo to enable
him to take up business proposition.
Underwood tells him he is in debt up to
his eyes. Howard drinks himself into
inaudlin condition, and goes to sleep on
divan. A caller is announced and Under
wood draws a screen around the drunken
promise from Underwood that he will not
take his life. He refuses unless she will
renew her patronage. This she refuses,
and takes her leave. Underwood kills
himself. The report of the pistol ava
kene Howard. He finds Underwood dead.
Realizing his predicament he attempts to
flee and is met by UnderWood's valet.
Howard is turned over to the police.
Capt. Clinton, notorious for his brutal
treatment of prisoners, puts Howard
through the third degree, and finally gets
an alleged confession from the harassed
man. Annie, Howard's wife, declares her
belief in her husbands innocence and
says she will clear him. She calls on
Jeffries, Sr.
