HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months 6 my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale off, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched d~readfully, it just seemed as
though I could tear the skin all off. |

peel off, and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. 1t wor-
ried me very much, as | had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
l was so afraid l would have to give
up my employment.
MY doctor said he didn't think it
would mount to anything. But it kept
getting worse. One day | saw a piece
in one of the papers about a lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
She had Used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and was cured. | decided to try

enjoyment of the situation increased
by leaps and bounds. No single key
IN the tiny ring escaped use Of his
hands. He unlocked boxes, a dressing
case and other places Of possible con
cealment. His method would have
drawn a derisive smile from Chief of
Detectives Manning. But Manning
was far downtown in Mulberry street,
and could not know the course his
subordinates were pursuing.
From a drawer in Elinor's Chippen-
dale secretary Donnelly took a box
of are lacquer and fitted a key to it.
He stopped to gaze searchingly at
Miss Holcomb for a few minutes, then
he unlocked the box.
81 hate to pry into any young lady's
little ~keepSakes." he said in a ponder
ously patronizing manner, but, as
Miss Holcomb hasn't been to Maiden
Lane in such a long time, I know she
won't object. Now, this little box, Of
course, contains nothing but trinkets
or odds and ends-love letters, may
be-" Elinor's heart sickened at the
leer in his face. She turned her eyes
to Dorothy's loving little face, and
chung to the debutante's hand. Don
nelly, fumbling with the key for
awhile opened the lacqnered box.

"The Chief Wants to See You.-

Elinor Holcomb. tall, graceful, gray
eyed, stood framed between crimson
portieres like a Velesquez portrait
Her refinement differed from Mrs
M~issioner's climatically. but, despite
the polaric oppositeness of their color
ing, there was a resemblance between
them. Mrs. Missioner's eyes turned
to her alphabetically.

men insist on seeing o I suppose

girl. II had been reading" She held
a book in her hand.

has beer a robbery" said Elinor east
ly. She move softly to the center
Of the and stood looking at the
Headquarters men. Are you sure
the real diamonds are gomez"
Mrs. Missioner made a gesture to
ward the safe and indicated the heap
Of false gems on the table.
rs it likely" sneered Griswold,
that whoever put the paste stones
there would neglect to take the real
ones? | see you read De Maupassant,
Miss Holcomb. Stories like The
Necklace don't happen"
Elinor laughed as she turned the
book in her hand so the others might
see the name of the great Frenchman
on the cover.
Yet the way the young couple
necklace reads plausibly." she retort-
ed. You are growing more observ-
ant, Mr.. Griswold."
Sands was overcome by his growing
impatience.
IF the detectives have any ques-
lions to put to Miss Holcomb. l sug-
gest that they waste no time" he
said. There can't be much to ask"
No, there isn't much, Mr.. Sands"
retorted the large Central Office nan
I'D just like to ask the young lady
who she thinks took the diamonds"
Elinor looked amazed.
How should l know" she queried,
a little irritated by the mans abrupt
ness. This is the first I've heard Of
the robbery"
Then maybe you'll explain, miss.

ing of the robbery. nor eve of Mrs.
Missioner's return from the opera. un-
til the housekeeper knocked on my
door with the information Mrs. Mis-
sioner wished to see me in the IL
brary."
II really regard this as wholly un-
necessary, Mr.. Donnelly," said the
widow, with slow insistence. Miss
Holcomb is not only my secretary.
but my trusted friend. Her elder sis
ter vas in my class at Smith. l have
known the Holcombs many years."
You may think you know them,

The presence faded into the per
spective Of the passage and In a few
minutes materialized on the TIRES
~hold-alone.
"Ali Is not in the house, madam
the footman reported.
ASK Miss Holcomb If she sent
him anywhere"
What tribe does his Indian belong
to-" Donnelly inquired importantly.
'Choctaw? Cherokee? Sioux? Maybe
he's an Apache?"
Mrs. Missioner smiled. 1t was not
an unpleasant smile. but 1t Jared an
unconscious HUH" out of the de-
tective. All the others saw the seri'
ous Ranscome smiled too. and Girls
void laughed aloud.
He isn't that kind of an Indian"
Sands enlightened the sleuth. Hes
a native of India-a Hindoo."
"Of course" rumbled the Central
Office a Indignantly. II know that.
What | want to know is what kind of
a Hindoo?"
Il should say he was a Sepoy." re-
marked Griswold. There was a ma
licious CLEAN in his eyes.
"Sepoy-huh?" DonneIly turned to
Carson. What do you know about
that?" he asked. Carson knew moth
ing whatever about that. It would
have been disloyal to know moro than
his colleague.
There was a man in Mulberry Street
Bruxton was to find much more Ell
cient than the present visitors from
Headquarters. AS the widow did not
know that, she was a good deal bored,
and some of her first distress at the
loss OF her Jewels, particularly the
Maharanee diamond, returned. She
was almost Respondent when the de-
tectives, after an exhaustive search
Of the servants quarters, returned.
They had ransacked even the room
of Mrs. Missioner's absent maid, but
to no purpose.
"Is there anything more o wish
to known" asked Mrs. Missioner, RS
Ing. Donnelly was oblivious to tho
hint.
Yes, ma'am. Mis- Missioner" he an
swered. 81 think we'll talk to your
secretary now"

affection, cynicism, mutely replied.
Stretching both hands toward Mrs.
Missioner, advancing with falterlnS
steps, the victim of the detectives
persecution cried: Mrs. Missioner,
Is it possible you can think-do you
even imagine I-I-oh," with a swift
turn to Miss March. Dorothy, Dor
othy!"
To the credit of little Miss March
be 1t remembered she met Elinor's
second appeal with undiminished ten
derness. Mrs. Missioner, too, was
kind, but her gentle mo, Elinor," was
not Us reassuring as the loving pats
Dorothy squandered on the bent shout
ders Of the distressed girl. Sands
swore in his thoughts. His big fingers
bent a gold penholder into wavy lines.
Ranscome, with alternate fnger-tips,
traced lines in his palms. Gr1swold
turned his cigarette round and round
with agile fingers and thumb. Blodg-
ett's eyes seemed to lunge at the de-
tect1ves.
Il guess Miss Holcomb isn't ready
to tell all she knows-yet," said Don
nelly meaningly. while we're walt
ing for her to steady her nerves.,
We'll Just have a look in her room"
Mrs. Missioner was about to Mega
tive the suggestion, but a glance at
Elinor's shaking form stopped her.
She did not reply, and the detectives
walked out Of the room in silence. A
look from the widow sent Blodgett
stalking in their wake. The footman

Not until the central ofice men were
at the end of the passage did the sob
bling secretary start In great agitation
toward the door. On the threshold
she paused and turned slowly till she
faced the group.
Since they are going to search my
the room," she said, In a choking
voice. Il wish you would all come
there with me. II feel that-won't

The men hung back, but Doris and

proceeded to a oom at the end Of
a softly-lighted corridor.
1t was a charming little boudo1r
into which Donnelly's spreading feet
and Carson's fiat tread carried the de-
tectives. Mrs. Missioner, Elinor and
Dorothy went only a little way in
and looked on silently. The men
made their search according to their
natures, Carson with moderate indif-
ference and dispatch, Donnelly ex-
haustively, lingeringly, gloatingly.
When the large sleuth's thick fingers
and beady gaze became more han
ordinary intrusive, Mrs. Missioner
seemed about to protest, but each
time she checked herself.
TT is better to let them search
thoroughly" said Elinor. Since this
is considered necessary, I wish it to
be made complete. Please do nc in

There can be no mistaking the atti-

changes are effected by the manage

On what it has shown thus far the
Sea Gull club would find difficulty n
finishing better than last in a class
u organization, much less in the South
Atlantic. In times past the seaside
city fans have been used to good ball
playing and it stands to reason that
they will not give paying patronage

Though the Jacksonville club got away

nc doubt in the world but that that
organization is even now far and away
superior to Charleston, which for a

According to the baseball writer's in
Charleston the trouble with the club

is placing the monetary end ahead Of
everything else. Without proper re-
turns baseball cannot hope to survive
in any locality, but placing the box
office receipts before the playing club
is plan which seldom or never sue
ceeds. Judging from the way the Gull
outfit is dropping in the percentage
column, it will be hopelessly in last
