this side OF the Atlantic. admittedly
reporting to his government the vari.
GUS activities Of the United States, es-
pecially in some of their island pro-
tectorates. He returned to his home
country, and nothing more was heard
Of him for several years.
One day toward the end of 1910 a
man who had met this officer on his
first visit was much surprised to meet
him again on a ferryboat at New York
city. The officer vas dressed in CIV
ilian clothes and either did not recog-
nize his former acquaintance or pre-
tended not to recognize him. When
addressed, however. he readily &C
knowledged his identity. He said he
was in this country permanently and
was working In a factory on Staten
Island. This factory was within half
an hours walk OF some Of the most
important Notifications on the Atlantic
seaboard.
Some time later the acquaintance
called up the factory to see II the man
was still there. He was not. but had

It developed into sores, and we were
afraid 1t would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and 1t used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was com.
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised US to try Cuticura
