Messrs. Hardesty and Flanagan,

For a few moments he seemed
struggling to command all his
strength.
"A good many years ago." he said,

to speak but his breath choked him.

gasped at last. I've had-a hell of a

HE was shot in the back by one
OF his W men as we were bringing

wounded! We've just had a fight with

The lieutenant broke in with a
sharp command to his men.
Quick, lead us to him, Captain
Plum! If he's not dead"
He started off at a half run beside
Nathaniel.
Lord, it's a pretty mess if he isl"
he added breathlessly. Without
pausing he called back over his Shout

the ship. Tell the captain that Oba-

the opening where the fight had oc-

heart" he whispered.
Even in this moment of excitement
and death his great love drove all else
from his eyes. and the blood surged
into Marion's pale cheeks as she
tremblingly gave her hand. He led
her to the door and held her for a
moment in his arms.
"Strang is Dead" he said softly. In
a few words he told her what had
happened and turned back to the door,
leaving her speeches..
If he is dying-you will tell ne"
she called after him.
Yes, yes, l will tell you"
He ran back into the opening.
The lieutenant had doubled his coat
under Obadiah's head and his face
was pale as he looked up at Nathaui-
ell. The latter saw in his eyes what
his lips kept silent. The officer held
something in his hand. It was the

breathed.
She %shuddered against his breast,
and he raised her face between his
two hands n kissed her until she
drew away from him. crying softly.
You must Wait-you must waltz"
He saw now in her face an agony
that appalled, him. He would have
gone to her again, but there came
loud voices from the forest, and re-
covering his pistol he sprang to the
door. Half a hundred PAGES away
were Obadiah and the kings sheriffs.
They had stopped and the councillor
was expostulating eXcitedly with the
men, evidently trying to keep them
from the cabin. Suddenly one of the
three broke past him and ran swift
ly toward the open door, and with a
shrek of warning to Nathaniel the
old councillor drew a pistol and fired
point blank in the sheriff's back. In
another instant the two men behind
had fired and Obadiah fell forward
upon his face.
With a yell of rage Nathaniel leaped
from the door. He heard Marion cry
out his name, but his fighting blood
was stirred and he did not stop. Oba-
diah had given up his life for him,
for Marion, and he was mad with a
desire to wreak vengeance upon the
murderers. The first man lay where
he had fallen, with Obadiah's bullet
through his back. The other two fired
again as Nathaniel rushed down upon
them. He heard the zip of n of
the balls, which came SO close that
1t stung his cheek.
Take that" he cried.
He fired, still running-once, twice
three times and one of the two men
crumpled down as though a powerful
blow had broken his legs under him..
The other two turned into the path
and ran. Nathaniel caught a glimpse
of a frightened, boyish face, and some
thing of mercy prompted him to hold
the shot he was about to send through
his lungs.
Stop" he shouted. Stop"
He aimed at the fugitive's legs and
fired.
"Stop!"
The boyish sheriff was lengthening
the distance between them and Ma
thaniel halted to make sure of his
last ball. He was about to shoot when
there came a sharp command from
down the path and a file of men
burst into view, running at double

as the man with the naked saber ap-
preached. Then he sprang toward him
with a joyful cry of recognition.
"Sherly-Lieutenant Sherly-don't

The lieutenant had dropped the
point of his saber. He advanced a
step, his face filled with astonish-
ment.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was bern in Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders we're 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 n in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did no do any good, so we took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, if 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.
1--WE decided that it 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 u arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and Dol the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby's
bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Mimi,
