WHAT CAUSES FRECKLES, AND

Refunded.

The medical profession tell us that
freckles are caused by a deposit Of
pigment in numerous small areas, III
though the actual reason for these de-
posits having formed has never been
discovered. The old fallacy, once
freckled, always freckled, has not
held true since the discovery Of VIII
sons Freckle Cream.
Miss Lucille Scott, of Scotia, S. c.
recently wrote us as follows: Il have
used many things to get rid of my
freckles, but | have never found any
thing SO good as Wilson's Freckle
Cream. l cannot say enough for it.
This is a mild face bleach, and is
positively guaranteed to cure freckles,
pimples and blackheads. 1t leaves the
skin smooth and soft as velvet, i'm

radience.
The first jar of Wilson's Freckle
Cream will cause your freckles to per

entirely remove them. Should it fan

fore the fifth day, and meanwhile |
mlgnC observe Frank and try to solve
the riddle of his conduct.
He seemed a good boy. but some
what secretive and mysterious. He
had built a little house for himself
at the rear edge Of the garden. and
though he lacked any direct instruction
in carpentry the work had a distinct
professional finish. There he spent
most of his leisure. working with fools
and often making salabIe articles, but
chiefly occupied with some invention,
his sister told me.
Frank would admit me to this house,
but not to its secrets An end of it's
single room was always screened Off.
l became more and more firmly con-
vlnced that the solution of the whole
mystery lay behind that screen.
There was no way to get into the
little house unobserved in the daytime.
and at last I resolved upon a burglari-
GUS midnight entry.
Upon the evening which I had select
ed for my amateur burglary Celia and
l sat little later than usual by the
fire, and it was some while past II
when I crept. out of the silent house
and across the back garden and broke
into Franks den.
The first object that met my eye
when I had removed the screen COM
pletely staggered me. 1t was an up
right piano covered in the usual way
for shipment. but absolutely unmis-
taxable A placard was attached, and.
bending forward with my candle, |
read the words, Cecilia, from Uncle
Oliver"
There were several smaller: objects
whose shape did not disclose their
nature. and saw that Franks own
name was upon one Of them. The boy
must have played Santa Claus with
his uncle's money. But how had he
managed to buy the things and to
