ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
childs face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura RENE
dies to everybody (Signed) Mrs. H
Albrecht, Box 8S3, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. &c, 1910 Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed
free on application to- "Cuticura,"

Returning to his hotel, he changed
cabs as before, went up to his room.
and with one more cocktail for a night
cap, went to bed and to sleep. In the
morning he dressed and shaved, order
ed breakfast and the newspapers sent
up, and waited. But he did not
drink BY nine o'clock his tele-
phone began to ring and the reports to
come in. Nathaniel Letton was taking
the train at Tarrytown. John Dowsett
was coming down by the subway. Leon
Guggenhammer had not stirred out
yet, though he was assuredly within.
And in this fashion, with a map of
the city spread out before him, Day
light followed the movements of his
three men as they drew together. Ma
thaniel Letton was at his offices in the
MutualSolander Building. Next arrived
Guggenhammer. Dowsett was still in
his own offices. But at eleven came
the word that he also had arrived, and
several minutes later Daylight was
in a hired motor-car and speeding for
the Mutual-Solander Building.

Then the grin died away, and his

ears the words, "On my honor as

were, and they had given him the
double-cross. The newspapers were

In which he had battled for his eleven
millions. For awhile murder ate
at his heart, and wild ideas and
sketchy plans of killing his betrayers
flashed through his wind. Daylight IN
locked his grip and took out his auto

leased the safety catch with his thumb,
and, operating the sliding outer bar

Nathaniel Letton did not look apr
