Up to the day that the Poonah had

The Poonah slipped in to her dock
embarking with Doggott, climbed into
an open ghari on the landing stage
and was driven swiftly to his hotel
AS he alighted and, leaving Doggott
to settle with the ghariwallah, crossed
the sidewalk to the hotel entrance, a
beggar slipped through the throng of
wayfarers, whining at his elbow.

Preoccupied, Amber hardly heard
and passed on; but the native stuck
leach-like to his side.
Give, hazoor-and the mercy of
God shall be upon the heaven-born for
ten thousand years."
Now "heaven-born" is flattery prop
erly reserved for those who sit in
high places. Amber turned and eyed
the man curiously, at the same time
dropping into the filthy, importunate
palm few annas.

And like a flash the man was gone

Absorbed in anticipations of the NOR
row. when first he should set foot in
Calcutta and take the first step in
pursuit Of Sophia Farrell, he had
absent mindedly neglected to empty
the pockets Of his discarded clothing.
At seven he had gone to dinner, leav-
ing his stateroom door open, as was
his habt-a not unusual one with
frst-cabin passengers on long voyages
and his fannels swinging from
hooks in the wall About eight, dis
covering his oversight through the
absence of his cigarette case, he had

stuff into his pockets-with one ex-

But the leather envelope containing
the portrait Of Sophia Farrell was
missing from the breast pocket OF his
coat
From the hour in which he had OBJ

let it out Of his personal possession.
The envelope he had caused to be con-

his enforced inaction in London. He
had never once looked at 1t save in
strict privacy, secure even from the
eyes of Doggott; and the latter did
not know what the leather case con

the very first relaxation of his vigi

valued most. And in his heart he
feared and believed that the incident

with his secret but with that which he
shared with Colonel Farrell.
Since then his every move toward
regaining the photograph had been
fruitless.

name to the clerk, who looked up,
smiling.

Why. yes"
We were expecting you, sir. You
came by the Poonah?"
Yes. but"
There's a note for you" The man
turned to rack, sorting out small
square envelope from others pigeon
holed under "A"
Could it be possible that Sophia
Farrell had been advised of his com
ing? Amber's hand trembled slightly
with eagerness and excitement as he
took the missive.
An Eurasian boy left it for you
half an hour ago" said the clerk.
Thank you" returned Amber, CON
trolling himself sufficiently to wait
until he should be conducted to his
room before opening the note.
1t was not, he observed later, super
scribed in feminine hand. Could it
be from Quain's friend Labertouche 4?
Who else? Amber lifted his
shoulders resignedly. Il wish Quain

said ungratefully; Il can take care of

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and il spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura | sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. | don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. l think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
l have ever used for toilet purposes"

Not long since Representatives of the
is mems and nine WOmen's Protestant
home missionary societies in America
met in Washington and decided upon a
literary campaign during the year 1912.
Among the fea lures Of such campaign
is TO be the publication, in all religious
weeElies, all names and bodies. Of Ger
tain catch phrases, possibly only one
such phrase, designed to grip the pub
lie mind The value Of such phrases as.
"All the news that's fit to print" and
Men and Religion Campaign" men
toned over and over again in the pub
lie prints is sought to be utilized TO
advance the cause Of missions at home
For two months this autumn appeal
has been made. and rewards offered, for
the catch phrase, but thus FAR not a
single phrase worth considering by the
committee has been received. New ap-
peals are going out at present. and in
new quarters What is wanted is a
sentence that viii describe or at least
suggest, the subject Of home missions.
and that by constant use for a given
period viii come TO mean in the public
mind what certain phrases now do that
