that she had been mistreated by her

"ECZEMA ITCHED SOL
COULDN'T STAND IT."

II suffered with eczema ON my neck
for about six months. beginning by
little pimples breaking out. / kept
scratching till the blood came. It
kept getting worse, l couldn't sleep
nights any more. It kept itching for
about a month, then went to a doc
tor and got some liquid to take. 1t
seemed as II was going to get bet
ter. The itching stopped for about
three days, but when it started again
was even worse than before. The &C.
zema itched so badly couldn't stand
it any more. / went to a doctor and
he gave me some medicine, but 1t
didn't do any good. We Lave been
having Cuticura Remedies in the
house, so decided to try them. l
had been using Cuticura Soap, so I
got me a box Of Cuticura Ointment,
and washed of the affected part with
Cuticura Soap three times a day, and
then put the Cuticura Ointment on.
The first day I put it on, 1t relieved
me OF itching so could sleep all that
night. 1t took about a week, then 1
could see the scab come of. kept
the treatment up for three weeks, and
my eczema was cured.
"My brother got his face burned
with gunpowder. and he used Cuti.
cura Soap and Ointment The peO-
pie all thought he would have scars,
but you can't see that he ever had
his face burned. It was simply awful
to look at before the Cuticura Rem
edies (Soap and OintmenD cured it."

Il think, Mr.. Orme," said the secre-

tie clearer insight into the Importance
of the papers which you rescued for
US. You have seen stories OF the ru.
mors of negotiations with some for
eign power?"
Yes" said Orme.
But, perhaps you have not known
of the secret but aggressive policy
which Japan has lately adopted to-
ward us. The exchange of friendly
notes a few years ago might as we'll
not have occurred. If we rad done
nothing to check the tendencies In
the Pacific, we should have been at
war within another year. Only a COM
plete understanding and definite agree
ment with some strong nation could
prevent hostilities. The Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance eliminated Great Brit.
ain as a possible ally. There were
reasons why 1t seemed inadvisable to
turn to France, for an Arrangement
there would involve the recognition OF
Russian interests. Therefore, we
sought an alliance with Germany.

with their look Of sympathetic com
prehension, so like the girl's-the lips
eloquent in their calmness-suTely this
was her father. But Orme's heart
beat faster, for the face of this man,
framed In its waVy hair, was familiar.
Where had he seen this man? That
they had never met, he felt certain,
unless. indeed, they had shaken hands
In a casual and forgotten introduction.
Or was he led into a feeling of rec
ognition by the undoubted resem-
blance Of father to daughter? No, Il
could not be that; and yet this man,
or his picture-ah! The recognition
came to Orme in a fash.
This was the magnetic face that was
now SO often appearing in the press
the face Of the great, the revered, the
able statesman upon whom rested SO
great a part of the burden Of the coun-
try's welfare. No wonder that Orme
recognized 1t, for It was the face OF
the secretary of state! And the girl
was his daughter.
Orme was amazed to think how he
had failed to piece the facts together.
The rumors Of important international
negotiations; the sudden but not Sc.
rious illness of the secretary; his tenn
porary retirement from Washington
to Chicago, to be near his favorite
physician-for weeks the papers had
been full Of these incidents.
When South Americans and jap
