PUTTING THE WOOD TO IT
Umpire O'Louehlin Fails, to Apprecl- ate One Handed to Him by
 St. Louis Catcher.

"An umpire must be dignified on the field, and if there is one thing that peeves Silk O'Loughlin it is to rufle his dignity" says Umpire Billy Evans in the Cleveland Press.
 Catcher Krichell of the St. Louis Browns put one over on Silk one day that drew laugh from both teams. O'Loughlin failed to appre- ciate it.

CHAPTER XIX.

/ was in a situation Of grave peril;
but 1t would have been imprudent be-
vond measure to have admitted it.
"Old Valentine knew a good tap when
he tasted 1t, and there's plenty of the
right sort on board" the American said
to me good naturally. you've only
got to give name to it and the corks
will be flying like rockets. Ask for
what you're wanting, doctor, and I'll
skin the lubber who doesn't run to
fetch II. God knows what my mates
would have done IL you hadn't come
among them"
1t was honestly said, and as honestly
meant. And yet, willingly as / would
have accepted his cordial offer, fear Of
the consequences held me back. Who
would dare to think of drink amid such
crew as this, or to remind 1t that
drink was to be had?
Okyada, my servant. had vanished
unaccountably nor had / heard a sim
gle word concerning him since we came
on board together The yacht had dis
appeared from my ken. In these try
Ing circumstances, / welcomed a re-
quest from one of the seamen that
would visit Colin Ross, the captain Of
the vessel, and until lately the repre-
sentative Of Valentine Imroth, aboard
her. This man found lying grievous-
ly wounded by bullet which had en-
tered the left lung and penetrated in
such an ugly fashion, that his life must
be but a question Of hours.
There was still much mist when
came upon deck at IL o'clock after
caring for Ross. but 1t had lifted to
the northward, and the atmosphere was
pectation Of spying out the yacht
should the breeze strengthen, and yet
there was no hour OF all that emprise
which found me in such desolation Of
spirit or so doubtful Of the ultimate
Issue. Why had my friends made no
effort to reach me? What kept them?
Why did they leave me here at the
mercy Of these cutthroats, my life as a
gossamer which any puff OF anger
might destroy, my liberty in these
humans keeping? Sober reason would
have replied that they could have done
nothing else; but this was not the time
for reason, and, indeed, / came to call
1t the darkest hour Of them all. Vainly
I ragged against my own acts and the
Judgment which had carried me on
board the ship. 1t had been madness to
come; 1t would be madness to let the
men know as much. Already I was
aware of disposition to treat me with
less respect-it may have been pure
imagination, but the idea came into my
head, and brief conversation with the
American did nothing to displace 1t.
81 am going aboard my own yacht"
said to him-that would have been
about the hour of midnight. II am GO
ing aboard my yacht, but will return
at daybreak and see what more I can
do. Mr. Ross says that you are head
Ing for the Brazils. That Is no affair
of mine. The man want is no longer
on the ship. ! have no concern with
the others nor they with me. Let us
put things as straight as we can-and
then talk about the shore"
This should not have been said. It
occurred to me almost as / uttered the
words, that the man had not hitherto
thought about the yacht at all; but
no sooner had spoken than he step
ped to the gangway and Immediately
realized the situation.

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

T can't tell in words how happy the word 'Cuticura sounds to me, for it cured my baby of itching, torturing eczema. It first came when she was between three and four weeks old, appearing on her head. I used every thing imaginable and had one doe tors bill after another, but nothing cured it. Then the eczema broke out so badly behind her ear that I really thought her ear would come off. For months I doetored it but to no avail Then it began at her nose and her eyes were nothing but sores. I had to keep her in a dark room for two weeks. The doctor did no good, so stopped him coming
 For about two weeks I had used Cuticura Soap for her every day, then 1 got box of Cuticura Ointment and began to use that In week there was marked improvement In all l used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and my baby was cured of the sores. This was last November; now her hair is SlOWlAS out ulcely ana Sne mas not scar on her. 1 can not praise Cuti- cura enough, can take my child any where and people are amazed to see her without a sore.
