PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an infiamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti.
cura Soap and Ointment.
"Not until I commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came of, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until / would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him SO much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free

CHAPTER vi.
Red Dawn.

Presently Amber rose and quietly
exchanged dressing gown and slippers
for his own shooting jacket and boots
by now were dry, thanks to
Doggotts thoughfulness in placing
them near the fire.
The shabby tin clock had droned
through 80 minutes since Rutton had
spoken his last word In that inter
VAL sitting face to face, and for lit
tie time hand In hand, with the man
to whom he had pledged his honor,
Amber had thought deeply, carefully
weighing ways and means; nor did he
move until he believed his plans ma
ture and definite
But before he could take one step
toward redeeming his word to Rut-
ton, he had many cares to dispose of.
In the hut, Rutton lay dead Of poison;
somewhere among the dunes the babu
lay In his blood, shot to death-foully
murdered, the world would say.
Should these things become known, he
would be detained Indefinitely in No
komis as a witness-if, indeed, he es-
capped a graver charge.
It was, then, with mind burdened
with black anxiety that he went to
arouse Doggott.
"Mr. Rutton Is dead, Doggott," he
managed to say with some difficulty.
Doggott exclaimed beneath his
breath. Dead" he cried In tone Of
daze. In two strides he had left Am
Der and was kneeling by Rutton's
side. The most cursory examination,
however, suff1ced to resolve his every
doubt.
Dead" whispered the servant. He
rose and stood swaying, his lips
a-tremble, his eyes blinking through a
mist, his head bowed. "'E always
was uncommon good to me, Mr.. Am
ber,' he said brokenly. Its a bit
ard. comm this wy. 'Ow-'ow did
It" He broks down completely for
time.
When he had himself In more con-
troll Amber told him as briefly as pos
sible of the head at the window and
of its sequel-Rutton's despairing sui
eide.
Doggott listened in silence, nodding
his comprehension. I've always look

warned me never to touch that silver
tube; e never said poison, but sus-
pected 1t, o being blue and melan-
choly like, by fits and tufns-'e never
told me why"
Then, reverently, they took up the
body and laid it out upon the ham,
mock-bed. Doggott arranging the
limbs and closing the eyes before
spreading sheet over the rigid form.
And now, what, Mr.. Amber?" he
asked.
"Mr. Rutton spoke of a dispatch
box. Doggott. You know where to
find it,"
Yes. sir"

Rutton retained his clutch upon Am
