CHAPTER ".

To the boatyard and ship-chandler

| Huxtable in the town of Fairhaven, on
the eastern bank of the Acushnet
river, there came-or, rather, drifted
with the tide of casual fancy-to-
ward the close Of day in June, Gar
rett Coast.
A declining sun threw his shadow
| athwart the floor OF the chandlery
Huxtable glanced up from the middle
OF papers on his desk. Coast lounged
| easily in the doorway, with one shout
der against the frame; a man notably
tall and slender and graced, besides,
with a simple dignity of manner that
assorted oddly, in the Hu1table un-
Outstanding, with clothing well-worn
and travel-stained. Out of a face
moderately Drowned, his dark eyes
glimmered with humor whimsical,
regarding HuXtable.
The object of their regard pushed
up his spectacles for n better view
"Well?" he inquired, not without a
suspicion of grim resentment, who
was not weathered TO laughter at his
| own expense.
1t happened, however. that Coasts
amusement sprang from another
cause; his own utter responsibility,
which alone had led him to the chand-
lery, he considered hugely diverting.

When my hands first started TO get

peel off, and the flesh would be all

MY doctor said he didn't think It
would amount to anything. But it kept
getting worse. One day | saw piece

had the same trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment and was cured. i decided to try

he would not play here for any
money, but he wants to get back

CATARRH
Sprays, DOucheS, SnuffS and

Persistent Catarrh Germs
HyOmei, the
AntiSeptic Air. Will

When you can go to any drug store
in any civilized community on earth
and buy for only s1.OO remedy that
VIII quickly rid you of hawking. spit
ting and snuffling, why do you allow
the devilish germs of catarrh to un-
dermine your health and destroy your
efficiency?
Quit sprays and douches. Liquid
cannot penetrate into the hooks. folds
and crevices of the irregular mucous
membrane. Neither can it get into
the bronchial tubes that lead to the
lungs and where germs thrive and
multiply.
If you believe that liquids reach
the air tubes, try to swallow a little
water the wrong way" Such a test
will effectually demonstrate to you the
idle theory that sprays and douces
can cure catarrh.
HHOMEl is a pleasant, antiseptic
air which, when breathed, penetrates
into the folds and crevices of the sore,
germ-infested membrane and also
goes deep into the air cells Of the
lungs, killing all germs.
A HYOMEI outfit costs 81 90. Ex-
