AT THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

I left Mile. de Launay at the T,,i,-

the papers, and returned to the Rue

frame of mind, Why Mile. Dacour had
chosen to ignore me was a problem
which ] tried in vain to solve, and pre-
occupied with this mystery, 1 pushed
way through the crowd without
seeing 1t. Jacques had dinner await
ing my return, and AFTER changing my
clothes, which had been sadly be-
spattered In the passage OF the Rue
st. Honore, / fastened to e my
hunger. When I was once more alone
before h fire with a bottle of wine
at my elbow, I turned again to the So
luton of h problem. But In all those
p~erpssxittes Of woman's nature
I was the merest novice-though I have
since grown wiser by dint Of much
careful study-and / puzzled my head
to no purpose. Twilight came while
/ sat there musing, and Jacques en-
tered with the candles.
"Has monsieur decided where he will
spend the EVENING"" he asked,
Why. no." I said. II have an en-
gagement at 5 o'clock, but twill keep
me no longer than half an hour.
Permit me to remind monsieur that

Esther Was Alarmed.

Esther, a ~fye-year-old daughter of
North side parents, heard much about
the dangers of diphtharia, and was
eager 10 observe every precauuon to

The grocery on the corner to spend
her penny, and was warned by her
mother not to stop and play with III

After having been gone only a few
minutes. che rushed into the house
much excited, exclaiming as she en-
tered:
Mamma, o must keep 'ose boys

plMPLEs COVERED HIS BACK

MY troubles began along In the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with c mass Of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night SO. that l could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My undertaking would be
a clot of blood.
Il tried various remedies and saives
for nearly three years and l was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed l was
In eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back Or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside of two weeks 1
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now l am in good health and
no sign Of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Rene
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them" (Signed) w. A. Armstrong,

Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
