BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

cura Soap and Ointment are sold by

sample of each, with S2-page book,

Only in Tradition Does History Live
and Only One Version OF Story
Is Ever Heard.

If we could only get at the facts OF
the history of our Indian tribes. II
would be of interest to compare these
with what is related as the fortune OF
most civilized nations. 1t is only In
tradition that the history of the In
dian lives, and only one version OF
the story is ever heard. Sometimes
this is so true to nature that no room
for doubt can be found. Such Is the
following chapter from the annals or
the Beavers, a Canadian tribe.
One day young chief shot his ar
row through dog belonging to an
other brave The brave revenged the
death of his dog, and instantly hun
dred bows were drawn. Ere night. had
fallen some eighty warriors lay dead
around the camp, the pine woods rang
with the lamentations of the women;
the tribe had lost it's bravest men,
There was a temporary truce. The
friends of the chief whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people. and 1t was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe

wilderness lying to the south
In the night they began their
march. suIlenly their brethren saw

all but incoherent. you sit there
and and gloat, damn you! When all

thinks himself so Internally clever!
What 'dyou say, you Irish braggart if
told you you'd never see the Pool

I'D say" returned O'Rourke, "that
you were either lying or fool. In
either case a fool. If, as We seem to
be trying to make me believe-which
don't for one instant-ye have sue
ceeded in stealing the Pool of Flame,
I'll hunt the pair of We to the ends OF
the earth, if need be-"
He eyed them refectively during a
moment or two made interesting by
Glynn's desperate attempts to blurt
out indiscretions against the prohibi'
ton of the vicomte something which
the older man enforced crudely by
clapping his hand across the English
mans mouth, as well as by whisper
| ing savagely in his ear.
But there'll be no need" continued
the Irishman, when Glynn was calm.

elephant it would be on your hands.
1T does not seem to strike mon

Their persistence in limiting that

ruby perplexed and discounted him
He did not believe it; twas incon

things to happen. Still, without g

CHAPTER x.

1t was high noon when O'Rourke
drove up before the Palace of the
Governor-General Weary, dusty and
travel-stained as he was, he hesitated
no instant about sending in his name
and requesting an interview with the
representative of Frances sovereign
power
Disappointment awaited him at the
very outset; disappointment in the
shape of word that his excellency was
away. But the name of O'Rourke was
one we'll and favorably known in the
province, and secured him an invita-
ton to ascend to the Governors Office
and state his business-if he cared
to do soto the gubernatorial secre-
tary.
Upon consideration he accepted, and
a little later was seated in a broad,
low, cool room in the old Moorish
palace, the affable secretary a
young, lively and engaging French
man-solicitously sounding him as to
his errand.
1t was obviously the Office of man
of great affairs. presenting an eminent
ly business-like look for all its ORR
entail setting. To one side, set in the
solid masonry of the wall, was mas
sive safe with doors ajar, exposing a
cavity well stocked with documents.
1t occurred to the adventurer that
such safe might easily have been
the place of security selected by the
Governor-General for anything he held
in trust. He built upon it a theory
whilst he listened-nor lost a point
and replied to the secretary.
The latter regretted excessively
that his excellency was absent: his
excellency would undoubtedly be desc
lated when he returned and found he
had missed Colonel O'Rourke.
He'll be back soon, monsieur"
Alas, nor with a shrug. HE is
en- route for Paris-possibiy arrived
by this moment-on matters of state"
And he left?"
Several days since. monsieur"
You know nothing of this package,
Endorsed with the name of Monsieur
Chambret?"
To the contrary: the secretary knew
it very well. Ke could place his hand
upon it at any moment-monsieu

THE OLD PLEA
He "Dldn't Know 1t Was Loaded"

The coffee drinker seldom realizeS
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,

ease, noticeably dyspepsia.

II consulted a physician; was told

Tactfully the vicomte digressed
from the unpleasant topic. Il have
asked you here, monsieur" he said
with an air of depreciation, "to confer
with me on business after we have
dined. l trust the arrangement suits
your convenience"
I'm content, monsieur"

vent me from receiving you under

servant, and, Dinner is announced,
he said. do me the honor to &C.
company me to the table"
In the course of time, as the vicomte
had predicted, the Honorable BERTHE
joined them; and on sight O'Rourke
diagnosed the "indisposition" as plain
intoxication. The Englishman was
deep in his cups, far too deep to ape
the urbanity of his host. He favored
O'Rourke with curt nod and surly
look then slumped Imply into chair
and called for champagne, which he
drank greedily and with a sullen air,
avoiding the vicomtes eye. Before
dessert was served he passed into a
black humor, and sat mutely glover
ing at his glass (what time he was
not unsteadily filling it, without re
