the change in the character of our ur-

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
cUTlCURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and sh,r itched like
poison. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed tefore could
get any relief. Afterwards tho places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and l would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" l used an ointment which
the doctor gave me. SaSS 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to Try The Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years, ana is
considered hereditary, l felt anxious
to try to head it off. / got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what needed.
The disease was making great
Roadway on nay system until | got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of it's pest, and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. / always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet. and l hope

seen this woman, white breasted like
the foam, rising as the ancient god
dress from the Paphian sea. Over that
recollection, as he was gentleman
and Christian. he would fain draw a
curtain, before it erect a wall. He
must not dwell upon that fact, he
would not linger over that moment.
Yet he could not forget it.
Then he had seen her lying prone,

had looked into the unfathomable

manhood and almost broken his heart;
he had carried her unconsciously,

face, stumbling desperately over the
rocks in the beating rain to this, his

bruised slender little foot in his hand,
gently, skilfully treating it, when he
longed to press his, lips passionately

and understood enough to know that
the past was no longer the supreme
subject in his life, that the present
rose higher, bulked larger and hid
more and more of his far-off horizon.
He fe,t like a knaye and traitor,
as if he had been base, disloyal. false

Did he have that rugged strength, that
abiding faith, that eternal conscious

which the rocky paths he often trod
were things transient. perishable, ev-
anescent? Was he weakling that he
fell at the first sight of another
woman?
He stopped his ceaseless pace for
ward and backward, and stopped near
that frail and futile door, She was
there and there was none to prevent.
His hand sought the latch.
What was he about to do? God for

brain then. He held all women sacred
