Mary had little ring; twas given by her beau; and everywhere that Mary went that ring was sure to go.
 She took the ring with her one day, when she went out to tea where she might display it to the girls, who num- bered twenty-three.

ERUPTION LIKE PIMPLES

Wathena, Kan.--"My chiId's scalp
trouble became SO bad that ! was
ashamed to have anyone see him. His
head had a solid scab on it. He also
had a terrible breaking out on his face
which was gradually growing worse.
The eruption was like pimples which
developed into sores when he scratch

Baby would almost scratch himself
raw.

Of salve, one of them helping In the
least bit, when I saw the Cuticura adj

me think Of the good results my sister

ELECTRIC LIGHT IN DENMARK
Every Town In That Country of Over
5000 Population Has
Public Service.

According to recent Information
about the progress Of electric light
and power industries in Denmark, it
appears that all the towns OF 5000
Inhabitants and over are now provid-
ed with public electric service, says
the Scientific American. AS to towns
having between 5000 aud 5000 inhab-
ltants, there are only three in which
electric mains are not installed, SO
that 1t will be seen that Denmark is
one OF the most progressive countries
in this respect. The largest sized cleo
trio stations are to be found at Co
penhagen and at present there are
three large plants in operation giving
a total Of $1,000 horse power. Cur
rent Is supplied for the city mains,
as we'll al for the tramway lines. AS
regards the Danish stations in small
towns. In general each town has it's
own plant, and there Ia but one ex-
ample OF an intercommunal system.
This Is at Skovshoved, near Copenha-
gen. and the central station extends
Its power lines over all the suburban
regions, also supplying the tramways
of Hellerup and Klampenburg. In
most OF the town electric stations the
Diesel heavy oil engine is used.

CHAPTER XXXIII.
If YOU WOULD ONLY LET YOUR
SELF GO.

1T YOU WOULD ONLY LET YOUR
SELF GO.
Luke was sitting at q desk, writing,
when Louisa entered his room. Only
one lamp shaded with yellow silk hung
above the desk, throwing golden light
on paper and plotting pad and on the
hand which held the pen.
When Luke turned at the sound of
the opening door his face remained in
deep shadow. He could not of course
see her distinctly, as her figure was
shouted against the light in the pas
sage behind her; hat was no doubt the
reason why he did not rise to greet her
when h entered. but remained seated
at his desk.
May I come in. Luke" she asked.
Certainly" he replied. Il was just
writing to YOU"
Then give me your unfinished letter,
and tell me what else you were going
to WRITE,
"Oh! 1 had only got as far as your
name" he said, pointing to the empty
page before him.
Was it so difficult, then" she asked,
ito tell me eVerything?"
She had come forward into the room
and stood beside his desk, one hand
resting upon it, her face looking down
at the letter which he had not yet be-
gun to write. He still made no attempt
to rise, for now her face was in full
golden light, and he could see its every
feature.
1T is so difficult" he said, mot to
write drivel when one is saying good.
bye
you are going away" she asked.
yes"
Tonight"
"In half an hour"
You are going abroad?"
Certainly"
"Why?"

quaking Shoulders of tie younger girl,
you are just going to show father and
me how brave o can be. You are
Luke's nearest and dearest one on
earth; you must rot ado. 10 his troubles
by this exaggerated show of grief.
Wen all have to be b~rave--all Of U.s.
but Luke Will have to be the braves
of US all, n SO we must all do our best
to Keep up our courage, and help his
own. '
She was not accustomed to making
such long speeches, nor yet to preach
and to admolish. Life. before now,
had never placed her in the necessity
of aurnonishlng others; everybody
round her-the people with whom she
came In contact always behaved very
much as they srouId-in the proper
conventional worldly manner People
she had hitherto to do with, did not
give way to hysterical tears, nor had
they occasion to display fortitude in
shock. ~ y
Therefore Louisa was not sure IL her
words would carry weight, or if they
would produce the effect she
desired. She gazed anxiously at Edle
whilst she spoke, looking with
hopeful yet fearful eyes in the por girls
face, wondering IL she had succeeded
in calming the hysterical outburst.
Edie hung her head, wilfully yelling
her eyes beneath the dropping lids. She
twirled her gosSamer handkerchief into
a tight wet ball and toyed with it nerv-
ously.
Its not much good" she said at last.
In very low tones so that Louisa had
some difficulty In hearing what she
said, my trying to be brave-when
Luke Is such a cowardl"
BE quiet, Edie," retorted Louisa, all
her kindness n sympathy gone, and
pushing the girl roughly away from her.
You have no right to talk like that"
We'll, Colonel Harris" rejoined Edie,
turning to the man in her distress, II
ask you, If 1t isn't just cowardice to run
away now, and leave me and Jim to
face the whole thing alone?"
ITO run away? What do you mean?'
demanded Louisa, placing her hand on
the girls shoulder, forcing her to turn
round and to face her.
Who's running away" qucried Colo
mel Harris with a frown.
Luke" said Edie hotly, lis running
away. He came home just now, and
calmly told me that he was going off
abroad tonight, and since Their he has
been shut up in his room, packing his
things. / have been all alone here all
day. Jim won't be home till late to-
night. Poor old Jim! what a fearful
homecoming 1t will be for him
But to this renewal of Edie's lamen-
t~ations, Louisa had not listened, only to
the words: Luke said that he was
going abroad tonight"
Luke-fugitive from justice! The
monstrous, unbelievable picture which
she had tried to visualize just now had
become u mirror rejecting awful. hid
eous reality.
Where is Luke ?" asked the colonel.
ia better see him"
mo, father" i~nterposed Louisa
quickly. ia sooner speak to Luke.
Can I go to him, Edie?"
Yes. / think so," replied the other.
Il don't suppose that he has locked his
door"
Louisa said her father gently, II
don't think you'll be doing any good.
dear. A man must act as he thinks
best"
I'm not" she replied, going to in
terfere with Luke's plans. / only want
to speak to him. Don't bother, Edie.
