FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH
PIMPLES AND BLACKHEApS

Atchison, Kan.-"For a number Of
years suffered very greatly from skin
eruption. My face was very red and
Irritated, being almost covered with
pimples and blackheads. The pimples
were scattered over my face. They
were a fine rash with the exception Of
a few large pimples on my forehead

red as if exposed to either heat or
cold. 1t WIS not only unsightly but
very uncomfortable. I tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief.

o'clock in the afternoon the landlady
had heard noise in his room like that
of body falling. On entering she
had found him lifeless on the floor.
She had called policeman, who sent
for an ambulance. The ambulance
doctor found that Mr. Elser had taken
poison.
1t struck me as q peculiar coinci-
dence that two persons so far apart in
the social scale as Katharine Parrish
and Andrew Elser should have chosen
the same hour of the same day to seek
death. Was there something In as
trology after all? Had the stars de-
creed that both should die? Had
some conjunction of the planets, some
evil aspect in the Zodiac driven both
of them-the young heiress, in the
bloom Of joyous youth, and the aged
lawyer. in his decrepit poverty-re-
lentlessly, helplessly. to self-destruc-
ton?
So deep was the impression made on
me by the coincidence that took the
paper with me and read the account of
Elser's suicide to Louise. Even as /
read it aloud, this inexplicable thought
came to me with startling force:
Suppose that these two suicides at
the same hour were more than mere
coincidence. Was 1t possible that the
same shadow had fallen on both these
lives? Had the same mystery driven
them to a death-pact?
1t seemed absurd. It was unlikely
that Katharine Parrish had ever heard

ours with more or less regularity until
