FACE A SIGHT WITH TETTER

Moberly, Mo.-"My trouble began
with small pimple on the left side Of
my face and it spread all over my
face and to my neck. 1t would be scar
let red when I got warm. My face
was a sight. 1t looked very unpleas-
ant, and it felt uncomfortable. My
face was something awful; it just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
1t was letter, and some said it was
that awful eczema, but I rather think
it was letter. I had been troubled
with 1t for about two years and tried
many remedies. but got no relief until
used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
when I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment 1t would cool my skin
and draw great big drops Of matter
out of the skin. You would think I
was sweating; it would run down my
face just as though I had washed it.

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Hand Clasp.

1t was one o'clock. Blair called a
hanson and told the driver to take
him to the Carlton, and leaning back
in the vehicle he breathed long sigh.
He looked like his father, but he
didn't know it. He felt old. He was
man and tired one and free one,
and the sense of this liberty began to
refresh him like breeze over parched
sand. He thought over what he had
left for a second, stopped longest in
plying Galorey, then went into the
Carlton restaurant to order some sup
per, for he began to feel the need Of
food. He had not time to drink his
wine and partake of the cold pheasant
before he saw that opposite him the
two people who had taken their table
were Lefty Lane and Poniotowsky.
The woman's slender back was turned
to Blair. and his heart gave leap of
pain at the sight of the man with her,

CHAPTER xIx.-Continued.

The boy walked briskly back of the
scenes toward the little door, behind
which, as ne tapped, he hoped with all
his heart to hear her voice bid him
como in. But there were other voices
in the room. He ratified the door knob
and Lefty Lane herself called to him

He had nothing to do but to 60

swear deeply against Poniotowsky
His late ecstasy was turned to gall
The theater seemed horrible to him !:
the chattering of the chorus girls
their giggles, their laughter as he
passed the little groups, all seemed
weird and Internal, and everything be
came an object of irritation.
AS he went blindly out of the the
alter he struck his arm against a piece

sharp and singing, but he was glad of
the hurt
Without, in the street, Dan took his
place with the other men and waited,
bitter taste in his mouth and anger

The young man could have gone

Miss Lane enter the hotel, Poniotow-

apartments.
When Dan came to himself he heard
the chimes of st. Martins ring out
eleven. He then remembered for the
first time that he had promised to
dine alone at home with the Duchess
of Breakwater.
Gosh, Lily will be Wild"
In spite of the lateness Of the hour
he hurried to Park lane. The familiar
face of the man servant who let him
in blurred before the young mans
eyes. Her grace was out at the the

went into the small drawing room,
quiet, empty, reposeful, with a fire

glanced about the room, chose a long
leather sofa. and stretching out his
length, fell asleep. There in the
shadow he slept profoundly, waking
suddenly to find that he was not
alone. Across the room the Duchess
OF Breakwater stood by the table; she
was in evening dress, her cloak and
gloves on the chair at her side. She
laughed softly and the man to whom
she laughed, on whom she smiled, was
Lord Galorey.
Blair raised himself up on the sofa
without making any noise, and he saw
Galorey take the woman in his arms.
The sight didn't make the fiance angry.
He realized instantly that he wanted
to believe that it was true, and as
there was nothing theatrical in the
young westerner, he sprang up, slang
so much a part of his nature that the
first words that came TO his lips was
a phrase in vogue
Look who's here!", he cried, and

The duchess gave a little scream
and Dan lounged up to the two people
and held his hand frankly out to the
lady.
