RASH ALL OVER BABY's BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

ION July 81, 1909, we left Boston for
q trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in. ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
yer his body. We took him to q doc
tor who gave US medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of q
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
irritated, and he would scratch 1t with
all his might. The consequence was
It developed into sores. and we we're
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face. .
when we reached England We took
LADY to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change Of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and 1t used to
Itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. It was at this time that. my
mother advised US to try Cuticura

cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars. or

CHAPTER xI.-Continued.

Daylight could not persuade MIN
self to keep to the Travelled roaos
that day, and another cut across u
try to Glen Ellen brought him upon
a canyon that so blocked his way enat
he was glad to follow a friendly cow
path. This led him to a small frame
cabin. The doors and windows were
open, and a cat was nursing a litter
of kittens in the doorway. but no one
seemed at home. He descended the
trail that evidently crossed the can
yon. Part way down, he met an olo
man coming up through the sunset
In his hand he carried a pail OF foamy
milk. He wore no hat, n in MS
face, framed with snow-white hair anu
beard, was the ruddy glow and CON
tent of the passing summer day.
Daylight thought that he had never
seen so contented looking a being.
How old are you. daddyf" he quer'
led. .
"Eighty-four," was the reply. YES
Stree, eighty-four. and spryer thar
most"
You must a. taken good care OF
yourself" Daylight suggested.
IT don't know about that. amt
loafed none. I walked across the
plains with an OK team and fit In1uns
in 81, and I was a family man with
seven youngsters. I reckon was as
old then as you are now, or pretty
nigh on to It."
Don't you find 1t lonely here?"
The old man shifted the pail Of milk
and reflected.
That all depends" he said oracul-
arly. 81 amt never been lonely ex-
cept when the old wife died. Some
fellers are lonely In a crowd, and I'm
one Of them. That's the only time
I'm lonely, is when I go to Frisco.
But / don't go no more. thank you
most to death. This Is good enough
for me. I've been right here In this
valley since '54-one Of the first set
tiers after the Spaniards."
The old man chuckled, and Day
light rode on, singularly at peace with
himself and all the world. 1t seemed
that the old contentment of trail and
camp he had known on the Yukon
had come back to him. He could not
shake from his eyes the picture OF
the old pioneer coming up the trail
through the sunset light. He was GER
tainly going some for eighty-four. The
thought of following his example en-
tered D~aylight's mind, but the big
game Of San Francisco vetoed the
idea.

Am l right?"
Daylight nodded.
"Well. I'm glad I wrote that letter
! this afternoon" the little man went
on, cor else I'd have missed seeing
you. I've seen your photo In the pa
pers many a time. and I've a good
memory for faces. l recognized you
at once. My names Ferguson"
do you live hereabouts?" Daylight
repeated his query.
"Oh, yes. I've got a little shack
back here in the bush a hundred yards
and a pretty spring. and a few fruit
trees and berry bushes. Come in and
take a look. And that spring is a
dandy. You never tasted water like
it. Come In and try It."
Walking and leading his horse, Day
light followed the quick-stepping.
eager little man through the green
tunnel and emerged abruptly upon the
clearing, If clearing it might be called,
where wild nature and mans earth
scratching were inextricably blended.
1t was a tiny nook In the hills. pro-
tected by the steep walls Of a canyon
mouth. Here were several large oaks,
evidencing a richer soil. The erosion
of ages from the hillside had slowly
formed this deposit Of fat, earth. Un.
der the oaks. almost buried In them.
stood a rough. implanted cabin. the
wide veranda OF which. with chairs
and hammocks, advertised an out-of-
doors bedchamber. Daylight's keen
eyes took in everything. The clearing
was irregular, following the patches
Of the best soil, and every fruit tree
and berry bush, and even each vege-
table plant, had the water personally
conducted to it The tiny irrigation
channels were everywhere, and along
some of them the water was running.

Ferguson looked eagerly into his
visitors face for signs Of appreciation.
What do you think Of it, eh?"
"Hand-reared and manicured. every
blessed tree" Daylight laughed. but
the Joy and satisfaction that shone in
his eyes contented the little man.

fed them, and brought them up. Come
on and peep at the spring"
Its sure a hummer" was Daylight's
verdict, after due inspection and SAM
pling. as they turned back for the
house.
The interior was a surprise. Tho
cooking being done in the small, lean
to kitchen. the whole cabin formed q
large living-room. A great table in
the middle was comfortably Uttered
with books and magazines. All the
available wall space, from wall to cell
ing. was occupied by filled book
shelves. 1t seemed to Daylight that
he had never seen so many books as
sembled in one place. Skins Of wild
cat, coon and deer lay about on the
pine-board floor.
Daylight found himself charmed and
made curious by the little man. Why
was he hiding away here in the chap
arral, he and his books? So 1t was,
when between them they had washed
and wiped the dishes and put them
away. and had settled down to a COM
Portable smoke, that Daylight put his
question.
Look here. Ferguson. Every since
we got together, I've been casting
about to find out what's wrong with
you, to locate a screw loose some
where. but I'll be DANCED If I've sue

WHEREIN DADDY WAS WRONG
Tommy Resented Injustice Done TO
Saw, After He Had Proved
Its Temper.

Mr.. A, who was planning to
build an outdoor sleeping porch at the
back Of his house, had an expensive
new saw. sent home from a hardware
store. He left his Office early the next
afternoon, with the intention Of get
ting the porch well under way before
dinner; and, as he vas very much in
terested In doing the work himself, he
donned a pair Of overalls and went at
It in good spirits. An hour or 80 later
he came tramping into the house. his
face dark with evaporation, and flung
himself down in disgust.
"That new saw I bought isn't worth
five cents" he stormed. why, the
thing won't cut butter!"
His small son Tommy looked up in
wide-eyed surprise.
"Oh, yes, 1t would, daddy" he said,
earnestly; "why. Ted and I sawed q
whole brick in two with 1t just this
morning!"-Harpers Magazine.

CHAPTER XII.

Instead Of returning to the city on
Monday, Daylight rented the butchers
horse for another day and crossed the
bed of the valley to its eastern hills.
AS on the previous day, just for the
tcy of 1t, he followed cattle-trails at
haphazard and worked his way up TO-
ward the SUBMITS. Coming out upon
a wagon road that led upward, he fol-
lowed It for several miles, emerging
IN a small, mountain-encircled valley,
where half a dozen poor ranchers
farmed the wine-grapes on the steep
slopes. Beyond. the road pitched up
ward. Dense chaparral covered the
exposed hillsides. but in the creases
Of the canyons huge spruce trees
grew, and wild oats and flowers.
Late in the afternoon he broke
through, and followed a well-dehned
trail down a dry canyon. The dry
canyon gave place to n with a slen-
der ribbon Of running water. The
trail ran into q wood-road, and the
wood-road emerged across a small fiat
upon a slightly travelled country road.
There were no farms in this immedi-
ate section, and 40 houses. The soil
was meager, the bedrock either close
to the surface or constituting the sur
face itself. Manzanita and %scrub-oak.
however. fourished and walled the
road on either side with a Jungle
growth. And out a runway through
this growth a mar suddenly scuttled
in a way that reminded Daylight Of a
rabbit.
He was a little man. in patched
overalls; bareheaded. with a cotton
shirt open at the throat and down the
chest. The sun was ruddy-brown in
his face, and by 1t his sandy hair was
bleached on the ends to peroxide
blonde. He signed to Daylight to
halt, and held up a letter.
IF you're going to town. I'd be
obliged If you mall this" he said.
II sure will" Daylight put 1t into
his coat pocket. do you live here

But the little nan did not answer.
He was gazing at Daylight in a sur
prised and steadfast fashion.
