Pooling His
Father


copyright. 1912. by Associated LiteraFJ
Press.)
Berkeley sat staring vacantly
through the open door. his fathers
letter in his hand. This. then. was
what his exile really meant.
When Harmon Osbon had sent him
to Montaria as assistant superintend
ent Of construction. he had thought
that the elder man was ready to give
him another chance. Berkeley was an
only son and had been his mothers
baby until her death, year ago.
He had not found it easy to make
the change to his fathers son in the
short space since. He had proved
disappointing in a business way be
cause he had neglected an important
deal to see his Alma Mater meet
and slaughter-her most cherished
rival on the gridiron.
He had thought that the transfer
to the tiny little South America re
public was to permit him to make q
fresh start, but the letter he held In
his hand disillusioned him.
Spencer, the chief of construction Of
the Montaria Inland railway. which
was to tap the rich agricultural dis
tricts on its way to the silver mines,
had asked him to look up some In
structlons from New York. In bis
search he had found his fathers per.
sonal letter to Spencer carelessly
thrust among the ONCE documents.
One sentence burned into bis mind.

but keep him down there"
He had been a failure In the ONCE
at home. He had been sent down here
to get him out Of the way. He repeat
ed the sentence over and over again
as he gazed straight through the open
door to where the tiny work engine
painted up and down the single track
road with more noise than effective.
ness. At last he swung back to the
desk.
I'll fool you yet, Dad" he cried,
"I'll fool you good"
The next morning Spencer stared
when Berkeley came to breakfast in
khaki instead OF nannels. "Coing up
to the end of the road" he explained.

beware OF CL0GGING PORES
CareIessness In Washing or Too Law.
ish Use Of Paints or Powders
Most Frequently to Blame.

The clogging of pores is less often
due to natural conditions than to mis-.
management. The girl who habitual'
ly and lavishly paints or powders will
before long find herself with the un'
slightly enlarged pores that ruin the
best complexion.
If you must use cosmetics. use them
with judgment. Never powder direct
ly after washing tho face, especially
II hot water or steaming has been EN-.
ployed. The skin is relaxed, the pores
open, and the powder clogs.
After washing the face use an as.
tringent lotion or dash the face with
cold water. This is one OF the best
pore closers known and tones up the
skin. After the cold spray there Is
far less harm from powdering. though
It should not be put on thickly and
only a good powder should be used.
Some powders have greasy quail
ity that makes them especially prone
to clog. Pure talcum is a good choice.
DO not let 1t stay on too long, espe.
cially when one Is overheated. The
constant use of powder to prevent
shine In summer is one reason for
bad skins and enlarged pores In the
fall.
Never tampcr with astringent 10
tons without advice from skin spe-
cialist. If your skin Is fine or senst.
tive 1t can be quickly ruined by prep.
arations that agree admirably with
others. The constant use Of benzoin,
so often advised, Is harmful to many
skins. Even more so is the practice
OF dashing the face with vinegar OF
pure alcohol.
