said Adelina Harnack angrily.
'And you may tell him So"
Il haven't seen him for two
years" answered the agent. "He
never stirs outside his grounds.
He's an old hermit and has a
grudge against the world. They.
say he was crossed in love"
How old is he?" asked Mrs.
Harnack curiously.
"Oh, about fifty" answered the
agent carelessly.
So Mrs. HaTnack bought the
property. It was just the place,
she told herself, for a widowed
lady to settle down, and there
was an excellent finishing school
near by for Miriam, her only
child. And days passed and weeks
passed, but neither saw Mr..
Smith.
One day the agent stopped her

What, somebody else going to

Adelina Harnack apprehensively.

the most prominent ports in the United States and
seemed to hold out every promise of extensive
development in the future. George Washington
himself took hand in booming the port, which
developed an extensive foreign trade. The docks
were crowded with warehouses filled with corn,
tobacco and other products, while In the harbor
were always to be found many of the largest class
of cargo ships of that period loading and dis

itching and a kind Of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with q mass OF
pimples which would burn and itch at
night SO that I could hardly stand 1t.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
Of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
clot of blood.
II tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on chair. I was
finally given a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside Of two weeks
could see and feel a great relief.
