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

ION July q, 1909, we left Boston for
q trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to doc.
tor who gave US medicine for him.
The trouble started In the form Of a
rash and was all over baby's body.
head and face, at different times. It
irritated. and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
"When we reached England we took
baby 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 it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby

Malroy the day before he saw her
again, with Ferris and Judith and a
pile of luggage bestowed by the way
side. 4 Betty did not observe him as
the coach stopped, for she was In
tent on her farewells with her friends.
There were hasty words OF advice
from Ferris, prolonged good-bys to
Judith, tears-kisses-whil place
was being made for her many boxes
and trunks. Darlington gathered that
she was going north to Washington:
that her final destination was some
point either on the Ohio or Missis-
sippi, and that her name was Betty.
Then the door slammed and the stage
was in motion again.
All through the morning they swung
forward in the heat and dust and
glare, and at midday ratified. into the
shaded main street of a sleepy village
and drew up before the tavern where
dinner was waiting them. 1T :
Betty saw Darlington when she
took her seat. and gave scarcely
perceptible start of surprise. Then
her face was flooded with q rich col
or. This was the man who saw her
with Captain Murrell yesterday!
There was brief moment OF irreso-
luton and then she bowed coldly,
1t was four days to Richmond. Four
days OF hot. dusty travel. four nights
OF uncomfortable cross-road stations.
where Betty suffered sieepiess nights
and the unaccustomed pangs OF early
rising. She occasionally found her
self wondering who Darlington was.
She approved Of the manner in which
he conducted himself. She liked q
man who could be unobtrusive.
The next morning he found himself
seated opposite her at breakfast He
received another curt little nod, cool
and distant, as he took his seat.
You stop in Washington p said
Darlington.
Betty shook her head. mo. l am
going on to Wheeling"
You're fortunate in being SO near
ly home" he observed. Pm going
on to Memphis"
Betty exclaimed: why. am 60
ing to Memphis, tool"
Are you? BY canal to Cumber-
land, and then by stage over the Ma
tional Road to Wheeling?"
Betty nodded. 1T makes one wish
they'd finish their railroads, doesn't
it? Do you suppose they'll ever get
as far west as Memphis?" she said.
They say it's going to be bad for
the river trade when they're built on
something besides paper" answered
Darlington. And l happen to be q
flatboatman, Miss Malroy."
No more was said just then, for
Betty became reserved and did not at
tempt to resume the conversation. A
day later they rumbled into Washing
ton, and as Betty descended from the
coach Darlington stepped to her side.
Il suppose youll stop here, Miss
Malroy," he said, indicating the tav-
ern before which the stage had come
to a stand. go
Yes said Betty briefly.
IF can be of any service to you
he began. with just touch OF awk-
wardness in his manner.
mo. l thank, you, Mr.. Darlington"
said Betty quickly.

CHAPTER VI.
Betty Sets out for Tennessee. .

Betty Sets Out for Tennessee. (.
Bruce's first memories had to do
with long nights when he perched be-
side his father on the cabin roof OF
their keel-boat and watched the stars
or the blurred line OF the shore where
Z 1t lay against the sky, or the lights on
other barges and RATS drifting as
they were drifting. with their wheat
and corn and whisky. to that COM
mon market at the rivers mouth.
Bruce Darlington had seen the day
Of barge and raft reach its zenith.
had heard the first steam packets
shrieking whistle, which sounded the
death-knell OF the ancient order,
though the shifting OF the trade was q
slow matter and the glory OF the old
did not pass over to the new at once.
but fingered still in mighty fleets OF
RATS and keel-boats and in the HO-
smeric carousals OF some ten thousand
OF the half-horse, half-alligator breed
that nightly gathered in New Orleans.
After the reading OF the warrant
that morning. Charley BALKAN had
shown Darlington the road to the
Forks, assuring him when they sep
arated that with little care and
decent use OF his eyes 1t would be
possible to fetch up there and not
pass plumb through the settlement
without knowing where he was.
He was on his way to Fayetteville.
where he intended to spend the night,
and perhaps day or two in looking
around, when the meeting with Betty
and MurrelI occurred. The girls face
remained with him. 1t was face he
would like to see again.
He was still thinking OF the girl
when he ate his supper that night at
aCleggett's Tavern. Later. in the bar.
he engaged his host in idle gossip. He
had met gentleman and lady on
the road that day! he wondered. as
he toyed with his glass, If 1t could
have been the Ferrises? Mounted?
Yes. mounted Then it was Ferris
and his wife-or 1t might have been
Captain Murrell and Miss Malroy.
Miss Malroy did not live in that part
Of the country; she was a friend OF
Mrs. Ferris, belonged in Kentucky or
Tennessee, or somewhere out yonder
at any rate she was bringing her
visit to an end, for" Ferris had in
structed him to reserve place for
her in the north-bound stage on the
morrow.
Darlington suddenly remembered
that he had thought OF starting north
in the morning himself.
The stage left at six, and as Car
r,ngton climbed to his seat the next
morning Mr.. Cleggett was advising
the driver to look sharp when ne
came to the Barony road. as he was
to pick up party there. 1t was Car
rjngton who looked sharp, and almost
at the spot where he had seen MISS

need it" Four hundred dollars in 500
bills were thrust into the hands of the
fire leader. Too astonished for utter
ance, the fire chief looked at the
money. He could hardly believe his
eyes. Suddenly smile broke out on
his face. He thought OF how much
coffee he could get for $500. When re-
lieved from duty he figured the prob-'
lem and found that 100000 men could
each have a cup of coffee from what
could be purchased at wholesale rates
for $500. The money will go to the

AUNT JANE" BARKS
$4,000 FROM HER
+. BIG 14-|NCH MOUTH
War Departments New Baby,
! Greatest in the World,
PleaSes Officials.

Aunt Jane" Is all right. She is the
new baby. She is the biggest baby the
world has yet seen and when she
sonawks something drops seven miles or
80 away. Drops so hard. too. they say,
that anything hit would never bother
about answering back.
In the Navy and the Coast Artillery
they are real proud Of Aunt Jane" to-
day. She is their latest pet some day,
maybe soon. they will have a still big
ger infant. of course: but just at pres
ent Aunt Jane" satisfies all their long
ings. They tried out her singing voice
ct Sandy Hook yesterday and she beat
Al records.
Lieut-Col. r. B. Babbitt and Brig
Gen. Crozier. head of the War College.
who are prominent among Aunt
James" principal nurses, said after the
trials that Uncle Sam was entitled to
be proud of his latest. No other coun-
try has an infant like it and its voice
beats all expectations, they said.
Just in her birthday clothes Aunt
Jane" weighs fifty tons. Her cradle
weighs 7os tons; 2S6 tons for the carriage
part proper, 2e2 tons for the part that
makes II move and 100 tons for tho part
that saves 1t from topping over when
bsby lets loose one OF her yells. For all
that Aunt Jane" Is so tractible that
both she and her pretty cradle can be
managed with one hand.
AUNT JAMES MOUTH IS FOUR.
TEEN INCHES WIDE.
But tho special feature about Aunt
Jane" Is that her little round mouth
y fourteen inches across. Never an
other child Of the sort had a mouth
more than twelve inches. 1t has taken
years to add those extra two inches
and the parents themselves were no,
sure Of their success until they saw
Aunt Jane" at play.
Now there Is no doubt. and little
sisters Like Aunt Jane will 90 down
to take care of the Panama Canal
Others will be put in charge OF Homo
lulu and the harbor at Manila. The
biggest warships in the world, the New
York. launched the other day. and the
Texas. building at Newport News, are
to carry other OF Aunt James" little
sisters to help take care OF the United
states generally and keep the bogeymar
away.
Every time Aunt Jane" speaks she
costs Uncle Sam about $500, to say
nothing of the cost of her maintena nee
which is deal more. OF the 81 800
Just half, or 500, Is the cost OF Aunt
