FACE A SIGHT WITH letter

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

a month and I was cured Of It." (Sign-

HAD THE %BANDMAsTER GOING
Governor Suffered Because HIa Re-
quest Was Not Couched In Plain
Enough Language.

Mr.. Melvil Dewey. state librarian
of New York, said recently that libra
ries would do well to furnish free mu-
sic rolls for player-pianos. Just al
they now furnish books.

other day, my project has been late
ly i~naugurated. 1t will accomplish
much for the musical art"
Then, apropos of music and igno-
rance, DR.. Dewey told a story.
"A certain governor" he said, was
being lunched at a seaside town. Dur
ing the repast the local band played
on the beach outside the hotel. The
drum was in charge of a blacksmith,
and he beat 1t so resonantly that at
last this message was Sent out:
1.-The governor requests the drum
mer to desist.'
THE bandmaster was puzzled by
this message for a moment; then his
face frightened In a smile. and he
said:
more drum. Joe; the governor
likes it."

"Therell be no dropping one of those

He gaped tremendously. The peace
Of the night, the singing of the waves
against the RANGES sides, the deep
throb and unbroken surge of her en-
gines, and the sustained. clear note
of the monsoon in her wire rigging
these combined with physical fatigue
to soothe the man, to lull him into
fantastic b%orderland of dreams. Yet
such was his command of self that he
would not yield to the caressing touch
Of drowsiness, but merely lay motion
less and at rest, communing with his
fancy. And that led him out OF the
sordid saloon of the Rance across the
seas that lay ahead of that ships

to convey the Pool Of Flame. . .
Abruptly he leapt to his feet, wide
awake and raging.
A blow was still sounding through
the saloon a dull crash. Buried half

of the transom a knife quiyered. In

closed upon the grip of his revolver.

Nov Danny happened to have on

rom the bridge saw him come up the
Bngsne-room companion ladder. dive
hio the messroom for his dinner. and
later emerge. picking his teeth and
grinning self-complacency until his
master could have kicked him, had
such a course been polite before the
crew, or even consistent with the dig
nifty of his office.
"A word to say to We. sor, II I may
make SO bold"
OR0urke glanced at the helmsman,
and having long since made up his
mind that the man was competent,
left him In possession OF the bridge

What is it,"
Danny lowered his voice to a hoarse
shisper. "Kape yer eye on thot black
Aivvie up there. sor, for the love OF
Haiyen. and don't look surprised at
anything"

along the rail. to a point whence he
could see the head and shoulders OF

-Ah," commented O'Rourke. Thank

He continued to watch the serang
until the latter, as IL influenced by the
afxity OF the frishman's regard, turned
and stared directly into O'Rourke's
eyes. For a full minute he gave him
look for look, dark eyes steadfast and
