eyes were fixed on the speaker"
The delinquent was hailed before

detectives. That she was buying
goods such as young woman would
buy who intended to be married soon
was a settled fact.
Weeks went by and finally it was
discovered that Maude had received
letters from distant places. The case
became so interesting to the detec-
tives that the shrewdest men were on
the job and even w. G. Baldwin
made frequent visits to the neighbor-
hood.
Father Consents to Visit.
It was a settled fact with the de-
tectives that Maude and Wesley were
in communication and that they in
tended to get married, but as to when
and where not the least clue could be
found.
Ten days ago Maude began to ex-
press a desire to visit friends at High
Point, a town in this State and a
hundred miles from where she lives.
Her father kindly consented to allow
her to spend a week with her friend,
and in some way the detectives found
out the very day she was to leave
home for the visit. Her father
brought her to the railroad station
at Mt. Airy and she bought her tick
ct for her supposed destination.
Little did she know that three de-
tectives, the best and bravest of the
force, had joined her soon after she
left this town.
When once she was in the city
where her lover had in some way di-
rected her to come, the capture was
easy. She met her lover and thus
gave him away to the officers without
the least thought of being the instru-
ment in the hands of the law by
which he was to be brought to JUS
tice.

CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Four years ago had places break out on
my wrist and on my shin which would itch
, and burn by spells. would scratch those
places until they would bleed before could
get any relief Afterwards the places would
scale over, and the flesh underneath would
lool, red and feverish. Sometimes it would
begin to itch until it would waken me from
my sleep, and | would have TO go through
the scratching ordeal again. Our physician
pronounced it dry eczema l used az:
ointment which the doctor gave nlts, but it
did no good Then he advised me to try the
CuticaIra Remedies. I got the Cuticura
Soap Ointment and Pills, and they seemed
TO be lust what ] needed. The disease was
making great headway on my system until
I got the Cutieura Remedies which have
cleared my skin. From the time the eczema
healed four years ago until now, have never
felt any OF its pest. always use the Cutieura
Soap for toilet, and hope other sufferers
from skin diseases win use the Cutieura Soap
and Ointment" (Signed) lrven Hutchison,
