he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form. and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but It did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say 1t hurt We hardly knew him.
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
Tho next morning l made . strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in she warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
tho cloth on them. After l had his
face washed. put the Cutcura Oint-
ment on and in . short time his little
face was all red and dry. kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the

Mallory jumped as II he had been

left 'em in the taxicab!"
The porter cast his hands up, and
walked away from the tragedy. Mar
jorie stared at Mallory in horror.
I'VE had SO little time to catch the

leaped to her feet: I'm going up IN

For the dog?"
For my trunk"
And now Mallory annihilated her
completely. for he gasped: Our
trunks are on the train ahead!"
Marjorie fell back for one moment.
then bounded to her feet with shriil
commands: Porter! Porter! want
you to stop this train this minute!"
The porter called back from the
depths of q berth: This train don't
stop till tomorrow noon."
Marjorie had strength enough for
only one vain protest: DO you mean
to say that I've got to go to San Fran
