UNTOLD AGONY WITH ECZEMA

ITO N. 18th st., Portland, Ore
1.-THE eczema which started about two
years ago, broke out in my wrists,
then spread to my fingers. suffered
untold agony with them until l began
to use Cuticura Remedies. 1t would
appear in little pimples or blisters
like. and when l scratched them, they
would appear in little scales. The
itching would be so bad that could
hardly sleep Of nights. would scratch
my hands until they were most numb.
then when the blood would course
through them again the burning and
smarting would be SO bad that I could
hardly stand 1t. and I got to be so
easily irritated that my husband had
to use all of his patience to get along
with me.
II believe had tried Just about
every remedy offered to the public for
such diseases. without any relief what
soever, until my mother recommended

Mountain. and gone about enjoyment

rich man. But not so this blood.
brewed In its sun-vat by the Mediter-
ranean.
All this was related In minutest de-
tail by the servant Pietro to Ran
dolph Mason. The occasion for 1t was
the finding Of the Virgin Of the Noun
tain. Not by the Marquis Mazaccra
nor the host of Italian servants in
New York. all commissioned by the
authority on the East side to search,
but by accident. An Italian paper
hanger. sent to help with the interior
decoration of a house on East Forty
eighth street. had discovered the
painting rolled up in a closet of a
room on the second floor whose door
he had opened to hnd place for his
paste pots. The house belonged to
Tolman Perkins, retired iron manu-
facturer This man, like all those
who, having got fortune by middle
life and having come to New York
to enjoy 1t. had found inactivity un-
bearable. and had gone wandering
over the earth. He was about to re-
turn from three years. sauntering
through the Japanese east, and the
caretakers were getting the house In
order for him.
The fame OF Randolph Mason had
been carried by Pietro into the king
dom of New Italy. The authority
there wished to know how the pic
ture might be recovered and adequate
vengeance visited on Tolman Perkins
lietro laid the matter before Ran
dolph Mason one night after dinner
Randolph Mason bade Pietro sit
down in chair before him, and he
explained with great patience the
avenues of redress. A suit could be
Instituted in the circuit court of the
United States by this Mazaccra, q
subject of King Victor Emanuel the
Third Of Italy. against Tolman Per-
kins. to secure the painting and ade-
quate damages. The picture could be
taken, meanwhile into the custody of
the court by proper writ. This was
the direct legal plan available in such
a case. and to be advised. II this
authority on the East side preferred
not to go with such matter into the
courts. then he would give 1t a plan
by which the matter could be adjust
ed without the running OF any risk.
But hrst. Pietro should go back to
New Italy. state exactly what Ran
dolph Mason had said. and learn
which Of the two plans the authority
there preferred to follow.
But, in the meantime, the Marquis
Mazaccra had elected to follow his
own plan. Taking the place of the
Italian paper hanger who had found
the picture Of the Virgin Of the
Mountain. and disguised as that
workman, he went on the day follow

ing the discovery to the house on
Forty eighth street and brought the
painting away with him inclosed in
roll of burlap.
Pietro reported to Randolph Mason
that the stolen picture had been thus
recovered and that the authority Of
New Italy now considered the matter
ended.
The Marquis Mazaccra. however,
did not consider 1t thus ended. The
score with Tolman Perkins remained
yet to be settled. The Latin mind
was not accustomed to the idea OF
punitive damages at law for an In
Jury.
On a certain Sunday morning. a
few days after the recovery Of the
picture of the Virgin Of the Noun
tain, New York was astonished by a
homicide belonging, in its deliberate.
cruel and theatric details, to some
inquisitorial era. Mr.. Tolman Per.
kins, a bachelor, was found by his
valet at seven o'clock on this Sunday
morning, in the library of his house
on Forty-eighth street in dying
condition.
Mr.. Perkins. insensible from loss
of blood, was taken Immediately to
hospital and a saline solution in
jected into his veins. He revived a
little and attempted to talk, but was
unable to do so. A pencil was put
into his fingers and he was asked to
write the name Of the person who had
attacked him. Finally, after repeated
efforts. he wrote the following words

long enough to tell who had killed
