BODY BROKE OUT IN Rash
or yourself.

r. F. d., Box 92, Thornton, R. l.
when my little girl was two menths
old she had erythema or tooth rash.
The lower part of her body broke out
in rash which started in the form of
small pimples. In a day or so the
pimples formed white head which
broke causing a watery discharge to
run from it. In a week the baby's
body from her waist to her feet look
ed as if it had been burned, being COW
cred with large blisters which broke
open leaving the flesh exposed and
causing the child intense suffering.
Il had an ointment to use on her
every two hours. 1t did not co her
any good, in fact she seemed to get
worse and she suffered dreadfully.
Some one told me they had never seen
such a bad case on any child. She
could not sleep and cried continually.
She continued to suffer for five weeks,
the blisters spreading all the time.
Then 1 tried Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment and in two weeks she
was completely cured l have used

Evidently the Indians were so trou-
blesome as to interrupt all traffic with
Santa Fe and the more western forts.
The slowness of their progress was
on account of the General, whose con-
dition became worse in spite of Fair
bain's assiduous attentions. With no
medicine the doctor could do but little
to relieve the sufferings of the older
man, although he declared that his
illness was not serious one, and
would yield quickly to proper medical
treatment They constructed a rude

and securely strapped him thereon,
one man leading the horse, while the
doctor tramped behind.
Keith, fretting more and more over
this necessary delay, and now OBJ
sessed with the thought that Hawley
must have rejoinedl his party on the
Arkansas and gone south with them,
finally broke away from the others
and rode ahead, to gather together the
necessary horses and supplies in adj
vance of their arrival. He could not
drive from his mind the remembrance
of the gamblers attempted familiarity
with Hope, when he had her, as he
then supposed, safe In his power once
before In that lonely cabin on the Salt

who gladly allied themselves with his
party, looking forward to the posi-
bilities of fight with keen anticipa-
ton. Keith was more than ever de-
lighted with adding these to his outfit.
when, on the final arrival of the 9TH
ers, the extra man brought from Sher-
idan announced that he had had
enough, and was going to remain
there. No efforts made revealed any
knowledge Of Hawley's presence in
Carson City; either he had not been
there, or else his friends were very
carefully concealing the fact The ut
ter absence of any trace, however, led
Keith to believe that the gambler had
gone elsewhere-probably to Fort
Larned-for his new outfit, and this
belief left him more fully convinced
than ever of the fellows efforts to
conceal his trail
The party escorting Waite reached
the town In the evening, and in the
following gray dawn the adventures
forded the river, and mounted on fresh
horses and fully equipped, headed
forth into the sand hills. The little
company now consisted of Keith, Fair

of form had proven himself hard and

CHAPTER xxxlII.-(continued.)

BY this time Keith had reached
definite decision as to his course. If
the fugitives received a fresh relay
of horses down there somewhere, and
crossed the Arkansas, he felt positive
ty sure as to their destination. But it
would be useless pushing on after
them in the present shape Of his party

Keeling giddily in the saddle If Haw-
ley's outfit crossed the upper ford, to-
ward which they were evidently head
ing, and struck through the sand hills,
then they we're making for the refuge
of that lone cabin on Salt Fork
Should this prove true, then it was
probable the gambler had not even
yet discovered the identity of Hope.
for if he had, he would scarcely ven
ture upon taking her there, knowing
that Keith would naturally suspect
the spot But Keith would not be like
iy to personally take up the trail in
search for Christie Maclaire. 1t must
have been Hawley then who had left
the party and ridden east, and up to
that time he had not found out his
mistake. Yet if he brought out the
fresh animals the chances were that
Hopes identity would be revealed.

what they had to say. Rristoe favor
ed ciinging to the trail, even though
they must travel slowly, but Fairbain
insisted that Waite must be taken to

BY morning the General was able to
sit his saddle again, and leaving him
with Neb to follow slowly, the Others
spurred forward, discovered an outlet
through the bluff into the valley, and
crossed the Santa Fe Trail. 1t was
not easy to discover where those IN

they found evidence of a late camp IN

Man Who Scoffed.

He used to scott at women,
Called them foolish, brainless things
Who would sell their souls for dresses
Or for necklaces or rings.
He scorned them for their efforts
To be beautiful and sweet,
But there CHANGED to be a woman
Fate had destined him to meet.
She was neither good nor lovely,
Though he fondly thought her so;
She was mostly artificial,
But, poor, fool, he didn't know!
Today men look in pity
On the man who used to scoff,
And wonder what will happen
When the mask
falls
off.
