clement Linda watched him with
growing curiosity. He was different
from any man she had ever met be-
fore. Who was he?
The answer came like a flash. He
must be the owner of Hillcrest-the
handsome stranger was none other
than Joshua Hill, the millionaire.
Linda's color rose and her heart
beats grew faster. Now that he was
there, 1t was her duty to lay before
him the situation in Crestville and to
point out to him that it was his obi
cation as a great landowner to pro-
vide work of some sort for his poorer
neighbors.
To speak to an utter stranger upon

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-mOnths-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimpIes and in two or
three hours time spread to the size of

Then water would run from the pim-
pies and wherever that touched IT caus-

cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretfuI. She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
