UNTOLD AGONY WITH ECZEMA

40 N. 18th St., Portland. Ore
1.-THE eczema which started about two
years ago. broke out in my wrists.
then spread to my fingers. 1 suffered
untold agony with them until I began
to use Cuticura Remedies. 1t would
appear in little pimples or blisters
like, and when 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 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 1 had tried Just about
every remedy offered to the public for
such diseases, without any relief what
soever. until my mother recommended
Cuticura Remedies to me. only
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment once when my cure began.
and in a month of use 1t was gone en-

CHAPTER XVIII.
Tho splrl. Of The AneIen. Wood.

The Spirit Of the Ancient Wood.
Agatha's first thought on awakening
late in the forenoon. was the memory
of Sallie Kingsbury coaxing her to
bed and tucking her in. in the purple
light of the early morning. She re-
membered the attention with pleasure
and gratitude. as another blessing
added to the greater one of James
Hambleton's turn toward recovery.
Sallie's act was mute testimony that
Agatha was. In truth, heir to Hercu-
les Thayer's estate. spiritual and mate
rial.
She summoned Lizzie, and while she
was dressing. laid out directions for
the day. During her short stay In
Ilion, Lizzie had been diligent enough
in gathering items Of information. but
nevertheless she had remained oblivi-
GUS of any impending crisis during the
night. Her pompadour was marcelled
as accurately as II she were expect
ing a morning call from Mr.. straker.
No rustlings Of the wings OF the
Angel OF Death had disturbed her
sleep. In fact. Lizzie would have
winked knowingly II his visit had
been announced to her. Her sophisti-
cation had banished such supersti-
tions. She noticed. however. that
Agatha's candles had burned to their
sockets. and inquired II Miss Red
mond had been wakeful.
"Mr. Hambleton was very Ill. Every
body in the house was up till near
morning." replied Agatha rather
tartly.
"oh, what a pity! Could have
done anything? never heard a
sound" cried Lizzie effusively.
mo. there was nothing you could
have done." said Agatha.
ITS very bad for your voice. Miss
Redmond. staying up all night" went
On Lizzie solicitously. You're quite
pale this morning. And with your
western tour ahead of you'll"
Agatha let these adjurations go un-
answered. 1t occurred to Lizzie that
possibly she had allied herself with a
mistress who was foolish enough to
ruin her public career by private fol-
lies. such as worrying about sick peo-
pie. Heaven, In Lixzie's eyes. was the
glare Of publicity; and since she was
unable TO shine In 1t herself, she loved
to be attached to somebody who could.
Her fidelity was based on Agatha's
celebrity as singer. She would have
preferred serving an actress who was
all the rage. but considered a popular
singer. who paid literally. as the next
best thing.
There was always enough common
sense in Iizzie'a remarks to make
come impression, even on a person
capable of the folly of mourning at a
death-bed. Agathe's spirits, freshened
by hope and the sleep of health. rose
to a buoyancy which was well able to
deal with practical questions. She
quickly formed a plan for the day
though she was wise enough to with
hold the scheme from the maid.
Agatha drank her coffee. ate spar
ingly of Sallie's toast. and. leaving
Lizzie with n piece of sewing to do,
went first to James Hambleton's room.

"You had better come for a few

ion to faith and fortitude.
"Yes. will come" said Agatha.
They walked together down the dimly
lighted hall. each woman in her own
vay proving how strong and efficient
's the discipline of self-control.
In the sick-room screen shaded
the light from the bed, which had been
pulled out almost into the middle of
the room. Near the bed was table

Doctor Thayer's massive figure was in
the shadow close to the bed. and
Aleck Van Camp leaned over the
curved footboard. James lay on his
pillow. a ghost OF a man, still as death
itself. As Agatha grew accustomed to
the light, she saw that his eyes were
closed. the lips under the ragged
beard we're drawn and slightly part

head of death-in-life. Neither the doc
tor nor Aleck moved or turned their
gaze from the bed as Agatha and Mrs

! aud the profound silence without was
as mighty reservoir for the silence

Agatha stood by the footboard be-

which embodies some of the features of
the rest and in some respects differs. All
these plans are before the President, and
he is trying to reconcile them with his own
ideas and at the same time bring the DIFF
ferent leaders togc.t.er on a single propo-
sition which will insure practically solid
support from The party, and at the same
time inspire confidence on the part of the
financial interests OF the country.
There are evidences galore that there
are wide differences of opinion on the
currency legislation, and it is agreed that
nothing but the influence of the President
will accomplish agreement on any one bill
1t is a far greater task for him to get the
party In unison on currency than it was
on the tariff In point of fact. there are
many members of Congress openly op-
posed to taking up the currency at all anl
1t takes all of the diplomacy of Mr. I'm
derwood to hold the House in line on this
programme.
Willing to Spend Summer
But the President firmly believes that In
view of the putting into effect of the tariff
that currency legislation is absolutely
necessary. and he has announced that he
is willing to spend the summer in WASH
ington In order that something may be
done, and almosc everybody agrees with
him that the passage of a currency law
means spending the entire summer in
Washington and large part OF the fall.
and the prospect as not pleasant to some
of them. hence quite. few are peeved
over the situation.
The House. however, will have a COM
paratively easy time OF 1t. They Will
probably finish the currency bill about the
time the Senate passes the tariff. and
then. having completed their legislative
programme they will only have to mark
time while the Senate continues to per-
spire in its ponderous way with the cur
rency. In the meantime there are sew
eral senator's ike Senator Johnston, who
have an election on their hands. and un-
like him they are worrying some. and It is
going to be hard to hold them in WASH
ington when they know that they have
active opponents n the field with designs
on their togas.
