BREAKING OUT ON LEG

began to notice breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until it formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
ribie and almost constant. Many
nights l could not sleep at ALL After
scratching it to relieve the itching it
would burn so dreadfully that |
thought could not stand It. For near
ly. year l tried all kinds of salves
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make It worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.

Christine kept hers on. And. when
Raoul was about TO ask her to remove
it. he was surprised to see her put her
ear to the partition and listen eagerly
for sound outside. Then she opened
the door ajar, looked out into the cor
ridor and, in low voice, said:
He must have gone up higher.
Suddenly she exclaimed: He is com

She tried to close the door, but
Raoul prevented her; for he had seen,
on the top step of the staircase that

He burst into a mad laugh while
Christine gave a disconsolate moan
behind her velvet mask With tragic
gesture, she flung out her two arms,
which fixed a barrier of white flesh
against the door.
I'm the name of our love, Raoul,
