The trial at Crakow OF a Polish ad-
vocate named Steinfeld who has come
to grief through gambling has been
the occasion of some curious revela-
tions about the hold which this vice
has on business men In Austrian Po-
land.
DR.. Steinfeld's wife In her endeavor
to keep her husband out Of temptation
tried the plan of never leaving him
out Of her sight even when he went
to his office. The lawyer then made
a practice of going to bed early and
rising at 4 In the morning before his
wife was awake In order to hurry OF
to the so-called Monte Carlo" at
Crakow, which he would find still In
full swing at that hour. When stay
ing at hotels during the summer he
would arrange meetings with other
card players In the bathroom an play
there for hours. while he told his wife
that he was taking a cold water cure.

RINGWORM ON CHILD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa.-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringworm on the face. First 1t was in
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger. about the size
OF a birds egg. They had white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf.
fered terrible itching and burning, so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles Of liniment
but nothing helped.
Il saw where a child had a rash on
the face and was cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and I decided to
use them. l used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about one month. and they
cured my child completely" (Signed)

The next day he saw her at the
opera. She was still wearing the
plain gold ring. She was gentle and
kind to him She talked to him oil
the plans which he was forming. oil
his future, of his career.
He told her that the date OF the
Polar expedition had been put forward
and that he would leave France In
three weeks, or a month at least.
She suggested, almost gaily. that he
must look upon the voyage with de-
light, as stage toward his coming
fame And when he replied that
fame without love was no attraction
in his eyes. she treated him as child
whose sorrows we're only short-lived.
How can you speak so lightly OF
such serious things?" he asked. Per
haps we shall never see each other
again! may die during that expedi'
ton"
"Or l." she said simply.
She no longer smiled or tested. She
seemed to be thinking OF some new
thing that had entered her mind for
the first time. Her eyes were all
aglow with it.
What are you thinking OF. Chris
tine?"
II am thinking that We shall not
see each other again :"
And does that make you 80 radi

And that, in a month, We shall
have to say good-by for ever!'
Unless, Christine. We pledge our
faith and wait for each other for
ever
She put her hand on his mouth.
Hush, Raoul! You know
there Is no question OF that
And we shall never be married: that
Is understood"
She seemed suddenly almost unable
to contain an overpowering gaiety
She clapped her hands with childish
glee. Raoul stared ct her In amaze
