ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

Pierson, n. Dakota-'The eczema
started on my scalp. 1t finally went
on to the back Of my neck, then on to
my back, arms and chest. 1t broke
out in pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max
ing sore about the size of dime.
At times the itching and burning were
so intense that it seemed unbearable.
The more I scratched it the worse &
became, and there would be a slight
discharge from it, especially on my
scalp, so as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry, lifeless and thin. My
hair was falling SO terribly that had
begun to despair of ever finding re-
lief. My clothing irritated the erup-
ton on my back. The affected parts
were almost a solid scab.
81 had been bothered with eczema
for about year and half. Then 1
began using the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I used them daily for two
months and I was cured" (SigneO

the stopped-up, lifeless kidneys so
they can filter and sift all the poisons
from the blood, and drive Il out of
the system.
So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses a
day for few days are often all that
is required to end the worst backache,
regulate the mott annoying bladder
disorders, and overcome the numerous
other similar conditions.
Croxone is so prepared that it is
practically impossible to take it with
out results.
An original package costs but a tri-

BILE leakage the commandant of Paris
had got wind of part of the affair and,
believing that the police were about
to arrest a notorious band of crimi-
nails, had resolved to anticipate them
and obtain the credit for the army.
The denouement was equally calami-
tous for both parties.
Paul sized up the situation before
Tresham could put his wits together.
The kings still clustered at the en-
trance to the dining-room; the officer
was still fumbling with his papers.
He sprang from behind the curtain
and seized the kaiser by the arm,
dashed back with him into the dining
room and ran to sliding panel be-
hind the big fireplace, remnant of
the stirring days of the thirties, when
the last Bourbon reigned on his un-
easy throne and conspiracy was rife
in Paris. He pushed it back, disclos-
ing narrow fAght of stairs. At the
head he hesitated The woman Jour

turned he uttered an exclamation of
surprise, for there stood she beside
them, her eyes alight with eagerness,
and the great STORY" Of the year half
written in her brain. Miss Nancy
Shand was always on the spot when
news was in the making.
Motioning to both to precede him,
Paul pulled back the sliding panel
into position just as the lieutenant, be-
coming aware of the flight of some
members of the party, dashed into the
dining-room-to see only the furni-
ture and the walls.
Black darkness confronted them,
but Paul had learned the way before
that night. He urged his charges down
the narrow stairs until they found

ing.
And here is the dilemma that
confronted Paul as he strolled
free man, through the streets
of Paris. He had accomplished
his end; he had bottled up
literally, almost--the kaiser and that
babbling reporter. If he left them for
four and twenty hours war would
break out and his enterprise succeed.
But then-the thought came to him
with hideous meaning as he ap-
preached the door of his residence
he had left the cork in the bung-hole
of the barrel in which Miss Nancy
lay! That meant suffocation-she
must be sitting now. He could not
take her life; no, not though his
hearts desires were to be attained
only in such a way.
He must release her. To uncork the
barrel would mean that her screams
would bring aid to her. He must free
her-and so the kaiser, too. The fate
of Europe rested with this obscure
Yankee girl, buried inside tun 1t
has hung on more trivial things.
1t was midnight when Paul got back
to Gabriels, and the frightened pro-
prietor stared at him as he entered,
and throwing up his hands, vanished
like an apoplectic angel into the re-
cesses of his house. Paul entered the
wine cellar, and, as he passed through
the door, cried loudly in dismay.
There was not tun or barrel in the
place. He saw bare cellar, with
bare, whitewashed walls and the
marks of muddy shoes around the en-
trance-no more. He ran back at full
speed and hammered upon the door

And Miss Shand smiled

shouted.
Your majesty, time is very pre-
cious," said Paul, and led the kaiser
! toward the tun. IF you will deign to
place your royal foot in my hand" he
said. And a moment later the kaiser
had crawled inside. Place your lips
against the bunghole, to get the all"
said Paul, and fitted on the head.
Fixed as it was, it could be dislodged
only from the outside. He turned to
the American girl. Now, Miss
Nancy" he said.
This was proposition entirely new.
You want me-me-to go inside
| that tun!" exclaimed Miss Shand in
dignantly.
Paul nodded and approached her.
Il won't!" Miss Nancy cried, stamp
ing her foot Indignantly. How dare
you!-Oh! Monster"
Paul calmly seized her round the
waist anu drew ueI toward the Lun.
She screamed. Overhead the tramp
ling of feet was heard, voices came
family to their ears. Then Paul Lane
quietly deposited Miss Shand inside
the vacant tun adjoining royal Ger
many.
He placed his lips to the bunghole
Il shall have to cork you up, mad
am" he said, "since you persist in
screaming But don't be alarmed. In
five minutes you shall be free to
breathe through the bung-hole once
more"
He placed the cork in place as the
soldiers ran down the stairs and came
bursting into the room

officer in charge. Where are the rest
of you? Why-it's the waiter!"
Indeed Paul Lane looked the charac-
ter to perfection at that moment as he
flung himself at the officers feet.

Value of a LAWYERS Talk.

A young lawyer was defending an
old convict on the charge of burglary
In a state where the court rules allow
each side one hour to address the
jury. The young lawyer, somewhat
nervous, consulted veteran member
of the bar who happened to be stand
ing near. "How much time do you
think I should take up in addressing
the jury?" he asked in rather pomp-
Gus manner. Take the full hour"
was the gruff reply. 'The full hour?
Why, l intended to take only Is min
utes." Take the full hour" repeated
the old lawyer. "But why?" BE

From somewhere, very far away,
the very faintest knocking came, and
the faintest of cries. Paul Lane seized
the lieutenant by the arm.

Thus it came about that their maj
estes of Sweden, Norway, Greece and
Roumania made their appearance in
the central police station of Paris.
And in a short while they were re-
leased with the most abject apologies.
The secret was kept, for, by a miracle
of luck, there were no reporters pres
ent.
But when the news was telegraphed
! in several ciphers to the capitals of
Europe that same night and no word
came of the kaiser, it is reported that

the situation. He ran toward the door,
followed by the rest. They were too
late. Advancing toward them came a
file of six infantrymen. headed by a
young lieutenant, who stopped six
PAGES distant and motioned them
back.
Gentlemen" he said. you are un-

The sovereigns looked at one anoth-
er aghast. Arrest in Paris was no
joke, even though the charges must
fall and their release be effected i'm
mediately after they had reached the
station house and held confidential
discussion with the sergeant in charge.
But the kaiser-the kaiser, arrested in
Paris!
But the monarchs' dismay was fully
equaled by that of Paul, who, still at
tired in walters garb, fingered by the
curtain. So far he had fulfilled his in
structions admirably. 1t was neces-
sary, as Lord Tresham had said, that
the kaiser should be detained in
France, while Peter and Nicholas of
Montenegro carried out their schemes
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT. With this object
in view he had arranged for the kid

and their temporary transference to a

Advice to Lovers,

Some one has given the following
advice to bashful young men who wish
to propose to their sweethearts: First
select your night, then when you are
seated in her parlor, you on one side
of the room and she on the other, just
hitch your chair toward her and she
will hitch toward you until you can
not get any hitcher. Then slip your
arm round her waist and say, "Wilt
thou?" and she wilt every time.
