HEAD ITCHED AND BURNED

Burns, Wyo-"The trouble began on my baby when she was about four months old. A red pimple was seen It first and 1t grew larger and larger all the time on the. back of her head. It looked scabby and it ftched and burned and she began to scratch it and scratched until 1t would bleed. Sometimes she could not sleep and felt pretty cross.
 ''The trouble lasted till she was . year old and saw an advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. so I sent for some. First I washed the sore part with the Cuticura Soap and then applied the Cuticura Ointment and left it on for a while, then washed it again with the Cuticura Soap.

 T certainly have, countess; indeed. I am well endowed in that respect
 Haven't you felt happier since came to share your solitude?"
 He looked at her with those bold, penetrating gray eyes for long time.
 Countess, admire you, and you are the pleasantest comrade that ever had, but am troubled. The con tinuous indoor life is beginning to tell on me. I am used to much exercise in the open air, and have many things that am worried about" A few days later Captain Euler told the prisoners that they would be al- lowed to spend the evenings on the roof of the building. The countess watched Chevalier di Leon's face very closely when the cap tain told them this and saw the gleam of real pleasure in his eyes. That evening they were taken to the roof of the, building; to be accu- rate, to a section of the roof which was surrounded by a high wall, so high that 1t prevented them from see ing the courtyard beneath. or anything but the stars and the pale face of the full moon.

 "No, I never have" "Chevalier, will you tell me one thing-frankly, honestly?" Her voice was tender and soft.
 Anything you ask, countess"
 Are you engaged to be married?" 'I am not" The firmness of his | voice was enough to assure the count ess that he told the truth. Are you in love?"
 "In love?" he repeated thoughtfully. 'I don't know; all I know is that have an image, saint enshrined in my heart, of whom I think, for whose welfare am fighting and suffering. If that is love, then am in love-" The countess sighed, a sob broke from her heaving bosom and she let her shoulder lean heavily against him; she buried her face in his shoulder and the tears trickled down her soft cheeks as she sighed:' | 'T am so very, very unhappy" The chevalier bent his head over her and his eyes became dark for . | second; then he folded her in his arms and their lips met in kiss
 The spell was short; the next mo- ment the countess stood up and the chevalier picked her up and placed ] her on the bench again, as if she were | a little child; then he turned and ran | down the stairs to his prison. >

 America had been isolated from the rest of the world by the use of Z-rays. won j. derful invention of Hannibal Prudent. The invention had saved the country from foreign invasion. and the continent had been united under one government with Prudent as president. For half a century peace and prosperity reigned In this part of the world. The story opens with President Prudent critically H. His death is hastened by the receipt of 2 Germany that he has at last succeeded In penetrating the rays. Dying, he warns his daughter Astra that this means for eign invasion. He tells her to hurry to the Island of Cirynith, but dies before he can tell the location of the place. Astra is nominated for the presidency by the continental party.

CHAPTER vll.-Continued.
 The chevalier suggested walk in the open air, but the captain shook his head. T am sorry to disappoint you, my dear chevalier, but your ter such kindness that 1t was plain to the chevalier that he was sorry for the , imprisonment
 For two long months the Captain Hans Euler kept faithful company to the chevalier.
 There no chance to escape from this prison; not even a chance to look put at the ocean. The Chevalier di Leon soon realized that he could not escape and knew that all he could do was to wait.
 The personal belongings that he had left in the room at the Hotel Metropole were brought to him, and great was his satisfaction when he saw that nothing had been forgotten.
 Papers from Berlin and England were in the reading-room and he wes Informed of the doings of the world.
 On the 9th of Fesruary the chancel- f tor .strode into the reading-room where the chevalier was comfortably read ing a novel by the English writer, Sir Rider Haggard, that had been pub r iished about 1920.

 The answer came as a flash, but calm and sarcastic:

 The chancellor was offended; the young man dared to play with him, the iron handed master.
 Your jokes are out of place; you are a clever man, but I will have to ask my question again Will you answer ft?"

 Their eyes clashed like the cold steel of two swords.

Il know why so many Of the members of your bridge
club are ILL.,, said the Professor. "With every card
you deal you passing from one to another the
germs of grip, pneumonia and other diseases"
Dr. Rappin called to little French village to in
vestigate the mysterious death of fifteen guests at
wedding feast BY Analysing the blood Of the victims
he succeeded In solang the microbe which science had
known before.
The hypertoSicus is microbe which presents itself
III various forms and sizes. 1t Is Of peculiar blush
color and Is remarkably vruent. 1t will cause tho
death of guinea pigs within less than twelve hours
after the Injection of very slight Dose For some un
planned reason mice practically immune from It.
The disease which the hypertoxicus causes Shows
itself in human beings within eight hours after
taking the microbe into the system The first symptoms
very similar to those OF ptomane poisoning-vio
lent collie, high fever and generally alarming condJ
ton These persist for several days and death
it is preceded by bladder trouble other con,pl-
cations.
Specimens of the hyperoxicus were found in cusards
and other dishes which had been served the wedding
feast 1t doubtless in them that all the trouble
originated.

attempt to answer them contends that the mere
fact of mans helpless dependence upon his

bed, and often his life Itself. How natural, IL

How FLIES Garry Germs for MILES

r TOW far can flies, mosquitoes

a Il scots carry the germs which
make them so much dreaded? 1t
used to be thought that their activi-
ties were limited TO radius of few
hundred feet from their breeding
places and that even a high wind
would never watt them more than a
mile or SO away.
The experts in charge OF Cleye-
lands anti-fy campaign, however,
have discovered evidence to prove
that flies are carried by the wind
over water for six miles, and 1t
seems reasonable to suppose that
over land the length of their flight
might be greatly extended. This
discovery was made In curious
way-through the request for some
means Of relief from the plague Of
flies which infest the cribs of the
waterworks, six miles out In Lake
Erie, north of the city.
The presence Of flies in this iso.

passing steamers or to conditions

nothing in which flies of any kind

An important discovery which places of the most
troublesome forms of rheumatism in an entirely new
light announced by DR.. h Warren Grove an English
physician.
Some time ago Dr. Grove found in sufferers from
that variety of rheumatism which manifests itself In

IL Is also pointed out that some of the finest

A FRENCH physician, Dr. Hugonecq, of Lyons, has
IN surprised the scientific world by advancing the
theory that the best food for mankind is man.

when plentfully supplied with the human flesh which
they prefer, they have all the appearance of sufferers

which they dine are usually muscular warriors whose

nourishment which Is quite evident in this diet.

mile OF the crib. but none OF the men

flies coming from them. All the

them away.
The only explanation seems TO be
That the flies are blown at least six
miles off shore, and that they gather
