Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You Fan have a clear.
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store FOR Csc, or

Zemo generally removes pimples. black
heads. blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid. neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trifle for each application. It is
always dependable.

CHAPTER ~.
"The O'ReiIIy."

Age and easy living had caused Don
Mario de CastanO. the sugar merchant,
to take on weight. He had. In truth,
become so fat that he waddled like a
penguin when he walked; and when he
toria gave up in despair.
In disposition Don Mario was prac-
tical and unromantic; he boosted that
: he had never had an illusion. never an
interest outside of his business. And
yet, on the day. this story opens, this
prosaic parsonage. in spite of his bulg-
ing waistband and his taut neskband.
In spite of his short breath and his
prickly heat, was In a very whlrl of
pleasurable excitement. Don Mario, In
fact, suffered the greatest of all illu-
sions: he was in love, and he believed
himself beloved. The object of his
alteration was little Rosa varona. the
daughter of his One-time friend Este
ban. To be sure, he had met Rosa only
twice since her return from her Yankee
school, but twice had been enough !;
with prompt decision he had resolved
to do her the honor of making her his
wife.
Notwithstanding the rivulets of per-
spiration that were coursIng down
every fold of his flesh, and regardless
of the fact that the body of his victoria
was tipped at drunken angle, as If
struggling to escape the burdens of his
great weight, Don Mario felt jaunti-
ness of body and of spirit almost like
that of youth. He saw himself as n
splendid prince riding toward the
humble home of some obscure maiden

of his sufferings.
Some time during the afternoon the
negro heard himself addressed through
the window against the bars of which
he leaned. The speaker was Donna
Isabel.
"Do you suffer. Sebastian?" she be-
gan in IA tone of gentleness and pity.
"Yes, Mistress" The speakers
tongue was thick and swollen.
"Can help your"
