(Conc'udeJ)
If he had beeu less impatient there
would have beeu no trouble. Dr. Bland
Qlil_not understand the effect which a
brokeu hoart sometimes produces upon
the body. Mr. Ackermaun died before
the winter was over. Jack Ralston
en ice home as soon as he heard the
news, but Miss Ackermaun had gone to
the city with a cousin of her mother
and was obdurate. Her tllial affection
found satisfaction In refusing to for
give the lover who R?d desired her fa
ther's death. She would not even see
him, aud so the affair ended.
Well, It was too late now, aud she
was a fool to be dreaming of it. The
seruion was ended, and the .nusic of
the organ roused her to the conscious
nans of things present and to come.
She took part with the congregation in
th*? rest of the service and then hur
ried home to make a hasty toilet for
dinner. ?
There was only a quiet family gath
t-rlng. The fiance of the oldest daugh
ter. a traveling salesman In the em
ploy of a wholesale house, was the
life of the party. He was considered
a very bright young man and a good
talker. He was at his best today and
kept them all amused with stories of
his travels, so that Miss Ackermann
bad only to listen with a semblance of
Interest.
"By the way, Miss Ackermann." ha
?aid presently, "I met an old friend of
yours on this last trip. Ralston was
the name? J. W. Ralston. It was In
Idaho, Boise City. He Is doing well
iu mines out there and is quite chum
lay with one of my best customers,
who has some money in his business.
The two were together at my rooms In
the hotel, and he saw Mln's picture on
the bureau. I always carry it around
to keep me out of temptation? guard
luu augel business, you know. Min
imi he saw it. You know people say
you two look alike, and the likeness
comes out strong In that photo. It
ftrnckjilm all ofji bean. 'Excuse me,'
ho sald7 'but wllf you" tell* n?T whose
picture that Is? It tooks very much
like souie one I knew ten yeara ago.'
** 'Certainly,' said I. That la my
best girl. Sbe la thought rery moeh
like a lady who Jlvea In the same
hoase, MJss Ackeraann. froofNeW Jer
sey." Well, It turned oat to bit the
very same. He asked lota of qtwttoca
about you. especially whether jtra wtra
married I gave yon a good character,
and I gueaa you'll be bearing from him
before long. Roea aaya he la a bache
lor."
Miss Ackermann controlled herself
sufficiently to smile. "Thank you, we
were friends and neighbors when I
was a girl," she replied, and In a mo
ment more they were all laughing at a
; comical anecdote which the drummer
was telling In his beat style. It was
no wonder be sold goods.
When the dinner waa over the hoet
eas excused herself soon upon the plea
i of domestic duties, leaving Mlaa Acker
mann with the young people. ' Bo,
knowing herself In the way, ahe lin
gered but a few minutes. Back In her
room she gave way and took refuge In
that last solace of her sex, V good cry.
Iler overwrought nerves demanded re
lief and would not be denied.
Sbe was still huddled, a disconsolate
heap, on the lounge when there came
a tap at the door which she recognised
as th::t of her little friend. She aat
up and hurriedly straightened her hair,
trusting that In the dim light of the
fast falling twilight the child would
notice nothing amiss, sharp as she was.
"Come In." she called as the knock
was repeated.
"Here's a gentleman to see you." the
child said, with the air of a person
who confers h favor. "He says he la
au old fitend. so I brought him right
up." Miss Ackermann remembered
that. It being Christmas day. the maid
would be oiit and that consequently
' he little girl would answer the door.
"Tha!iK you." she said, "you may
go." 'li'Oii she found herself face to
i"uce w liu a broazed uud bearded man
wh >se eyes culy were fcmlllar.
"Vyell. Vunle." he sate in a voice she
know so well, "here 1 i.m onee more."
She Lold out both hands with an
eager gesture. "Ob. Jack, Jack!" sbe
cried.
A moment more and she was sob
blng on his shoulder while his arms
held her as though they would never
!of go.

BABY'S ML
ITCHING ECZEMA
Sores All Over Face and Body ?
Could Not Tell What She Looked

Worse Under Doctors.
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN ONE MONTH
A grateful mother, in the following
letter, tells of another of those mar
velous cures by Cuticura: "When
my baby was four months old her
skin broke out with a humor. I took
her to a doctor, who said it was
eczema. He gave me medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and body
were so covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell
off. Then it itched so she could not
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, first
bathing her in warm water with the
Soap, and then spreading on the Oint
ment with soft cloths. I saw a change
in a week. The sores began to heal,
and she could sleep at night, and in
one month she had not one sore on
her face or body. Any mother hav
ing children with eczema or humors
will find a friend in Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, (signed) Mrs. Mary
Sanders, 709 Spring St., Camden, N. J.,
Aug. 14, 1904."
The foregoing statement justifies
the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment afford instant
relief, and permit sleep for baby and
reBt for tired mothers, and points to
a speedy, permanent, and economical
cure, when all else fails, in the most
torturing, disfiguring, itching, burn
ing, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and
pimply skin, and scalp humors.
