a INVALID’S SAD PLIGHT. After Inflammatory Rheumatism, Hale Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed Sores Developed—Only Cuti- cura Proved Successful. “About four years ago I had a very severe attack of inflammatory rheuma- tism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out in bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor. I tried many ‘sure cures’ but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Re- solvent I had had no real relief. Then my complexion cleared and soon I felt better. The bed sores went very soon after a few applications of Cuticura Ointment, and when I used Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment for my hair it began to regain its former glossy ap- pearance. Mrs. Lavina J.

It is now possible to secure a homestead of 160 acres free and another 160 acres at $3.00 per acre. Hundreds have paid the cost of their farms (if purchased) and then had a balance of from $10.00 to $12.00 per acre from one crop. Wheat, barley, oats, flax—all do well.

(Continued.) “We have missed you very much.” “Have you, little girl?” : "A house is a one-sided sort of a place without a man in it.” “Is that so?” “It is easy to talk about the equality of the sexes and all that sort of thing. But in an emergency one man is worth a dozen women.” Clement gave a short laugh. “My dear Esther,” he said,’ you are talk- ing rank treason. If you were to give expression to such sentiments in some quarters you would be mobbed.” “I keep out of such quarters,” she answered, seriously. “I believe in women being womanly and recogniz- ing their limitations.” “It doesn’t matter very much what anybody believes respecting them,” he said, with a smile. ‘They are a law to themselves.” “You still despise them as a class?” she questioned, “T did not say so, Esther. come——” “I don’t wonder in the least,” she interrupted. “I wish it were possible for women to trust each other as men do; but the trouble with so many of them is they are not gentlemen: “Well, no!” he laughed. “You know what I mean, Clem. There are splendid exceptions, I ad- mit. And a really good woman is, I honestly believe, the noblest thing the Almighty ever made, but——” “You think the material early ran short?” he interrupted, laughingly. “J don’t know whose the blame is, she answered, walking to the fireplace and resting her elbow on the mantel- piece; “but I do wish we had the ay- erage Englishman’s sense of honor. But there, run away and get dressed, or you will be too late for dinner.” Esther dropped into he: chair again when Clement had gone and stared hard at the fire. She had been per- turbed all the afternoon. Gossip had been coupling her name with G ton’s in a most ungenerous way, Mi: Ladda, the postmistress, who had lon angled for the curate, being particu- larly venomous. To add to her irrita- tion she had heard only that afternoon that her best beloved and most trusted girl friend had flung over the man to whom she was engaged, and whom she professed to be passionately in love with, and had married a purse-proud widower with an almost grown-up son. To Esther, with her lofty sense of honor and loyalty, it seemed horrible. She could not get it out of her mind. It had haunted her all the afternoon. It seemed so heartless, so cruel, so absolutely wicked, that it produced in her a feeling that amounted almost to physical pain. She had been more hurt than any one knew when Edith Tremayne jilted her brother, and turned, for the time being, the honey of his life into worm- wood and gall. But Ada Pendower she had always believed belonged to a different type. She seemed to have heart and conscience and imagination, and that she could have trampled upon love and honor and sold herself for gold and position seemed incredible. “What will women not do? What will they not say?” she said to herself, almost bitterly. “Is it amy wonder that men despise us, even—even when they love us?” And then she rose to greet her mother, who came noiselessly into the room. “You have seen Clem, mother?” she questioned, eagerly. “Yes, Esther. He came to me at once. Isn’t it lovely to have’ him home again?” And then Wilkins an- nounced that dinner was served. That night Esther and her brother had a long talk after Mrs. Mawgan had gone to bed. She wanted to know how matters stood between him and Ma- rion West. But Clement was on his guard. He could not tell even his sister what had passed between them. He mentioned her name freely enough, told again how he discovered her, and mentioned the fact that he had seen her the pre- vious Sunday evening. Esther watched his face narrowly— every change of expression, every look fn his eyes, but she remained unen- lightened. » “Perhaps I was mistaken,” she said to herself, as she made her way up- stairs to bed. “Perhaps the fact that she is Richard West’s child prevents his liking from growing into love. Perhaps he is waiting to see how her character develops.” But that her brother had already proposed to Ma- rion and had been refused never once occurred to her. Next morning Clement mide his way directly after breakfast to Rowns- killy. He had slept little during the night, so great was his impatience to see his friend. - Grayton received himgwith a wan smile that was infinitely pathetic, but his cheerfulness had never left him. “Oh, I shall get better,” he said, slowly and feebly, as if in reply to Clement’s serious look. “Loss of blood and fever have pulled me down, but my work is not finished yet.” “Of course, it isn’t finished yet,” Clement replied, cheerfully; “though ft is rather rough on you, being shut up in a place like this.” “Oh, but I am very well looked after. I have two doctors and two Come, nurses on the job,’ and he smiled bravely. “You'll soon be out and about again,” Clement said, encouragingly. “Oh, I think so—I think so. By the by, how are your mother and your sis- ter?” “Both very well, indeed. They send kind remembrances and all good wish- es. You'll have a warm welcome at the Chase when you get better.” “fll soon get better,” and he smiled again. “Meanwhile we’ve got to find Nev- ins. Could you tell me, in as few words as possible, how everything hap- pened? I intend to start a search on my own account.” “And you saw the box?” Clement questioned, when Grayton had finished his story. “Only from a distance. It looked to me about the length and width of an ordinary cigar box, but rather deeper.” “It must be of great importance to somebody, or Nevins would not have spent so many months looking for it. m Clement spent an hour with his friend and then started on a tramp across Penry Downs. The days passed away very quickly. There was very little change in his program. An hour at least each day he spent with Grayton; the remaining portion he gave to pursuing certain metheds of his own, but nothing came of them. The idea that Nevins was hiding somewhere on the downs, or in the caves along the coast, had to be given up. The only conclusion he could come to was that Nevins got away in some luggage train, and that the chances were he would never be heard of again. Another change of name and a change of makeup, ahd he would be able to walk abroati with im- punity. The one encouraging thing in the whole sad business was that Grayton was getting steadily better, and by the time Clement had been home a week the doctors pronounced him out of danger. Clement got home later than usunl on the last day of his visit, and was a little surprised to find a strange hat and coat in the hall. His surprise was greater still when, on entering the drawing room, he came face to face with his employer. “Mr. Jackson!” he said, in a tone of surprise, “{ did not know you were visiting Cornwall so soon.” “Took it into my head a few days ago to have a run round,” was the re- ply, “and here I am. Took you at your word, you see,” and he beamed pleasantly. “J hope you have been properly looked after. Have you been here long?” “Perhaps an hour, though it doesn’t esem more than ten minutes. What a charming old place you have here! I’m quite in love with it.” “In the summer it isn’t bad——” “Not at all bad; I should think it isn’t!” Mr. Jackson interrupted. ‘I call it quite ideal; and then the whole country-side is charming.” “You have seen it?” “I motored across from Penzance. I have always said Yorkshire was hard to beat, but I’m bound to say Cornwall is a bit unique” “I’m glad you like it. I hope you will stay a few days now that you are here. My mother and sister will en- tertain you to the best of their abil- ity, I am sure. I have arranged to return to-morrow.” “But why to-morrow?” “That is the end of my week, if you yemember. It was very kind of you to grant me leave at all.” “Oh, come, Mr. Mawgan!” Jackson laughed. ‘I don’t think I drew any hard and fast line, did I, now? As well as I remember, I said ‘Come back as soon as you can.’ And really I don’t think you can get back to-mor- row. Do you think he can, Miss Maw- gan?” and he cast an appealing glance at Esther. “If you will allow him to remain a few days longer we shall be greatly delighted,” Esther replied, candidly. “Allow him? Oh, don’t put it in that way, please. I really can’t pose as his employer before—before—— I tell you I feel quite uncomfortable.” Mrs. Mawgan smiled, and Esther laughed quite heartily. There was something particularly naive about Mr. Jackson, but on the whole she liked him. A little uncouth perhaps, stern and unbending when he liked, with the atmosphere of the woolen mill still clinging to him; but there was a generous side to his nature whch showed itself very clearly. His refusal to pose as Clement’s employer was peculiarly grateful to her. It was finally arranged that Clem- ent should remain at home another week, and that for a day or two, at any rate, Mr. Jackson should be their guest. Esther was delighted. It would be a further break in the monot- ony of their existence. Mr. Jackson indulged in sundry re- flections when he retired to his room to dress for dinner. “An old county family, no doubt,” he mused. “Strange that the young fellow never let on. I admire his courage all the sem>. The old lady at all is proud as Lucifer and as poor as a church mouse. Economy proclaims itself everywhere,” and he cast aswift glance round the room. “But what a delightful young lady the daughter is —the very opposite of her mother,” and he walked up to a mirror and stood for several minutes contem- plating his reflection. The next few days were most en- joyable to all concerned. Mr. Jack- son’s motor car was brought into con- stant use, and as the weather kept fine and had a distinct touch of spring in it, the pleasure of motoring was distinctly increased. It was Esther’s first experience of motoring, and she enjoyed it immense- ly. Mrs, Mawgan was a little nerv- ous and afraid of colts, consequently she only took short trips. Clement felt that his first duty was to Gray- ton. Hence it frequently happened that Mr. Jackson and Esther went touring across country alone. That this might lead to unexpected results did not occur to Esther. If her brother had told her that his em- ployer was a widower she had quite forgotten it. That Mr. Jackson was kind and attentive did not surprise her. He was their guest, and it was natural that he should mak ehimself agreeable. That he should be over head and ears in love with her before he had been in the house two days never oc- curred to any one but himself. Mr. Jackson, however, was very vividly conscious of the fact. Esther’s grace and sweetness carried his heart by storm. During the six yeats he had been wifeless he had never seen any one that captivated his fancy for a moment. He had practically given up the idea of ever marrying again. Now everything was changed as if by magic. His great regret was that he was not twenty years younger. Still, he was in the prime of life, was rich, and of unstained reputation, while the very poverty of the Maw- gans seemed a powerful factor in his favor. He had not lived forty-seven years in the world without discover- ing some of the weaknesses of women. A beautiful home, unlimited cash, beautiful dresses, costly jewelry, horses and motor cars—these were the things that appealed to women, and for which, with a few exceptions, they were prepared to sacrifice all the romance and sentiment that was ever talked or imagined. In this belief Mr. Jackson would have proposed after less than a week’s acquaintance, but for a particularly startling event which, for the time be} ing, absorbed every one’s attention. (To Be Continued.) “BUNK” OR “BUNC.” The Former the Northern and the Later the Southern Spelling “It never occurred to me that there could be two ways of spelling the word ‘bunk,’” said the scholarly ap- pearing person who was studying the sporting section of the newspaper. “But I happened to pick up a Mem- phis newspaper the other day, and as a head to a speech made by Commis- sioner Yoomis in Tokio recently I read: ‘Loomis Hands Out the Bune.’ “Now, without endeavoring to go into the case so put, I want to say only that the headline meant that Mr. Loomis was accused of soft-soaping the Japanese he addressed. The only other authority for the spelling of the word comes from the sporting car- toonists, whose work I study care- fully. They are unanimous in spell- ing it ‘bunk.’ “It appears to me that the South- ern version is based on a belief that the word is a diminutive of ‘bun- combe.’ The Northern spelling may pe due to the belief that a person who may be bunked is a person of sleepy or dope nature, who might as well be lying in a bunk, wrapped in slumber. Therefore, when a person is bunked he is rendered sleepy. That is merely conjecture.” Sugar as a Disinfectant. In many parts of Europe it is cus- tomary among the people to burn sugar in sick rooms, a practice which is considered by physicians as an in- nocent superstition, aeither beneficial nor harmful. Professor Trilbert of the Pasteur Institute at Paris has, however, demonstrated recently that burning sugar developes formic acety- lene hydrogen, one of the most power- ful antiseptic gases known. Five drams of sugar (77.16) were burned under a glass bell holding ten quarts. After the vapor ha dcooled bacilli of typhus, tuberculosis, cholera, small- pox, etc., were placed in the bell in open glass tubes, and within half an hour all the microbes were dead. If the sugar is burned in a closed vessel containing putrefied meat or the con- tents of rotten eggs the offensive odor disappears et once. The popular faith in the disinfecting qualities of burnt sugar appears therefore to be well founded. A Record Honeymoon. M. and Mme. Eugene Gruard have started upon the last lap of their hon- eymoon. The Gruard honeymoon be- gan twelve years ago. On their wed- ding day the two started from Paris to walk around the world, and having traversed Europe, Siberia, Japan, ANorth and South America, and North Africa, they crossed from Dover to Calais on Saturday and got into the straight for home a good deal fresher than. Dorando. A prolonged test of this kind.should leave no doubt as to the success of the Gruard marriage, as all will agree who know how a ! walking tour tries tempers.
