Cuticura’s Efficacy Clearly Proven. “When about two and a half years old my daughter broke out on her hips and the upper parts of her legs with a very irritating and painful eruption. It began in October; the first I noticed was a little red surface and a constant desire on her part to scratch her limbs. She could not sleep and the eruptions got sore, and yellow water came out of them. I had two doctors treat her, but she grew worse under their treat- ment. Then I bought the Cuticura Remedies and only used them two weeks when she was entirely well. This was in February. She has never had another rough place on her skin, and she is now fourteen years old. Mrs. R. R. Whitaker, Winchester, Tenn., Sept. 22, 1908.” Potter Drug & Chem.

To Say Goodby. Spring passed gently and tenderly into the arms of summer, and it was such a spring as few remembered. The cold north winds spent them- selves before March was half through its course, and the soft southern breezes blew sweetly over a sapphire sea, and so continued to blow till all the fair Duchy laughed in the opulence of summer beauty. Penry Downs in April was a rolling sea of burnished gold. All the woods round Mawgan Chase were huge billows of tenderest green, the sheltered nooks and glens were vivid with bluebells and wild hyacinths. On the hillsides the daffo- dills‘ waved their golden heads in the sunshine ,and along the hedgerows the trailing bramble sprinkled patches of mother-of-pearl. The meadows were a lush green shot with gold, with here and there a splotch of white were the daisies clustered; and over all was the tender blue of the sky. So fair a world Grayton fancied he had never seen before when he took his first short excursion out of doors. He had rev- eled in many spring times, but never in one so fair and sweet as this. His first considerable excursion was to Mawgan Chase. He drove over the hill in a pony Bath chair, and pulled up constantly that he might look at the primroses hiding in the mossy hedgerows or feast his eyes on the banks of blue bells beneath the trees. He was very grateful to be out of doors again—more grateful than any one could guess. And he was going to see the woman who, in his syes, was fairer than aught else on earth. His heart beat very fast when the woods round Mawgan Chase came into sight—not with hope, however, only with longing. He had no hope of ever winning Esther Mawgan—he had no intention of trying. He could see no future in which she would share his life. From a worldly point of yiew he was more utterly stranded than ever before. He had had to resign his curacy, and it was very doubtful when he would be able to take an- other. As soon as he was able to make the journey he was going home to his people in Yorkshire, and he might never see this fair Cornwall again, That he would leave his heart be- hind him he knew. It was one of the little ironies of life that the things most coveted were nearly always out of reach. Nevertheless he believed he would be able to cherish his ideal and keep it unstained to the last. Love was more than marriage; indeed, judging from what he saw, marriage often meant the spoiling of love. The romance of life seemed to go when the silken bands of love were. padlocked with steel. Nevertheless, being huma‘ his heart ached for possession ,and “ke most men he cherished the illusion that nothing could stale life’s sweet ro- mance if the woman he so idealized became his wife. Esther met him at the gate, her eyes full of tender sympathy—and full of something more, if he had only vision to see. He had not the courage even to press her hand, so conscious was he of the immeasurable distance that lay between them. She shook up the cushions for him and made him com- fortable on the drawing room couch, and then came and sat near him, fold- ing her hands across her knee. It was very delightful to rest there among the cushions and look at her. He wondered if she appeared so beau- tiful or whether it was his love that glorified her. Mrs. Mawgan was taking her after- noon nap upstairs, so that they had a delicious hour all to themselves; and yet, so far as he was concerned, the pain came very near the surface. He wondered more than once whether, if ie were in a position to keep a wife, his courage would be equal to tHe oc- easion.. They had talked mainly about Marion. To Esther her story was more romantic than any novel she had ever read, and the romance of it had not ended yet. ¥ Grayton encouraged the talk to run in this direction. He did not want to talk about himself—about what he had done and suffered. To be compli- mented to his face always hurt him. He was not a conceited man.. Indeed, he estimated himself at a figure much lower than he should have done. Esther made one or two attempts to get him to talk about himself, but, dis- covering that the topic was not a con- genial one, she allowed the conversa- iton to drift away to Marion. He also made one attempt to turn the conversation in the direction of Mr. Jackson, whose good nature and liberality were beginning to be talked about in St. Chloe; but for some rea- son the attempt came to nothing. Esther answered his question with great readiness, and then went straight on to something else. SILAS K. HOCKING. Marion, in Esther’s eyes, was an im- mense success. She had been taken up by Lady Fowey with the utmost cordiality and affection, and hati been welcomed everywhere. Her freshness, her vivacity, her naivete, her un- spoiled naturalness and innocence, had won her friends in all directions. Half the young men in Lady Fowey’s set had lost their hearts to her already. “And do you hear from her regu- larly?” he questioned. “Every week, and sometimes often- er. Sh etells me everything. Such a dglightful child I never met before.” “A rather mature child,” he sug- gested, with a smile. “In somethings, yes. In all the things that touch life’s serious and abiding issues she is wise beyond her years. But in other respects she is an unspoiled child, looking out upon the world with great, wondering eyes, and prepared to enjoy every new experi- ence to the full.” “Are you not afraid that this new life will spoil her?” “I am a little doubtful sometimes, I confess. It seems to me a very ar- tificial kind of life in the main, and very unsatisfying.” “Is it not enervating and demoraliz- ing?” “I cannot speak to that. To those born into it it may seem _ natural enough. To Marion, going straight into it from hardship and simplicity, the thought of what may happen is a lit- tle disquieting.” “J expressed to her the hope the other day that she would not let rich- es spoil. her.” “You did? Have you seen her?” and Esther stared at him with a look of astonishment. He colored for a moment almost painfully. “I see I have unwittingly let the cat out of the bag,” he said, with a forced laugh. “I forgot for the moment.” “Forgot?” “She called me the day before she went away. She did not take you in- to her confidence lest you shoyld dis- approve. It was all very funny and delightful. I thought perhaps she would tell you when she got back.” “She never alluded to the matter, the shy little puss.” “She says she does not understand our straight and narrow ways yet, and is always afraid of getting over the fence without knowing it.” “And you talked to her very seri- ously?” “Oh, no; not very seriously. She wanted to thank me and all that, you know, and she really was awfully sweet about it.” “T certainly shall have to take her to task when next we meet. She might have let me know.” “Please don’t split on me, for the world,” he said, laughing.! “I quite ap- proved of what she did. Some of our conventionalities are stupid beyond expression. I am one of those who believe that all generous impulses should be encouraged,’ ’and then their conversation was interrupted by the entrance of Mrs. Mawgan. When Grayton called again it was to say goodby. He left the carriage with his.luggage standing in the road outside the gate. Mrs. Mawgan was not yet downstairs. She had a restless night ,and decided in consequence to have her breakfast in bed. She did not know Grayton was calling, neither did Esther for that matter. Grayton was still very pale and thin. It was patheti¢ to see the strong man so painfully reduced. Some of his parishioners hardly recognized him when he got out of doors again. He comforted himself, however, with the reflection that he was getting better, if slowly, and, though it might be a Jong time before he was fit to preach again, he was not quite without hope that some day oy would be his once more. He was feeling very depressed when he drove away from St. Chloe. It might be “Sleepy Hollow,” but he had got to love it—got to love the robust fisherfolk, with their strange supersti- tions and their sterling piety, Moreover, ever since he came he had allowed a free hand. He had seen his vicar only twice. The Rev. Her- bert Smithson was a delicate man, and had to live abroad. The curate did all the work and received £60 per an- num; the remaining £740 went into the pocket of the vicar. Grayton had never worried himself much about the salary. Mrs. Tam- blyn provided him with food and lodg- ings for ten shillings a week, so that he had a fair margin for the other necéssaries of life. His flock was never an exacting one in any sense of the word. The only thing they grumbled at was when his sermons extended beyond a quarter of an hour in length; but, as making sermons was not exactly Grayton’s forte, it was not often they had any cause of com- plaint in that respect. * He hardly realized what a wrench it was to go away from St. Chloe un- til the time came. Why he should feel it so much he hardly knew. He had never expected to spend all his days in that quiet seaboard parish. He knew that sooner or later he would have to pack his bags and go, but he had never expected going away in such a helpless condition. It seemed to him as though he were starting life ae ind starting heavily handicap- ped. e Esther knew that Grayton was leay- ing that day, but as he had decided to make the journey by easy stages she did not think he would start quite so early. He had never seen her in what Esther called dehabille before, but he fancied she never looked more sweet and winning. ¢ She was standing by the dining room window when he was announced, and her pale face reddened very percepti- bly when she advanced to meet him. “I could not help calling to say good-by,” he said, hurriedly; “you and your mother have been very kind to male “Mother has not got down yet,” Esther replied, a little awkwardly. “I am afraid you won’t be able to see her.” “I am sorry. But perhaps you will say goodby to her for me.” “I will do so, of course. be sorry to have missed you.” Then there was an awkward little pause. He had a hundred things he would like to have said, but this was not the time. “I did not think you would be start- ing so early,” Esther broke in at length, and she looked beyond him through the open door. “This is the best train: of the day,” he said, “and I want to get on as far as possible.” Then there was another little si- lence. For some reason or other con- versation would not flow. “Well, good-bye,” he said, abruptly, and he held out his hand. “Good-bye, Mr. Grayton! I hope you will soon be as well as ever.” He took her hand in his, and his lips moved as though he were on the point of saying something else; then he dropped her hand and turned away. She followed him at a little distance down the drive, and by the time he had got into the carriage she stood close to him. She never quite knew what prompted her to follow him. She fancied it was mere neighborliness. She was in the habit of going to the side of the carriage when their friends took their departure. The driver gathered up the reins and raised his whip. Grayton leaned suddenly over the door, his face very pale, his eyes ablaze with light. “Esther,” he whispered, “I love you! I love you! I love you!” “And I love you,” she struggled to say, but the words never left her lips. Before even her eyes could speak the horse started off at a trot, and he was gone, She stood there for a long time quite still, looking up the lane where the carriage had disappeared. She was quite conscious of time and place. Her nerves were thrilling with a new sensation, her heart throbbiing with an unexpected joy. That Grayton had said good-by to her and that she might never see his face again did not concern her just then. Everything was swallowed up in the jubilant fact that he loved her. she had been conscious for months that her feeling toward him had not been the normal kind. No other voice touched her heart as his did; no other eyes ever looked so deeply as his. But she had been afraid to question her heart, afraid to let her thoughts dwell on him for any length of time. She had been brought up in an atmos- phere of the strictest propriety, and regarded it as wrong to love until her love had been asked. Now her whole soul flamed up in a consuming passion. There was no longer doubt or uncertainty in her mind. He had told her in three burn- ing sentences that he loved her, and so she was quite free to love him in return. " She will {To Be Continued.) HOW TO DESTROY EXPLOSIVES. Precaution to Be Taken With Gun- powder and Nitroglycerine. The best way to destroy ordinary black gunpowder is to throw it into a stream under conditions that prevent any harm coming to human beings or animals through the dissolving of the saltpetre. If no suitable stream is available the gunpowder may be poured out on the ground in a long thin line and ignited with a fuse at one end. To destroy dynamite cartridges the paper wrappinngs should be carefully removed, the bare cartridges laid in a row with their ends in contact and the first cartridge ignited with a fuse without a cap. Even with these pre- cautions a simultaneous explosion of the entire mass may occur, so that it is wise to retire to a safe distance. The row of cartridges should be laid paralle] with the wind and ignited at the leeward end so that the flame will be driven away from the mass. Frozen dynamite should be handled with special care, as its combustion is peculiarly liable to assume an ex- plosive character. A small quantity of dynamite may be destroyed by throwing it in very small bits into an open fire, or the cartridges may be exploded one by one in the open air with fuses and caps. % Dynamite should never be thrown into water, as the nitroglycerine which it contains remains undissolved and capable of doing mischief. Other explosives which contain nitroglycer- ine should be treated in the same way as dynamite. Ammonium nitrate explosives may be thrown in small fragments into an open fire, or if they do not contain nitroglycerine may be destroyed by means of water. Explosive caps should be exploded with pieces of fuse. : Es 3 2 E i ; ! i 8 3 5 z E g ul & 8 i i E i pee : Ee j i i 3 : 8 i i L i : A E : Advice, “Officer,” said the strdnger, step- ping up to him, “how would you go from here to Spotcash & Co.’s store?” “Well, sor,” answered the policeman on the crossing, looking at the crowds, on the sidewalks and scratching his Jaw reflectively, “I think I’d offer up a silent prayer an’ take th’ middle of th’ sthreet.
