"I am seventy-seven years old, and eoine years ago I was taken with cc lema from head to foot. I was sick for six months and whrt I suffered tongue could not tell. I could not sleep day or night because- of that dreadful Itching; when I did sleep it was from sheer exhaustion. I was one mass of Irritation; it was even in my scalp. The doctor's medicine seemed to make me worse and I was almost out of my mind. I got a set of the Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent. I used them persistently for twenty-four hours.

Ho was called home by ,ad" llaivkshaw us he was about to "blow In" bis earnings with Vernon. V CHAPTER IV. Continued. And that ninht I made u stranse and terrible discovery. Iady Arabella was a gamester of the most desperate character, in. ready money, as far as her allowance as a minor permitted, and in promises to pay, when she came into her fortune, as far as such promises would bo accepted. Hut they were not much favored by the pontic men and ladies who played with her; for the chances of her marrying before her majority wero so great, that her I O U's wero not considered of much value, and found few takers, even when accompanied by I.ady Arabella's most brilliant smiles; for your true gamester is impervious to smiles or frowns, insensible to beauty in short. all his faculties arc concentrated on tho odd trick. A great moh or tine people came j and there was a supper, and many j wax lights, and all the accessories of a fashionable rout. 1 wandered about, knowing no one, but observant of all. I noticed that a very clever device was hit upon by Lady Arabella and others who like high play, which Lady liawksnaw aisiiuen very mucn. j ne stakes were nominally very small, but in reality they were very large, shil lings actually signifying pounds. All of the people who practiced this were in one of the lower rooms, while Sir Peter, who was allowed to play six penny whist, and those who in good faith observed Lady Hawkshaw's wishes, were in a room to themselves. I must not forget to mention, anions the notable things at this rout, Lady Hawkshaw's turban. It was a con struction of feathers, flowers, beads, and every other species of ornament, the whole capped with the celebrated tiara which had bean bought from the Portuguese, and tho diamond necklace beamed upon her black velvet bosom. Sir Peter seemed quite enchanted with her appearance, as she loomed a head taller than any woman in tho rooms, and evidently considered her a combi nation of Venus and Minerva not that the pair censed squabbling on that ac count. I think they disagreed vio lently on every detail of the party, and Sir Peter was routed at every point. Among those who did not play was Daphne, then quite as tall as 1 and well Into her sixteenth year. I could not but acknowledge her to be a pret ty slip of a girl, and we sat In a cor ner und I told her about our bloody doings on the AJax, until she stopped her ears and begged me to desist. 1 regarded Daphne with condescension, then: but I perceived that she was sharp of wit and nimble of tongue, much more more so than her cousin, Lady Arabella. After a while I left Daphne nnd went back to watch Lady Arabella. 1 soon saw that she was a very poor player, and lost continually; but that only whetted her appetite for the game. Presently a gent Ionian entered, and, walking about listlessly, although he seemed to be known to everybody present, approached me. It was ('apt. Overton, as handsome, as distrait, as on the first and only time 1 had seen him. Much to my surprise, he recognized me and came tip and spoke to me, making me a very handsome compli ment upon the performances of tho Ajax. "And Is my cousin, Mr. Vernon, here to-night?" he asked, smiling. I replied I supposed not; he had re ceived no card when we had parted that morning, and I knew of none since. "1 shall be very glad to meet him," said Overton. "I think him a fine fel low, In spite of our disagreement. 1 see you are not playing." "1 have no taste for play, strange to say." "Do not try to acquire It," ho said; "It Is wrong, you may depend upon It; but indulgence in It makes many be lleve it to be right, hvery time you look at a sin, it gets better looking." I was surprised to hear sin men tloned In the society of such elegant m and well bred sinners as I saw around tno. who never alluded to i', except of ficially, ns it wor (in Sunday, when they all declared themselves nits-ertibli' sinners for that occasion only. Over ton then sauntered over toward Lady Arabella, who seomed to recognize his approach by Instinct. She turned to him, her cards in her hands, nnil i Bushed deeply; he gar.ed at her stern- ly as if In reproof, ami, after a slight ' remark or two, moved off, to her ei dent chagrin. Daphne being near me theu, I said to her w Ith a forced laugh; "What Is the meaning. I beg you to tell me, of the pantomime, between Lady Arabella and ("apt. Overton?" Daphne hesitated, and then said: "(.'apt. Overton was one or the gay est men about London until ft year or two ago. Since then, it is said, ho has ; turned Metluuly. It Is believed bo goes to Mr. Wesley's meetings, although ' ho has never bo-en actually caught there. He lives plainly, and. some say, he gives his means to the poor; ho will not go to the races any more, ; nor play, and he does not like to see Arabella play." ; "What has he to do with Arabella?"! "Nothing that I know of, except that ' she likes him. He does not like to' see any one play now, although hoi gamed very high himself at one time." I had seen no particular marks of in terest on Overton's part, toward Lady Arabella; but, watching her, 1 saw. in a very little while, the deepest sort of interest on her part toward him. She even left the card-table for bini, and kept fast bold of him. I recalled the way she had striven to attract his attention nt tho play that night, more than two years before, and my jeal ous soul was illuminated with the knowledge that she was infatuated with Overton and I was right. Some time afterward, whom should I sec walking In hut Oiles Vernon! Lady Hawkshaw received him most graciously. I went up to him and asked: "Huw came you here?" "Did you think, Dicky, that 1 meant to let you keep up a close blockade of the lovely Arabella? No, indeed; 1 got a card at seven o'clock this even ing, by working all day for it, anil I mean to reronnoiter tho ground as well as you." I thought when he saw Lady Ara bella with Overton that even Olios Vernon's assurance would scarcely be equal to accosting her. He marched I Could Not But Acknowledge Her to Be a Pretty Slip of a Girl. himself up with all tho coolness in the world, da lining kinship boldly with Overton, who couldn't forbear smiling, and Immediately began to try for favor in Arabella's eyes. Hut here I saw what I never did be fore or since with Giles Vernon a woman who was utterly indifferent to him, and actually seemed to dislike him. She scarcely noticed him at first, and, when he would not be rebuffed, was so saucy to him that I wondered be stood for it for a minute. Put stand it ho did, with the evident, de termination to conquer her Indiffer ence or dislike, whichever it might be. Overton seized the excuse of Cities' approach to escape, and left the house, which did not cause Lady Arabella to like Oilcs nny belter. She returned to the card-table, Giles with her, and, by tho exercise of the most exquisite ingenuity, he managed to lose some money to her, which somewhat re stored her good humor. At last tho rout was over, and soon after midnight nil had gone. I was shown to a bedroom, with only n parti tlon Willi between rue and Sir Peter and Lady Hawkshaw; so I had the benefit of tho nightly lecture Lady Hawkshaw gave Sir Peter, with the most unfuilliiK regularity. On this particular night, they came nearer agreeing than usual, both of them dis cussing anxiously Lady Arabella's marked fondness for play. And Lndy Hawkshaw told of a late escapade of Lady Arabella's In which a certain ace of clubs was played by her; the said ace of clubH being fashioned out. of black court-plaster and white card board. When detected. Lady Arabella professed to think the whole thing a joke, but as her adversary at the time was a very old lady whose eyesight was notoriously de fective, it took all of Lady Ara bella's wit and youth to cany It off successfully, which, however, she did. As for her trinkets. Lady Ara bella was always buying them, and al ways taking iv distaste to them, so she alleged, und Lady Hawkshaw sus pected they took the place of shillings lit tho card -tuhle. Sir Peter groaned at this and remarked that the earl, her father, was the worst gamester he knew, except, her grandfather. I do not remember any more. I tried to avoid hcaiinj: what they were saying, i I V" !"l , .. '""""V!" I!!II".1"!"!I!.I!'!!!H!'I!,!!"IIII I If' ; j WW but every word was distinctly ftuiTlbla t inc. until, at this point, I fell asleep ami dreamed that Lady llawksh.tw as appointed to command the AJux and 1 wiu to report on board next day. CHAPTER V. I spent several weeks In Sir Peter's house and strange weeks they were in many resents. I never had the least toinplaint to make of the kindness of Sir Peter or Lady Hawkshaw, except that Lady Hawkshaw insisted on In vesting my money, all except ten pounds she gave me, charging me t ! careful with it; but Sir Peter secretly lent me a considerable sum, to he repaid at my majority. Sir Peter was actively at war with all the womenfolk in the household, from his lady down, except little Daph lie. He assumed to conduct every thing in a large town house In ltcrkiiy Square exactly as If he were on the Ajax. 74. Ho desired to have the laxy London servants called promptly at two bells, the o'clock In the morn iu:4. and to put them to holystoning, sipiilgeeiiig, and swabbing off the decks, as he called It. Of course the servants rebelled, and Sir Peter de nounced them as mutineers, nnd would have dearly liked to put them all In double irons. He divided the scullions and chambermaids Into watches, and when they laughed in Ills face, threat ened them with the articles of war Ho wished everything iu the house slowed away in the last compass pos sible, and when Lady Hawkshaw had her routs, Sir Peter, watch iu hand, superintended the removal of the fur niture from the reception rooms, which he called clearing for action, and dis charged nny servant who was not. smart at his duly. He had ft room, which ho called his study, fitted up with all the odds and ends ho had collected during 10 years In the navy, and here he held what might be called drum-head court-niarllals, nnd dis rated the domestic slaff, fined thorn, swore at. them, and bitterly regretted that, the land law did not admit of any proper discipline whatever. It may be Imagined what a scene of discord this created, alihough Sir Peter was of so kind and generous a iiaiure that the servants took more from him than from most masters, and, indeed, rather diverted them selves with his lines and punishments, and, when dismissed, declined to leave his service, much to his wrath ami chagrin. The acme was readied when he attempted to put tho cook In the brig, as he called a dank cellar which ho determined to utilize for mutineers, as on board ship. Tho cook, a huge creature three times as big us Sir Peter, boarded him in his own particu lar den, and, brandishing a rolling-pin that was quite as dangerous as a cut lass, announced that she would no longer submit to be governed by the articles of war, as administered by Sir Peter. She was sustained by a vo ciferous chorus of housemaids and kitchen girls who Hocked behind her, tho men rather choosing to remain In the background and grinning. Sad to say. Admiral Sir Peter Hawkshaw, C. H., was conquered by the virago with tho rollingjdn, and was forced to surrender to tho mutineers, which lie did with a very bad grace. At that juncture Lady Hawkshaw hove In sight, and. bearing down upon the company from below stairs, dispersed them all with one wave of her hand Sir Peter complained bitterly, and Lady Hawkshaw promised to bring them to summitry punishment. Hut she warned Sir Peter that his methods were becoming as Intolerable to her as to the rest of the family, and Sir Peter, after a round or two for the honor of his flag, hauled down his col ors. This became especially neces sary, as tils retirement was at hand, consequent, more upon un obstinate rheumatism that fixed itself upon him than his age. There was doubt whether he would get the K. ('. II., which ho certainly well deserved, on his retirement; there was some sort of hitch about it, although, after tho capture of the two French ships, ho had been promoted to tho office of ad miral. Lady Hawkshaw, however, went down to the admiralty in a coach with six horses and three root men and four outriders, and, inarching In upon tho first lord, opened lire on hlni, with the result Ihat Sir Peter was gazetted K. ('. It. the very next week. Little Daphne, who had alwnys sub mitted to Sir Peter's whims, did so more than ever after lie bad been vanquished by the cook; and Sir Peter swore, twenty times a week, that Daphne had the stuff in her to make a sea otllcer of tho first, order.
