"In Dowlais , South Wales , about fif teen years ago , families were strick . en wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me , it is the most ! terrible disease of its kind that 1 know of , as it Itches all through your . body and makes your life an inferno. " Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I "knew a dozen families that were so Affected. , "The doctors did their best , but their remedies were of no avail what ever. Then the families tried a drug gist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country ; , for treatment , but his medicine made matters still worse ; as a last resort . they were advised by a friend to uso - the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to 'tell you that after a few days' treat ment with Cuticura Soap , Ointment and Resolvent , the effect was wonder : ful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases.

He had been all over world , a soldier in African campaigns , American insurrections. On : as in South leaving the service he decided that i it the coun was better to be a Triton in try than a minnow in town ; and acting "Ashan upon this theory , he purchased . For tee" from a ruined stock broker. merly the place had been called Sarby ' but original owners ; lands , after its honor of Jen had changed the name , in a campaign in which he had partici pated. He had been present at the downfall had con of King Koffee in Africa ; he tracted during the expedition an ague which tormented him greatly during ; received ; a he had his later life , and ' for wound and a medal. In gratitude these gifts of fortune , the Major , with ] had converted the name some irony , Sarbylands into the barbaric appella and African kingdom ; tion of a West many he lived with his ! here for many years , two boys. ! . These lads , named respectively Mau . rice Alymer and David Sarby , were in no way related to the Major , but they ; had entered into his life in rather an odd fashion. Alymer was the son of a . beautiful girl with whom Jen had been passionately in love but she did not return his affection , and married one of his brother officers , who was after wards killed in the Ashantee War. Jen cherished a hope that she would re- ward his love by a second marriage , but the shock of her husband's death proved too much for the fragile widow. Sho died within a week after receiving the terrible news , and left behind her a wailing infant , which was consigned to the cold charity of indifferent rela- tives. It was then that the Major displayed the goodness of his heart and the no- bility of his character. Forgetting his own sorrows , he obtained permission from the relatives to adopt the child , and to , take charge of the trifle of : property coming to the lad. Then he bought Sarbylands , set estate and house in order under the name of "Ashantee , " and devoted his life to cherishing and training the lad in whose blue eyes he saw a look of his dead love. This Platonic affection , be- gotten by the deathless memory of the one passion of his life , filled his exist- ence completely , and rendere'd him en tirely happy. With regard to David Sarby , he had passed with the estate to Jen. The boy's father , a drunkard , and a con- firmed gambler , had been forced , , through his vices , j ( to sell his ancestral of the sale home ; 'and within a year he had dissipated the purchase money in debauchery. Afterwards , like the sordid and pitiful coward he had al- ways proved himself to be , he commit- ted suicide , leaving his only son- since been whose : : mother had long worried into her grave-a pauper , and an orphan. The collateral branches of the old Sarby family had died out ; the rela- tives on the mother's side refused to have anything to do with a child , who -if heredity went for anything - ! might prove to be a chip of the old block and little David might have found himself thrown on the parish , but that Major : Jen , pitying the forlorn condition of the child , saved him from so ignomin- ious a fate. His heart and his house were large enough to receive another pensioner , so he took David back to the old deserted mansion , and presented him to Maurice as a new playfellow. Henceforth the two boys grew to man- hood under ; the devoted care of the cheerful old bachelor , who had pro- tected their helpless infancy. The Major : : was fairly well-to-do having considerable private property , and he determined in the goodness of his heart , that "the boys , " as he fondly called them , should have every advan- tage in starting life. He sent them both to school and later called upon them to choose their professions. Mau rice more of an athlete than a scholar , selected the army , and the delighted Major highly approved of his choice. Of a more reflective nature and stu- dious mind , David wished to become a lawyer. Both lads proved themselves worthy of Jen's goodness , and were soon in active exercise of the professions which they had chosen. Maurice joined a regiment , and David was ad- mitted to the bar. Then the Major . \ was thankful. His boys were provided for , and it only remained that each should marry some charming girl and bring their families to gladden an old bachelor's heart at "Ashantee. " The Major : had many day-dreams of this sort ; but , alas ! they were destined never to be fulfilled. Fate began her work of casting into dire confusion the hitherto placid lives of the two young ; men. Frequently the young barrister and . the soldier came to visit their guar I dian , for whom they both cherished a deep affection. On' the occasion of each visit Jen was accustomed to cel ebrate their presence by a small festi val , to which he would ask two or three friends. With simple craft , the old man would invite also pretty girls , with their mothers ; in the hope that ' his lads might be lured into matri mony. The Major was a confirmed bache lor , but he did not intend that his boys should follow so bad an example. He wished Maurice to marry Miss Isabella Dallas , a charming blonde from _ the West Indies ; and David he designed as the husband of Meg Brance. But Jen was mistaken in thinking that he could guide the erratic affections of youth as will hereafter be proved. Sure enough , the lads fell in love , but both with the same woman-a state of things not anticipated by the Major : , who was too simple to be a match- maker. On this special occasion , however , no ladies were present at the little dinner and besides Jen and his two boys Dr. Etwald was the only guest' About this man with the strange name there is something to be said. He was tall , he was thin with a dark- lean face , and fiery , watchful dark eyes. For three years he had been wasting his talents in the neighboring town when he should have been shouldering : his jvay above the crowd of mediocrities in the metropolis. The man was dis passionate brilliant , and persevering ; he had in him the makings , not only of a : : great physician but of a great man ; and he was wasting his gifts in a dull : provincial town. No one knew who Etwald was , or whence he came , or why he wasted his talents and such secret past which he declined to yield up to the most persistent questioner ; , accentuated the distrust caused by his somber looks and curt speeches. Pro- vincial society is intolerant of origi- nality. Etwald had become acquainted with Jen professionally , and having cured the Major of one of his frequent at- tacks of ague , he had passed from be- ing a mere medical attendant into a closer relationship of a friend. The boys had met him once or twice , but neither of them cared much for his somber personality , and they were not overpleaseM to find that the Major : had invited the man to meet them on the occasion of this special dinner. But Jen-good simple soul-was rather taken with Etwald's mysticism , and , moreover , pitied his loneliness. Therefore he welcomed this intellec tual pariah to his house and board ; and on this fine June evening Etwald was enjoying an > excellent dinner in the company of three cheerful compan- ions. Major : Jen sustained the burden of conversation for Maurice : was absent- minded , and David physiognomically inclined-was silently attempting to read the inscrutable countenance of Etwald. As for the latter he sat with his brilliant eyes steadily fixed upon Maurice. : The young man felt uneasy under the mesmeric gaze of the doc- tor , and kept : twisting and turning in his seat. Finally he broke out impa tiently in the midst of the Major's babble and asked Etwald a direct question. ' "Does my face remind you of any- one ? " he - . demanded . . , rather sharply. "YesT Mr. Aylmer ! " replied Etwald , deliberately , "it reminds me of a man who died ! " . "Dear me ! " said Jen , with a. sympa- thetic look. "Was he a friend of yours : , Doctor ? " "Well , no , Major , I can't say that he was. In fact , " added Etwald with the air of a man making a simple state- ment , "J hated him ! " "I hope you don't hate me ? " said Maurice , ' rather annoyed. "No Mr. Alymer ; , I don't hate you ! " replied the doctqr in a colorless tone. "Do ' you believe in palmistry ? " be asked , suddenly. d - - , . . . - , > , - . . . . - , . . : > , " - " . . " , , . A . . , _ _ r _ r , r - "No ! " said Maurice , promptly. "All rubbish ! " added the Major. : \ "What do you say , Mr. Sacby ? " ask- ed Etwald , turning to the lawyer. "I .am a skeptic also , " said David with a laugh. "And you ? " "I am a believer. " Here Etwald rose and \ : rossed over to where Maurice : was sitting. The young : ) man , guessing his errand , held ] out his left hand with a smile. Etwald ] scrutinized it closely , and returned 1 to his seat. "Life in death ! " he said calmly. ; "Read that riddle , Mr. Aylmer. Life in death. " CHAPTER II. "Life in death ! " repeated : Maurice in puzzled tones. "And what do you mean by that mystical jargon , doc tor ? " "Ah , my friend , there comes in the riddle. " . "Paralysis ? " suggested David , In a jesting manner , but with some seri ousness. "No ; that is not the answer. " "Catalepsy ? " guessed Major Jen , giv ing his moustache a nervous twist. "Nor that either. " Maurice : , whose nerves were' proof I against such fantasies , laughed disbe- lievingly. "I don't believe you know the an- swer to your own riddle , " he said , salmly. Etwald shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know for certain , Mr. Ayl mer but I can guess. " "Tell us your guess , doctor ; as it interests me so nearly , I have a right to know. : " "Bad news comes quickly enough in the telling , " said the doctor , judi ciously , "so I shall say nothing more. Life in death is your fate , Mr. Ayl mer ; unless , " he added , with a swift and penetrating glance , "you choose to avert the calamity ! " "Can I do so ? " "Yes , and in an easy manner. Nev er get married. " Maurice : flushed crimson , and , re- senting the mocking tone of Etwald half rose from his seat , but without moving a finger , Etwald continued in ' a cold tone : "You are in love with a young lady , and you wish to marry her ! " "Quite right ! quite right ! " broke in Major Jen , heartily. "I want Maurice to marry. " "Then you want him to meet his fate of life in death ! " said Etwald curtly. The others stared at him , and with ] the skepticism of thoroughly healthy ; minds refused to attach much import ance to Etwald's mysticism. Jen was the first to speak , dnd he did so in rather a stiff way , quite different from his usual jovial style of conversation. "My dear Etwald , if I did not know you so well I should take you for ; a charlatan. " "I am no charlatan , . Major , " rejoin ed Etwald coolly. "I ask no money ; for my performance. I repeat my ; warning to Mr. Aylmer. Never get married ! " "I am afraid it is too late for me to take your advice , doctor , " said Maur ice merrily. "I am in love. " "I know you are , and I admire your taste. : " "Pardon me , doctor , " said Maurice stiffly. "I mention no names. " "Neither do I , but I think of one name , my friend. " "Now you are making a mystery out of a plain common-sense question , " said David , irritably. "We all ' : now that Maurice : is in love , " here he raised his eyes suddenly , and looked keenly at his friend , "with Meg Brance. " Major Jen chuckled and rubbed his hands together in a satisfied manner. Etwald bent his somber looks on Maurice , and that young man , biting his lip , took 'up the implied challenge in Sarby's remark , and answered ! plainly : . "I am not in love with Meg , my dear fellow , " said he sharply ; "but if you must know , I admire"-this with em- "Miss Dallas. " phasis-"l\Iiss The brow of Sarby grew black and in his turn he rose to his feet. "I am glad to hear it is only 'ad- mire , ' " he remarked , slowly , "for had the word been any other I should have resented it. " "You ! And upon what grounds ? " cried Aylmer flashing out in a rage. * " "That is my business. " " "And mine , too , " said Maurice : , hot- " is = ly.

Trying to Blot Opium Ilnbit From Face of Her Country. Suppose that President Taft and our National Congress should send out an edict tomorrow that every man and woman in the employ of the govern ment must * give up the drinking of liquor or be dismissed from office , and that no new appointment should be made to any one who had contracted the liquor habit or who would not sign the pledge , writes Frank G. Carpenter from Pekin. Let this edict relate not only to 1 : Washington but to every postoffice and custom house , and let its effect he so extended as to include every State official , even to the county clerks , sher iffs and their subordinate employes. Let another edict. provide that all must show government permits before a glass of whisky , wine or other liquor will be sold to them , and so that every saloon keeper be subject to fine and imprisonment if he breaks this law. Let the edict summarily shut nine- tenths of the saloons , and provide for the absolute destruction of all within the course of ten days. Let there be laws forbidding the dis tilling of liquors and their Importa tion ; and , in short , the inauguration of a scheme of government restrictions which would entirely wipe out the manufacture , selling and drinking of anything intoxicating within the space of ten years. It would be a good , big contract , would It not ? ' * Well , that is just what China is try ; ing to do as to blotting opium and the opium traffic from the face of her country. . . . In nearly every province of China there has been a general closing of the opium dens. In some cities a hack- ] door business is still going on , hut ? the public smoking has become unpopular and dangerous and the chief opium used is now behind closed doors. In Shanghai all the dens in the na tive town have been shut , and fully half of those In the foreign concessions wiped out. The foreigners propose to clean out the evil in their part of the city by 1910. The work of the repression is going on rapidly , but opium is still smoked ? largely In secret and an enormous amount of underhand selling and smuggling is done. These people are just as human as we are and the same conditions prevail as would obtain ini : i the United States were we to try to abolish the drink habit within as short a time as the Chinese have allotted to the wiping out of this terrible drug. Some of the officials are hypocrites , others are openly disobeying the law , while others , bound in the Laocoon grip of the opium , are secretly smok ing the drug or are injecting morphine into their persons behind their closed doors. The movement for the most part is earnest and honest , and it has already accomplished a vast deal ol good. . HEAT AS UNIVERSAL CURE. Household Remedies in Hot Watei Appllnd In Various Way It was rard to realize last summer that heat could have any good quali ties , but the mother of toothachy Joe or Jeggy , who Has the falling down habit , knows better , an exchange says. . There is no family comforter like the hot water bottle , and heat , whether in liquid or dry form , in poultices , , fomentations or baked flannel , is a household friend. There are few home ailments that cannot be eased by heat. For earache or toothache nothing is better than the hot water bottle or lying on bags of hot bran or holding a mouthful of hot witchhazel and syringing the ear with warm water. Bruises and sprains are relieved by putting them at once in water as hot as can be borne. Sleeplessness is often routed by clothes wrung out of hot water placed on the forehead and base of the brain. , A hot foot bath and a glass of hot water has been known to drive away bad sick headache , while nervousness is frequently allayed by a cup of hot water with half a teaspoonful of salt nit. Took lieave of His Prisoners. Robert Chanler , retiring sheriff oi Dutchess county , N.

You're too fine a lot to be in here. Most of you come here through drink. Cut it out. Be decent. Be on the level with everybody and you'll be fair to your selves. We all make mistakes. You have made them and so have I. Don't make the same mistake twice. That's the point. Make up your : minds to be right and stick to it. Don't give up. Everybody ] : will respect you then.
