HIS SKIN NOW FINE AND SMOOTH AS SILK "I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve jvans of miswy 1 passed with car ton. As an infant I noticed on h body red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five fears, but when the spot began to et larger X put him under tin) care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the dar it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His arreams could be heard down-stairs. The suffering f my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. "One doctor told me that my son's enema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. "I tell you that Cuticura Ointment fe worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuti cura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and Cuti cura Resolvent my child was cured. Be is now twelve years old, and his skin is sflneandsmoothassilk. Michael Stein man, 7 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, K. r April 16, 1905."

Original. 1 shall be accused of hunting through aid fashioned dime novels for a plan for this story unless I state that It Is true. The names of the characters are not their real ones, but the Incidents are exactly as they occurred In all their Improbability. "The O'Briens," said a man standing In his doorway, "are quarreling. Lis ten." A man's voice was heard to say: "Be quiet, MoUy. Don't yon see the neighbors looklngr "I dont care If tbey are. This life I'm living with yon Is unbearable." "Very well, I'll trouble yon no longer. But remember mind what I say (he shook his finger at her) you'll not get me back for the asking." O'Brien strode away, and his wife went into the house and slammed the door. Those who were watching the eouple went off about their respective callings and thought no mora of the incident, except that this was the first time they had ever known the coupk to quarrel. Miles and Molly O'Brien had been supposed to be devoted to each other. The next day and the next and the next the O'Brien house was closed. Neither Miles nor bis wife was at home, nor wag either seen In the vil lage. Then one morning a crowd gath ered about their bouse. In the yard lay Mrs. O'Brien, dressed in her best clothes and wearing ornaments which she seldom wore except on gala occa sions. Sbe had been dead some time. A blow on the bead had been the cause of her death. The body was Identified before the coroner, the parting words of the couple given In evidence, and the police of neighboring cities were notified to arrest Miles O'Brien for the murder of his wife. The same evening he was lodged In Jail. The trial was one of circumstantial evidence. The couple had quarreled, O'Brien had gone to the city, where during the Interval between his leaving home and hi!) arrest he bad shunned every one. His wife had disappeared. Then suddenly she bad been found In her own yard murdered, wearing her best apparel and her Jewelry. The theory of the prosecution was that she had returned to her home for the pur pose of taking away these valuables, that her husband had found her there, they had renewed their quarrel and O'Brien had killed her. The prisoner's counsel tried In vain to discover the exact time of the mur der In order to establish an alibi, but the corpse had been found In the morning under some bushes, where It might have lain not only all night, but for several days. The, circumstantial evidence against the accused was too strong to be controverted except by an alibi; consequently there wos no ground for the defense to stand c-u. The Jury bronght In a verdict of guilty. Miles O'Brien was brought up for sentence. "Have you anything to say why the sentence of death should not be passed upon you?" asked the Judge, "I am innocent of the crime. My wife aud I never had but one serldtts quarrel, and I never exiwttHl that It would be Insttng.' The Judge then made some prelimi nary remarks on the devilish brutality of a in u who would kill his wife with a club and ws about to pronounce the final words which would consign Miles O'Brien to the gitllows when there was a com motion among those gatlunvtl ht the back of the courtroom and a vo uinu came pushing her way down the aisle, Rushing to the prisoner, she threw her arms about him, he, though astonished, returning the embrace. "Who are your asked the Judge. Ills wife." AVhen the commotion cousequeut up ou this sudden return to life of a mur dered woman who had come to save her husband from the penalty of hav ing killed her had subsided. Die judge asked Mrs. O'Brien to give an account of her whereabouts since her parting with her husband. "After be left me," she said, "I con cluded to abut up the house and go op Into toecouutry to my mother, who live on a farm. They don't take a newspaper up there, so I dldu't hear of my husband's arrest But I found I couldnt live without him aud came back to learn what had become of him and. If I could find him, ask his for giveness. When I got home, I heard he had been tried for my murder and was to be sentenced this morning." "Have yon a twin slsterf "No, your honor." The Judge sat stupefied. Twelve good and true men under his legal guidance had prouotineed Miles O'Brien guilty of havlug killed the woman who was weeplug over him and coverlug him with kisses. In another moment the convicted man would have been legally guilty of the crime. "You are discharged." said the Judge to the prisoner. "Court Is adjourned, And. rising from his elevated Jmllol.tl chair, he descended Id the floor and stalked out of the room. . Miles and tflo!y O'Brien lived hap pily together afU'r the lesson they had received for years before the envr In Identification was unraveled. Then it came out that soon after they left their home a band of thieves broke Into the house and robbed it One of them wai a woman not unlike Mrs. O'Brien. She arrayed herself In Molly O'Brien's be.it apparel and put on her jewelry. One of her companions accused her of ap propriating more than her share of the plunder. This led to a fight and the woman was killed. Hearing or fancy. Ing they heard approaching footsteps, the robbers left her under a bush with out stopping to remove even the Jewels EMMALINE C. BURKE.

Two men had stolon two steer and old them to a butcher lu the town for the extremely low price- of 11. Now, the Jurisdiction of (his nmyor- l hi lice judge extended In such cases only to the limits of vtty larceny, which required that the stolon articles tw not of a value of more thau $33. Beyond this amount the magistrate had to bind the prisoner or prisoners over to the circuit court, subject to the action of the uext session of the grand Jury. Likewise, In cases thus beyond his Jurisdiction, the Judge pit no fee, and at this particular time, us at mnuy others, be needed the money, Wheu the evidence had all beeu ad duced the case was as plain as the pro boscis ou n n elephant seeu lu profile. The men had stolen the cattle, had sold them for 17. No amount of question Ing could make the butcher who had bought them any that It was 14.50 or any other amount (short of the orlgl nally mentioned sum. Apparently no mayor's fee was In sight. Then the tnayor thus summed up the case; "We have hwird the evidence In this case, and the duty of the court U clear. These men stole the-nttle. They sold them for 17. Taklui the mere prima facie evidence and the bare letter of the law. It would vm that It was a clear and unmistakable case of grand larceny.
