Just the moment you apply
Jlentho-Sulphur . -to an itchtng.
burning or broken out ek.in, the
itching stops and healing begins,
says' a noted skin specialist. This
sulphur preparation, made Into a
pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, - even to fiery
eczema, that nothing has ever been
found to take its place.
Because of Its germ-destroying
properties, ft quickly subdues the
itching, cools the irritation and
heals the' eczema right up, leaving
a clear, smooth skin in place of
ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or
roughness.
You do not have to wait for Im
provement. It i quickly shows.

CHAPTER 235.
WHY MADGE ; FELT THE IM
PULSE TO SHIELD ALLEN
DRAKE.
The meaning of j the trite old
phrase, "walking on air,' was re
vealed to me as I went out of my
father's room, after I had written
down the lists of names for which.
I had asked. I had no sensation
of I solid floor beneath my feet,
and I reached my own room io, a
rapturous,' tremulous excitement
which only those can realize who
have seen afar off the signs of a
long cherished but eminently ab
surd dream coming true.'
.f I knew Allen Drake's moods
sufficiently to be sure that, he was
not speaking lightly for all his
apparent" nonchalance when , he
had asked; me to bring back to
him the code which I had long
ago worked out for my own
amusement, and in which I had
just transcribed the names he had
dictated to me. 'n
i Could it be possible. I asked
niyself, that Allen Drake' was to
bring rae the realization of the ab
surd secret ambition I had cher-
ished from early girlhood, but hajl
put away from ma when I mar
ried the ambition to construct
a working code,; absolutely baffl
ing to any one not familiar with
Its details. "a code which; should
have its foundations in the cunei
form inscriptions I had studied
with old Prof; Severance? ; :
Curiously enough, the fact that
the man Smith, or some one else
for him, already had attempted
the same feat, ; did not - dampen
my spirits. Instead, it gave the
most potent fillip in the world to
a worker that of competition. -
-- i ' v. .;L- .i
Is Lillian Suspicious?
I put - my hand quickly to toy
bodice to which I had thrust the
transcriptions of the names Allen
Drake had given me, and more Im
portant still, the copies of the.
queer characters which bad baf
fled the great expert, and to
which I felt I had the key1. It was
an instinctive : apprehensive ges
tre, for I knew that I should have
no peace of mind while those
scrawls of such vital importance
were In my possession. : But Jti
was a' distinctly betraying; gesture,
as I realized when I saw Lillian
standing in the doorway of - my
room, evidently waiting for me.
Had she seen that quick, pro
tecting movement? I could not
tell, but I fervently hoped she had
not. With resolution I put aside
for future examination the instinc
tive feeling I had that Lillian
must not gain from me any pos
sible hint, of the aid I was at
tempting to give Allan Drake. If
she. ever learned it, the knowledge
must come from the government
agent himself.- And yet the neces
sity of keeping so vital a secret
from Lillian, of all people In the
world, weighed me down with a
feeling of actual guilt. - -
"I was Just about to send out
an SOS for you'j she said gaily,
as I came up to her, "when I saw
you coming down the corridor."
"Yes, I'veJeen playing the role
of a model daughter," I returned
flippantly, grasping. inanetv
enough, at. the first words which
came to me. fj-
You're always that, I think,"
she returned warmly. "Who's the
beneficiary, Dicky's parent or
yours?'-, i ;'f r
"Father wanted to dictate some
letters to me," ! I prevaricated.
"Come on in." j ,
Father Spencer Helps
"Sorry, but I can't," she return
ed. "I want your permission to
burglarize Dicky's loom. My
crayons have gone flooey, and hs
has some peaches in there that I m
going to annex If you don't mind "
It' annoys mei terribly," 1
scoffed. "Here's the key g st
whatever you want."
'Merci, Madame." -: She. bobbed
me a graesiui little curuey, ana
departed for Dicky's room.
As soon as she was out of sight I
locked my -door n feverish haste,
and hid the papers from my dress
in a secret receptacle In my trunk.
Then I . unlocked my door again
and threw it - open, almost upset
ting my father, f A glance along
the corridor revealed it i' still
empty, and I drew my father in
side the room and put my Hps to
his ear, : S : 1 ' : -
"Mrs. Lynderwood was ; : just
here," I whispered. "I rtold r her
you had : been dictating . letters ; tb
me. ' Don't say anything different.
I I don't think Mr. Drake would
like - her to ' know ' was helping
him." : - ! - L -
My. father looked at me oddly,
was silent for a moment, and then,
as we heard Lillian's ' returning
footsteps In the hall outside ' he
said in ordinary tones: .
"Those' letters' were, wonderful
ly done. Daughter, dear. Do-you
suppose you could . find . time to
help me tomorrow and next; day?
I have so' much to "do." . . v
Lillian was iq the ' room as ho
Ilnished the sentence. ' She wait :4
n . ;
only for ne to mention Juniov's
name uncertainly befort she inter
rupted me. .
Ther isn't a thing she has to
do that "I can't -do for her," she
assured my father. "I'll htteud
to "everything, "and leave her free
to hel. you,,. How U AUen.? , StUl
at it?" !
"Still at It," my father repeat
ed gravely as he turned away.
"I suppose I'm a beast, but I
can't be sorry that Allen's having
such a tussle. It won't hurt hln
a bit.' j. : :! j';., . ;
She had uttered much the same
sentiment a few hours before, and
I had heartily agreed with her.
But now I found myself mentally
ranged against her instead 'i:f
with her. And I wondered hi the
resentment I found In my heart
toward her attitude. Hie fierceness.
of the' resolve I made that sh-3
should never ' know of All it
Drake's failures
