aud then guvo my opinion upon it.
It was Jnst 10 o'clock when I left her

office and finish up some correspond

with ber bad made to seem of the
most trivial Importance earlier in the
evening.
We kept a light In the office all night.
It looked a trifle brighter than usual
as It came peering over the ransom,
but I bad a genuine start of surprise
as I opened the door with my key, aud
found Ransom, my bookkeeper, aclil
busy..' He looked np as though he hod
had been expecting me.
i"Mr. Duane," ho said, "here are some
etters that I think ought to be attend

I sat down and looked the letters
over. The matter waa much more seri

do. I walked over to the hotel where
I lived, packed my satchel, and In an
other bait hour waa waiting In the
station for my train. I took ont aomc
papers I bad brought along with me,
and went over them while I waited.
After a provoking delay the train
pulled ont and soon I ordered my
berth made np and turned In for the
night"-' ;;..-.,,....,,
It was 10 o'clock next day when I arose
and dressed myself. I didn't think to
look out of the window until my toilet
waa completed. I knew about where
we would be at that boar. Already the
f Inks breete ought to be rushing through
the car, and yet It seemed sultry.
I Walked out In search ot somebody
official and met the conductor. . .
'What train la thlsr I asked him,
rather excitedly. '
He looked at me In bewilderment
"Ain't you one of 'emT
"One of what Isn't this the train
to Clinton? Where are we, anyway?"
The conductor looked at me stu
pidly. -
"You didn't offer no ticket," be said
Jlnnlly.
""No.l didn't. I showed the porter
my pas-here It Is-and told him to
tell yon about It, or to take It and
show It to you, and let me go to bed."
"Oh, him!" the conductor said, pluck
ing at' nls beard. "He can't read. He
supposed It was like all the rest
tbeyve all got em."
"All got whatr I fairly shouted at
blm. "What are yon talking about?"
"Young man," said the slow fellow,
solemnly I found out afterward that
he bad been chosen for this mission on
account ot his cnlm nature "you are
on a special train, carrying nurses and
doctors to the fever towns. You are In
quarantined country now, and how you
are going to get back I don't know."
"Oh, 1 11 get back," I gnld, cheerfully.
"Just let me off at the next town, and
I'll find my way back."
"I wouldn't do anything rash, If I
were you," he said.
It was a very still little town where
I stopped. There wai.ouly one other
passenger for that place a slender girl,
with a clever face that looked too
young for A nurse's. I walked briskly
down the empty platform, hot with
sunshine, and exuding a strong, smell
of rosin from tuc new pine if. rot
There was a black slsn over one of (he
closed" doors with "TelogrnpSv-.Otllco"
In white letters. Inshlo there was a
"click, click" of Instruments, but the
door was Iorked.. A nesiro lad came

we were let Into tho aweltering, dusty
little box of a room, which seemed

asked. I found she bad already Intro

Suddenly Miss Martin came running
down the path. ,
"Come in here, quick,' the said,
and went back ahead of me. I fol
lowed her Into an old-fashioned square
house, with a wide ollclothed ball, and
thin balustrade stairs, which she lljht
ly mounted In the room was an old
man who had fallen back on bis pillow,
dead, his face drawn and yoll&w with
the scourge. Standing by bis aide waa
a tall, sallow woman, who I am
ashamed to confess-even In that me
ment presented, herself as a familiar
figure, I bad seen ber counterpart on
the stage bundreds ot time) as the
typical spinster. There were even tbe
glasses and the keys, and tbe bunches
of skimpy curls behind the ears. She
was looking down at her father In a
bard sort of dumbness. .
"Tbe servants have gone," Miss Mar
tin said. "There la nobody to do any
thing. It la lucky you are here."
1 did not stop to contradict her, but
set to work for humanity's sake to do
what I could. . : . ..
One of the sorrows of those times
was that the dead must be bnrled so
quickly, I took a lantern, went out to
tbe burying ground, and bunted "up tbe
family lot Wltb the assistance f a
negro man, whom Miss Martin discov
ered, I dug a grave. We went back to
tbe town and found a coffin, and in the
early summor morning we burled the
dead mam -
As we came out of tbe graveyard I
stopped Fanny Martin. .
"Have you been to the officer 1
asked.
"Tes, Indeed." .
"Well, where my message r"
"There wasn't any." v
-"The deuce!" I said, and Vnlked on
"back with her. The spinster lady lin
gered by her father's grave. Miss Mar
tin seemed Inclined to stay, but I knew
she could do no good there. I took her
by the arm and led ber back to the tel
egraph office, and dictated some mes
sages that would bring answers.
I left her clicking off a long message
to somebody.
It wag almost dark when a knock
came on my door, and the grayish
negro boy put bis head In and followed
It by the rest of his body, currying
a yellow envelope. It was from the

you were a reliable man."
"I am. I am too respectable. She
says I am .'practical.' For example,
she says that all I sA in a yellow fever

continually using standard W "edlcs,
the excruciating aching Just across the

Cuticurjft Brings Blessed Cure to Shin
Tortured Baby and Peace and Rest .
to Its Worn Out Mother. '
It is no wonder that Mrs. Helena Rath was taken sick, .
Single-handed, she did all the housework and washed, cooked and j
-mended for her wtisband, Hans, and their six children. ..After a -plucky
fight to keepTffhcrJfi ry '
in 1902 she took to her bed. WhatfofiowTJWfrtoid toy
who called at her tidy home, No. 821 Tenth Ave., New York C
"I hired a Ar, to mind the chil
- dreo and to do whatever else ahe
. oould- I oouldn't stay in bed loug.
Sick as I was, it waa easier for me
; to orawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones, 80
1 got up after a few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, bat I paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my yoongest, began to
pick and scratch himself. - lie waa
then ten months old, and the girl
! hod paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret
ful and cross, but aa be was cutting
teeth, I dldnt thick much of that
Eren when a rash broke out on his
face 'I wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that lsqiite
common with teething babies. Bcy
eral of my others had it when little,
. and I thought nothing abont it.
" But the rash on Charlie's poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
C and back. I had never seen anyi
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little lumps, and matter
eame out. My baby a skin waa hot,
and n"7 he did Buffer I He wouldn't
eat, and nlht after night I walked
the floor with him, weak as 1 waa.
Often I had to stop because I felt
faint and. my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all waa
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty mrnnfr .
"I believed he had caufrht some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eocmn,
and that is not catching, they told
me. Yes, I gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. I
don't think they were all useless.
Once in a while the itching Seemed
to 14 up a bit, but there was not
mviih change for the better until a
ladyacrosa the street asked me why
-1 iliiln't try the Cuticnra Remedies.
I told her I had no faith in those
thing, you read about in the papers.
She said she didn't want me to go
on faith nor even to spend any
money at first She gave me some
Cuticnra Ointment I think the
box was oxwit half full and a
piece of Cuticura Buap. I followed
