When an infant my body broke
out all over with an eruption or rash
which became more aggravated as I
grew older. Every noted physician
in our section was tried or consult-
ed. When I came of age I visited
Hot Springs Ark. and was treated
by the best medical men but was
not benefited. When all things had
failed I determined to try S. S. S.
and in four months was entirely
cured. The terrible Eczema was ell
gone not a sign left; my general
health built up and I have never had
any return of the disease.

lense abhorrence from ms casK mat ne
had let that first night pass without
performing it. Angry as he was with
her—ill even as he thought of her—
how could he forget that she was a
desolate woman struggling with all her
might to regain a lost position to con-
ceal the past and make a fresh life for
herself in the future; or think with any-
thing but sharpest pain that it was his
hand that was to be lifted to crush her?
Yet he knew that what he had to do
mast be done and he resolved this
second night to do it; and it was he who
an hour after Mr. Dunstan had taken
his leave of her came to her door and
knocked and roused her from her first
stupor of misery.
Sue was still sitting in the same place
where she had been sitting ever since
she had been alone. When Mr. Gilbert
knocked and spoke to her she rose up
half bewildered with—even from the
first moment—a startling foreboding of
what he had to say.
“May I speak to you for a few mo-
ments?” he asked her.
“Mr. Gilbert? Yes” she answered
faintly; and—for he had opened the
door—she waited standing till he had
entered and closed it and sat down
again. The room had suddenly begun
to swim and her knees to tremble un-
der her.
“Will you sit down? I think Iha
been letting the fire go almost out”
said in a strange voice almost like so
one in a dream; and then she did not
try to mend the fire but sat in a rigid
way erect with her hands clasped tight
in one another She had forgotten to
offer any greeting to him—she did not
even know that she had not done it.
“He has come to make it all impossible.
This is my punishment for ever dream-
ing of it.” she only thought as far as
she could be said to think anything at
all.
She had lighted a pair of candles
while Mr. Dunstan had been with her
(for she had said to him with a little
sad smile—“l want to see your face”)
and they were still burning where she
had placed them making a dim light
through the room. They hardly illumin-
ed her black dress but the light from
them touched her hair and the white
face which even before he spoke a word
to her moved him with a pity for her
that he had come into the room with no
desire to feel. How delicate she look-
ed! he thought; and this woman who.
rightly or wrongly had suffered such
bitter things it was to be his work to
stab to the heart!
He took a chair as she told him and
sat down. He was a man whose words
in general were few and his way of ut-
tering them very simple and straight-
forward. He had none of the dexterity
of speech that enables some men and
many women to set their faces to a
painful subject from a long way off
and by fine degrees to approach it more
‘ and more near. Mr. Walkington who
did not like him much said of him
once that he talked like a man dealing
blows with a sledge-hammer. “True
blacksmith’s talk” ne had called it with
a laugh; and George Gilbert himself
knew his own defect and had said to
himself already in regard to this thing
that he had to do witn honest self-de-
preciation—” Almost any one else would
do it better than I shall do it.” But
there was no one to do it except him;
and now he was seated within a couple
of yards of the widow’s chair and the
moment for performing his task wheth-
er it were to be done well or ill had
come.
She had not spoken to him except in
those few words at first and he had to
break the silence. He might have brok-
en it in some indifferent commonplace
way so as not to startle her. but some-
how he could not do this. As he began
to speak the first words that he utter-
ed told her the business he had come
upon.
“I want you to forgive me for what I
am going to do. I have come very un-
willingly to say a few words to you.”
he began in a low grave voice. “You
remember the talk we had together five
months ago? But I need not ask you
that: of course you remember it.”
She had lifted up her head as he began
to *peak as if to listen to him and now
as he paused he met her eyes with their
first frightened look in them—just
such a pitiful look as his heart had
shrunk a score of times already in
Incturing. There was a moment’s si-
ence; then he would have gone on
speaking without waiting for her to an-
swer him yet but all at once she pre-
vented him: for she had read his face
and the words died on his lips as in one
sentence she made all further explana-
tions unnecessary—taking one step
that overleapt them all.
“Then you have known it all the
time!” she said in a short sharp tone
like a cry.
“No—l did not know it when you
spoke to me” he said eagerly. *There
was such intense reproach and pain in
her bitter accusation that he involun-
tarily quickened his voice as he began
to answer her. “Take my word that I
did not deceive you! I told you that I
did not know your story and believe
me I did not know it then. But your
face had alwavs seemed to me like a
face that I had seen somewhere before:
and suddenly that day after you had
left me I remembered how it was that
I knew it.”
Pale as she had been the painful
blood had flushed all over her now: she
had let her eyes drop and only for one
moment after a pause did she lift them
up again with a wild wistful pathos in
them.
“But I do not understand—you were
not in England” she said faintly.
“No. not when—not 1 mean he said
hesitating and as if not knowing how
to choose his words —“not at the time
that you are thinking of. It was not
then that I saw you but long—five
ears ago—one Sunday at church in
Dumfries. ”
“And you remembered afterward?”
she said.
“Yes afterward—when I heard ”
he answered with the same hesitation.
And then they were both silent. She
sat quite still again with her hands
once more clasped on her knees. The
momentary shame of discovery had
brought the blood for a few bitter
seconds to her face but it went slowly
back now and left her white again.
What did shame matter to her any
lunaw —arrant uerhans for his sake?
She had lost everything now; it was ail
over for her; what did this matter at the
end of it?
She said to him presently in a strange
mechanical way almost without any
emotion—-
“ You want to tell other people now
do you not? You have come to warn
me as you promised you would before
you told any one my secret? I always
trusted to your promise even when I
feared you most—for I did fear you at
first you know’. But now you want to
tell it. I wonder if you would wait one
week first?” And then she lifted her
eyes slowly up to him again. “I would
only ask you not to speak for one more
week and then after that—you are a
good man I think and if you saw af-
terward that there was no more use in
doing it—perhaps then you would not
speak at all. I don’t mind very much
I think—only if you would give me
this one week!” ..
She said this in a slow cold almost
dreamy way; and he as was natural
misunderstood her altogether and for
the first time since he had entered the
room lost all pity for her in indigna-
tion. For that slie could calmly Ask
him to give her the advantage of an-
other week's silence that she might
complete her plans (as he understood
her) and make his interference impo-
tent seemed to him the very summit of
audacity. He answered her quickly
with the color in his face—-
“ You can hardly think that I shall be
willing to remain silent for another
week if my doing so should end—as
you seem to nope it may—in making it
useless for me to speak at all. How can
you even ask me such a thing? Heaven
knows Mrs. Hill I have not wanted to
injure you” the young man said earn-
estly. “I have kept your secret faith-
fully till now; but when I see you do-
ing—what you have been doing of late
(you must forgive me if I am forced to
speak plainly); when I see you permit-
ing a man like Mr. Dunstan to become
attached to you while you keep him in
ignorance (for I firmly believe you have
kept him in ignorance) of your past his-
tory—then you force me to interfere
and to warn you that if you do not tell
the truth to him I will tell it.”
“I have told it to him” she said in a
low voice.
He turned upon her sharply and sus-
piciously.
“When did you do it?” he said. “He
did not know it I am certain a couple
of davs ago.”
“I have written it to him” she said
still in the same stony lifeless way. “I
gave him the letter when he was here
to-night. He is going away you know;
he is to read it after he has gone. If
you have no more pity tell it to the
others if you like.” she said wearily.
“As I said I don’t think it matters
much now. I should like them not to
know—and I have never done them any
harm I think and you might be silent
for his sake—if you care for him—be-
cause it would give him pain perhaps;
but still if you think it right it doesn’t
matter much. You see he is so merci-
ful—he isn’t like other men” she said
quietly but with only a kind of half
coherence.
And then he made no answer to her;
he sat not knowing what to answer for
the helpless wandering speech had
moved him in such a strange way.
Was she acting he thought to him-
self or was she really what she seemed
to be—honest and broken-hearted? He
tried to fortify himself against her and
said inwardly—“ She is very clever: if
she thought that a tone like this would
serve her she is quite capable of assum-
ing it;” but then he looked at her and
he could not believe that she was act-
ing. Besides if she had intended to
play a part would she have chosen as
the best to select such a one as this?
Would she not rather have become in-
dignant. and have attempted some de-
fense or some denial of what he charg-
ed her with. or have tried at least to
learn whether or not he believed the
accusations that had been made against
her? But for him or for what he thought
of her she seemed to have no care at all;
such and such facts were true —these
she allowed; one thing it was in his
power to do for her—she asked him to
do it; the rest seemed all as if it was
something she had no concern with—-
something that she did not think of or
care about.
He said to her gravely after a consid-
erable silence—-
“lf you have told your story to Mr.
Dunstan 1 have no right and no desire
to interfere with you any further. Ido
not know that you are called upon to
tell it to any one else but him. For my-
self—if I had known that you had writ-
ten to him before I came to you just
now do me the justice to believe that I
would not have spoken a word to you
or have given you the pain of discover-
ing that I know your secret: but I
thought you had not told him and that
you did not mean to tell him and I care
too dearly for his welfare to believe it
my duty to sit still and see him de-
ceived.”
She looked at him when he said this
but it was only with a dreamy half un-
derstanding look. She seemed as if sho
could not rouse herself enough to fol-
low what he said clearly or to compre-
hend what was in his mind.
“Would it have harmed him not to
know?” she only said slowly after a
moment or two m a curious wistful
way. “He asked me so often to tell
him and I would not. I thought if he
would trust me (and he always trusted
me!)” —this came with a quick pathetic
movement in her voice—“l thought we
might go on quietly without any change;
but he wouldn’t have it so. You think
it was all my fault do you not?” she
asked suddenly. “Yes I see; every one
would condemn me; —and I condemn
myself—hut I had suffered so—and he
was good to me —and I hardly knew till
it was too late.”
She had been so quiet until now but
now all at once her voice broke and
with the remembrance of his tender-
ness she burst into tears.
“Yes—you are right to come and be
angry with me” she said then passion-
ately through her weeping “for I have
hurt him though I did not mean to do
it. Be hard to me if you like: I can
bear that.”
“I do not want to be hard to you.” he
answered in a troubled voice. “You
misunderstand me cruelly if you think
