HOW TO HtAL
SKIN-DISEASES
A Baltimore doctor suggests this
timple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggist's get a jar
k of resinol ointment and a cake of resi
nol soap. These will not cost a bit
more than seventy-five cents. With
the resinol soap and warm water, bathe
the affected parts thoroughly, until
they are free from crusts and the skin
Is softened. Dry very gently, spread
on a thin layer of the resinol ointment,
ajid cover with a light bandage—if
necessary to protect the clothing. This
should be done twice a day. Usually
the distressing itching and burning
stop with the first treatment, and the
skin soon becomes clear and healthy
again.—Advertisement.

IT RUINS HAIR TO
WASH IT WITH SOAP
Soap should ho used very spar
ingly, if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con
tain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
Just ordinary mulsified eocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
later, which rinses out easily, re
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified eocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and a few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.—Adver
tisement.

■*-
Sbe knew that when her absence was
certain both Mr. Reynolds and Sir Don
ald would come after her.
Night came, and she was still push
ing on. though hungry and weary. In
the dnrkness she perforce kept to open
paths, and it was on one of these that
i panting native found her.
"Achmet!" she whispered when he
raised bis contorted face to hers.
In a few words he told her what had
happened. She said curtly. "1 know
ibat. Where is he?"
Sir Donald's former servant looked
at her and remembered the strange
ness of things dpne by white women
He led the way back toward the hut,
muttering now and again of the ter
rible things be had seen.
And while Ruth was thus defying all
precedent and going to the aid of the
man sbe loved Wilkerson bad found
himself again hemmed in, cut off In
the darkness from escape to the city.
Though he and Dorr had driven the
hillinen a wnv from the hut and quench
ed their eagerness of assault, tbey still
hovered in the little gullies, and on ev
ery hand the fugitive found himself
confronted by a beard but unseen en
emy.
He stole back to the hut and peered
in. John was still bound in the chair,
and Drake's body lay huddled on the
floor.
He made his preparations quickly,
piling some dried grass and fine rub
bish against one corner of the hut.
When the pile was once alight he
dumped some powder on It and ran
swiftly away, hiding a few hundred
. ards back.
The 'but took tire slowly, but the
glare accomplished his purpose. It
slowly drew the watchers toward It.
Satisfied that no one would be spy
ing on him now, but that all would
have eyes only for the fire, he set
forth quickly, careless of the ?act that
Johu Dorr must be burning ilive.
In the darkness be passed Achmet
and Ruth.
The blaze bad almost estirely en
veloped the hut when Buth Anally
staggered In and with a sob of Joy
cut John's bonds and half dragged blm
through the swirling smoke Into the
open.
When she had done this she prompt
ly fainted.
The smoldering embers were send
ing up blue spirals of smoke Into the
morning sky when Consul Reynolds
and Sir Donald spurred their wearied
horses up to where John and Achmet
squatted with Ruth between them,
still but dimly cousclous.
Dorr briefly explained his experi
ences and related how Ruth bad sud
denly appeared, just as he had given
up hope.
Sir Donald, kneeling by Ratb's side,
merely patted her hand.
The next morning Mrs. Reynolds laid
down the law in set terms to the party
assembled around the breakfast table.
"You must get this young lady back
to America," she said, "papers or no
papers V
John and Sir Donald nodded without
glancing at each other.
Thus it was that n couple of days
later old Tom Kane at the "Master
Key" mine received a cablegram read
ing:
Wilkerson Darnell aboard steamship Pa
cific: Frisco. 30th. with papers. We fol
low next steamer. DORR.
Thus it was that the struggle be
tween Wilkerson and John DOIT was
again transformed to the valley in
which lay the "Master Key" mine.
Wilkerson and Jean Darnell, with
the precious papers in their possession,
slipped away hurriedly, taking the first
steamer that sailed.
He bad told ber about Drake's death,
though nnable to say bow it bad hap
pened. Privately be bad no regrets.
The young man had served his pur
pose, and it was by no means doubtful
that Mrs. Darnell would have seen to
it that he had his reward, for she
liked bim as much as it was In ber
nature to care for any man, be thought
"He was an awfully good sort," she
said to Wilkerson one night as they
leaned over the rail and watched the
long swells from the bow speed fan
wise Into the infinity of the sea.
"Yes, the fellow had bis good points,"
be admitted.
"I miss him.'* she said simply. Later
the added thoughtfully, "1 think be
was In love with me."
Wilkerson laughed.
Mrs. Darnell glanced at blm with an
expression strange ou ber handsome
face. "Yes. 1 am sure he loved me."
"In vain." he returned lightly.
"1 don't know whether it might hare
been wholly In vain after all," she
murmured. "Life has given me little
love of that kind, it seems as If I
had always been a woman who for
mere seit protection could not let any
one love me or let mvseif love him."
Hurrah! Dance All Day!
My Corns All Gone!
It's a corker, the best wrinkle ever
devised, and one that's safe, sure, de
pendable and painless.
Corn troubles are over, foot lumps
fade away fast, you get just what you
need once you paint the sore spots
with old reliable Putnam's Corn Ex
tractor.

tive power, but after nearly 50 years

M 1 should not have let yoji love hlm, M ■
was the quiet response. "I have strug
gled too hard and fought too long for
you to allow any one else to have,
you."
"And what does your love amount
to, after all. Harry?" she asked. "Tell i
me plainly. Has it done either of us
any good? Will it ever do ua any !
good?"
Wilkerson stared out at the dark sea. ;
and biR face grew slowly very cruel. j
"Good?" he repeated. "Ail that 1 !
know is that I love you more than
anything else in the universe. You
love luxury and jewelry and gold and
silk. Because I know what you love I
am trying to get It for you, because I i
want you more than I want anything
else. I—l think we are even."
"Even?" she said In a suddenly
strained voice. "Yes, we are even—
you the felon und the murderer, I the
receiver of stolen goods, stolen bappl- ;
ness, stolen life, stolen gold!"
When they finally reached San Fran- !
Cisco Wilkerson found her oddly dls- j
trait. She did not know whether to
go to the mine or to return to New
York.
Oue moment she was in a tigerish
rage; the next hour she was staring at
the fog haunted hills wltb eyes that
saw nothing.
He stormed and argued to no pur
pose. He recalled to her constantly
the fact that he had tbe deeds, the
master key itself, the plans of the lo
cation of tbe mother lode.
She either listened listlessly or drove ;
him away with furious upbrnidings.
Yet In the end sbe accompanied "lim ;
to Silent Valley.
It was a hitter moment for old Tom !
Kane when tbe stage drove up and '
Wilkerson and Mrs. Darnell got out in
stead of John Dorr and Ruth.
He had hoped against hope, and now !
his dreams were in ashes, fdr Wilker- ■
son instautly took charge, tbe men, as
Tom put it to himself, followed the
paymaster, and so far as outward ap
pearance went the "Master Key" mine
was firmly in Wllkerson's possession.
Mrs. Darnell here proved herself the j
shrewder mind. Though sbe was little :
seen, her influence was potent.
And more than anything else sbe j
worked on Wilkerson so that he did
not use tbe plans and open up the :
rich vein.
"Wait," she told him. "Don't beii- s
patient. Our whole power here is in
the fact that we have the secret. Once
that Is public we'll likely lose every
thing."
"But we ought to be at work before
Dorr gets back," he would argue.
"Yes. and every court in the land
will help him to regain this mine and
its wealth. Don't you see? Compro
mise!"
"Compromise!" he repeated dully.
"Yes, you fool!"
"But bow?"
"Wait—wait till John and Ruth get
back. They'll be glad enough to buy
those plans. Harry."
When John Dorr and Ruth arrived
on the following steamer Everett met
them at the pier and told them tbe
news as be had gathered it from faith
ful Tom Kane, whom Jean Darnell bad
insisted should resume bis duties as
cook, sagely observ ing to Wilkerson
that tt would be well for them to bav.i
a witness whose veracity Dorr would
not impugn.
Settled in the hotel. Dorr briefly re
cited the experiences of tbe past
months and then bluntly asked. "What
are we to do?"
Everett was ready with his answer,
"Compromise!"
The dull red flooded John's face, and
be bit bis lip. Had all his work gone
for nothing?
Everett laid a friendly hand on his
knee. "Now listen," he said gravely.
"Here is Miss Ruth minus her key,
practically ousted from possession of
her property and, if we arc not mis
taken, unable to lay her hands on her
most precious inheritance—the plans of
the mother lode. They're in Wllker
son's possession."
"And he's digging tbe gold night and
day!" John buret out.
With a swift glance to reassure Ruth,
who sat in mournful silence. Everett
went on:
"That Is the shrewd part of Wllker
son's play. He knows that the law
will give Miss Ruth here back her mine
and all that it contains. It would
take time, but as sure as we are sit
ting here, and no one knows It better
than he—Justice would strip him of ev
ery 111 gotten cent and send him to
prison with his accomplice. So what
does he do? Hastily uncover the real
prise? No. He conceals It still and
merely works the original mine."
"But we can put him out of father's
mine, can't we?" demanded Ruth.
"And when we do we shall still be
no wiser as to the location of the real
gold. All our trouble and expense will
have gone for naught. Wllkerson will
still hold the secret of the 'Master
Key.* "
"And how are we going to get It
from blin?" demanded Dorr, clinching
his fist
Everett smiled. "By baying it from
him."
"He will ask millions!"

MILIMY CODE
WILL BE PUSHED
Legislators in Charge Plan to Get
Action Soon After the Recess
Is Finished
No time is to be lost by the chair
men of the military committees of the
Senate and House in securing action
on the proposed military code and the
bill will probably be among the first
to be taken up after the recess ends
on March 1. Adjutant General Thomas
J. Stewart is in readiness to appear
before the committees to explain its
provisions and to inform the members
of the desires of the National govern
ment to have an act in this State
which will make the organized militia
of Pennsylvania a complete division
with all of the auxiliary arms of the
service. The War department officials
have been anxious to have Pennsylva
nia pass this law because it will be
an example for other States and also
permit the formation of the additional
units of the infantry, artillery and
other branches of the service.
Uncle Sam will provide the funds for
the additional batteries, although it is
doubtful If they will be organized im
mediately unless an emergency, not
now anticipated, turns up. It costs a
large amount of money for each bat
tery but to make the Keystone State
complement complete eight additional
batteries would have to be formed.
The biennial appropriation to the
Guard will depend upon action on
the code as provision will have to be
made for maintenance of the organi
zations. The appropriation now in
hand calls for the same amount as last
session, but It can be amended.
Thus far no opposition has appeared
to the proposition that the Gover
nor should appoint officers above sec
ond lieutenant, which makes the most
radical change.
VETERAN EDITOR WHO SIPPORTED
OITH IX CIVIL WAR DAYS DIES
Special to The Telegraph
Selinsgrove, Pa., Feb. 22. Franklin
Weirick, former proprietor and editor
of the Selinsgrove Times, first publish
ed in Selinsgrove in the year 1 80S as
a Democratic organ, died at his home
here yesterday at the age of 86 years.
For the last thirty years the Times has
changed owners and editors many
times and Is at present the only Demo
cratic organ in bnyder county.
Franklin Welricks career as editor
of the Times was as unique as it was
financially successful. From the be
ginning of the .Civil War until its
"lose, Mr. Weirlck's criticism editorial
ly of the cause of the North was bitter
and severe in the extreme. He was
known as a Copperhead and Southern
sympathizer, and the columns of his
weekly paper bristled with a tirade of
abuse or President Lincoln and General
Grant and the cause of the North in
general. Upon many ocqpislons his life
was threatened upon the streets of
Selinsgrove for his radical stand in
favor of the South.
SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL
Special lo The Telegraph
Blain, Pa., Feb. 22.—The Rev. Gid
eon P. Sarvis, former pastor of the
Blain Methodist Episcopal Church, Is
having a very successful revival at
Blandburg. Pa., where he went a year
ago. There have been 115 conver
sions and the meeting is going on with
increased Interest. About GO of the
( ccnverts have united with the church.
YOUNG COMMENDS
ECONOMY REPORT
Tener's Commission Recommenda
tions Meet With Approval in
a Number of Cases
A number of the recommendations
of the State Economy and Efficiency
Commission, one of the investigations
made during the gubernatorial ad
ministration of John K. Tener, are
highly commended by State Treasurer
Robert K. Young in an interview given
to-day. The State Treasurer, who for
merly served as auditor general and
who has been a member of the State
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings for some time, praises the recom
mendation that the State carry its own
insurance.
The thing that he most highly com
mends is the suggestion that the Gov
ernor should not be inaugurated at the
start of a legislative session but that
a later date should be chosen. This
suggestion has met with much favor
among the legislators and if the pro
ject for a new constitution takes shape
It is probable that an effort to change
the date may be made.
Mr. Young also commends State
civil service, for which, a bill is now
being drawn by the State Civil Service
Association to submit to Governor
Martin G. Brumbaugh and a system of
State pensions. The latter is covered
by a bill just introduced into the Sen
ate.
