"1 shouldn't be at all surprised, said
one.
"Nor 1, either" from the other.
Now that was not much for Jane to
hear. though the two ladies seemed to
think it a great deal for them to say for
| they looked at each other and nodded,
| and pressed their lips together as if they
were thinking dreadful things. Then they
began to speak again-this time in whis-
pers.
Jane was in agonies of curiosity. She
| would have given any money, had she
possessed it, to be able to hear. She
! twisted herself this way and that, put her
ear close to the opening, and even leaned
! through a little she sched all over with
! the way she had to crouch; she worked
! this way and that. By-and-by she caught
another bit of the conversation.
"Mrs. Smith says she watched, and
after awhile she saw him 60 in, go to
the"
/ Here the lady stopped and listened.
"Wel2" said Miss Mills.
81 thought l heard some one"
She had; for in bending eagerly for
ward Jane had made a slight noise.
"Oh, go on It's nothing" said Miss
"
"She saw him go the sideboard," re-
sumed her friend, stake a bottle out of
the lower closet, and-Goodnessl what's
that?"
Both jumped up al the loud knock,
tumble, bump and scream they heard;
and running into the passage, found Jane
lying at the foot of the stairs, almost
senseless.
If she had jumped up and shown her
self only a little hurt, her aunt would
have punished her, for it was plain that
she had been listening but there she lay,
perfectly still.
They got her up and called help, and
presently she came to-. But such a sight!
Her face was covered with blood from
her nose, andsthere was a big lump on the
side of her forehead. They said nothing
to her about listening, for they thought
she wa sufficiently punished.
After a doctor had been called they
found how severely she had been pun
ished. Her nose was broken. So Jane
had to go through life with her nose sunk
down in the middle, and her face spoiled,
just because she was curious to know
what did not concern her, and because
she INDUCED in the mean habit of listen
ing. She never hears anything said
about little pitchers without thinking, not
of their large ears, but of one broken
nose. But l think the break cured her
Of listening.
The moral of my story is: Let the little
pitchers look out for their noses.

A very pretty story is told of a boy
who was n day sailing a boat with a
playmate much older than himself. The
boat sailed out Of reach and the larger boy

"Who's she? 2"

stood before her, and she thought of ner
own lost darling.
"Now, dear, we are to be friends, you
know" said Mrs. W., as they sat down
together in the beautiful library, "and I
don't ever know your name"
"Mother named me Chrysanthea, and
they call me Chriss. You see I was born
in October, the same as the flowers, and
I suppose that made her think of the
name, I was only two years old when
she died"
1.-TWO years odd" the words sent a
pang through the mothers heart. She
sighsd heavily, then crossed the 0 and
took a portrait from the table and gave it
into Chriss' hands. 1t was that of a dear
little dimpled girl, with N upturned,
laughing face.
"My daughter" Mrs. W. said.
"Oh, have you a daughter2 What .
pretty child" Then seeing the sad,
troubled look in her friends face she
threw herself on her knees and buried her
head in Mrs. WIS lap. After that they
were more than friends. A sweet sense
of peace flooded Mrs. WIS motherly
heart as she held that girlish form in her
arms and passed her fingers through the
dark clinging curls, and bit by bit she
learned all the cruel loss that young heart
had suffered, unconscious of how it re-
vealed the very depths of an unsullied
nature of the tenderest kind.
What wonder if Mrs. w. thought ooh,
heart of goldl if she could only be my
daughter, indeed!" And so it came to
pass that the very next year, when the
chrysanthemums were in full bloom,
Frank Wainwright led his bride to the
little village church.
Old Rachel brings their children often
now to the spot where their mother used
to watch her flowers in her desolate child
hood, and as she smiles at their pretty,
chubby faces the old woman murmurs to
herself:
"She's happy now, and it's natural she
should be. She's got something better
than flowers to care for now. God bless

all tobacco is sold upon its merits. We have
the full support of the buyers of this market,
and the great saving in charges is such that

n went very slowly and softly out of
the room, closing the doer gently behind
her, but her heart was full. Her sons
was silent now and as she passed the
kitchen window she did not look I'D and
nod as usual.
She went quietly out to the dollhouse
q selecting a small towel knelt down
beside the white chrysanthemums and be-
gan loosening the roots with tender, pa
tent hands.
"She would have come to look" she
murmured, as she glancrd off to where the
white shaft of her mothers tomb arose.
"She would have understood, perhaps
she Will understand now if I say a little
prayer"
Two hot tears fell on the pure blossoms
as she gathered them up in her apron, but
they were not bitter tears, she was too
young for that. She walked quickly
across the fields that separated the bury
l~ng-ground from the house, and soon was
by her mothers grave. A field lark was
chirping; the golden rod had brushed
her cheeks as she passed, her heart grew
lighter, n she sang under her breath a
sweet old-fashioned hymn.
At last the flowers were planted and
she turned to go.
A young man with a sketch book IN
der his arm stood aside to let her pass.
She looked up in time to see him remove
his hat, and encountered a pair of dark
brown eyes. She colored, and went On
with qulckened steps, conscious of her
soiled apron and earth begrimed fingers.
He stood looking after her, sull with
his head barred. He was an artist, the
sight Of the young girl kneeling by the
grave had appealed to his senses.
He had seen the monument from a dis
lance and had come to inspect it, without
an idea OF intruding; there he had seen her,
had sent one look into those sweet, flow
erIike eyes, and had let her go without one
work OF apology. He saw her enter the
farmhouse and then retraced his steps,
reading first the inscription on the monu-
ment:
Sacred to the memory Of

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear {.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infisned con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in>
tammation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi>
ton of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh }

Etruria carried him off on Saturday, amid
the waving of friendly handkerchiefs on the
dock and ocular good-bys from his custom

come down to the pier and see him of
Now They Know Why He Went.
Some how or other the seed of suspicion
was sown Sunday, and when the customers
got down to the office at 10 O'Clock Monday
morning they began to draw checks on their
cash balances. l. NJ Freese, whom Mr.. Carr
had always referred to as his general man
ager, simply said that he could not honor the
checks because he had no money, and the
confidential clerk and bookkeeper Of the con-
Germ confirmed Mr. Freese's statement.
He Took $4,000 with Him.
What the situation is at present it is pretty
difficult to say. There were two or three
dozen regular customers, and they say their
losses range from $500 to $1,000 How much
the losses are all told cannot now be estk
mated. But the amount will not be less than
$40, 900. Thirty thousand dollars of this, it
is said, he squandered before his departure.
The other $4,000 he took away with him.
Carr had smaller customers than those I'm
New York, and they were located all through
the neighboring country and invested money
with him in response to seductive circulars
which he was in the habit of mailing twice a
month in very large quantities.
Cheerful Facts from His Bookkeeper.
The bookkeeper cheeriully explained that
Mr.. Carr had simply conducted bucket
shop business, and that the orders he re-
ceived from his customers were never exc
cutsd. There was a pretense Of executing
them over a telephone in the office connected
with the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum
exchange, but no actual transactions ever
occurred. The man at the other end, the
bookkeeper averred, was petroleum ex-
change broker named George d. Bancroft,
who received the orders, entered them in his
book, accepted 81 on every 100 shares, but
never bought or sold anthng.
Went Abroad for His Health"
Mr. Carr also operated in the market him
self, and as he had been a bear for some
time, and the market has been distinctly
bullish in tone with prices steadily advanc-
ing, as a matter of course he came to grief,
found that his bank account was running
dangerously low, and came to the conclusion
that the only way to get out safely was TO
get out quickly, and this is what he has
done He told the confiding customers who
came down to see him off that he was only
going over for a little trip on account of his
month, but the customers now are of the
opinion that Mr. Carr was not telling the
truth.
