YOUR HEARING.
Is it Gradually Growing DullerP-
Catarrh Causes it-Stop
it Now.

Mr.. Peterson's case illustrates the
danger of allowing these troubles to
run on, and should be carefully read
by everyone.
A very large per cent of these eases
of deafness and roaring noises is due
to the extension of catarrh to the
eustachian tubes and inner ears.
Many of the most remarkable cures
that have been accomplished by the
physicians of the Scott Medical In
stitute have been in the restoration
of hearing lost or dulled from ca
tarrhal extension. 1t is folly to wait
for a trouble like this to get well it
self. 1t don't get well, but always
gets worse. until frequently the hear
ing is entirely destroyed. \ thor
ough course Of treatment with a ca
pablc specialist, who goes right at
the cause of tho trouble and removes
it, is the only hope.
DR.. Wilson and his medical assO-
ciates cure all cases of deafness
caused by catarrh.

In swinging do SO early in the forenoon and early in the afternoon. Don't let your plants go to bed wet overhead. But remember while begonias love moist atmosphere they hate syringe; so do cacti and sue culents generally.

 "Why, my boy" said NJ. Dumont, ''you arc master hero now, and even were it not so never have and never will turn any poor, starving creature from my door. Give her all she needs for tonight, and tomorrow we will see if she is well enough to continue her jour ney."
 The dancing was now over. Those guests who remained for the dinner went indoors with NJ. Dumont, and the re mainder went Some. Presently serv- ant brought the poor woman some din her, which she ate at table not very far from where the two men had been sitting. She did not look like common beggar-this womau-t-e:e was an air about her of one who had seen better days. Her clothes, though GOT, were carefully mended and sCrupulously clean. She spoke correctly in low. soft voice.
 What could be seen of her hair under the closely tied foulard she wore on her head was of snowy whiteness, in strange contrast to well defined dark eyebrows and large dark eyes, rendered more shad- owy still by the hollows which grief and want had carved around them. She could not have been much over middle age, though at the first glance her white hair made her seem older. She had long finished her dinner, of which she had eaten but sparingly, and now sat, her head supported by her hand, buried in thought. Sad indeed must have been the thoughts which could impart so deep a melancholy as that which overcast her face.
 As she sat there motionless the two strangers came back into the courtyard. RemOnd, always on his guard, paused as he caught sight of the woman, whose ar rival he had not noticed during the dance. Making q sign to his companion to remain still, he advanced cautiously behind her and managed to see her face without being seen. But at the first glance he recoiled with look of terror, while it needed all his self control to enable him to suppress an ejaculation.
 What is it:' said Bertrand, who had seen him recoil.
 "Nothing!' he replied.
 Then let us go. It is time to be on the road"
 Presently. Let us sit hero a little longer" and as he spoke the thought surged through his brain: ''Is it possible? Can it be possible?'
