ny local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that iS by constitutional re- medies. Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor- ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inhamed con dition of the mucous surfaces.

As he iS a constant attendant at the courts He likes to ventilate himself and give his opinion to other dogs that meeklv attend court with their masters He carried the point too far last week and made such devil of row that Judge Baker had him up for contempt of court and he was ignominiously thrown into jail for twenty-Four hours. Mel Greenleaf had & circus when taking him to jail. The way that fox terrier expressed himself in chaste dog cussins was a caution. It was too funny.

Golding saw e lonely camp in the wilds of
Mashonaland, wherein a Union and con-
feoerate soldier lay battling with the silent
eremy, fever. 1t was a case of sick caring
fer the sick. There was no other white
man, for aught they knew, within hun
dreds Of miles. These two who had fought
one another upon the field of battle, each
summoning death as his ally, now faced
the grim destroyer with fortunes and hopes
hound together. He had no terrors for
them, but in his presence, with his damp
breath upon their hot brows, words were
spoken that might have remained unuttered
had further life seemed possible.
Nature prevailed, and in due time death
withdrew, relinquishng for a period the
claim he held upon these two soldiers. The
condolences of that solemn hour, when dis
solution seemed imminent, were never re-
ferred 10 by either. They had been life
secrets. and Willie life endured, so should
the secrets.
1t was in this spirit that Golding had dis
missed the story told to him in half de-
lirium by his partner. Freeman Dutton. In
his own fever the details had not made an
over-clear impression. and now after a
lapse of years he strove almost in vain to
recall them. In spite, however, of the haze
through which he saw again that scene in
the African wilderness, in spite of the con-
fusion in which buttons words came back

sion, and Warren was stirred by it, not only
to self-defense but to all the fury Of ag-
gressive combat.
Goldirg made a feint with his spade as If
he would catch his enemy in the abdomen,
and as he saw from Warren's eyes that
such a blow would be PARTED he Instantly
changed his maneuver and thrust straight
for Warren's face. The Granite farmer,
however, was as keen in reading his ad-
versary's intentions In ms eyes and up ne
brought his spade, catching and raising 1t
so that Goldng's blade famed his face, but
did not touch it. At the same instant Gold
ing being momen tarily unguarded, Warren
thrust forward with both hands upon the
handle of his spade and landed it with
great force upon Goldings chest.
Golding gasped violently and staggered
back Warren, had he been younger, might
then have followed his advantage and laid
out his enemy with single swinging blow,
but although he was not an old man, years
of farm work had stiffened his muscles, and
before he could accomplish this movement
Golding had recovered and was at him
again.
The vigor with which he had begun the
combat and the skill and strength with
which Warren had resisted, made both men
wary, and for moment they faced each
other, feinting and watching. The edges
of their spade blades clicked and ting
tanged as they spared Tor openings, and,
when Golding thought he saw one, he bore

again to thrust toward his face.
Again Warren parted the thrust and again
the spades hung together for a second,
while each tried to disarm the other. Then
they broke away and each retreated a pace,
for each had come to have high respect
for the others power, ard the exertion had
so far cooled their passions that they We're
inclined to combine caution with attack.
And in that instant off unlntended truce
each man saw the blind folly of their fight.
With his eyes still on Warren and every
nerve prepared for further conflict If neces-
Warren remained standing, with his spade
leaned upon it, breathing heavily, while
Warren remained standing with is spade
half raised, his attitude one OF defense.
Haven't we had about enough Of this?'
asked Golding.
Speak for yourself" retorted Warren.
You haven't made me holler.'
For an instant it seemed as if Golding
would be provoked by this taunt into renew
ing hostilities. His fingers clutched his
spade handle convulsively and his brows
contracted ominously. Better sense pre-
vailed, however, and he responded:
I'm not holering myself. If you want
more fight you can have 1t.
II didn't begin it, said Warren by way
of acknowledging that he didn't care to
continue.
You fight like soldier" remarked Gold
ing.

ly. Il fought all through the war;
Il might have known 1t by the way you
handled your spade. 'Tisn't quite like

that the catch-all had been emptied with

house were probably now asleep. and he
could search under the window unobserved.
