NOT AFRAID OF A RAT.
Near-sighted Galveston Woman Unaware
of Her Own Courage.

Near-SigIfted Galveston Woman Unaware
of Her Own Courage.
An amusing incident, somewhat on
the order of the story of the ignorant
man who strikes a match in a powder
magazine. is told by leading society
woman of Galveston, Texas. The lady
was brave, although she was not aware
of her own courage. 1t seems that
she, in company with several other
ladies, called on a mutual friend who
has a bright little 6-year-old, whom
she wished to show off before her visit
ors. The precocious lad has leaning
toward elocution, and his fond man.
ma lost no time in apprising her callers
of his powers in that direction. They,
of course, asked to hear some of his
work and he began reciting that char
acteristic sketch of James Whitcomb
Riley's entitled, "Seein' Things" Just
as the boy reached the lines reading
'I'm not Altered OF rats an mice an
things at girls is skeered Of" an enor-
nous rat darted across the room
toward a convenient hole. The ladies,
except the one about whom this story
is told, screamed, jumped on chairs
and tables, gathered their skirts around
them and made every effort to con-
vince everybody interested that they
had no desire to form the acquaint-
ance OF the rodent. The other lady
who, by the way, is nearsighted, sat
quietly in her rocker with smile of
appreciation on her face. When the ex-
element had subsidized she calmly re-
marked that 1t was very good" much
to the mystlfication OF her companions.
II developed that she thought that the
small boy had thrown a toy rat on
the floor and that his mother and the
other callers were assisting to make
the. performance realistic. Neverthe-
less, she is regarded as quite heroine
by bsr friends, among whom the story,
of course, has been circulated.

INTERNATIONAL pREss ASSOCIATION.

whose opinions he valued turn to look
at his wife; he heard her name whis-
pered; he saw admiring glances follow
her; he felt that amongst fair pink
and-white English girls she looked like
some southern queen. But the knowl-
edge of all this did not in the least
warm his heart to her. And she? She
had ceased to feel any great interest
in his opinion. The time had been
when she would perhaps have stood
before him, and have said, Il hope you
are pleased with me, Lord Caraven."
She would not now; she was proudly
superbly Indifferent. Indeed she
would have given much for the i'm
pulse, the desire to please him. 1t had
faded away-died of neglect.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
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 inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eus-
taChian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when IL is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition hearing will be DESTROYED forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces

Hildred spoke at last-the valet had
dis0reetly disappeared.
81 had no idea that you stayed out
so late" she said graysly. 81 do not
think 1t is right"
IF were YOU" returned her hus-
band, 81 would not waste any time in
thinking about it. You know the old
song:
1.-The best Of all ways to lengthen our
days
Is to steal few hours from the night,
my DEAR"
cit must be hard for your servants"
she said, though perhaps very de-
lightful to yourself"
you forget our compact, Hildred,"
he said, his face clouding. You go
your way, and l go mine; but l will
allow no interference; my outgoings
and incomings have nothing to do with
you-do not forget"
II do not forget" she told him,
haughtily.
81 will never allow anyone to make
any comment upon my actions" he
said. II please myself and 1 always
shall"
81 make no comment" rejoined his
wife.
He recovered his good humor-it
was impossible to look at her and 60
otherwise.
1--WE both, it appears, steal a few
hours from the night, but mine are
taken from the beginning, yours from
the end Good morning, Hildred," and
the next moment she was standing in
the hall alone.
1t was not until dinner time the same
day that she saw her husband again,
and then he did not look very we'll
pleased.
Mildred" he said, sharply, II hope
you do not intend to repeat this morn
ing's performance. If you want books,
take them upstairs with you. 1t is
like a scene from a French drama to
open the hall door and find ones wife
waiting there"
1T was quite an accident" she re-
piled. How can you imagine it to
have been otherwise?"
He appeared rather ashamed OF his
harshness.
81 have heard so many Stories" he
said. II thought perhaps that some
one had been telling you that I spent
whole nights at billiards, and that you
wished to find out for yourself whether
it was true"
you do not understand me-" she
returned, haughtily, "if you think that
l would allow any one to speak evil Of
you to ME-"
He looked pleased.
That is right" he said. 81 see 1t
was accidental. Do not let it occur
again, Hildred. l should not like it..
After all, you know, liberty of action
is the one great thing. l will let no
one interfere with mine"
81 can assure you, Lord Caraven,"

dear Hildred," he said, 81 congratulate
you. How beautiful you look! You
were born to be a countess"
"Then was born for very little pur-
pose," she replied hastily.
He would not notice the petulent re-
ply.
81 must repeat that you look very
beautiful, indeed, my dear child" he
said. 81 am urprised-gratified."
II am glad that you are pleased" she
replied. He was her father, and she
was compelled to honor him; but she
felt that she could never forgive him
for having sold her-sold her for a
title"
81 think, my dear" said Arley Ran
some, nervously, that it would be
quite well If you could try TOTO look
a little bright. You do not look happs.
How Is it?"
did you ever expect that I should
be happy, papa?"
"Of course. Most certainly you have
everything to make you so.'
She made no reply. The lawyers
eyes glistened with keenst satisfaction
as he looked at her.
1T is a proud day for me-" he said
the day on which see my daugh-
ter in her court-dress. Throw down
the train; let me see the full effect"
Without a smile on her face she
complied, standing before him, calm.

ment the earl, not knowing she was
there, entered the room. lie stared at
the lovely apparition.
Mildred, did not believe that you
were here. You are ready, see."
"Quite ready" she replied, briefly.
Then we will start at once" he
said.
Arley Ransome went up 20 him.

he said. THE most beautiful woman
