CHAPTER VIII.
THE PORTRAIT.

Sprague was seated before his easel
arranging his palette fDr the morn
ing's work. The unfinished portrait Of
Agnes Murdoch looked down upon him
with eyes of living beauty. Occasional

touch upon the glowing canvas and

.wesd retire tea distance to note with
a critical eye the new effect. Then he
would consult his watch in nervous i'm
patience; and, going to the window,
he would glance anxiously up and
down the street. Once or twice the
rumble of wheels caused him to look
up in glad expectancy, which gradual
ly gave way to gloomy discomfort as
the noise died away in The distance.
At length hope seemed to depart al
together from the young mans breast.
He threw down his brushes, gave up all
pretense of work and drifted off into a
brown study. His eyes, fixed upon
those of the portrait, had troubled
look in them-so troubled that it was
clearly out of all proportion to the
professional disappointment of paint
er kept waiting for a fair subject.
So absorbed did he become in his
gloomy meditations, that, when at last
a carriage stopped before the house,
the artist did not hear it. But when,
presently, a gentle tap sounded upon
the door of the studio, he. sprang to his
feet as if he had received an electric
shock. - -
Perhaps he had; for it was followed
by rapid current of delicious thrills
tingling through every nerve and eff
fecting in his whole being sudden
and marvellous Transformation. At
once the furrowed brow was smooth;
the dropping lips were wreathed in
smiles; the troubled look gave way to
one of glad welcome.
For she had come at last. There she
stood, with laughing brown. eyes and
glowing cheeks, when Sprague threw
open .the.door. Alas, as usual, she was
accompanied by her maid. Never mind;
was it not enough to have her there at
all, to bask in the sunshine of her
smile, to look into the dangerous
depths of those soul-stirring eyes, to
listen to the ripping of her silvery
voice?
"Ifear am little late, Mr.. Sprague;
I am sorry to have kept you waiting.
But you see this is how it was"
What mattered it to him now how it
was? Was she not there? An eternity
of suspense and misery would have
been wiped out by that single entran-
cling fact. Her words beat upon his ear
like rapt urous melody; he drank them
in, hardly conscious of their meaning.
Agnes Murdoch, followed by her
maid, proceeded at once to the dress
ing-room set apart for the use of the
artists models. When she returned,
dressed for the sitting, she assumed I'M
der Sprague's directions the pose of the
portrait, while the artist critically ar
ranged Der draperies and adjusted the
shades and screens.
The maid had remained in the dress
ing-room.
"And SO these are positively the last
final touches, are they, Mr.. Sprague?"

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, ane that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
muscuous lining of the Eustachian 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 inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, heoring will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an infla-

STAR plsIANces.

Probably you know that the stars are
suns, and that they look like mere shin-
ing points OF light because they are 90
far away. The nearest 10 30 far that q
cannon shot fired In Adams time from
the Garden Of Eden, and flying coutinu-
ally with undlminlshed speed, would
even now hardly have started on its
Journey. II would be as II train bound
for another town had just pulled well
out Of the station.
On . summer evening you may see
Arcturus high up In the south or south
west In June or July, and farther down
In the west In August or September.
You will know Il by Its red color. That
star has been flying straight ahead ever
since astronomers began TO observe Il, ut
such q speed that It would run from New
York to Chicago 10 small fraction OF a
minute. You would have to be spry to
rise from your chair, put on your hat
and overcoat and gloves and 60 out on
the street while II was crossing the At
lantic Ocean from New York to Liver
pool. Aud yet II you should watch that
star all your life, and live AS long rs
Methuselah, you would not be able to
see that Il moved at all. The journey Il
would make In q thousand wears would
be as nothing alongside It's distance.
Many, perhaps most, OF the stars are
really much larger and brighter than the
sun. Campus, as It appears tn US, Is the
second brightest star In the heavens. Ii
never rises In our northern ATTITUDES; TO
see IL well you would have to 60 at least
as far south az the Gulf States. Al
though II shines to Us only as q very
bright star, Ii Is really thousands OF
times "a bright az the sun. II our earth
should ~ AS near to II as II IL to the sun,
the whole sky would seem tn he sblsze,
aud everything combustible on the
esrth's surface-forests, houses and
fences be burned By the fervent
heat as II thrown into hot fire. But
the distance Of Campus Is immeasurably
great, 30 that astronomers have not been
able to learn anything certain about L.
The most interesting conclusion from
this Is that Campus, although u Ia only
star In the sky, Is really thousands oil
times brighter than the SUI.
Campus is not the only star OF which
this Is true. Rigel, In the constellation
Orion, Is u star of the first magnitude:
yet its distance Is beyond all that the
most powerful Instruments OF astronomy
can fathom. There may be yet other
stars ten thousand times as bright az the
SUI, and yet so far away that We do not
see them as very bright stars.
There are now about sixty stars oil
whose distance astronomers have been
able to get some idea. The distances OF
few Of the nearest OF these have been
measured with some approach to exact.
ness, but the farther q star Is, the harder
IL becomes TO secure exsctness In such
measurements. But astronomers are al
ways trying to improve their instru-
ments, and every year they are finding
out more and more about the arrange
ment Of the stars.
