wered, with a shade of bitterness in
her voice.
ct is just as WELL" said Mrs. Paine
to Belle Grey, while speaking of the
departure of her daughter-in-law,
some days afterward. "Now we can
have Hattie Wilde with us for COM
pany. I was bored to death with
that girl"
II don't wonder" said Miss Grey,
with curl of her lips.
But Myrtle Paine did not go home.
Her uncle and aunt imagined she had
married into sphere all roses and
sunshine, and she had not the heart
to dispel their delusion.
"I'l go to some boarding-school,"
she said to herself. I'll study hard
not only books, music, etc., but man
ners and style. I'll improve myself
SO that no devotee of fashion shall
look down on me as Belle Grey did.
Hal has given me plenty of money,
and I shall be able to manage as I
like
Hal Paine remained in Europe four
years. When he returned he was
older and perhaps a wiser man.
"Wel, mother" said he; where is
Myrtle?"
I'm Michigan, suppose. Her last
address was Grand Rapids. She has
spent a great deal of her time there
since you went away"
Cali right" said Hal. 81 suppose
ought to run out West and see her.
Perhaps I will some day. By the way,
mother, who is that beautiful girl at
the Giffords? I saw her as she passed
this afternoon"
"That is Miss Mayne, I believe" re-
piled Mrs. Paine.
"She is a royal beauty" said Hal,
admiringly.
$50 they tell me, and her manners
are model. She sings like night
ingale, I heard"
Fl must get an introduction" said
Hal.
"Kate Stewart knows them"
'Then I'll be agreeable to Kate
Stewart. For must know the beauty
with those superb eyes and hair like
spun gold"
"Fie, Hal! What would Myrtle
say?"
Mother, I was married too early
in life to know my own mind. I be-
lieve I was a fool"
"Most men are, some time or other,
I suppose" said Mrs. Paine. "Blt
you are married now, and must make
the best of it."
81 know that" retorted the young
man. "But that need not stand in
the way of my admiring pretty girl
when I see her."
"You must not be imprudent, Hal.
1t is dangerous"
"I don't care if it is" he returned.
"There she is now, down by the lake,
with Miss clifford and Kate Stewart"
And he sprang across the threshold CT
the low French window, and hurried
away. He soon had an Introduction
to the beauty.
"You are trembling, Miss Mayne,"
he said, as she accepted his arm.
"You are cold. Allow me to get you
a shawl"
ooh, no-thank you-I don't need
it; I am not cold"
Something in her voice thrilled him.
Surely he had heard that deep, rich
voice before.

tating way.
She stopped him with gesture.
"Let me correct you, Mr.. Paine.

Paine"
"Mrs. Panel" said Hal, staring,
and amazed.
''Hal, have you forgotten Myrtle?
Oh, Hal, l meant to wear the mask
a while yet, but see cannot. I an
your wife, Mrs. Hal Paine"
Thus they met. Hal fell in love
with her, as it were, a second time.
And now Mrs. Paine is immensely
proud of "my accomplished daughter
in-law."

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 inaamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed YOU have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation 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 infamed condi-
ton of the mucous services.

convinced Patti would not sing again.
Ten times she had gone of the
stage, only to come into view again a
few minutes later. Her face gradually
took On a bored expression.
She appeared to be impatient to get
away from the theater. She had re-
ceived many offerings of flowers with
little more than scant Doliteness.
The audience itself was beginning
to grow cold, when a woman ran down
the middle aisle and held up a basket
Patti looked for an instant and then
ran forward, ~c1apping her hands.
MANY wondered what was the cause
of her delight until they saw the head Of
the black and tan in the middle of The
roses.
"A pink ribbon was round the dogs
neck, n Patti taught the basket by
the handle, handed it to a stage hand
and hurried to the center of the stage.
There was no more need to ask her to
sing Home, Sweet Home

In Owosso, Mich, to Chicago
Ten years ago he had won a fortune,
n when Patti came to the city he in
vited several of his friends to go with
him to the Auditorium to hear her sing.
He was a man with his heart in his
| business; the hunt for dollars had
dwarfed his native love for the beauti-
full.
His wife had gone to the play, and the
opera, while he rested after the days
work, and when they went together to
hear Patti sing they found a barrier
between them.
The millionaire wearied of the grand
passages from the different operas n
near the close of the performance he
could control his Impotence no longer,
and rose and walked behind the row of
boxes.
He was standing in the narrow aisle
alone when the applause ceased.
The strain of a familiar tune came to
his ears, and presently there came the
voice of Patti singing Home, Sweet
Home"
A few minutes later his wife found
him crying. He was back in Owosso
again, far from the bitterness of bust
ness strife.
1T could have waited a week for that"
he sobbed, and somehow his wife did
not chide him for his tears.
