moving in Peyton's mind.
The girl comprchended the case of
her two lovers but dimly. AS she sat
between them she inclined now to the
right, now to the left, and knew not
whittier she would finally tend.
Ihe two men had been friends from
Doyhood. The frank. impulsive nature
or the larger man. who was also the
older. had fitted in with the Quieter,
more restrained habit Of the younger.
Ihey had been to each other as body
and soul. They made an ideal com.
bination therefore. One planned, the
other executed. Not altogether is the
statement true again; but, broadly
speaking. it was Pcyton's subtle mind
and Darrow's powerful personality
that worked together. Octpntimcs pcy.
tons ideas were utterly impractical
equally often Darrow'S insight was en-
trcly lacking. yet together they sup
piementca each other. In Il great emcr
gency. if any had ever arisen, the com.
Dination would have been ideal and
success certain. There never had been
cloud upon their Friendship. The
only thing that breaks fliCnlshins like
that between man and man is woman.

separated In their later life for that

The Bureau of Insular Affairs, War

bulletin on cacao culture in the Phil

1.-THE cacao grown in the Philippines
is of such excellent quality that there
is keen rivalry among buyers to pro-

of the local growers to process" or

DEAF MADE TO HEAR.
Remarkable Invention Of Mr.. Hutchln
son Works Successfully.

Another interesting demonstration
of the powers of the ACQUISITION" has
been given In New York City by the
inventor, Miller Reese Hutchinson.
Mr.. Hutchinson selected as subjects
for the experiment several inmates of
the New York Institution for the In
struction of Deaf and Dumb. Some
had been stricken with deafness at too
early an age to remember what the
meaning of sound was, and one young
girl In particular almost went into
spasms of delight when the ear.piece
was adjusted and she heard the strains
of music.
Mark Twain was in the little audi
ence, as was also Mrs. George Dewey,
wife of Admiral Dewey. There was
one skeptic present. He was deaf, but
had no faith in the invention, so he
asked to be put in the chair, This
was done and his face flushed with
surprise when he was able to distin-
guish mamma" from papa" Mr.
Hutchinson said, "Hello!" to him and
he repeated It,

can heartily recommend Peruna as
catarrh remedy. Mrs. Elmer Fleming.
Treat Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards a
cure of catarrh. If course Of Pcruna is
taken during the early spring months the
cure will be prompt and permanent. There
can be no failures if pcruna is taken INTEL
ligenily during the favorable weather Of
spring.
As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates caiarrh from the system wher-
ever it may be located, 1t cures catarrh
of the stomach or bowels with the same
certainty as catarrh OF the head.
II you do not derive prompt and sa,is-
factory results from the use oi Peruna, write

TO give You his valuable advice gratis.
