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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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;
I'VE cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inhamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send fol-

fSJ wv strikes chill through me
t8I even yet to recall the awful
F6TSnI horror of that instant. The
k.oHSSJ fer-de-lance-death in few
heart beats, and such death! A death
that melts a man into an abomination!
For moment none of us dared move,
scarcely dared breathe, and l saw the
band of light from Simmonds lantern
waving uncertainty across the floor,
the walls, the ceiling evidently poor
Simmonds did not understand the eX-
act nature Of the danger, but only that
1t was terrible one. had mad inn
pulse to jump, shrieking, for the door,
and should probably have done it had
that quivering silence endured mo-
ment longer.
"Slmmonds, give me your lantern"
said Godfrey, with an admirable calm
ness. "Lester, have your cane ready"
He threw a broad band of light upon
the carpet and. keeping carefully with
in this path, approached the door, felt
Cor the electric button and switched
on the lights.
Half blinded for an instant, we stood
staring at each other, at the floor.
For Gods sake" gasped Simmonds,
mopping the sweat from his face.
"What is it?'
cts snake" said Godfrey tersely,
1.-THE deadliest in the world. If you
don't believe Inc look yonder" And he
pointed to the huddled mass on the
floor.
l did not look; was afraid to; had
already seen too much. 1 was grateful
when Godfrey jerked down a curtain
and threw it over the body. Then he
gave Simmonds the lantern and closed
the door, which we had left open when
we entered.
'Now," he continued sharply, there's
no use in giving way to our nerves.
We're IN no danger, but that snake is
hid around here somewhere and the
first thing for us to do is to find it..
Were there two snakes, Lester?"
NO" I answered, as articulately as
I could, II think not. 1 never saw but
one"
81 thought you said Cecily took that
one with her."
$50 she did-wait; didn't see it.
She had cover over the cage"
Godfrey's face paled suddenly.
Good God! he murmured.
A giddiness seized me. clutched ut
chair for support.
1t had been no accident. She had
left Fe-Fe behind to avenge her-and
what vengeance! She had not laugh
ed and forgotten
Then in a flash understood that last
strange scene-the change in Cecily as
she stood watching us from the deck
Of the receding boat, the pressing
against the rail, the frantic effort to
shout message to Tremaine. She
had relented, she did not wish to kill
him, she loved him yet! But Of that
warning he had caught only a single
word.
1.-THE bed" I cried. 1.-THE bedv'
fright" agreed Godfrey incisively,
and walked to the bedroom door. In
an instant the inner room was ablaze
with light. He armed himself with
one of Tremalne's canes, and together
we approached the bed
READY, now," he said, and with a
sudden movement stripped back the
covers. But there was nothing under
them.
1.-THE pillow, perhaps" he said, and
turned 1t over.
There was quick movement, soft
kissing, a vicious head raised itself,
two eyes of orange fire glared atus.
/ heard the swish of Godfrey's cane,
and the head fell. Fe-Fe would work
no more evil.
