Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion Of the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that ia by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infsmed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is in6amed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi'
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of
Deafness tcaused by catarrhl that cannot be cured

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs

why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it ~cleanses,

after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

The Romano and the Sea,

Virgil is understood to have lived
long on the bay Of Naples, and he

presses little but sense of yastness,
power, malevolence. 1t is a toilsome
and perilons expanse, to be hurried
across and escaped.
Across the land the Romans went
with indomitable confidence, marking
their way with those works OF pecul-
lar permanence, so that today the Brit

built, and the Gaul walks beneath their
arches. But even In imperial times
the voyage from Brundisium to Greece
was something OF a hardship. The

on its shores lay the bones Of those
who never received burial and hence

do you think King can keep this

Joyce anxiously.

as he looked at the sturdy black flying
over the hard packed snow.

that, your father will be after us in no

Joyce shivered at the suggestion
For years she had lived in dread of
the stern old man who since his wife's
death had looked on life with hatred.
When Joyce had come, her gentle
mother had slowly faded away, and
Hiram Warning blaming the innocent
child for the death of the woman he
loved SO passionateIy. had never
shown her the affection that was her
heritage.
AS child her innocent transgres-
sions were punished with an unjust Sc
verify, and when Dick Torrington had
asked her father for her hand he had
been driven from the house for no
other apparent reason than Mr.. War
ing's hatred of Joyce. The father
would not give his consent to mar
riage because 1t would make her hap
Ply. and thereafter he watched her
more closely than ever.
But Dick Torrington was not of the
sort to take his unjust dismissal with
out an effort to win the woman he
loved, and the elopement was the re-
suit.
Busby was the terminal station of a
branch line on which the single train
made two trips daily each way. Hank
Carew took a pride in the punctuality
with which the road was run, and 1t
was certain that the morning train
would leave exactly at half past 8.
BY planning the elopement so as to
reach the station just as the train
started, Dick was assured that there
could be no successful pursuit. King

the town, while Hiram Waring still
puttered about the barn In blissful
ignorance. Presently, however, he
would come into the house, and then
perhaps he would realize what was up.
Meanwhile they would have made the
train, and presently they would be
across the state line, where licenses
were not necessary The laws of their
own state required residence before a
license could be issued, and as town
clerk Joyce's father was charged with
the issuance of licenses.
All would have gone well II small

Dick. The well packed ball of snow
missed the driver. but struck King a
smart blow In the ribs. The high spir-
tied horse was unused to such treat

Joyce's face bianched. The Hill (al-
ways spelled with capitaD was a
steep descent Of nearly a mile. with
one ugly turn. If King should bolt
down the hill, there was little chance
that Dick would be able to guide him
around the curve, and they would be
thrown down the side.
"You Will stop him before then" she
said confidently. But the corners of
her mouth were drawn and her lips
were white. She knew King and re-
allied how little chance there was even
while she sought to comfort Dick with
her confidence.
1t was little more than mile to
the top of the Hill. and Dick fought
the horse every inch of the way. He
had called to Joyce to kneel in the bot
tom of the cutter, and just as they
reached the descent he pulled Kings
head to one side and guided the crazed
animal into tree
Dick shot over the side OF the cutter
as they struck, but he was on his feet
in an instant to hold the horse. There
was no need fer that. King lay still on
