tic seat, albeit not a romantic spot In
winter, to mediate and arrive at some
conclusion undisturbed.
She really did hope that it was not
the young clergyman; for she was not
at all up in theology and was quite too
undignified for a clergyman's wife.
"And the young doctor would not
do, nice as he is" she said, emphatic
ally, for l never could be sweet and
amiable enough to share him with all
the other women in the town"
She paused a moment and then con-
tinued:
Ralph is a bright young lawyer. but
casionally assume an interest in meta
physics, that mental diet daily would
be very wearing. But don't you think,
Miss Maud" she continued gayly to
herself, that you are presenting a
great deal in taking it for granted
that any one of these gentlemen
| wishes to be your valentine? Oh. no!
l do not iatter myself. But the eli
gible young men in town are so few
that | must mention them all to find
somebody, so l might as we'll refer to
the others. Reginald ONE next, and
he does waltz d%ivinely; but Waiting
is not very profitable, and l fear it is
poor Reggie's strongest point. Tom
is intellectual; but he has such a
dreadful temper that | should feel all
the Tine as though | were living with
dynamite. Joe is a tyrant, and he is
so insanely jealous. Now, l love to
have my own way, or think l do; and,
if a man were determined to be ieal-
Jus anyway. | am afraid l might be
tempted to tease him a little. so that
combination would not do at all. Only
two are left-Jack and Harold; and
Jack is a dear good boy, but not at all
' commanding" (She had forgotten
that she discarded Joe because he
was.) And last, but not least, there
is Harold
But what she thought of him the
little lady did not say.
That evening, as she again sat at
the old fireplace, feeling, it must be
confessed, somewhat disappointed at
the nOn-arrival of her valentine, q
white missive, evidently tossed in
through the open hall window, fell at
her feet. But no one was in sight,
and, full of eager expectation, Maud
opened the sealed missive.
ooh, how romantic. how delicious!"
she exclaimed, as, with beating heart
and dancing eyes, she read:
O., sweetheart mine, I have no gift to
offer,
So priceless as thou art.
l only come, a lover true and tender.
And bring to you my heart.
Then, as she turned her head, the
door behind her opened softly, and
somebody tool her in his arms, and
somebody's kisses silenced the pro-
tests of her lips.
A little struggled woman's last
pretense of battle before the surren-
der she is happy in making-and then
Maud, with all the tender love of her
heart shining in her glorious eyes,
whispered, softly
20 Harold! l am so glad it was
you"

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 is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is innamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken ont 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.

NEW TRACK ON YANTIc LINE.
80 Pound Rails from Wightman's tc
 Yantie-Other Work on Trolley Road.

On Wednesday morning the Connec- ticut company will begin laying new track on the Yantic line, starting at Wightman's switch and continuing north to the Yantic bridge at Av- ery's greenhouse Bean Hill. Road master Thomas Guinan will be in charge of the new tracking and will have a gang of thirty men engaged. The track for the major portion of the distance between the city and Wightman's switch has been recently laid. To continue the heavy S0-pound rail to the bridge will take about a months time. The rail and spikes have already been distributed along the line.
 The new construction work at New London in Montaul1 avenue on the Ocean beach line. was finished up on Monday by Roadmaster Guinan's men, although when the city gets through it's road work there there may be a days cleaning up to do. The line men from Foreman J. 1T Humphreys gang, who have been assisting Fore man Harry Mooney on the overhead construction work. also ended their work in New London Monday. Tn all about 3.600 feet of track were laid. of which 1900 was double tracking. Eighty pound rail was used and it is a job of which the company and it's track force may justly feel proud.
 Today Roadmaster Guinan will send his men down to North Stonington after ties for the Yantic line.
