DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseases portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube IS in- famed you have rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, deafness is the rssult, and unless the inflammation can be talk en out and this tube restored to it's nor nal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition or the mucous surfaces.

That usually meant that the driver went hungry, as he did not have much opportunity to leave his horses and dine at shop or resturant.
 At length the king became aware of his stewards failure to carry out his orders, and await ed the next opportunity to bring the fact to his attention. He had not long to wait. That night the king S opped his coach man as he entered the courtyard and upon inquiry, found that the

DIsCARDINe CHRISTIANITY
Jack Graham was very much

Jack Graham was very much excited as he met his rector. After twenty centuries of Christianitv's teaching peace on earth" he cried, most of the Christian nations of the world are now busily engaged in shoot ing down their fellow-men! If that is all Christianity can do, I am through with it.
 Just what are you going to put in its place?" inquired Doctor Brown.
 'T don't know; but 1 want something better than that!" de- clared Jack fiercely.
 Let me see." said the rector. Whatever unfaithful adherents practice. Christianity says that moral qualities are of supreme consideration. It exalts honesty and purity, and declares that the highest goodness is the unselfish giving of oneself for others good. When you discard Christ. ianity will you be satisfied with a lower standard, Jack?"
 "Of course not!" said Jack. | No one would ever be satisfied with the lower after he had seen the higher. :"
 Well, W h e n you discard Christianity, where will you find a higher ethical teaching than that?"
 Jack stood looking at the min ister Well, sir, l must con- fess that there isn't any," he S aid. It isn't the ethical teach ing of Christianity of which complain
 Well, let us look deeper. the continued. Christ ianity declares that at the heart of the universe is Love. That a Being of love surrounds us al- ways, eternally seeking entrance to our lives that He may bless us a nd help us. All we need is to let Him in, and however weak we are. we shall become strong; however despairing we are. we shall be filled courage; however broken-hearted, we shall know the deepest joy. Tens of thou sands of the most intelligent of every age since Christ bear unit ed testimony that exactly has been their experience. Will you be satisfied with religion that deos less than that? Can a man ask any religion to do more than that?"
 'Why hasn't twenty centuries of that religion made this war impossible?" cried Jack.
 If your physician left you medicine for some illness, and as soon as your physicians back was turned, you pitched the medicine out of the window, and you steadily grew worse. could you justly say that the medicine had failed you and you needed something different?"
 Jack stood thinking 1t over. Then he held out his hand to the "I am properly as- named, doctor." he said. We don't need a different religion. We need only to live the religion that we have. The Youth s Companion.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Valley Of Dry Bones.

The cyclonic summer storm had
blown itself out, and the clouds were
beginning to break away In the west,
when Griswold. obeying Margery's
urging to go home and change his
clothes, turned his back upon Mereside
and his face toward a future of thick
ening doubts and unnerying possibili-
ties.
Griswold had not deceived himself,
nor had he allowed Margery's apparent
confinement to deceive him. The
old mans mind had not been wander
ing in the eye-opening moment Of con-
seriousness regained. On the contrary,
what he had failed to do under ordi-
nary and conventional conditions had
become instantly possible when the
plunge into the dark shadow had
brushed away all the artificial becloud-
ings Of the memory page. What action
he would take when he should recover
was as easy to prefigure as it was. for
the present at least, matter negligi-

Thus the threat of the peril which
might bs called the physical But be-

manifested itself In those moments OF

CHAPTER XXI.
Al, That a Man Hath.

For FOUR entire days after Margery
Grierson had driven home the nail of
the elemental verities in her frank
criticism of the new book. and Char
lotte Farnham had clinched it, Wa
haska's public places saw nothing Of
Griswold; and Mrs. Holcomb, mother
Iy soul, was driven to expostulate
scoldingly with her second-foor front
who was pushing the pen feverishly
from dawn to the small hours, and
evidently-in the kindly widows
phrase-burning the candle at both
ends and in the middle.
Out of this candle-burning frenzy
the toiler emerged in the afternoon of
the fifth day, little pallid and tremu-
lous from the overstrain, but with
thick packet of fresh manuscript to
bulge in his pocket when he made his
way, blinking at the unwonted sunlight
of out-of-doors, to the great house at
the lakes edge.
Margery was waiting for him when
he rang the bell; he guessed it CRATE
fully, and she confirmed it.
"Of course" she said, with the be-
witching little grimace which could be
made to mean so much OF SO little.

shouldn't be waiting for your" Then.

you've been overworking again. Let's
sit out here on the porch where we
can have what little air there is. There
must be a storm brewing; it's posi-
lively GREATNESS in the house"
Griswold was glad enough to ac-
quiesce; glad and restfully happy and
mildly intoxicated with her beauty aud
the loving rudeness with which she
pushed him into the easiest of the
great lounging chairs and took the
sheaf of manuscript away from him,
declaring that she meant to read it
herself.
When 1t was over; and he could not
tell whether the interval should be
measured by minutes or hours; the re-
turn to the realities-the hot after
noon, the tree-shaded veranda, the lake
dimpling like a sheet Of molten metal
under the sun glare-was almost pain

"Griswold has put an even ninety thou
sand into my little egg basket out at
the plant But, of course you knew
that, everybody in Wahaska knows it
by this time"
Miss Grierson did not reply, and for
a little while they we're both silent
Then Raymer said
81 wonder II McMurtry doesn't think
I've dropped out on him. l guess I'd
better go and see. Don't wait any
longer on my motions, unless you want
to, Miss Margery."
When Raymer had gone, the oppor-
tunity which Brofin had so lately
craved was his Miss Grierson was
left alone on the big veranda, and he
had only to step out and confront her.
Instead, he got up quietly and went
back through the lobby with his head
down and his hands in his pockets,
and the surviving bit of the dead cigar
disappeared between his strong teeth
and became a cud of chagrin. There
had been a goal in sight, but Miss
Grierson had beat him to it.
And the winner of the small handi-
cap? With a deep breath-drawing that
was almost a sob, Miss Grierson sprang
up, stole a swift confirming glance at
the empty chair behind the window
hangings, and crossed the veranda to
stand with one arm around a support
ing pillar And since the battle was
fought and won, and the friendly pill
lar gave its stay and shelter, the vel
vety eyes filed suddenly and the ripe
red lips were trembling like the lips of
a frightened child.
