at Davis as if he wondered at the

covered the amount of the loss.

made his way direct to the wharf,

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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inlamed con
dition Of the mucous lining Of the Eus
tachan tube. When this tube Is IN
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be Ia
ken out, and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing viii be de
stroyed forever; nine cases Out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which IS moth
ing but an innamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

delay than the small town merchant
takes to wrap up paper of pins.
Few realize what constant supervision
must be exercised over every depart

minimum, and that not only every
article must be kept in its place, but
also that the warehouses must be well
stocked with goods to take care OF
any early calls for renewing the stock
An example of the high efficiency UNI

Roosevelt has just published book
entitled, Fear God which is re

that they be accepted as proofs OF his
craftsmanship and his political preyis

In 1882, having Just left school, he
wrote a preface TO his History Of the
Waa Of 1872, in which he says: at

and his follower, Madison, to neglect

Observation-Disclosures,

The decision to steal came to Davis
as the result Of months Of reflection.
1t could not be said to be the result
of impulse. There was not the slight
est extenuation. Calmly and method
ically Davis made up his mind to take
the five or six thousand dollars worth
of bills which would pass through his
hands on the following Saturday.
The money was taken out of the
bank on Saturday morning and placed
in the safe. During the morning Da-
Wis and Harvey, the cashier made out
the envelopes Harvey handed Davis
the bills to place in each envelope.
Harvey was short-sighted, and there
was a card index box between them.
Nothing would be easier than for Da-
Wis to place the empty envelope in the
safe and slip the bills into his peck
cts. The salaries would be paid be-
tween four and five. Davis theft
would remain undetected from one,
when he went out to lunch, till four.
Davis was not bad man, but his
mind was warped. He believed him
self to be the victim of social in
Justice. He had laid his plans with
the utmost assurance. At one he
would leave the office, at $50 be would
sail on board the Boadicea for Blu
enos Aires. With the last penny of
his savings he had engaged a passage
for England on board the Laodicea,
which left at three. He had fingered
just long enough in the steamship Of
flee. and asked just enough questions
to impress his identity upon the clerk,
and raise lingering interest which
might, under circumstances, become
an active suspicion.
Davis was twenty-nine, and he had
been with the corporation seven
years waiting patiently for his chance.
Cohen, the present manager, had told
Davis in strict confidence that he was
leaving; he had had a better offer
Say, Davis, know why old Krebs
turned you down before?' he asked.
Spruce up, old man. Don't be a slov-
en-. Get tifty-dollar suit and tickle
the old mans pride. And, say! Ever
notice that your cuffs are frayed?
Tickle the old man, make him think
he's paying you fine wages, If you
want to get on his right side
Davis repulsed Cohen's condolences,
He was too bitter just then to think of
flattering Krebs. Besides, he had al
ready begun to formulate his scheme.
He bought the new suit, however
That was part of the game. They
chaffed him on his spruce appearance
at the office on the Saturday morning,
but Davis said nothing. He hung up
his coat put on the old office one, and
set to work
He was in high good.humor, and pos,
sessed by sort of reckless audacity
which made the carrying out of the
plan easy. lie almost laughed as he
adroitly slipped the bills into his

then he went out OF the cage into the
