There is ooJy one way to euro deaf

remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed
you hare a rumbling sound or lmper
feet hearing, and when tt is entirely
closed, deafness Is the result, and wn
eiss the inflammation can be taket
out and this tube restored to Ms nor
mal condition, hearing will be do
stroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten
sre caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an Inflamed condition of thr

She Loved an
Inventor
But She Did Not I <"<*1 That He
Would Ever Succced
By ESTHER VANDEVcER
Con W?hi by American l'r?! Asso
ciation. 1911.
It was absolutely necessary that I
should marry. Iti tin -so times many
fields are oi>en to women by which
they can make n living, but then
well, lenohliiR was about the only one.
Girls went out as governesses, but In
struction of any kind was not my forte.
There was no reason why 1 should
not marry, except that there was no
one where 1 lived to marry? that Is.
no one but Tom Baxter- -and, though
he seemed to like me very well, he
made no move matrimonially In my
direction lie was always throwhiK
out hints about people marrying who
have nothing to live on. To tell the
truth. I agreed with him. Besides, I
saw no prospect of his ever being
able to sup|H>rt n wife, for he was an
Inventor, and wo all know what that
means. An Inventor ninety-nine cases
in a hundred Is a rainbow chaser
Tom lived In the village wtih his
mother, but every now and then
would go to the city "on business,
he would say. It occurred to nie tint'
the business of applying for paienis i
on machines that won't wnr'% pr?c
ttcnlly or If they do some one else j
than the Inventor gets what monej
there Is In It Is a very j>oor business
No. It would never do for me to rely
on Tom. Hut I had come to 1* twen
ty years of nge. Mother's Income was
not enough to take care of us all, and
1 must eltbor find work or a husband
It nearly broke my heart to give up \
all ho|<es of Tom. He was a lovable
sort of follow, and his visionary dls
position only made him more so. I*er
sons who .are always living In the
clouds and always hoping are slnirn
larly attractive.
My father, who was now dead, had
been a great advertiser In his day and

had told me that it I ever wanted any
thing to let the fact be known through
the press, lie had never told me to
advertise for a husband, and 1 had
never dreamed of doing such a thin# !
But why not? The only objection to
the plan was that 1 would doubtless
receive replies from persons with nn
worthy motives. Rut 1 was not a fooi
to fall Into a trap.
I wrote my advertisement, but I re ]
quired a whole day to make up my
mind to send It. However. In the even
Ing I came to a decision and, taking
it to the i<ostofflee, mailed It.
I was especially relieved at petting
few If any replies that Indicated a
trap. 1 attributed this to the wording
of my advertisement. I was very care
ful to let it be understood that mine
was a genuine case and that no one
would l>e able to Impose upon me. 1
received a number of answers, but
there was only one that seemed worth
my while to follow up. One letter
came couched In the most respectful
language and bore evidence of perfect
sincerity. The writer said that he In
ferred I was cut o(T from meeting
members of the opposite sex since my
advertisement said that I lived In a
small village and the perfect English
In which my advertisement was writ
ten marked me for an educated per
son. He sympathized with me deeply
for finding It necessary to use such a
businesslike method, but commended
me for adopting It since there appear
ed to be no other at hand.
I replied to the letter? the only one
I did reply to? In the spirit in which
It was written, though I said very lit
tle. and that was simply suggesting a
correspondence. I shrank from meet
ing any one under such circumstances
and never would meet any one with
out first being convinced that he was
a true man. And even then he must
convince me that he had written the
letters I had received.
He replied, admonishing me to pro
ceed with the greatest caution and not
on any account to trust either him or
any one else without ?submission to n
number of tests. He would lie perfect
ly content to wnlt for my character to
appear In my letters. He would prefer
that I should appear thus rather than
in the shape of a photograph. He
feared that If he should find me very
attractive looking he might t>e unduly
prejudiced in my favor and If 1 lacked
beauty he might not be Impressed with
my evidences of character.
I corresponded for a long time with?

months panned, r tl rat ka expressed
no desire to aee me. His letters were
eminently satisfactory, and I confess
I felt a keen deal re to see what he
was tike. So one da? I wrote him that
1 would be pleaaed *> receive his pho
tograph.
He replied that ha had been dread
Ing to 1* thus called on for some time
Inasmuch as he bad no pretense what
ever to manly lM>auty. Indeed, be con
aldered himself homely. 'But." he
said, "I nm making some negotiations
which If successful will put me In
much better condition to marry than
now. They will be settled within a
week one way or the other. If the la
sue I* to my advantage I will be happy
to call upon yon I hope by Seeing yott
1 may be able to do away with some
of the prejudice that would occur from
your seeing my ph-ntrr unrelieved h)
any personnel whatever."
It was about this time that Tom
Baxter lwgan to be more devoted to
rne thnn lie had ever been. Of course
there was no obligation on my part to
my correspondent That affair I some
)<mos ihotiglit waa as much In the air
?is Tom's patent*. Rut Tom really
seemed hi have picked up the Idea that j
lie was about to f?<allae somettifng W
markable. tVheiher It was bis confl
dene# or my d<"*dre that he should sw 1

wishing be would. And If be were go
ing to make a strike I wished thst h?>
would make It liefore my "lover on
paper." ' considered him. shoukl
call upon me My necessities grew
greater every day. 1 felt It was due
to my family lliat I shonM not only
relieve mother of my ftapfinrt. hut do ;
nomethine for them all b?*tdes I j
feared that If Mr. Allerton should turn
out to be a desirable party 1 might
And myself Inclined to treat htm cool
ly. having Tom In my thoughts-ln
other words, by not encouraging tbe
one available I might lose him.
But as bad luck would have It Mr
Allerton wrote he was ready to call
upon me, and at the same time Tom
became positively aggressive. He said
nothing more about the folly of per
sons marrying without an as*nred In
rome and l>egnn In a halting kind of
way to really make love to me. I put
him off. saying; "!?n"t be silly. Tom
You'll never l>e able to marry- that la.
there's not more than ona chance In
ten thousand of your being so, for
that's all the chance there la for an
Inventor."
He looked very downcast at this
and said he believed that there was
some one who had ffrst choice, as he
expressed It. 1 told Mm that I had
not yet seen the man I vronM marry
In prcferen<T to him
"Oh. cheer up." he said "My case ,
Isn't as had as you think It la. I've
lust succeeded In"?
I put my hands to my ears. I had
heard the words "I have Jnst aucceed
ed" or "1 am Just going to succeed"
so many times that I was not only
tired of them. but. feeling toward '
Tom as 1 did, they were a mockery
with me. Ffe went sway wlftout a
word, and I went to my room anO
cried.
The next day I wrote Mr. Allerton
that I would be pleased to hare him
call upon me at the home of my
cousin In the city, a girl about my
age, who I knew would permit me to (
receive any friend of mine there. 1
appointed that day week for what 1
called a preliminary Interview. There
wa? no warmth In my letter, but how
could 1 warm up for a roan whom I
had never acen*
I received a note by return mall stat
ing that he would meet me on tbe date
1 had appointed "And now." he add
od. "I am much pleased to tell you
that fortune after many dlaappolnt
ments has favored me. 1 am an In
ventor" ?
I threw the note on the floor. "For
tieaveVs sake, are the only men In the
world 1 have to choose from inven .
tors?" Then, after walking hack and
forth for awhile. 1 exclaimed aloud:
"If 1 must wait for an Inventor 111 j
wait for Tom."
The door opened, and who should
.'ome In but Tom himself. I blushed
? ?rlmson. for I waa sure he had heard
me.
The expression on his face waa a
study. There was satisfaction and.
above all. amusement HI* eyes fair
ly sparkled with mischief. They tnrn- ;
od from me to the letter on the floor.
"Oho!" he exclaimed "Ton have a
lover!"
"Yes," I said fiercely, "and. like you.
he Is an Inventor."
He fairly shouted with laughter
? Picking up the letter, he read It. Com
ing to where I had broken off, he
! went on with It: "f have Jnat sold a
patent right for $100,000 and a royalty
>n eve# article roannfactored. The
money has been paid hie."
"By Jon?!" he adde?t. "The fellow
!jas got ahead of me."
I stood stock sMn. red as a beet and
;jot knowing what to do. Tom threw
his arms about my neck. "T'm this fel
low Allerton, and t'ce had the ItO-k
stated In his note. I saw your letter
lying on a table addressed to the news
i in per I wondered what It meant,
subscribed for tbe paper, saw your ad.
and surmised the advertisement was
rours. I an?wered your advertisement
and have enjoyed a correspondence
with yon amaxlngly."
"You ought to be ashamed of yoar

T?m and I are very happy. I hare
