DEAFNESS CANNOT BF CURED '
by local application*, as they cannot
reach the diseased Dortiom of the ear.
There is ooly one way to cure deaf
ness, and that la by constitutions.!
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is inflameO
you have a rumbling soi.nd or imper
fect hearing, and when it. is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and tun
else the inflammation can bo taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten
sre caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an Inflamed condition of thf
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (earned b>
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

1 am a writer of-plny*. Now. If ther*
Is one nile for every departnifnt of
what the French call the be:iii* art*
?there Is no collective name tor litem
In English -It Is "use models " It I*
as essential In fiction as It Is in paint
ing and sculpture. 1 resolved In enter
Ing upon n litem ry career that ns the
bee extracts honey from the flcwer
so would I extract human nature from
actual persons. There Is another klnil
of model that Is needed by the story
or play writer? locality
One spring I determined to go for
my models to the country. I wished,
first, to locate my play where I could
give It a pastoral flavor and. secondly,
to depict the better grade of country
people. Among the hills of Vermont
I found a family named Powell, edu
cated and otherwise respectable, but
poor enough to take me In as a boarder.
I soon made a discovery, one that
pleased me very much. 1 had struck
an luclplent courtship between n young
man. Thomas Ilrndshaw, nnd Emily
"OH, KXTTBK ME"
Powell. With till* I had nil the ele
ments for my piny. I don't mean tbnt
1 had a motif or a plot, but scenery
and characters, together with the must
important feature In every play, which
we playwrights call the "heart inter
est."
Of course 1 must not let the lovers
know 1 was sketching them. That
would spoil them at once for models
and esclte their animosity ngninst me
as well. I had plenty of time and re
solved not to hurry. For the tirst week
1 occupied myself In laying down a
scenario or skeleton for my play and
In making excursions roundabout for
attractive spots in which to locate the
principal scenes. I proposed to have
the scene painter use them
A model for a character cntne to me
in the person of Miss Enphemin With
ers, a .voting woman about five years
my Junior? I am thirty-flve and prin- ?
eipal of a children's school. The fe
male villain of a play Is called the
"heavy wotaiin." and this person, who
was to make all the trouble In my
play, was until Miss Withers arrived
a blank in ray brain. Therefore I
hailed her coming with Joy She did
not need to be bad. What I wished to
copy was a real person. It was ns easy
for me to make a bad person on the
stage out of a good one, or vice versa,
as for an artist to convert a smile Into
a sour expression by turning the cor
ners of the mouth down Instead of up
I had one advantage with Miss
Withers that was denied me with the
two lovers. I could be with her occa
sionally. while I must needs study the
others from a distance. 1 really knew
very little of Emily Towel I till Miss
Withers told me that she was a very
bright girl. She also said that Mr.
Brndshnw was nn Instructor In a
neighboring university. This forced
me to introduce a more artificial col
oring Into my play than I had In
tended.
1 had not been at work long before
I resolved to take Miss Withers Into
my confidence with regard to my play
and my models? that is. excepting her
self. By this I not only got the benefit
of suggestions from her. but was en- i
nbled. If I wished, to go out to where
the lovers were strolling or sitting, f
could do so In company with another,
thus the better concealing the fact
that I was watching them. While they
were sitting on a rustle seat on a
hillside Miss Withers and 1 would be
perched on the crest looking down
upon them. Alone I could not long
have maintained such a position: with
a companion it was perfectly natural
that t should do so ad Infinitum.
In one respect I was bndly hand!
capped In my work. 1 wanted Miss
Withers for my "heavy" woman, but
was prevented from working her Into I
the piny because I dare not let her
know she was to be my model for
such a part. All I could do wan to
note such of her Idiosyncrasies and
her sayings as would give her proto
type In the piny the realism I desired,
that I might have them at hand when
I should be obliged to use them. She
would often nsk me to explain to her
such parts as were left unfinished, l?t
I ooold not satisfy her ?x??pt by ce?
fesslng that they pertained to bar.
This I da ml not do.
As the snfeneer wore <m 1 made e?
cellrnt headway lu my work and con
gratulated myself that when waged
the realism) ibere ?n In It weald
make It a treat om-cets. Whenever I
notified Miss Wither* ih:it ibe lover*
had gone forth on a stroll she wonld
leave whatever she might be doing to
accompany me. We w?uld shadow
(hem. kor|ilmt ont of sight so far a*
possible, yet where we crmld observe
them One thin* I "confess with some
shame. It was absolutely necessary
to my purpose that I should catch bits
of their conversation There was a
bench backed by bushes on which
'hey often sat together Mtss With
ors and I by taking a circuitous course
found It possible without twin* ob
served to conceal onrselve* 1n these
bnsbe* and hear all they said. It was
eavesdropping, but I eonsldered that
the end Justified the mean*. These
loving Interviews wonld In my play
touch the hearts of many person*. I
considered Mis* Wither* also Justified
since she was my assistant.
Two persons wrapped In a common
work are very liable to become wrap
ped In each other. And the more ab
?orbed they are In the former the
more unconscious they are liable to be

during which period I wa* surprised

least a thief even If thl* wa* her only
iniquity, for she hsd stolen my heart
Hut I was by no means ready to yield
ro such enthrallroent and when she
returned went on with my piny with
out showing any *lgn? at least any
Intentional sign*-- of my own "heart

Within hnlf nn hour we heard per

which latter nothing conld sure ns

boldly nrowpd that Miss Wtthprs and
I wore ones red. She neither affirmed
nor denied my statement to roe or any
one else nnd looked as thonch love
wns the fnrthest thins from her heart.
However, before we parted she had so
far recovered from the misadventure

On rptnrnlng to the city I eotnptptpd

It wns soon evident that the produc

the curtain I was called on for a
speech. While making It I (rlanced
down to where I hnd left Miss With
ers. expecting a congratulatory smile
I was astonished to find her seat ra
cant. As soon as poastWe I went to
the orchestra chair* and asked Mrs.
Withers what had become of her
daughter.
What was my borror to learn that
she had recognized herself as the fe
male villain of the play nnd had gone
out during the third act In high dud*
eon.
I followed her. but was not admitted
to see her. I called the next day and
the next with no better anew**. Bnt
1 did not give her up until I heard
thnt she had gone away, do one knew
