I saw her daughter part with the
young man who was attentive to her
and go l>elo\v also.
"That was the last seen of the girl on

"When I came off wat. h T found the

the yciung lady the dtess of a steerage
passenger, had taken her to a vacant
stateroom aft, where she had put It on
and slipped through the canvas screens
Into the steerage. That's all she knew
about her. The captain then called for
the deck hand who said that he had
received $10o to secure a boat and row
two women steerage passengers ashore
when we lay fog bound in the Mersey.
He suspected one of these persons to
be a man.
"The rest was plain enough. The
girl's lover had taken passage in the
steerage dressed as a woman, and the
lovers had outwitted the mother, who
find taken her aboard to get tier away
from him. The daughter's flirtation
with the young man she met on the
voyage was a blind for the old lady.
"Months after the episode the miss

Ttere la only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and urn- 1
daa the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
