DEAFNESS CANNOT BF CURED:1

rveoh the diseaasd portion of the ear.
Tfoere is only one way to cure deaf
nose. and that is by constitutional
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 healing, and when U is entirely
closed, deafness Is the result, and un
efas the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Ms nor
mal condition, bearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
?re caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition o< the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case o t deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

The thro* had attracted much ntten
tlon from the time that they had start |
ed out upon their Ion* Journey? the
beautiful xvouian with the somlter j
eyes, her golden haired little son, who
made his way with confidence Into the
arms and hearts of paaseugers alike,
and the bright faced girl who devoted
herself tirelessly to both mother and
Child.
"Who is she?" n curious one asked
of the boy. "Your governess or moth
er's companion ?" And Bobble wrinkled
his brows thoughtfully.
"Most of the tlnie," he answered,
"she Is just our friend."
The train slowly wound its way up
the mountain slope one sunshiny morn
ing, then stopped at a little settlement,
where many passengers alighted to en- i
jrty the view. The beautiful woman
gazed listlessly at the glorious pano
rama spread out before her. while the
girl caught Bobble by the hand.
"Come," she said; "we will gather
some wild flowers."
At length the train whistle called
shrilly, and the people ran laughing
and crowding np tl?e steps. The girl,
flushed and brent hie***, came last. The
mask of Indifference fell from the wo
man as she leaned forward.
"Where Is Bobble?" she cried.
"He started back long ago to bring
a flower to you."
In a moment all was confusion. Eager
helpers searched the cars unavalltngly,
and the whistle blew a last warning as
the girl drew Robbie's mother hastily
Into the road.
"We will have to stay over until we
find him," she said.
A Marching iwrty was Instituted at
once, while the two women waited all
day long at the shack which did duty
as a hotel, but as night fell no trace
of the missing boy had been found.
Many messages were dispatched to

various places. nnd In the morning,
following n night of suspense, a detec
tive arrived from the nearest city.
"The boy 'h mother 1* a wealthy wo
man," he explained to the girl, "and
the police suspect that this may be
a case of kidnaping."
She listened wide eyed as he shRrply
questioned the rough men who lounged
about the "wooden platform. At last |
one was forind who could give a help
ful clew. He . had seen a yellow hnlred
boy who wore a scarlet cap going far
up the lonely trail with "the mountain
man."
"Describe him," the detective said
quickly. "Where does he live?"
The informant hesitated a moment
doubtfully. "He's a queer one." he an
swered. "Lives away Up thar by hlm
: self; never speaks to one of us, and no
one knows whar he come from or
1 what's his name. That's why we just
. call him 'the mountain man.' I'll show
; you his shack." he agreed suddenly,
: and the men departed.
When the official returned later In
the day the girl came forward to meet
him.
"The child's mother Is too 111 to be
disturbed lit present." she said. "Will |
you tell me what you have learned T"
"Very little," he replied, "though we |
found this mysterious 'mountain man.'
He was Qshing in one of the small
streams and was not disposed to talk,
answering our questions In monosyl
lables. When we told him that the boy
had been seen in his company yester
day he coolly gave ns permission to
search his cabin home. We have done
"And you found?" she asked breath
I lessly.
Fumbling In an inner pocket, he
drew forth a tiny crumpled shoe and
laid it In her palm.
"Only this," he replied.
"Why. it is too small J" the girl cried
Ivonderingly. 'This Is a baby's shoe."
She stood thoughtfully regarding the
little bent shoe.
"I should like to talk to this strange
man." she said at length. "Please, will
you take me to him?"
He looked up In surprise. "I am
afraid it would be useless, and the
fellow Is not very efvll."
"Still, I should like te go," she in
sisted.
So he led her up and np the steep
mountain parti, pausing ?t last In an
