There ia only one way to euro 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 ia entirely
closed, deafness Is the result, and un
etas the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
ma] condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth

A little tradlug schooner bad carried
Lester Hldwetl from Mnnlla to a group
of tin; Islands that lie at tbe south
east of tbe Philippines, and when the
8blp*8 dory had left hlra on a snow
white coral bcaeh with his traps heap
ed about him he felt tbe first qualms
of distrust Id bis mission.
Tbe neighboring Islands were bits of
dark blue blurred against tbe blue sea
His own islet showed n curving stretch
of coral beacb with a background of
thick Jungle. Tall palms wared In tbe
breeze, and there was tbe luscious
smell of ripened fruit Except for the
lapping of tbe waves on tbe beuch and
the chattering of monkeys in tbe trees
there was tbe dead silence of complete
isolation.
Lester carried his traps to the edge
of tbe Jangle and set forth to seek
tbe legacy left him by biB friend Gil
bert Olds. It took two hours to cir
cle the Island.
Making a sort of rough cump occu
pied another hour, and when it was
completed Lester had a small hut
thatched with palm leaves aud bound
about with cordage from his valise.
In the hut he placed his stores of food
and water. Inflated the air mattress he
bad brought and was ready for busi
ness.
He drew out Ollbert Olds' last let
ter, writtei from this very same south
sea Island. One week after receiving
this letter he had heard of Gilbert's
tragic death.
"Dear Lester," this last letter read.
"I have found what I came after and
If I can get away safely shall be with
yon almost as soon as yon receive this
In case 1 never come back? and in this
part of tbe world one Is apt to drop
out suddenly and Inexplicably -leave
everything and come down here and
take your legacy. The pearls will be
yonrs If anything happens to me Von

know you grubstaked me to this ad
venture, and your trust In me will not
be shattered.
"Below l have given sailing directions
from Manila, and almost any small
trading captain will bring yon along.
There Is not much danger of your end
ing anybody here, for the Island bears
a bad reputation among the natives,
and there Is nothing to attract the trad
ers save a bountiful supply of water to
fill tbelr empty barrels. Ontll I leave
the pearls will be secreted tn the trunk
of a palm tree marked ou the map be
low. Must stop writing now, as l have
a chance to send this letter over to the
mainland. As ever yours, Gilbert
Olds."
It was easy to recognize the Island
from the sketch Gilbert had made.
"In the trunk of a palm tree" Is a
very Indelinlte description of a biding
place, for there were hundreds of trees
on the Island, and many of them tow
ered fifty or sixty feet above his head
He sat down to a solitary supper
thinking of his lost friend and the
meager tidings be bad been able to
gather of his sad fate. The captain of
the trading schooner bad shaken his
head dubiously when Lester questioned
blm.
"Mr. Olds' fate Isn't rightly known,
sir," the captain had said. "He was a
ypung chap that took chances, and. In
my opinion, he lost out on one or his
chances. Tou can't count on these
natives hereabouts. They're a tricky
crowd, and I've heard queer stories
about that Island. There's many a
man lost his life going after the Rose
of Dawn pearls, and the natives keep
away from It because they say it's
haunted. They will bang around It If
there's a white man there. 1 suppose
they're waiting for somebody to dls

found, why. It's all op wit* the tinder.
