DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when It is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the rseult, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free.

j At length he looked down at the dog.
I A whimsical smile curved his lips, and
i he looked grimly toward Alicia, who
j to all Intents was Interested In the
distant landscape.
"Kajah, old boy," he said, addressing
I the dog, "It strikes me that women

j They accuse a chap of all sorts of
j tlilugs. and when he offers to explain
I they tly Into a tine dudgeon aud turn

He glauced at the girl. She was
quite uumoved. The landscape was
apparently quite as absorbing as ever.
The back was certainly no whit less
uncompromising.
"I've been III treated, old man," Ken
worthy went on. "I wanted to ex
plain It all to her. but she wouldn't
listen."
At that moment a Persian kitten
I came stalking across the lawn, paused
] Irresolutely beneath the trees and then
Jumped into Alicia's lap.
"Teddy, you dear," cried the girl,
stroking the kitten's white coat, "you
knew I wanted to tell you something
about men, didn't you?"
ICenworthy pricked up his ears.
"Teddy," she went on confidentially,
"all men are horrid? selfish and hor
rid. You can't trust any of them."
Kenworthy smiled at the dog.
"Between you and me. Kajah," said
he, "I think the sum and substance of
the whole matter Is jealousy."
"Imagine my belujj Jealous, Teddy."
said the girl scornfully. "Who on
earth would I be jealous of?"
"I imagine it's the Rrouson girl.
Rajah." said Kenworthy.
"Tho Bronson girl goes nutomobll

girl to the kitten. "And she's such r
horrid little flirt! She l>ou8tcd when
she came here she'd have a spin In

"By Jove. It Is Jealousy!" said Ken
worthy. forgetting to address his re
marks to the dog.
"Pldn't I tell you men were horrid,
Teddy?" said Alicia, with much con
viction.
Keuworthy chuckled softly.
"Do you suppose she really cares If
I did take the Bronson girl for a spin,
Rajah?" he asked.
"He was to come here at 4 yester
day afternoon. Teddy," she said. "It
was half past r> before he came. I'm
glad he found such congenial compa

"See here. Rajah." said Kenworthy,
"the explanation she refused to listen
to I shall tell to you."
"Aren't men clever af explaining,
Teddy?" asked t lie girl, with sarcasm.
"You see," Kenworthy went on. pat

old chap? He couldn't l?e cad enough
to refuse, now, could he?"
The clrl stroked the kitten thought
fully.
"It's a very clever explanation," she
mused.
"The worst of it is, Rajah, she won't
believe a word of It," said he gloomily.
"I'm almost tempted to believe It,
Teddy," said she.
"And If she does believe It she won't

he went on.
"I'm almost tempted to be sorry,"
she said softly.
"And even If she Is sorry she'll never

The girl held the kitten at arms'
length.
"Teddy." she said very softly, "I'm

flushing deeply.
Kenworthy yprang from the ham
mock with a suddenness that precipi
tated Rajah to the ground.
"Alicia. Alicia." he cried. "I dare you
to flulsh that sentence!"
The girl dropped the kitten. She
turned to Kenworthy, and her eyes
met his bravely.
"I dare you to finish that sentence,"
he repeated.
"I'm? I'm almost tempted? I am
tempted anfi I do? that is? I yield to
the temptation." she said slowly.

[Copyright, HOB, by T. C. McClur*.]
One day when Colonel Day cam#
tack to bis top story room at Mri.
Wilkin*1 rooming house be found the
room next to his occupied. It bad been
vacant for n .rear, and the coloue' was
not only curious, but nettled. The gar
ret of the house wn? dlrlded Into two
rooms, and his was one, and he had
never even looked into the other, but
as be had so long been the sole tenant
of tho top story he felt that he ought
to have been consulted as to a new
comer. When he beard a person mov
ing around In the other half of his do
main be went down to Mrs. Wllklns.
The colonel was a man of sixty. He
had threadbare garments and an empty
purse. While he occupied the cheapest
room In the house. It was well known
that he was often hard put to pay his
rent, while his meals were always tak
en at the cheapest restaurants. He was
a man of dignity ntid education, and
that he had once occupied a place In
the world could not Ih> doubted.
"Mrs. Wllklns,** began the colonel as
he entered the landlady's presence, "I
take It that you have rented the other
room, and to a female at that?"
"Yes. colouel, but It Is to a young
woman who Is trying hard to make a
llvlUR."
"Hut you should have consulted me.
1 ha ve been with you for a year, and I
should hate to remove to other quar
ters, but please remember I bat I have
certalu rights and privileges, and they
are not to be abrogated without my
consent. I will think It over and con
slder what Bteps to take."
Five minutes later he knocked on the
door of the other room, and It was
opened to him by a young woman of
about twenty-five. He bowed stiffly,
and she drew aside as an Invitation for
him to enter. As be looked around the
room he saw n cheap old trunk on the
tloor aud a few poor articles of wear
lug apparel hanging up on the nails
driven Into the wall. A second glance
Into the young woman's face told him
that she had consumption.
"1 came here to ask you why you
reuted this room," he said as his face
softened a little, "but I can see with
\ Partners to the End
out asking. Miss, let us shake hands."
"For why?" she asked.
"Because I occupy the next room;
because we are both victims of fickle
fortunt; be ause wo should feel sorry
for each other: because 1 feci more
sorry for you than you can for lue."
"I hardly understand you, sir," she
said as she slowly put out her hand.
"You are trying to make a living, I
take It?"
"Yes."
"And I hid fighting poverty In hoper
to live a few years longer, though
why I should care to live another week
I do not know. The bond of poverty
Is between us. Let us l?e friends."
That night, instead of taking his
meal at a cheap restaurant, he brought
home a loaf of bread and some sau
sage. Instead of going out to hunt up
a cheap place, she went out for a
bit of butter and a Jar of marmalade
They had dinner together in her room
It was the first of many meals.
The colonel and the young lady got
to be very good friends. They coun
seled with each other; they cheered and
encouraged each other; they deceived
eacb other, or tried to, as to what the
future had In store. The woman suf
fered most, and yet she was the brav
est hearted. From almost the first
day of their meeting they looked for
ward to ccrtaiu things. Some day the
last of his friends would disappear and
his precarious income would cease al
together. He would die before asking
a stranger for charity. Some day the
disease eating at her lungs would dc
mand the penalty, and there would be
no avoiding It. They talked the mat
ter over for au hour and then dropped
It and never referred to It again. It
was the black shadow in their path,
and yet they fought It away. One
night, a year later, the colonel came
home and fouud the young woman In
bed. The doctor had been there, and
the landlady had done all she could do.
It was the beginning of the end. The
colonel sat down with a sofier light on
his face than his partner had seen
there for weeks, and there was a touch
of the exultant in his voice as he said:
"I have come home penniless. The
last of my friends has turned his back
on me. 1 am no beggar of alms."
'T am so sorry," she sighed.
"Say rather that you are so glad.
You may linger for a month, but you
have no hope of getting well."
"None whatever."
"You remember our talk of long ago?
The time seemed far off then, but It Is
here tonight. Why should you be a
month In dying? Why should I seek to
live for three or four years more?"
"Yes, we had a talk," she quietly
said.
"Have you any money?"
"A dime. Take It and buy yon some
thing to eat"
"Partners to the last." he. said as he
smiled and rubbed his h^nds together.
"It makes It far easier where we are
to go together. I will be back soon."
"And It Is going to happen?" she
asked as he returned with a bulky
package.
"It must Why should It not?"
"Yes? why not?"
Half an hour later the colonel sat
down beside the bed and kindly said:
"We have beeu partners? true part
ners. I will sit here and hold your
hand while we sleep."
They found them thus?the pollce
the tearful landlady? the bustling coro
ner?the reporters.
"They simply fell ? sleep," said the
coroner. "The fumes of charcoal al
ways leave that peaeefnl. restful look
on the human face." M QTAX).
