Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, they cannot reach
the dlicaaed portion of the ear. There la
only one way to cure catarrhal eeafneai,
and that la by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness ia caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Euatnchian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless tho
Inflammation can be reduced and this tubs
restored to Its normal condition, hearinif
will be destroyed forever. Many cases 01'
deafness are caused by catarrh, which it)
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acta thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of tts
system.

and within a week tested Ingenuity,
courbge and the timber he was mad
of iu a signally exciting way.
lie had dallied la the train shed of
a big railroad to wave a uVpartlug
adieu to a friend just as another train
pulled In. He stood for a moment,
casually watching the puxeucr

-Oh, narry! I an so gladr and

a pair of arms encircled his neck and

Then, with a dismayed cry, the he

scarlet and incolurently stammered:
"I thouEht It was my brother I"
tier embarrassment was relieved at
a man approached her, sud Wulter
started away, lifting his cap, not ou
bit sorry for the mistake, but tyo much
of a gentleman to remain and further
confuse the young lady.
"This Is Mis Ward," ha heard the
man say, aa be tendered a card to th
young lady which she glanced at casu
ally and listened closely to an evident
explanation. She picked up her suit
case and with the man walked through
the gates aud out Uon the side depot
platform. He signaled a cab and
helped the young lady Into It. . She
dropped something white as aha
crossed the platform. Walter picked
it up. It was a printed card, bearing
the name, "Harry Ward," and an ad
dress. A shriek echoed out It was followed
by a crash. As tho Vehicle whlxxcd
around a corner there was a clatter of
glass as the puuo lu the door was
pushed through.
Wulter rnu to the corner. The cab
was proceeding more rapidly. As It
passed under an electric himp ho

"I'd know him BRuln," soliloquized
Walter, and "und I wonder wlmt this

"Mr. WnnlT Yes, sir," spoke the
ninld who unswered his summon. "Ho

led Walter up a flight of stairs, tapped
at a door and left him to his own de
vices. '
"Come In," spoke a muscullne voice.
"Who Is itr
The moment Walter's eye rested on
the occupant of tho bed be traced a
close rcHi'mblimr-y to the girl on the
train.

plred that has caused me some alarm
and has led me to seek you out," and
briefly but cleiirly Walter narrated the
circumstances of the hour.
ITarry Ward looked curious, auspi
cious and then deeply alarmed. Ills
face grew pale and troubled.
"I must get up at once," he spoke
excitedly, "Estelle, my sister I Oh II
see It all. She hus been kidnaped to
prevent but you are a stranger and It
cannot Interest you. I met with a bad
fall today and one foot Is crippled.
That was why I was unable to meet
my sister, I counted on her being safe
to come here alone."
"You mistake If you think I am not
sufficiently Interested to wish to be of
some practical help to yourself and
your sister," observed Walter, earnest
ly. "It Is plain to me that mystery,
villainy Is Involved. You are helpless
to pursue the man who has seemingly
deluded Miss Ward Into believing that
you sent him to represent you. Tell
me as little or as much as you choose,

It was a somewhat remarkable story
that Harry Ward recited. He was en
gaged In prosecuting a claim of his
dead father. The opposition bad
fought the case. A final decision la
court was now pending and the evi
dence of Miss Word, her brotlior's law
