A Boomerang
By ANDREW C. EWING
"it's till up wiilj me. Sadie!"
"What In the world Is the mutter?"
"I'm tired."
"From your position ?"'
"Yes."
"What lor?"
"Well, you know that when I was
graduated from the electrical school
I was offered it situation In the otlieo
of the Metealf company, of which Mr.
Metcalf is president and principal
stockholder. I supposed the position
would be permanent It turns out that
the Metcalf company had put in a bid
on the crection of an electrical plant
and had been awarded the contract
Mr. Metcalf wanted some one to assist
in making figures on the specifications
and hired me for that purpose. The
formula belli? now completed, he has
uo further use for me."
"How dishonorable lu him not to
have told you in the beginning that
you were simply employed for the
Job."
"If he had 1 would have declined his
offer, for 1 had a permanent one offered
me at a lower salary. I've been work
ing nights f»r sis months besides my
day work and have a whole closet full
of es Li mat i figured out that I wouldn't
do over again for a thousand dollars.
I received only 9000 for the whole
period of my service. I'm sorry,
Sadie, that wo can't tlx the date we
expected to (is for our wedding. I
shall have to hunt for another place,
ami when i get one 1 can't tell whether
I shall be in-ated in the same shabby
fashion."
"Well. i?ii'i. I expect you'll find the
world full of disappointments."
"Ye«. and when I Ret knocked down
I propose to get up atnl push on."
"Uood! If you feel that way you're
sure to win in the eml."
But l»ol> found getting another place
difficult. Engineers were being gradu
ated every June, and those just enter
ing the field were ready to work cheap.
[ Besides, dull times came on. and it
was tiiilie' ;t for those having positions
to hold tin • i. His fiancee was always
hopeful and cheered him so far as she
[ could.
One day the young engineer was cau
eil up on a lelophotie. On answering
the call he learned that the person
on the other end of the wire was the
president of the Metealf company.
"Would it lie possible." lit* asked,
"for you to rei-all froui memory the
formuia you made for the electrical
plant we bid on while you were with
us?"
".No. sir."
There was no further word for a
moment, but llob knew that the receiv
er had r.ot been hung up.
'•Why do you ask? Has anything
happened to the formula I made for
you
"Yes. Last night our safe was bro
ken into, and it was taken with other
moneys ar.d securities, and there is
no certainty of our ever recovering it.
We must begin work immediately in
order to get the job finished according
to contract"
Bob opened lib eyes, but not his
mouth, lie knew that the company
net tini>!: (1 on time. Indeed, It could
not begin without making a new formu
la. At length he said:
"1 could help you out. Mr. Metealf,
but I don't think you treated me right
in nut telling me when you employed
me that it was for this job only I
did a great deal of work home at
nights and simply took results to the
otlice All that home work I have and
could easily reconstruct the formula
from it"
r.ob could hear a suppressed ex
clamation of joy.
"You can come back to work If you
like." said the president, "and I'll raise
your salary."
"Thank you. I don't care to enter
your employ again."
"I'll make it permanent"
"That doesn't tempt me either."
"What do you ask for the figures
yon have?"
"They are not for sale. Flad I been
retained permanently in your employ
I would give them to you, or if I had
been told that 1 was hired simply for
the job I would do the same. As it is
1 am under no obligations to you."
There was silence for a few moments
when the question came, "Will you
be at home this evening?" to which
Bob replied that he would.
When Mr. Metealf called in the even
ing he looked very much broken. lie
offered Bob $10,000 if he would re
construct the formula. Bob declined
the oCTer. but made a counter proposi
tion. He proposed that they should
submit the case to the heads of other
concerns to decide between them what
the cost should be, both to be bound
by. their decision. The offer was ac
cepted. and an average amount of what
the arbitrators figured as a proper pay
ment was iMS.nOO.
But a different arrangement was
made. Mr. M*tcalf sold a controlling
interest in the company to the vice
president and resigned the presidency.
Bob was given a position at $3,000 a
year for five years and restored the
formula as an employee without
charge. His ability to do so saved the
company from rnin.
Bob never said a word to his fiancee
about the loss of the formula till the
matter was settled between him and
the Metealf company. When he did
so he held her in a bear hug.
Bob aud Sadie were married long
ago. and Bob is now one of the princi
pal managers of the Metealf company. J
A NARROW
ESCAPE
By SAMUEL E. BRANT
When young Mrs. Marshall carao to
I*, knowing that the start one makes
socially in a place counts for a good
deal, she made herself agreeable to
every one. became familiar with only
the best, was careful that her costumes
were cut In the latest fashion, and,
since the dominant circle admitted of
cavaliers for their prominent members,
she rather encouraged the attentions
of Huntington Dabney.
it must be admitted that keeping
Mr. Dabney up to his duties as her
cavalier was hard work. His main ac
complishment was leading a cotillion,
and be was not known to have any
secondary oue. Mrs. Marshall could
stand to be put In a straitjacket cos
tume and listen to society gossip, in
cluding private quarrels and the mis
hap of the Inst social climber who had
fallen from an upper round of the lad
der to the bottom, but found it tire
some, indeed, to pretend to be flirting
with Huntington Dabney In a solitary
corner at a function in order to main
tain a reputation for being one of those
ladies to whom husband and children
are a bore. And It was the harder for
her because she was devoted both to
her husband and her children. As for
Mr. Marshall, she told him In the be-,
ginning what her designs really
amounted to, hut he didn't take suffi
cient interest in the matter to remem
ber the explanation.
Among the other penalties Mrs. Mar
shall must pay for effecting an entrance
Into L. society was the sitting In tight'
slippers fur several hours at dinner par*?,
ties. Her feet were teuder, and fo*-<
this reason her footwear was mad&j>f ;
light material, but even silken slipped1
made very small, binding the feet for,
hours on a stretch, will at last caiisq
pain. It was sitting thus at a dinner
party for an unusually long period that
brought about a mishap to Mrs. MaiC*
shall that came very near plunging her.
to the foot of the social ladder and
rendering her fall so unfortunate that
she would not have been able to begin
to climb again
At the diuner In question Mr. Dab
ney was assigned to take Mrs. Mar
shall out, .Mr. Marshall having been
honored by being assigned to the host

after enduring a long period of suffer
ing she slipped it off. Mr. Dabney.
who was a restless man, must needs
kick his legs about under the table till
he sent the slipper off to parts un
known. When at Inst the Innumera
ble courses had been finished and a
pousse cafe put a close upon the feast
the diners arose to go into another part
of the house for a cotillion.

time boon feeling with her toe for the
missing slipper, finding that without
some expedient she must go with the
others In a stocking foot, so to speak,
when the party were rising, kept her
seat, talking very hard to her cavalier,
pretending to be so wrapt In ber sub
ject as not to notice the movement
Of course the gentleman kept his seat,
too, and was all attention. The lady
watched nut of the corner of ber e-e
the retiring guests and saw that no
especial notice was taken of her re
maining behind. As soon as the oth
ers were all gone she Informed Mr.
Dabney that she had lost her slipper
under the table and had lagged behind
to recover it. Dabuey started to get it
himself, but the lady stopped biro and,
getting down, groped for the missing
article. It was dark down there, and
Mrs. Marshall was nearsighted. She
hunted some time without success.
Then Mr. Dnbney's gallantry got the
better of bis discretion, and down he.
too, went under the table to help.
The host had scarcely left the dining
room before be proposed that the men
return for a pony brandy. Several of
the ladies whose beads were not easily
overturned by spirituous beverages de
clared that they, too, wanted "anoth
er." Suddenly the dining room door
was thrown open, and a merry party
entered. Mrs. Marshall, realizing the
horror of the situation of being caught
under the table with her cavalier,
whispered to bim:
"For heaven's sake be still!"
Mr. Dabney obeyed orders. What
else could be do? The host poured the
liquor and all were standing around
the table ready to drink when those
under It beard him say:
"What the deuce became of Dabney
and .Mrs. Marshall? They didn't leave
the dining room with the rest of us."
"They must have gone out by anoth
er door." suggested one of the women.
"Drink her down." said the host,
"and we'll go and look for them. Tbey
must have gone up that stairway. 1
don't nllow any scattering in my
bouse." he added jocularly.
The revelers tossed off the brandy
nnd ran laughing up the staircase.
4.3 soon as the last one had disap
peared Mrs. Marshall scrambled out
and ran like a deer to an unoccupied
music room, followed by Mr. Dabney
with the slipper. Then Mrs. Marshall
sat down to a piano and began to run
over the keys. This brought those
who hunted for them, and all ex
claimed:
"How did yon do it?"
When Mrs. Marshall that night be
fore going to bed told her husband of
the narrow escape she had bad he
looked at her in holy horror.

DEAFNESS CANNOT SF CUBED
by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachia
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound of imper
Cf-U hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and u
less the lnflamtion can b e 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
lug but an inflamed condition of the
