Want DIFFICULT Eye Cases. All I Ask is That YOU Investigate at My Expense My Knifeless Method Which Has Cured 'So Many Cases After Others Have Failed. DONT GO BLIND-VISION IS TOO PRECIOUS. I want to meet with, or hear from every man, woman or child afflicted with diseases of the eye. I don't care who the person is or what their eye trouble may be, I will be able to convince them ABSOLU CELY FREE that my painless treatment will do more for them than any other method known to the profession. By this 1 do not mean there are not some isolated oases that cannot be cured, but I do mean to say emphatically that many and many difficult cases which have been termed incurable by others have been permanently - cured by my Absorption treatment. One of the things that lam 'XSMjrz, proud of is in the uninterrupted WC/ZZ successful career covering many fIHEw WrZ years. I have eliminated the necessity of using the dangerous and ■H&kkZx \ SkyZZ/Z/'/ painful knife on the delicate eye, ■MMB/z"' '.ng- F//ZZZZZ an d there is hardly a day passes \7//jW/ but what I make cures where oth2 I * kzzzZ// ers have advised that only an oper®B7/7zZ> Ji L r77/z/ / . ation would bring relief. My suc'Wr///'/// Mak J fzz/z/ ////> cess has not been brought about 'sHl// (/// V/// .////// by a cure to-day and a failure towV//// i///// ///// morrow, but it has been a uniform %////,/■ ////J success. Take for instance my y'///ZW treatment for Cataract, which is NJ/ I I( //////////// one of the most dreadful and most >Lllluy- Z'ZZZz/'/z obstinate troubles to deal with, fzZjjjggZZk \\w? —/ X/- ‘''/T///// other oculists tell you it can only _/ 1 ' '''/////> he treated successfully by means '///// of a dangerous operation. To-day m y treatment is pronounced the .'/ZZwZ/zSovVjyX tJ • > ' temkUTfiiX/ only SURE knifeless treatment ■ Iz//X//ZVZ/V/Z/X T''T1 — known. And why? Because the I \ I cures have been so uniform. Had 'u J /IrUlTlftr//I/\ \l I llm\ I only cured a few cases nowand W/l/lnil iKf/// \ \»1 then, it would be said, "You might llXlf/// \ \A V/z/Zz/tJiI b* cured by Dr. Madison's treatV///A Bi// N//// \ 'll XiillllWA’ ment,” but it is the uniformity of (///// IB / Xi/// \ 11 W ///iV cures in the most difficult cases Hill InLl lIX fl/ \ It V/< 'll that causes people to say, "You II Ink W’/li \ 11 Vi v cau Positively be cured by the •JI llllvl l\\\/li ' ' w z Madison Absorption Method." ' '/nXIIWIIiK V Take for instance, these few tes'b/yst ' ' Y timoniuls taken at random ! Mrs. F.L. Wintermute, 121 Second AMERICA'S MASTER OCULIST. St., Jackson, Mich., under date of (copyrighted) October 18. 1906, writes: r ‘After having been repeatedly told that there was no cure for my cataracts except an operation, to-day my eyes are perfect by means of your knifeless home treatment. I have regained my vision in six months." Mr. C. W, Johnson, of Grand Detour, 111., in a recent letter said, in part: ”1 deem it a pleasure, as well as a duty to mankind, to certify to the benefits received from using your absorption treatment for cataracts. Mrs. Johnson was treated by many physicians. YOU CURED HER." I personally devote my entire time and study to the Eye, and I assure my patients prospective patients my personal attention, even to the smallest details. No matter what Sou are suffering from—whether from Cataract,. Inflammation. Pannus, Ptosis, Optic erve Trouble, or in fact any affliction of the vision—l cau successfully treat you. I guarantee a perfect, permanent cure for Cross Eyes, whether it be internal or external strabismus, without the use of the knife, with absolutely no risk, pain or inconvenience, without confining my patient to a dark room for a moment, or without the use of a single bandage. ( VISION IN LIFE-BLINDNESS IN OBLIVION. If you value your eyesight, no matter what your disease, no matter what your thought, investigate. It is not going to cost you any money to prove to your entire satisfaction that my treatment is all I claim for it, for all I ask of you is to send me your name and address, no matter where you live, and 1 will send you FREE an 80-page booklet, illustrated in colors, which is a classic on diseases of the eye. I will tell you who I am, what I have accomplished, and will tell you in detail of the more common troubles, their causes, their effects and their cure. Also ther things of value to you. This is all for the mere asking. Can you afford to delay ? Write me today and relieve your mind. My office hours are from 10:00 a. m. until 5:00 p. tn; Sundays, from 9:00 a. m. to. 11:00 a m. only. Special appointment, however, can be made by letter or wire. P, C. MADISON, M. 0.

WHEN THE FLOOD CAME

o«o»o»o*o»o«oo»o*o*o»o*o*o Jennings sprang forward as the passengers entered at the Fulton street station. In the first moment of gladness at seeing Nell Preston again he did not even recall that his letters bad been returned without explanation three months before and that since then his communications had been returned unread. Nell passed him without a glance of recognition, and as he followed her down the car a hand shot out and caught his collar. “See here, you dude,” abjured a husky Irish voice. “You can’t do any mashing in this car. You keep away from that lady.\ Jennings cast a look of appeal at the girl, but she gazed at him with a polite but Impersonal Interest. Clearly she would not interfere to clear him of the charge, and he sank back into n corner of the car and sought to shield himself with a newspaper from the titters of the crowd. The car filled at the bridge stop, and this helped a little, but he felt as though those already In the car were telling the new arrivals of his conduct, and he read on steadily. In his confusion he did not notice that the train was slowing down until, with a jolt. It came to a dead stop. Then he glanced out of the window, but to his surprise there was only the blank wall, so he settled himself more comfortably In his seat and resumed his pretense of reading. He did not see the printed page. He had not read a line since be opened the paper. His mind was busy with schemes for Inducing Nell to listen to him. If she went back to San Francisco he could not hope to reopen correspondence, and he could not endeavor to speak to her again with that husky knight errant keeping guard across the aisle. If he only knew how he had angered her he might be able to explain, but

HE TOILED ALONG FOR A BLOCK BEFORE HE COULD SPEAK.

it never would do to let her get away now. He did not know where she was staying or how long she would be In town. His only hope lay In following her and endeavoring to outwit the self constituted champion. His mind was still busy with the problem When he became aware of trouble in the car. The press around the door was heavy, and now he caught the voice of the guard raised in protest. “I tell you,” he protested, "we can’t run on to the station or back down to Worth street. We ain’t got the power.” “The lights are lit. There must be power,” argued the spokesman. “That comes from overhead. The contact rail is cut off. If it wasn’t the whole tunnel would be filled with electricity. The water’s more than two feet deep.” Jennings looked up In astonishment. He had been so oblivious to the affairs in the car that he had not realized that the stop in the hot tunnel had been unduly long. Now he was conscious of the faint roar of falling water, and he sprang to his feet. Instinctively he turned to Nell, but the press about the door would not permit him to make any headway toward her, He could qjtch an occasional glimpse of the fair head and could see that she was sitting In her place, white faced, but calm. The argument with the guard was increasing In heat, and at last one of the leaders Jerked at the lever until the door opened, and then he swung himself off. There was a splash that announced his landing, and the next moment a shout announced that the water was not deep. The men crowded to the narrow entrance until there were left In the car only half a dozen women and two or three men. The husky man across the aisle was the last to go, and as he turned to the door he stepped back into the car. , “If you’re waiting to speak to the lady you’d better drop off,” he declared. “I told the guard to keep an eye on you. He’« a wise boy all right Now you behave, Gussle, or some one will spank you.” The burly form swung down off the car. Deprived of the protection of most of the men, the women left In

the car grew nervous, and most of them crowded about the guard asking questions. With growing Irritability he explained that something had broken and had flooded the subway, but he did not know what It was or how long it would last. Nell, sitting unnoticed in the center of the car, grew more and more nervous. Most of the women who had congregated about the guard settled themselves near the door. It appeared to give them a feeling of greater security to be close to the exit. Occasionally one would slip out to the doorway and, returning, report the increase of the flood. With each recurring report Nell grew more restless, and, at last she came forward uncertainly and sat beside the others. They Ignored her completely in their excitement, and so she turned to the guard. His patience, already sorely tried, gave way, and with a curt remark that If she had been listening she was already in possession of all the information he possessed he turned into the other car. Tremblingly she turned back, and as she passed him Jennings sprang up. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “I don't suppose that there Is anything much the matter. They have been opening the sides of the subway along here for ventilators, and I suppose that the rain has softened the dirt and caused a water main to snap. If there was any real danger they would probably come after us. I suppose It merely means a vexatious delay.” “Mother will be so worried,” she said plaintively. “I went downtown to see about some business for her. We were to have started home tonight.” “I am afraid you will have to wait over until tomorrow,” he said quietly. “They will have to bring down pumps from the yards at the other end of the line. It will take some time to clear the tunnel. If you want me to I think I can fix it.” Jennings stepped into the next car. “Which is the nearest station?” he asked, “Worth or Canal?” “Worth, I guess,” was the noncommittal response. “Better go that way if you want to make the trip. Water’s pretty deep now.” “I’ll chance it,” was the easy answer. He stepped back into the other car and beckoned to Nell. “We can make the trip if you don’t want to remain here,” he suggested. “I could never wade through all that water,” she shuddered. “I can carry you,” he explained. “We will go to the rear car, and I’ll drop off, then catch you and carry you back to Worth street. It is just a short trip.” “I thought you were told to keep away from that lady,” snarled the guard, welcoming the prospect of a fight if only to relieve his feelings. “This gentleman is an old friend of mine,” said Nell. “Please go away.” The disappointed guard settled back In a seat, and they passed on. At the rear of the train Jennings dropped off, then raised his arms.

“Take it easy,” he warned, and a moment later he bad her safe. The water was above bis knees, and from its surface rose a thick foul steam that was almost stifling. He toiled along for a block before he could speak. Then he looked down Into the pale face resting against his shoulder* “Why are you angry?” he said. “What have I done?” “The last letter I read,’’ she said slowly, “was written to another girl and in an assumed hand. I did not think that you could be so base.” “A letter to Grace?” he asked eagerly. “Yes,” she assented. Jennings laughed. “That’s why Jimmie Belding doesn't hear from her any more. We thought It funny we both should get in trouble at the same time. The letters got mixed. No more writing In my rooms.” They went on in the. darkness, and presently Jennings spoke again. “I am afraid that you will not get that train tomorrow, either,” he said. “What is the matter?” she asked, rousing herself from the lethargy that had been Induced by the fumes from the flood. “I’m going to marry you tomorrow,” he explained. “Yes, dear,” she agreed, “if we ever get out of this.” He pointed ahead to where the lights of the station gleamed through the vapor. "It’s not far now to home and happiness,” he said. “Happiness with you,” she murmured aa she raised her face to receive his kiss. “I'm glad I was caught in that flood.”

Bouctcault’s "The Colleen Bawn."

The speed with which Dion Boucicault worked is illustrated in this story of “The Colleen Bawn” in "Famous Actor Families In America,” by Montrose G. Moses. “The Colleen Bawn" followed his “Vanity Fair,” which, produced by Laura Keene, proved to be a failure. The actress had thereupon turned in distress to the dramatist. “What have you put in its place?” she had queried. “Nothing,” came the reply. But that night Boucicault stopped at a bookstore and purchased the above mentioned volume, which he read from cover to cover through the early morning. Then he wrote in all haste to Miss Keene: My Dear Laura—l have it! I send you seven steel engravings of scenes around Klllarney. Get your scene painter to work on them at once. I also send a book of Irish melodies with those marked I desire Baker to score for the orchestra. I shall read act 1 of my new Irish play on Friday; we rehearse that while I am writing the second, which will be ready on Monday, and we rehearse the second While I am doing the third. We can get the play out within a fortnight
