Colonel and Mrs Clyde were delighted
when he proposed to their daughter, and
never doubted that Miriam would be de-
lighted also. At all events she accepted
him, after little delay which Mrs. Clyde
"a clever woman-accounted tor by be-
lieving that her daughter made this hesita-
tion from the innate coquetry of her heart.
There were various young ladies who were
by no means Indifferent to the attentions OF
the wealthy young Scotchman, and Mrs.
Clyde felt inwardly assured that Miriam
only wished to appear more Indifferent than
she actually was. Mrs Clyde was anxious,
too, that Miriam should marry we'll and
early. for she knew something, though not
all, of sad and secret tragedy, which had
already darkened her young daughters
life.
"You have done charmingly for youself,
she said to Miriam, with a proud and happy
smile, when Sir James MacKennon came
down one afternoon to Newbrough-on-the-
Sea. and asked to have an interview with
Colonel Clvde, and informed him he had
the great happiness to be his daughters ac-
cepted suitor.
Everyone indeed smiled on this engage
ment except perhaps the young ladies' who
had smiled on Sir james. Some OF these
wondered what he saw in Miss Clyde, but
others were more good natured.
'She's handsome, clever girl, in good
position, that's what he sees In her, and
then her mother is no doubt an advantage
to Miriam" said one of these.
To be the daughter of Mrs. Clyde was
certainly an advantage to any girl. This
lady, who was remarkably handsome, tall;
and personable, was not only an acute
woman of the world, brilliant conversa-
tionalist, but also writer of culture and
talent. She had two daughters, one already
the wife of man high up in the service,
and Miriam. Therefore, when Miriam be-
came engaged to Sir James MacKennon,
Mrs CLYDE reflected with satisfaction that
both her children had done well. Her eldest
daughter was married to general, and her
Youngest about to be, married to Baronet,
and so Mrs. Clyde felt that her maternal
duties were almost over She in truth
thought of many other things besides her
children, and did not live only in their
lives. She was sympathetic, bnt not abb
solutely tender to them, and she was SYM
pathetic id manner at least to almost every
one,
So she made Sir James MaeKennon very
welcome at the Commandant's house at
Newbrough-on-Sea, and charmed him by
her genial witty words. Sir James, who
was in cavalry regiment, was stationed at
Halstone, a town about ten miles distant
from Newtrough-on-Sea,a and it was at hall
at Halstone that he had first seen Miriam

Leon, which numbers $4,000 people. The
people are very enterprising and they are
anxious to see the canal completed.
"The canal will cross the country from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, covering dis
tance, all told, of nearly 170 miles. The
most of this distance, however, has a water
way constructed by nature and we have less
than 80 miles of cutting to do We start in
at the harbor of Greytown, and it is here
that our men are working now, and after we
have cut this distance we reach the great
San Juan river and sail through it right
into Lake Nicaragua. The ships then 60
across Lake Nicaragua and with very little
cutting out at the other end, right into the
Pacific through a short canal there"
"But how about these rivers and the lake?
How do you get into them and are they big
enough for the canal?"
Lake Nicaragua Is q Sea.
'Lake Nicaragua, replied Senator
Miller, 'is an inland sea- 1t covers twice
as much space as Rhode Island and more,
and is 100 feet above the sea. We have to

DANCES OF THE INDIANS.

Some Other Styles of Terpsichorean Fes-
tivity of the EARLY Ages.
The Indians of North America were
great dancers, and used every opportunity
to indulge, but it must be said that there
was nothing beautiful about it. Even to-
day they have their ghost dances, rellg-
ious ceremony, which the United States
Government endeavors to prohibit. The
minuet is said to have been first danced by
Louis XIV in 1858. while the quadrille.
which is also OF French origin. was first
brought into favor in England in 1913. The
waltz, which is the national German dance,
was introduced about the same time.
The morice dance belongs to parts of
England, and is quite old, and the saraband
is a slow and stately Spanish dance. Tho
polka is Bohemian, and invented about 60
years ago. obtaining its name in Prague;
and the Virginia reel is the American name
of the Sir Roger de Coverley. The schot-
tisehe and galop are merely variations of the
polka

CHAPTER /.
A STRANGE RECOGNITION.

STRANGE RECOGNITION.
A gray sky and a gray-green sea, for the
great waters were rejecting the sombel
coloring of the clouds; and some of Their
gloom seemed also to have fallen on the
face of a young girl who was standing on
the shore, whose lover was pleading to her
to fix the wedding day.
ooh! Sir James; that is far too soon, she
said, as the young man paused.
elbow can you say so, Miriam?" he an
swered. "We have been engaged a
month already now, and surely another
month added to that is long enough to
wait?''
"Most of people are engaged six months, y
replied the girl with downcast eyes; "some
people six years"
"Six years! What nonsensel Why ]
shall be an old man in six year"
- "And 1 shall be getting on to be an old
woman" said Miriam, smiling.
"Now don't tease SO; there's darling
Without joking, Miriam, do let US fix the
time? Mrs. Clyde quite agrees with me
that there's no good in waiting any longer. F"
'Mother is always in such hurry about
things"
'eBut it's not being in hurry to be en-
gagged two months; and besides 1 want to
take you abroad before the winter comes in
earnest, and it's really quite chilly to-day. "
eyes, it is" and the girl gave little
shiver and looked up at the gloomy clouds.
She was tall, slim and dark-eyed, with a
mobile expressive face, and white swan
like throat. People as rule called Miriam
Clyde handsome. but she scarcely looked
handsome as she stood there by her lover,
beneath the darksome sky, embarrassed,
and unwilling to accede to the request She
was the daughter of Colonel Clyde, Of the
Artillery, who at this time commanded the
garrison of Newbrough-on-the-Sea, and she
was a girl who was always greatly admired.
There was charm about her, men said,
which many women, actually more beauti-
full, did not possess; charm in her manner,
her grace, and in her bright and winning
tongue, And she had SO charmed the tall
young Scotchman, Sir James Mack lennon,
who was now standing by her side, that af-
ter a very short acquaintance he had offered
himself and all his worldly possessions for
her acceptance
He was baronet, we'll off, and of ancient
family, and fairly good-looking, and both

An Enchanting Dish Made by q Combina-

Rice 'cheeses are true luncheon dainty
and will be appreciated where hot dishes

irons in order, we'll heated and buttered,
put a layer of cold reeve trust it is a
light mass of snowy, well-cooked kernels
of Carolina head rice-in the bottom of each

put layer of grated cheese; afterward q
second layer of rice, salt, pepper and butter.
and finally second layer of the grated
cheese.
Place the muffin iron in hot oven, with
hot tin cover over the rings until the
cheese is thoroughly melted into the rice.
Take off the tin cover and brown daintily
on top. Serve hot. These cheeses can be
made in the family "gem-pan.

Eennepin Canal may at some time connect
Lake Michigan with the Mississippi and
an ocean steamer might come in through an

Chicago and on through this canal down the
