majestically. and then, between great
curtains Of mist, the day star was seen
shining in the east.
The night was hushed, and the peace
| that fails before dawn was upon the
| wet, fat lands. Somewhere in the sod
den grass a swamped cricket chirped;
from an outlying flange Of the village
| dogs howl rose mournfulfy; It was
answered by another far away and by
another and another. The sonorous
chorus rose above the village, died
away, and quiet fell again.
Helen sat by the window, no comfort
touching her heart Tears coursed her
cheeks no longer, but her eyes were
wide and staring, aud her lips parted
breathlessly, for the hush was broken
by the far clamor Of the courthouse
bell ringing In the night. 1t rang and
rang and rang and rang. She could
not breathe. She threw open the wiz
dow. The bell stopped. All was quiet
once more. The east was gray.
Suddenly out Of the stiffness there
came the sound Of horse galloping
over wet road. He was coming like
mad Some one for doctor? No; the
hoof beats grew louder, coming out
from the town, coming faster and
faster, coming here. There was q

house and sharp whoa" In the

CONSTRUCTING THE CANAL.
The Bohio Dam Will Be the Great En-
aineerinq Feat of the Enterprise.

| Washington, March 21.--At the hear
| ing of the canal comnaittee at which
| Admiral Walker was present consider
able discussion was INDUCED III as 70
what provision should be made in the
proposed law regarding the disburse-
nlent of money and the auditing of ac-
counts, but no conclusion was reached.
The admiral wanted every safeguard
possible in this connection.
The engineering features of the work
were explained at some length, as well
as the intense interest which prospect
i've contractors already are taking In
the matter. The admiral said that on
the steamer on which the commission
was to sail staterooms had been en-
gagged to the capacity OF the ship by
the agents of prospective contractors.
who wanted to look the ground over. In
this connection he advised that no re-
quirement of law should make II neces-
sary to do the work by contract, as he
believed contractors might combine to
the disadvantage of the government. It
was the intention of the commission,
he said, to continue actual work on
the canal as now being carried out by
the French company, in order to dem-
onstrate the exact cost of such work
The engineering feat of the whole
enterprise was explained to be the con-
struction of the Bohio dam. 1t would
be necessary to go 100 feet below the
sea level to get the proper foundation
for the dam. Altho there have been
many bcrings for rock bottom, Adj
miral Walker said that mary more
would have to be made. because it was
essential that the engineers should be
absolutely certain of the proper found
alton before beginning the work.
Possibility Of Failure.
Chairman Hepburn suggested the
possibility of failure to find the
proper foundation and asked what the
commission would do irS this event. He
wanted to know If the construction Of
the canal depended on this dam.
That was a question which would
have to be met, was the answer. The
admiral however, said he had no doubt
that 1t was feasible to construct the
dam. On the question of a sea levei
Admiral Walker declared positively
necessary to go to the expense OF con-
stfuctlnS Such a canal. lock cdnai
would do all the work required and
cost much less.
Representative Harrison. Of New
York. explained to the committee the
provisions of his bill for the govern
ment OF the canal zone. This bill pro-
vides for a committee of twenty bust:
ness men. the engineering work to be
supervised by corps OF engineers.

out after a long vigil at the bedside OF
a patient, DIR. John Edward Janney
early yesterday morning stepped into

not note the difference. and only when
he had swallowed three ounces of the
