In my spare hours l took to haunting
the road in which she lived, but I never
by any chance saw her, and two or three
weeks passed; but whatever purchases she
found necessary to make, at least they did
not bring her to my counter.
/ began to despair, when one afternoon
1 had occasion to pass through the how-
ers and feathers department, and saw her
with an elderly lady, whose affection
seemed to be wholly given to a box Of
roses of every shade and color that was
being displayed to her.
1 loitered behind a counter that I might
watch the girl l loved, and l heard the
lady with her say, None OF these are
quite what 1 want, can you show me
something else?"
Certainly. madam answered the as
sistant, and she mounted a short pair Of
steps to reach down some more boxes.
1t was not a dangerous position If she
had taken ordinary care, but somehow
the steps slipped, n she reached out des-
perately to save herself, and a whole
shower of heavy boxes came tumbling
down with her. ST was herself unhurt.
but In her Fall she carried Miss Grahame
to the floor also.
Fortunately I saw the boxes coming, and
was there to spring to rescue my love. but
even then I was not quite in time to save
her wholly; one Of the heavy boxes had
struck her on the temple, and she lay mo-
tionless on the floor.
1 raised her in my arms. and sought to
reassure the trembling old lady with her.
She is only stunned" I said. See, she
begins to open her eyes already"
And. sure enough, before the distracted
shop girl who had caused the accident re-
turned with restoratives, Miss Grahame
had opened her eyes to look into mine, and

head still nestled unconsciously against
my shoulder.

How much a man is like old shoes!
For instance. each a soul may lose.
Both have been tanned-both are made
tight
By cobblers-both get left and right.
Both need . mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet.
And both. in time, turn all to mold.
With shoes the last Is first; with men
The first shall be last, and when

When men wear out, they're men dead

Time passed at Standham as it
has habit of doing the world over. |
All but new boys lost it too fast
for their entire satisfaction; new
boys seldom lost it fast enough at
first. For those interested in the
football outlook, time now develop
ed a curious habit of lettering and
hurrying at the same time. The
great game between the rival
schools of Conway and Standham
could not come too soon to suit the
boys excitement; neither must it
come before the team was ready for
it. The last week before the con-
test was taken up with incessant
secret practicing. Plays and passes
and combinations were put into ac-
ton until captain and coach pro-
nounced the team letter-perfect.

this time, sure enough. "
He Shook himself and raced up
to his room. Jack was not there.
Bob threw himself on the couch.
The last few days had been so busy
he had hardly had time to think
over his great good fortune. He
had merely lived in the glow and
warmth it brought. Now his
thoughts turned the kaleidoscope of
the past ten days and found the
pictures pleasant to review. Bob
owned his weakness quicker than
his strong points. He told himself
frankly he liked to be looked up to
by the smaller boys and especially
by those of his own age and
class. The atmosphere Of admir-
alton and of hero worship
that surrounded the football team
made pleasant breathing. Not that
popularity was a stranger to Bob

shoulder since his knickerbocker
days, and to his credit be it said

The principle thus asserted by Mr..
Adams was afterwards sustained by
International commission in respect to the
precise stipulation to which he referred;
and a similar position was taken by the
United States with regard to the bind
ing obligation upon the independent state
of Texas of commercial stipulatons en-
bodied in prior treaties between the
United States and Mexico when Texas
formed a part of the latter country. But
in the present case it is unnecessary to
go so far. Even if it be admitted that
prior treaties of a political and CONNER
cial complexion generally do not bind
new state formed by separation, it is
undeniable that stipulations having a
local application to the territory err
braced in the new state continue in fore
and are binding upon the new sovereign.
Thus it Is on all hands conceded that
treaties relating to boundaries and to
rights of navigation continue in force
without regard to changes in govern
ment or in sovereignty. This principle
obviously applies to that part of the
treaty of 1916 which relates to the 18TH
mus of Panama.
In conclusion let me repeat that the
question actually before this government
is not that of the recognition of Panama
as an independent republic: That is al
ready an accomplished fact The ques-
ton, and the only question, is whether or
not we shall build an isthmain canal

notes from the minister of the republic
of Panama to this government, and 81
