"That Is almost insulting. M. Armi- tage. A distinguished statesman is killed, therefore must have murdered him. You forget that there's differ. ence between us. You are an unknown adventurer carried on the books of the police as a fugitive from justice. and can walk to the hotel and get twenty reputable men to vouch for me. ad- wise you to be careful not to mention my name in connection with Count von Stroebels death."
 He had begun jauntily. but closed in heat. and when he finished Armitage nodded to signify that he understood perfectly.
 "A few more deaths, and you would be in position to command tribute from high quarter. monsieur"
 "Your mind seems to turn upon as. sassination. If you know so much about Stroebers death it's unfortunate that you left Europe at time wben you might have rendered important aid in finding the murderer. It's bit sus- picious. Nj. Armitage! It is known at the Hotel Monte Rosa in Geneva that you were the last person to enjoy an interview with the venerable states man. You zee I am not dull, M. Armi. tagev'
 You are not dull, Chauvenet. You are only shortsighted. The same wit. nesses know that John Armitage was at the Hotel Monte Rosa for twenty.four hours following the counts departure. Meanwhile where were you, Jules Chauvenet?'
 Chauvenet's hand again went to his face, which whitened, though he sought refuge again in flippant irony.
 ITO be sure. Where was I, mon- sieur? Undoubtedly you know all my movements, so that it is unnecessary for me to have any opinions in the matter"
 Quite so! Your opinions are not of great value to me, for I employed agents to trace every move you made during the month in which Count von Stroebel was stabbed to death in his railway carriage. It is so interesting that have committed the record to memory. If the story would interest you"-
 The hand that again sought the slight mustache trembled slightly, but (,hauvanet smiled
 You should write the memoirs of your very interesting career, my dear fellow. cannot listen to your babble longer"

 "If 1t should, I shall call upon you, my dear fellowv
 Save yourself the trouble! The bu- reau I employed to investigate the matter could assist you much better. All I could offer would be copies of it's very thorough reports. The number of cups of coffee your friend Durand drank for breakfast this morning at his lodgings in Vienna will reach me in due coursew

hss riding crop.
 So acute an intellect! You are too wise to throw away your life futilely."
 You have been most generous in sparing it thus far~ laughed Armitage, and Chauvenet took instant advantage of his change of humor.
 "Perhaps--perhaps-I have pledged my faith h the wrong quarter, mon- sicur. If may say it, we are both fairly clever men; together we could achieve muchw
 "So you would sell out, would you" laughed Armitage. You miserable lit- tie blackguard, I should like to join forces with you! Your knack of get ting the poison into the right cup every time would be valuable asset! But we are not made for each other in this world. In the next-who knows"
 "As you will! dare say you would be an exacting partner"
 "All of that Chauvenet, You do best to stick to your present employer. He needs you and the like of you-I don't! But remember-if there's a sud den death in Vienna in a certain high quarter you will not live to reap the benefits. Charles Louis rules Austria Hungary. His cousin, your friend Francis, is pot of kingly proportions. I advise you so cable the amiable Du- rand of a dissolution of partnership. It is now too late for you to call at Judge Claiborne's, and shall trouble you to walk on down the road for ten minutes. If you look round or follow me, shall certainly turn you into something less attractive than a pillar of salt. You do well to consult your watch. Forward"
 Armitage pointed down the road with his riding crop. As Chauvenet walked slowly away. swinging his stick, Armitage turned toward the ho- tel. The shadow of night was infold- ing the hills, and 1t was quite dark when he found Oscar and the horseA

matters of width and depth with calm
ness which carries conviction that the
canal diggers can meet any wish OF Con-
gress IN this regard. He states that so
far as known width of 100 feet would
be ample for mercantile shipping for
many years, and that such width would
be sufficient for naval craft now under
construction or in contemplation A
warship with a width Of ninety eight
feet could get through a lock one hun
dred feet wide without difficulty; and
ninety eight feet is eight feet more than
the width of the largest battleship yet
proposed. The Colonel believes that
boats can navigate the locks more safely
with close fit than if they have many
feet of leeway. However, he says the
engineers are ready to do whatever the
President and his advisers deem best.
An increase in width can be made with
out causing alteration of any of the work
that has been done.
