He was dreadfully irritated because 1

chievous smile; an idea had struck
him.
Suddenly he seized me by the wrist,
jerked my hand away from the brake

a charmed name, being that of the

poor love sick girl who was walled up
alive in the dungeons of a convent as
q punishment for breaking her vows
The drama has kept the name before
the public from Chaucer to Lowell,

There are those who believe that the
day will dawn when at least a small
infer-oceanic canal will be constructed
across Nicaragua, utilizing the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua as
ps-t OF the waterway. Such an enter
prise would certainly prove a benefit

is inevitable that the. United States
must ever maintain a deep interest In
the welfare Of this country and its sis

United States and the great canal at
Panama. the countries Of Central Amer
lea possess the power TO impose irri-
tating II not harmful conditions upon
commerce. Closely allied with the
United States and in sympathy with its
purposes towards them and towards
the other countries which must use
the Panama canal. the republics Of
Central America will possess a con-
siderable influence over affairs at Pan
anna, especially in case the United
States became involved IN a war with
any European country. That the coun-
tries of Central America are deeply
interested in the Monroe Doctrine goes
without saying, but they are some
times forgetfu1 of the many benefits
that have been conferred upon them
by the insistence OF the United States
in maintaining that international prin-
