Their Married Life
By MABEL HERBERT URNER.

magazine, which Helen got out for
him, but in spite of the heat he was
soon doing. Helen leaned back and
closed her eyes, but tired as she was
she could not sleep. Every few
moments she glanced at her watch
Surely time never passed so slowly
At last the guard came through
shouting something in French. War
rem woke up, looked at his watch and
said II must be "dejeuner"
They made their way back to the
dining car. but it was already
crowded, and they had TO sit at ia
Bile with two others The car was
small and stuffy, the shades were
possibly to shut out the glar-
ing sun-and the electric lights were
lit.
Like An Asylum.
A wine card was on each table. but
there was no other menu. The same
meal was served to every one. Per
spring French walters dashed back
and forth and from great dishes
spOoned out the food on each plate.
Helen had once seen a meal served
in charity asylum where the in
mates had their food dished out to
them in just this way.
Dear, ] CAN'T eat when thew
shovel things at me Ike this" she
protested Indignantly as one Of the
walters flung on her plate a spoon
fui of boiled fish and another of
mashed potatoes.
Guess you'll have to take it as YOU
get 1t here, muttered Warren. whose
realization that he could not talk
French had subdued his usual domi-
neering attitude toward walters.
Here a waiter passed along with
great basket of bread on his arm
slamming down a piece by each plate.
Helen pushed back her plate in flu
rious resentment. For once she want
ed Warren to put up a protest-a
strong one. He was always roar
ing at walters at the slightest cause.
but now he was calmly eating his
lunch, ignoring the insoIence of the
service.
What's the use of putting up a
kick?' he shrugged. They've got the
best of us and they know it. We can't
walk out to another place, so we'll
have to put up with this or go with
out till We get to Paris"
No, ! don't want anything elsei"
exclaimed Helen GROSSLY. waving back
the man who took off her top plate
and began to dish out roast beef on
the one underneath. But he chartered
something in French and shoveled out
her portion unheeding.
For Helen that luncheon was a most
unhappy one and she was glad 10

Suit Too Warm.

Her travelling suit was much too
warm for this intense and unexpected
heat. her stiff linen collar was chat
ing her neck. her shoes hurt her, anu
she could have cried with sheer dis
comfort.
Resolutely she took from her hand
bag the guide book to Paris. IN
folding a map of the heart Of the
city she tried to fix the principal
streets in her mind Then she turned
to read up about the hotels.
Warren was determined to try an
address some one had given him on
the steamer real French place, not
known to Americans, and where one
could get the real French atmosphere,
unspoiled by tourists. But Helen
thought they would fare better where
English was spoken and where they
could have some of their accustomed
Conveniences.
She marked several Of the hotels
which the guide book particularly
recommended as having private baths
and adj modern improvements.
"Hawleys gone to sleep an
nounced Warren in tone of disgust,
as he now came in and flung himself
down beside Helen. It's too infer
naIly hot to sleep. I told you we'd
get it hot in Paris. Wish they'd

'dejeuner,' as they call 1t" glancing
at his watch. They've got dinky
,little dining car back there, but it
won't be open until 1890. Got any
thing to read? Bring any of those
magazines we had on the steamer?

The extent of these slides has been perfectly ap- paillng over twenty million cubic yards in extent, but the backbone of these slides has now apparently been broken, and Colonel GoethalS con- fidently predicts that water will be turned into the Culebra Cut some time this fall and the balance of the total area of these slides is over 200 acres and it has made it neces- sary at the deepest part of the cut, to change the prism of the canal which originally was but 670 feet wide on top. to a width of 1900 feet The depth of the Culebra Cut at the deepest point is 320 feet; the bottom is 40 feet above sea level, and it is proposed that when the water is turned in a depth of 45 feet shall at all times be maintained The canal, when passing through the cut, is 300 feet wide, widening where angles occur so that vessel 1000 feet long may make the turn with perfect ease.

revels From this stronghold gold and silver were carried by mule train across the isthmus to Puerto Bello on the Atlantic seaboard, (Where one ot the United States rock quarries is now established) and loaded in Spanish salleons for transport to Spain. Fortunate, indeed, were they if they escaped Sir Fran cis Drake and other English privateers who made the Carib- bean Sea famous for their ex- plots. In 1870 the English bucca- neer, Morgan. crossed the isthmus and burned the ancient city of Pa hama.
