trillo, who leaves this week for Europe
on an important mission for his govern
ment, declared in a statement tonight that
he believed canal treaty would be ne
gotiated between the United States and
Nicaragua. and that canal would be
constructed across his country
Frequent Visits to Bryan
The Nicaraguan diplomat has been a
frequent caller at the state department
since Secretary Bryan came into office
and the later, after an extensive study
and the latter, after an extensive study
treaty negotiations, has said that his mind
is Open The canal treaty. an inheri-
tance from the Taft administration, was
negotiated by Mr.. Weitzel last winter
and has received the approval of the Mic
araguan government. BY its terms Mica
ragua. for 100000, would grant the
United States the exclusive right to con-
struet canal across Nicaragua by way
of the San Juan river and Lake Nica-
ragua. This government also would have
a right to acquire coalng station in
the Bay of Fonseica on the Pacific coast

PROLOGUE

This humorous tale, written
in McCutcheon's best vein, is
faulless in its morals, despite its
title, and cumulative in its inter-
est. 1t may be stated in strict
confidence that Edith did not
actually have more than one hus-
band; consequently the gentle
reader need harbor no aPpre-
hensfon on this score. Like all
other esfimable married women,
Edith had only one husband, but
circumstances arose through
which it seemed necessary for
her husband TO be TN two places
at the same time, and how this
was accomplished and what the
outcome was But wait a bit; let
George Barr McCutcheon, the
prince of story telters, unfold
the romance.
