were very small, our suction dragged
at them cruelty. AS usual thing four
vociferous figures chung desperately to
a rope passed around one of the snub-
bling posts ashore, while an old man
dhow itself. AS they never by any
chance thought of mooring her both
stem and stern, the dhow generally
changed ends rapidly, shipping consid-
cradle water in the process. 1t must
be very trying to get so excited in a
hot climate.
The high sand banks of the early
part of the day soon dropped lower to
afford us wider view. In its broad,
general features the country was,
quite simply, the desert of Arizona
over again.
We reached the end of the canal
about three o'clock of the afternoon,
and dropped anchor far off low-lying
shores. Our binoculars showed US
white houses in apparently single rank
along far-reaching, narrow sand-pit,
with sparse trees and a railway line.
That was the town of Suez, and
seemed so little interesting that we
were not particularly sorry that we
could not go ashore. Far in the dis
lance were mountains; and the water
all about us was the light, clear green
of the sky at sunset.

Thanking Augustin DAILY.

Like many other players who were
with Augustin Daily, Helen Lowell is
fond of the memories of that great
man and the days she spent in his
company. When William Collier was
call boy at Days Miss Lowell was a
member of the company. Christmas
eve as they left the theater each men,
Der wac handed package which was
the present from DAILY. The next day
Willie Collier, who was very fond of
Miss Lowell, came to her and pro-
posed going to Mr.. Daily and thanking
him for their presents. Other mem
bers of the company advised them not
to think of such a thing, but were
finally persuaded to join them. So the
whole crowd fell in line behind Col
lier and Miss Lowell and marched up
stairs % Mr.. Days Office, The crowd
fell back and lowered in the distance
when they raped. AS there was no
answer at first, they raped harder.
Come in" voice in upper-case tones
shouted from within. That finished
the crowd. They all fed leaving Miss
Lowell alone, and she has very hazy
idea that even she did not thank Mr..
DAILY for his gift.

everything l ate gave me acute pain.
