and led him off to the place where tho
dance was forming.
Nolan thought he had got his chance,
He had known her at Philadelphia,
and at other places had met her, and
this was a godsend. You could not
talk in contredances, as you do in
coalitions, or even in the pauses of
Waltztng; but there were chances for
tongues and sounds, as we'll as for
eyes and bushes. He began with her
travels, and Europe, and Vesuvius, and
the French; and then, when they had
worked down, and had that long talk
Ing time at the bottom of the set, he
said boldly, little pale, she said, as
she told me the story, years after:
"And what do you hear from home,
Mrs. Graffy"
And that splendid creature looked
through him. Jove! how she must
have looked through himl "Home !
Mr.. Nolan!!l I thought you were the
man who never wanted to hear of
home again I" and she walked directly
up the deck to her husband, and left
poor Nolan alone, as he always was,
He did not dance again.

the celebrated Southern beauty OF
those days, danced with him. They
had been lying long time In the Bay
intimate in the English fleet, and there
had been great festivities, and our
men thought they must give a great
ball on board the ship. How they
ever did it ON board the Warren am
sure do not know. Perhaps it was
not the Warren, or perhaps ladies did
not take up so much room as they
do now. They wanted to use Nolan's
stateroom for something, and they
hated to do it without asking him to
tho ball; so the captain said they
might ask him, If they would be re-
sponsible that he did not talk with
the wrong people, "who would give him
intelligence" So the dance went on,
the finest party that had ever been
known, I dare say; for never heard
of a man-Of-war ball that was not. For
ladies' they had the family of the
American consul, one or two travellers
who had adventured so far, and a nice
bevy of English girls and matrons, per-
haps Lady Hamilton herself.
Well, different officers relieved each
other in standing and talking with No
Ian In friendly way, so as to be sure
that nobody else spoke to him. The
dancing went on with spirit, and after
while even the fellows who took this
honorary guard of Nolan ceased to fear
any contretemps. Only when some
English lady-Lady Hamilton, as I
said, perhaps, called for set Of
american dancers" an odd thing hap
pened. Everybody then danced con-
tredances. The black band, nothing
loath, conferred as to what "American
dances" were, and started off with
''Virginia Reel" which they followed
with "Money-Musk," which, in its turn
In those days, should have been fol-
lowed by "The Old Thirteen" But

fiddlers to begin, and bent forward,

as he had said, "'virginny Reel If you
pleased" 'Money-Musk,' If you
please!" the captains boy tapped him
on the shoulder, whispered to him, and
he did not announce the name of the
dance; he merely bowed, began on
the air, and they all fell to, the off,

BY this time the men were all be-

That story shows about the time
when Nolan's braggadocio must have
broken down. At first, they said, he
took a very high tone, considered his
Imprisonment a mere farce, affected
to enjoy the voyage, and all that but
Phillips said that after he came out OF
his stateroOm he never was the same
man again. He never read aloud again,
unless it was the Bible or Shakespeare
or something else he was sure of. But
it was not that merely. He never en-.
tered in with the other young men ex
actly as a companion again. He was
always shy afterward, when I knew
him, very seldom spoke, unless he
was spoken to, except to very few
friends. He lighted up occasionally.
1 remember late in his life hearing
him fairly eloquent on something
which had been suggested to him by
one of Flechler's sermons, but gener-
ally he had the nervous, tired look Of

The boys said the officers were sick

after several days the Warren came to
the same rendezvous; they exchanged
signals; she sent to Phillips and these
homeWard-bOund ulen letters and PSF

bound, perhaps to the Mediterranean,
and took poor Nolan and his traps on
the boat back to try his second cruise.
He looked very blank when he was told
to get ready to join her. He had
known enough Of the signs of the sky
to know that till that moment he was
going ''home." But this was a dis
tinct evidence of something he had not
thought OF, perhaps, that there was no
going home for him, even to a prison.

says Greece will, very likely, join the

Panama Canal Capacitv.

A careful study of traffic through the
Panama canal shows that the maxi
mum capacity Of the canal locks, con-
servatively estimated, is sixty average
size steamships day-the expected
capacity was about forty -cight ships
frequently, however, one-of the twin
fights at each set of locks must be
closed to traffic for the overhauling of
the submerged equipment, especially
the large valves and gates, as deteriol
rating forces are constantly at work
and protective measures must be taken
to preserve the life of these parts. At
such times the canal will have maxi

l remember, soon after I joined the
navy, was on shore with some of the
older officers from our ship and from
the Brandywine, which we had met at
Alexandria,. We had leave to make a
party and 60 up to Cairo and the Pyra-
mids. AS we logged along some Of
the gentlemen fell to talking about No.
Ian, and someone told the system
which was adopted from the first about
his books and other reading. AS he
was almost never permitted to go on
shore, even though the vessel lay in port
for months, his time, at the best,
hung heavy; and everybody was per-
mitted to lend him books, if they were
not published in America and made no
enough in the old days, when people
in the other hemisphere talked of the
United States as little as we do of
Paraguay. He had almost all the for
eign papers that came into the ship,
sooner or later; only somebody must
60 over them first, and cut out any
advertisement or stray paragraph that
alluded to America. Right in the
midst of one of Napoleon's battles, or
one Of Canning's speeches, poor Nolan
would find great hole, because on the
back Of the page Of that paper there
had been an advertisement OF q packet
for New York, or scrap from the
presidents message. say this was
the first time ever heard Of this plan
which afterwards had enough, and
more than enough, to do with. re-
member 1t, because poor Phillips, who
was Of the party, as soon as the allu.

of something which happened at the
Cape of Good Hope ON NOlan's first
voyage; and it Is the only thing ever
knew of that voyage. They had
touched at the Cape, and had done the

Ian was permitted to join the circle
one afternoon when a lot of them sat
on deck smoking and reading aloud.
People do not do such things so often
now, but when I was young we got
