what his people were about and perceived the chlld
He looked at her moment and held out bis hand, so
the little thing was put down, and went over 10 hm'
and as his hand was still stretched out put her own
into it, The picture charming There stood the
Shah bending his dark visage, with its pure Oriental
features its olive skin, and piercing eyes and
long black mustaohe, over this child Of a race
which had not a trait in common with his. Hers was
the fresh loneliness OF AugoSaxon childhood, very light
yeow-browu hair flowing out in its profusion from UNI
der her white hat aud covering forehead and shoulders
every line Of the face rounded and breaking into dim
PIES brown eyes looking frankly up just touch Of shy
ness tnging the fair checks with rose, but
the whole figure model OF unconscious
grace and health aud beautiful young life, the type that
Gainsborough would have delighted to paint, and trying
would have failed. The Shah, whose countenance
came expression OF singular softness, drew her to
him. aud pulled Of her curls and patted her cheek
then asked Sir Henry Rawlins0n who she was. BIZ
Henry happening TO know the childs father told the
SHAH aud added that he an American. This
seemed TO surprise His Majesty, who had
taken il for granted that the little girl was
English as she looks. He asked the father how long he
had been England and put sundry other questions at
first in Persian through interpreter aud aferward
directly III French, which be speaks tOlerably well
Then with another caressor the child who had stood
with perfect conposure through the scene, the Shah
turned again the tank and began watching the cray
fish The little girl ran back TO her father, quite un
aware that anything unusual had occurred.
Here and with the cuteAsh the Shah spent quarter
Of hour, and all had good look at him as be
had at the marine wonders. He Chatted and laughed
took liking to crayfsh and dislike to a certain
lobster which stared at him too steadily, capped bis
hands at the changing coors OF tine cuttesh as they
darted after the crabs and sunk in the SAND,
aud uttered o sort OF war-cry the chase
grew fierce and the unlucky crab disappeared
bodily in the grasp of his enemy. Altogether, he en-
joyed the Aquarium boy Of quick natural inteli-
gence would have enjoyed it, and put shrewd questions
as be generally does When he quilted it, the procession
Che children included took its way up the aisle TO the
royal box in the transept and out on the balcony,
and 10 lunch and thence into the grounds, where the
Shah said should like to about among the people
without his police escort and did. To the credit OF the
people, they rewarded his confidence by abstaning from
mObbing him, and though there was always tirong
about him, he made his way without difficulty wherever
he liked. At $50 O'Clock he went back to London.
To-day he has quilted England, the Prince OF Wales
aud other royalties saying gOodby to him at the station
Prince Arthur and the Duke Of Edinburgh going with
him to Portsmouth As close this letter hear he has
embarked on the French yacht Rapde and is of for
Cherbourg in stuff breeze. His visit has lasted seven
teen days, but down 10 the last moment the public
curiosity and interest have never Jagged. The road
from the Palace TO the raiway-station was
thronged and hearty cheers followed him
as passed II poases the English to think that their
guest is after ALL what they call good fellow that he
has liked their country and themselves, he certainly
has and that he has been really impressed with its
wealth and power-more impressed, believe, than
with the purely military display at St. Petersburg and
Berlin Ii is said he was carefully instructed in both
capitals in the theory that the military strength Of
England is no longer formidable But when he saw
the riches Of the country he asked why, England was
not formidable, Russia and Germany, which poor,
did not help themselves TO what he saw. And be is
eacous enough to infer that they do not because they
cannot cannot without they well know, terrible
wary He has learned something about ships Whether
he has made up his mind cast in his lot for good and
i'll with this wonderful people is still matter Of con
lecture. G. W. s.
