THE RIDDLE OF WRECK.

High on the hill-slope sigh In dream,
With piumy heads In heaven.
They silver the sunbeam.
One broken body OF tree,
Stabbed through and slashod by lightning

Unsouled and grim to SEQ,
Hangs DER the hushed ravlne.
A hundred masts, hundred more,
Crowd close against the sunset flros.
Their late adventure o'or,
They mingle With the spires.
But one Is lying prone, alone,
Where cleaning guls TO seaward sweep,
White sand of burial blown
In sheets about its sleep.
When lightning's leashed and sen is still,
Ye sacrihcial mysteries dread,
Boapegoats Of shore and hill,
Your riddle may be read.

in London, but they could not well
refuse the invitation.
Dolly had been in London only one
short week, and she was bewitched
with everything she saw. She loved
her uncle and aunt, both of whom dis
played strong affections Tor her, and
indulged her in a freedom she had
never tasted before. She was delight

she admired London itself. The busy

thrilled her, she knew not why. Her
heart beat faster, her pulse bounded
more quickly. She felt more alive
than she had ever felt before.
There was another source of pleas

thrown into the company of so en-
gaging q young gentleman as her
cousin Tom, the only child of her
uncle and aunt. He was Dolly's SEN

fortunately, they were ignorant.
There was nothing really bad about
the lad. He had very good heart,
but he wanted steadying a little. He
was exactly the sort of dashing, reek-
less, freehanded young Englishman
that handsome, manly fellow be-
comes when placed in circumstances
OF wealth and freedom. The first time
he saw his cousin Dolly he decided
that she was a very pretty girl, but
shy, and that 1t would be worth while
TO draw her out.
He found it not easy and that, not

She could not chatter; the thing was

ents and social polish, frequently

her lips Tom soon began to watch
those eyes and to love them. He no

HER MAIDEN TRIP.

A Big Crowd Sees the New Steamer st.
| Louis Depart-Had One Thousand Per-
sons on Board.
New York. June 5.-The new Ameri-
can line steamship ST. Louis, with 1000
persons on board, left her dock at the
foot of Vesey street at II o'clock this
morning, and started on her maiden
trip across the Atlantic. The opportu-
nifty of seeing the first American built
| transatlantic liner in twenty years
leave on her first long voyage, drew
many hundreds of spectators to the
river front. Long before the hour of
sailing the crowd thronged over the
great vessel, crowded the saloons, cab
ms and decks, inspecting every possi-
Bile nook and Granny of the splendid
craft
Every berth on the vessel was taken
for the voyage. There We're about 300
persons in the first cabin, 200 in the
second cabin and 500 in the steeraga
While many of the persons on the
dock and vessel We're simply sight
seers, a greater number than usua1&y
attend a sailing came for the more SER
ious business of bidding adieu to
friends.
The cabins were filled with flowers
sent to the voyagers.
At 1045 o'clock when all persons but
the passengers were ordered ashore
the dock was packed with sightseers.
The streets outside the shed were fill
ed, and the neighboring piles We're also
occupied.
Two tugs fastened on to the stem of
the ship. The gangplanks were raised,
and at just II O'clock the vessel moved
backward into the stream.
A cheer rose from the throng on the
dock. The river craft whistled long and
loud
The big ship swung out to midstream
then the tide carried her bow around
toward the sea, the tugs cast loose and
she was off on her first voyage.
Captain Randall was seen before the
ship sailed. He has commanded the
majority of the American lines vessels
on their first voyages He said that he
would take her over the southerly
course to Southampton, and would not
speed her, as he desired to get the ma
chinery broken in. He expected to
make the trip in about six and half
days.
The passenger list contained the
names of many prominent persons,
among them Sir Julian Pauncefote and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Il. Abbey,
MIR. and Mrs. John Drew, Nine Rejane,
Frederick T. Frelinghuysen and Count
Wickenberg.
