ROBSON AND THE SHARKS.


Ffrom the Salt Lake Tribune.
 The Boston Globe thinks that the brav- cry of Hobson and his men is magnified by the fact that Santiago harbor is filled with man. eating sharks. It is a fact, though, that in normal state sharks do not at tack moving objects, and then after the ex- plosion necessary to sink the "Merrimac," it is just possible that the sharks in that immediate neighborhood were busy for the time being in electing delegates to a convention to inquire into the cause of the disturbance in their summer resort.

"The very best Of all, in my opinion
two admring spectators near him were
saying. "a colonel in the days of the duke
of Marlborough and "a lady of the same
period dressed by-oh, give me my
glasses Miss Sylvia Berwick, II Teck-ter-
race, West Kensington.' There is only one
fault, perhaps. Did ladies carry bouquets
in those days?"
Not in those days, perhaps, but certainly
in the days when in all Covent Garden there
seemed no lilies of the valley fresh enough
for Capt. Narration to send to Miss Berwick
for Lady Hurstmonceux's fancy ball-the
ball where she had figured as lady of the
court of Queen Anne, and he as one Of
Marlborough colonies.
How well he remembered i'll Some benev.
olent girl had told him what Sylvia was to
wear, and he had chosen his own dress ac-
cordingly. They had been much commented
upon as the successes of the night, and in the
pauses Of Waldteufel waltz be had told her
that he loved her, and she-ah, for the kiss
hurriedly exchanged in the conservatory

Sylvia who came in. Not the Sylvia of other
days, so radiant, so girlish, so fresh in her
dainty dresses-the years are not 80 kind
but sweet, serious woman in plain black,
with the old masses of golden hair showing
under her little bonnet.
Dick, with sudden strange sensation of
shyness that was very like fear, drew back
until he was almost hidden by q screen, 30
that she did not see him.
But the room was full of fragrance her
heart knew in a moment. He had laid the
lilies upon table, and she took them up
with little soft exclamation of pleasure.
He saw how tender was the face that bent
over the flowers, face no longer young, but
with a new loveliness all its own
Then he came forward without word.
She knew him instantly. The flush of rosy
color, the light in her eyes, the joy she could
not stiae after all those hungry dragging
years of loneliness, conjured back all, and
more than all, the glamour of their youth.
"Dick-Capt. Narration, what has brought
you here?"

not awaited to keep the young lover she had
chosen; and she had no mother to plead for
her.
Dick had been ordered to India, and very
soon after old Berwick had gone under, as
they say. This time in double sense, for
the crash that took his fortune took his life,
and left Sylvia absolutely alone in the world.
Society was naturally too busy with its
own concerns to remember the comet of a
day. Dick had been at first sore and angry,
then cynical, over his own passion.
The organ played Christmas hymns, the
hymns that, whether we will or no, take us
back, and exercise such subtle magic. Even
to the most careless listener they had a
touch Of fresh significance among these gay
memorials Of good will and kindness, not
towards men, but towards the children, to
whom the pitiless heritage of the sins of the
fathers comes with such cruel force.
Suddenly Dicks eye was riveted by pair
of immense dolls, and his heart beat as it
had not beaten for Is years.

1t was half-past three and sunny De-
cember afternoon. Buntie got her choco-
lates-twice as many as were good for her
before she was handed back to tell her nurse
of the wonders of the Albert hall.
IL dare say I'm fool, but mean to do

his sisters house and hailed hanson.
ELEVEN Teck-terrace; and, look here,

There were not many lilies, and they were
dear, but he bought every one. The inter.
minable cab drive was like dream domin-
ated by the two great dolls. He could not
think consecutively. The old ache, the old
longing, had come mistakenly back. The
cabman lost his way twice in desert of
mean houses with empty cart" pots on the
smutty lodges, and pallid yellow muslin
curtains breadth too narrow. At last he
stopped at a quiet, unprepossessing row.

He took her in his arms and answered,
passionately: my darling, 1 never knew
until to-day that you wanted me; it was the
doll that spoke"
Then there was very complete and
eloquent silence between them, till Sylvia
looked up with her old smile: "Why, Dick,
you can't mean that you saw the colonel OF
the days of the duke of Marlborough. What
were you doing in the Albert hall?" :.

tryant-my sisters Baby Buntie-and got

not forgotten me when she showed me the

81 dare say it was silly and sentimental OF
me to dress the dolls like ourselves, but
sometimes, Dick, when sat here working
at them could hear the music-that waltz,
'Souviens toi,' and see the pink lights just
as they were on the happiest night of all my
life. There was nothing left but my dear
past. Nothing could take that from me-"

Does Miss Berwick live here"
Eyes, sir, but she is not at home"
"That is unfortunate, for wanted to see
her particularly"
"On business, sir?"
"Yes," said Dick, untruthfully.
"Then, if you please, sir, was to ask you
to wait. Miss Berwick will be in directly"
$50 she is expecting some other fellow on
business? What business?" thought Dick,
as he followed the girl upstairs into little
room pathetically pretty with the pretti.

His question answered itself, for there was
a typewriter by the window piled with
blotty manuscript.

trimmed pelsses and bewitching baby bon
nets.
The Albert hall was very crowded, and,
glitterng with thousands of toys, seemed a
very fairy-land to Buntie, whose heart was
wrung with longing for the dolls, despite
the fact that a large family, very pale with
much kissing, slept peacefully in her gay
nursery in Berkeley square.
"But, Buntie, these are for little girls who
have no dollies."
Doesn't Santa Claus come to them, then?
think he must be naughty old man if he
only comes to me, and have lots and lots of
things"
Don't you see, Buntie, there are kind
ladies who remember the other little girls,
and they dress all these dolies and send them
to Santa Claus in case his supply runs
: short"
81 would like to send them one of mine,"
said Buntie. 1T must be so drefful to have
none on Christmas"
Uncle Dick had no very clear notion of the
utter desolation this terrible idea implied
to Baby Buntie-Buntie, who woke raptur.
ously on the most magical of all mornings,
with full trust in the annual miracle that
was the securest certainty of her little creed.
Then not only the tiny stocking would be
brimful of delight, but all the nursery
turned into novel wonder.world of joy
full surprises.
But something in the sweet spontaneous
pity of the child touched him, and he put
his hand into his pocket with sense of
conjunction that the hard fate of those
forgotten by Santa Claus had never been
brought home to him.
81 think can show you the way. Take
this, darling"
Buntie proudly dropped a shining coin
into the chariot of very captivating fairy
queen, and gazed about her from her lofty
coign of vantage with rose-hushed cheeks
and eyes like stars.
They had got among the dolls in fancy
dresses, and even Maj. Dick Narration found,
as usual, that taking Buntie out pleasuring
meant amusement. The girls-and they
were numerous enough-who had tried to
marry Dick Narration would not have
known that impenetrable gentleman in the
guise of Buntie's willing slave.
Once upon time, before the death of
Dicks godfather and the comfortable two
thousand year that had come to him after
that event, he had been madly in love. For
