Given special advantages, such as
that of holding the end of stout rope
at the other extremity of which is a
hook fixed In a sharks mouth, man
may, with the assistance of a number
of his fellows, have the best of the
shark. But alone and in the water the
advantage is wholly and absolutely the
other way, and the strongest swimmer
and the brayest heart fail when the
tyrant of the sea seeks to make his ac
quaintance.
The shark is a creature gifted with
great strength a savage temper, dog
ged perseverance and exceptional pow
er of jaw. The lion and tiger may
mangle, the crocodile may lacerate, the
bulldog may hold fast-the shark alone
of living creatures possesses the power
of nipping OH human limb at a clean
bite

"Do you not consider your husband
the most graceless sinner in existence? 2"
This question was asked the wife of
a gay Lothario by rival for his affec.
tions while playing a game called can

The stiffness became intense and
every pair of eyes grew rounder as
those present looked from one woman
to the other. 1t was the husbands
voice that broke the silence.
Your question is out of order, Bea-
trice," he said quietly. 1T is a rule
laid down in courts of law that wo-
man is not required to testify against
her husband
In the confusion that followed as the
game broke up the man sought his
wifes side. "What should you have

If | had not come to your rescue SO
neatly?" he demanded.
II should have said you were sin

minute intervals TO come up, poke the
tips of Its wings out of the water and
jam some air against its spiracles be-
fore descending once more to its sub

fold a broad and beautiful pair of
gauzy wings and whirl off on visit
of love and adventure to some distant
pond. on to which 1t descends like a
bullet from the air above.

CHAPTER VIII.

AS spring advanced Alice began to
droop, Sally's quick eye detected In her
infallible signs Of decay. But she would
not tell 1t to Mary, whose life now seem
ed comparatively happy one. Mr.. and
Mrs. Parker were kind to her. Uncle
Peter petted her, and even Miss Grundy
had more than once admitted that "she
was about as good as young ones would
average Billy. too. had promised to
remain and work for Mr.. Parker during
the summer. intending with the money
thus earned to 60 the next fall and win

ful of Mrs. Grundy's ost-expressed wish
that "she would stop that clack," or Of
the anxious, plying eyes Sal Furbush
bent upon her, as day after day the
faithful old creature rocked and tended
little Alice.
At last Mary could no longer be de-
ceived, and one day when Alice lay gasp

Sally laid her hand on Mary's face and
replied: poor child. you'll soon be all
alone"
There was no outcry-no sudden gush
Of tears, but nervously clasping her
hans upon her heart, as II the shock had
entered there, Mary sat down upon her
bed, and burying her face in the pillow
sat there for a long time. But she said
nothing. and a careless observer might
have thought that she cared nothing, as
1t became each day more and more evil

knew not of the long nights when with
untiring love she sat by her sisters era

pressing her clammy hands and praying
to be forgiven IL ever, in thought or deed,
she had wronged the little one now leav-
Ing her.
And all this time there came no kind
word or message Of love from Ella, who
knew that Alice was dying, for Billy
had told her so.
The end came peacefully. There was
some talk Of burying the child in the
poorhouse inclosure, but Mary pleaded so
earnestly to have her laid by her mother
that her request was granted, and that
night when the young spring moon came
out 1t looked quietly down upon the grave
of little Alice, who by her mothers side
was sweetly sleeping.

Tale Dnrmouae.

This tear compelling tale is from the
London Globe: "a young lady bought
dormouse. After keeping it for some
time she had occasion to send pres
ent 70 a friend and utilized the dor
mouse for that purpose. A few months
later tic friend wrote to say that the
pet did not seem very lively and was
refusing it's food. Would she come and
inspect 1t? She came and inspected it
und finally, feeling that this was case
FOR professional opinion, called in a
vet. The vets verdict was brief and to
the point. The dormouse had been
dead just six months"

Billy was In itself sufficient reason why
she should be happy. He was 80 affec-
tionate and brother-like In his deport-
ment toward her that she began question
ing whether she did not love him as well.

whom she seldom saw, though she heard
that she had governess from Worcester.
and was taking music lessons ON a grand
piano, which had been bought year be-
fore. Occasionally Billy called at Mrs.
Campbelfs, but Ella seemed shy and un,
willing to speak Of her sister.
Why Is there this differencer he
thought more than once, as he contrast
ed the situation of the two girls-the one
petted. caressed and surrounded by every
luxury, and the other forlorn, desolate.
and the inmate of poorhouse; and then
he built castles of a future when, by the
labor OF his own head or hands, Mary,
too, should be rich and happy.
The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1901-11-15

Three weeks had passed away since
Alice's death, and affairs at the poor
house were beginning to glide on as usual.
Mary, who had resumed her post as dish.
washer In the kitchen, was almost daily
expecting Jenny; and one day when Billy
came in to dinner he gave her the joy.
full intelligence that Jenny had returned
and had been In the field to see him,
bidding him tell Mary to meet her that
afternoon In the woods by the brook.
Mary bounded joyfully away to the
woods, where she found Jenny, who en-
braced her In a manner which showed
that she had not been forgotten.
"0h," said she, 1--WE got SO much to
tell you. and SO much to hear, though l
know all about dear little Alices death
didn't you feel d=eadfullyT
Mary's tears were a sufficient answer.
and Jenny, as II suddenly discovering
something new, exclaimed, "Why, what
have you been doing? Who pulled your
teethr'
Mary explained the circumstances of
the tooth-pulling and Jenny continued:
"You look a great deal better, and IL
your cheeks were only little fatter and
your skin not quite so yellow, you'd be
real handsome: but no matter about that.
| saw George Moreland In Boston, and |
wanted to tell him about you, but I'd
promised not to; and then at first felt
afraid of him, for you can't think what
a great big fellow he's got to be. Why,
he's awful tall-and handsome too. Rose
likes him, and so do lots of the girls, but
| don't believe he cares a bit for any OF
them except his cousin Ida, and | guess
he does like her."
Here the chatterer was interrupted by
Henry Lincoln, who directly in front of
her leaped across the brook. He was
evidently not much improved in his man.
ners, for the moment he was safely land
ed on terra frma he approached Mary,
and, seizing her round the waist, ex-
claimed, ''Halloo, little pauper! You're
glad to see me back, dare say"
Then drawing her head over SO that
he could look into her face, he contin-
ued. Had your tusks out, haven't youi
Well, It's quite an improvement, so much

Mary struggled. and Jenny scolded,
while Henry said, "Don't kick and founce
