SHARKS AND WAR.

The fishermen Of the northern part
Of the Adriatic sea are alarmed at the
number and size Of the sharks that
have been caught there since June.
Three were taken in Istria within
few days, and a very large one was
caught lately In Quarnero.
The Adriatic fishermen declare that
these sharks are fish that have been
driven out OF the Yellow sea and the
Siberian waters by the many frightful
submarine mine explosions They al
lege that since the beginning of the
Russo-Japanese War the number OF
sharks In the Mediterranean sea has
increased steadily.
II has been known for some time
that the Suez canal has been the
means Of bringing great many big
sharks into the Mediterranean every
year. The shark Is a FISH which viii

change.

conically, and somehow he could not
refrain from glancing backward at
the long library windows. The solid
shutters were already closed, and the

Just for an instant he caught the
flash of her hazel eyes, with the sud-
den CLINT of golden light i'm their
depths. Then the long lashes fell. The
mans heart throbbed oddly for more
than the single instant, but he was
quick to pull himself together. Only
her love of playing with words had
prompted the remark. Her father had
the same trick. And he was her faith

grave when he spoke again.

you are not even to drive about during

his shoulder and spoke more lightly.
II would break the spell. The fairies
