The yellow fever was raging In tbe
city OF Vera Cruz that year, says ST
Nicholas, and one of the large West
indian liners which arrived on q Ger.
tain day was obliged to anchor Off in
the harbor. A small boat, known as
dingy, foated astern, and in this an
active young colored boy of about Ii
was busily at work washing Off the
seats. The boat lurched over with a
sudden dip as the boy bore his weight
ON one Of the thwarts, and Pedro
heard warning shout from the steam.
ers deck just in time to give one ter
rified glance around and to hear a
noise he knew only too well.
Without an instant's hesitation he
jumped overheard from the opposite
side Of the boat. For as he looked he
caught sight Of the jaws of a great
shark which, spying this tempting
morsel Of a plump little darky bow.
had leaped toward the careened boat
with open mouth. So vigorous was
the sharks leap that as Pedro went
over one side Of the boat the shark
Topped in at the other. Not being
used to these surroundings, and miss
ing his prey, he foundered around nm
til his head bore down the gunwale
and he slid from the careening boat
into the sea again before the people
on the steamer could fling a harpoen
at him. Almost as he disappeared
poor Pedre's head popped up on the
opposite side Of the boat and, in n
terrible fright, he clambered into the
dingy again, as thoroughly scared a
young darby as ever had a narrow "a.
cape.
Had he not thus saved himself from
the maneater, help frem the steamer
would have been necessary and even
then 1t is mere than probable that the
boy would net have been saved. This
Is q remarkable instance Of the FENCE

ting him into the division superin-
tendent's office as a messenger. That
was ages ago, and now Tom had been
depot master of the X for fifteen years
at one Of its most important western
terminals, and few strangers ever
came in or went out of the terminal
to register any kick. But time had laid
its hand heavily upon Tom, and he
had grown totally incompetent to per-
form the duties which fell to his lot.
He was, however, a favorite with the
general passenger agent, and even the
president had a kindly feeling toward
the old man. The general passenger
agent had spent several bad half hours
over Old Toms case. He had finally
put off the evil day when summary
action would become necessary. by
giving the old man a young and able
assistant. This worked well for the
time being, but traffic increased to a
point where it became absolutely nee
essary to have an efficient depot mas
ter.
One day the president sent for the
general passenger agent and told him
that affairs at the depot would have
to move more smoothly.
II would gladly make some changes
there and at other places" replied the
general passenger agent, 'if you
would only supply me with means of
pensioning a few old employees"

Rabbi Ben-Hissar rsde one day
Beyond the city gates. His way
Lay toward q spot where his own hand
Had buried deep within the sand
A treasure vast Of gems and gold
He dared not trust to man to hold.
But riding In the failing light,
A pallid figure met hiB sight
An awful shape-he knew full we'll
Twas the great Angel Azrael.
The dreadful presence froze his breath;
he waited tremblingly- for death.
"Fear notv' the Angel said: IT bear
A message. Rabbi Ben Hissar,
One thing the Lord hath asked Of thee
To prove thy love and loyalty.
Therefore now am come to bring
Thy rarest jewel to thy King"
Rabbi Ben issar bowed his head.
"All that have Is his!' he said.
The Angel vanished. All that day
He rode upon his lonely way
Wondering much what precious stone
Ged would have chosen for His own.
But when he reached the spot, he found
No other hand had touched the ground.
Rabbi Ben-Hissar looked and sighed.
at was a dream!' he sadly cried.
II thought that God would deign to take
OF my poor store for His dear sake.
But twas a dream! My brightest gem
Would have no luster meet for Him!"
Slowly he turned and took his way
Back to the vale where the city lay.
The path was long. but when he came
Unto the street which bore his name
He saw his house stand dark and drear,
No voice Of welcome, none Of cheer.
He entered and saw what the Lord had
done.
Lo! Death had stricken his only son!
Clay he lay, in the darkened hall,
On the stolid bier, with the funeral pail.
The pale death-angel Azrael
Had chosen a-jewel that pleased him
well.
Rabbi Ben issar bent his head.
"I thank thee, Lord" was all he said.

agent as he left the office. "But l
guess it's all up with old Tom" That
afternoon old Tom responded to his
chiefs summons with the same CHEEKY
face that had endeared him to fellow
employees and to the public. The I'M

Bully" replied Tom. "We're get

Little by little the general passenger
agent learned that all old Tom had in
the world to keep himself and wife
from starvation was his salary and a
board cottage on a bleak portion Of the
Atlantic coast near Salem, Mass.
