A SHARKS EYE.
The Effect II Had on'ths skipper Ws-r

'Tver been mesmerized by fshT
said the skipper no? Well,
have been many time. 1t was q
shark that did it.
81 don't know the scientific name
Of this particular variety of shark,
but it abounds on the Nantucket
shoals. Full grown these sharks are
from eight to ten feet long and
weigh from 500 to 700 pounds.
They have a broad head with the
mouth well under it. They have
saw teeth. FIVE rows of them. about
an inch and half long, and they
can hatten the lot and chew their
gums. But for a human being the
peril is in the eyes.
81 don't believe in man eating
sharks. believe that if a shark is
in bloody water he gets excited and
will snap at anything he sees, but
let one of those fellows get his eye
on you and you don't know where
you are at.
"They have habit of coming up
alongside of your live boxes and
lying there while you fish. Then
when you get anything on your line
the shark has it of before you get
chance to pull.
81 remember the first time l saw
one of them. was a boy at the
time, and one of these fellows had
come up alongside of my live box,
and put my hand out and touched
his back. He didn't seem to mind it
at all, but a minute later when
stood up | caught sight of his eyes,
or one of them. Well, sir, ! just
tumbed back in the boat and was
as helpless as jellyfsh out of wa
ter.
Il don't know how to explain it.
The eyes of this fish are no bigger
than the point Of your little finger,
but there is something that comes
out OF them that makes you tumble
all in a heap Many a time after
that did have a similar experience,
and know of lot of men who
have fell the. same effect. The only
explanation ] could suggest is that
the sharks eye has some sort of

AUNT ABBIE's VISIT.
The Old Lady Managed to Make Things
Prett, Lively.


Sawkins says that something al
ways happens when bis Aunt Abbit
comes to visit. She is eighty-four
and, although she cannot hear and
her eyesight is poor, still she is very
active, particularly at night, when
she frequently gets up to take a sip
of milk and nibble a cracker.
The first night Of her last visit
she got up at o'clock to take her
second snack. Feeling around with
o lighted match for the gas, she set
the curtain on Ere. Without mo-
ment's hesitation she pulled the
blazing curtain down and tried to
beat the blaze out with her bed slip
per She couldn't, so she hurried
downstairs in the dark 10 Sawkins'
room and pounded on the door.
Sawkins and his wife awoke with
with a start and heard some one
mumbling outside the door. Aunt
Abbie had put her teeth away for
the night, and her voice sounded
strange.
They sprang out of bed and yank-
cd open the door.
Fire" muttered Aunt Abbie in
deep cultural tones And she point
ed upstairs.
Up TO the third floor front darted
Sawkins, followed by bis wife aud
Aunt Abbie. The carpet and a
wicker chair holding Aunt Abbie's
undergarments were burning brisk
ly Sawkins grabbed rugs and tried
TO smother the blaze, while his wife
ran to the fourth floor to arouse the
servants.
The servants came rushing down
in bare feet and .nightgowns. Saw
kins meanwhile attended strictly to
business. With water carried from
the bathroom the fire was extin-
guished.
During the excitement Sawkins
had forgotten all about his father,
but as the old man had not showed
up Sawkins thought bis father was
Sill asleep downstairs
1t seems not. His father had
heard Aunt Abbie say ''FIrep' and,
very thoughtfully for an old man of
seyenIv-nine. had opened his win
dow and yelled Fire" Then he
had gone out on the front steps in
his nightshirt and yelled until some
one heard him and sent in an alarm.
When the fremen came one Of |
them took Sawkins father. as he |
was, into the next house. So when !
Sawkins ran downstairs to tell his
father about the fire he met the |
fremen coming up. They told him
the old man was in next door. So
soon as the fremen had gone Saw
kins went in next door after his fa-
ther.
Mr.. Sawkins. ST.. was sitting in
the parlor, surrounded by the
family, and busily en-
pIoyed in consuming a hot drink.
His costume was a nightshirt COW
cred by a swallowtail coat, patent
leather pumps and knees draped in
a steamer rug.
Sawkins was so struck by his fa-
theirs genteeI appearance that be
gravely thanked the neighbors for
their kindness in Quitting his fa-
ther. Then he took his father home
in his novel costume to show his
wife.

said she was too old to 60 visiting
and wanted to 60 home But she
