She claims Parasol Found in shark.

Because her parasol dropped in New
York harbor, swallowed by a shark
and then carried to the Delaware
breakwater, where the shark was cap
tured by James Keyes, a light vessel
boatman, and the parasol cut from the
stomach, is no reason that Miss Laura
Dorsey, of Saugatuck, Conn.,, should
give up hope of getting the parasol
back, and. according to letter from
her. she has no idea of relinquishing
her claim.
Keyes caught the shark some time
ago and was astonished when opening
IL to find a parasol as part OF It's
former diet. Miss Dorsey heard of the
finding, and yesterday sent word of the
loss of the psrasol from the steamer
Richard Peck in the East River.
Although there is but little left OF
the original paraso1 except the ribs and
some of the cover and handle, It Will
be sent her.-Lewes (DeI.) dispatch to

THE WEATHER.

Just take the weather as it comes, and
never make q fuss,
just what is best for US?
Then don't find fault in summer days
because it is too hot
Make up your mind to take what comes
you'll find it helps a lot
You can't improve on. things you know,
no matter how you fret;
FuSsing won't make a hot day cool or
make a dry spell wet;
In fact, the more you fuss the more un-
happy you will be,
And nobody'H admire you-take that,
now, straight from me-
We need all sorts of weather, and were
going to get it, too;
The program won't be changed at all,
not even to please you
So make the best of what we have and
do not fret and fuss,
And you can make a humid day seem
quite sa-Iu-bri-ous.

That was the beginning: but as the
summer went on the two young people
found themselves involved in a most
romantic situation. The two fathers
give up all intercourse with each other.
This led to delightful clandestine meet
ings; moonlight and starlight saw
them whispering together in the gar
age or at the foot of the rose garden.
The summer winds heard their VOWS,
and the birds sang chorus to their
love song.
When they were well out of sight,
and of hearing, Richard, Sr., would
shake hands with old man Chalmers
across the hedge and they would
tended feud. But Mrs. Cameron was
worried.
.'The next thing you know. Wen
have an elopement, and I want Dick
and Dulcie married decently in
church
what difference does it make, so
they are married ?" her husband de-
manded.

eron. You and 1 ran away, Richard.

it. but Dulcie has right to white satin
and a wedding veil. I have always re-
gretted that didn't have chance to

tonight said Cameron, laughing.
The sundial was pretty place for
the lovers to meet. It was far enough
from the house so that, after the shad-
ows fell, il" made safe retreat. There
was a stone bench, too, with a high
screen of vines behind it, and here
Dulcie and Dick plighted their vows
unheard, unseen
There the two irate fathers found
them.
''Dulcie" said Chalmers, what does
this mean?"
sIt means. SIR" said Dick, standing
very stiff and straight, that I want to
marry your daughter"
''Well, of all things" said Richard,
sr.
'sYou ran away with mother" said
the boy stoutly, "and / don't think you
have ever repented your bargain"
THAT has nothing to do with this
case" said Cameron. why, IL is pre-
posterous that you should expect to
marry Dulcie Chalmers, Richard, when
her father and are sworn enemies"
"Sworn enemies echoed Chalmers.
It was at this moment that Mrs:
Cameron crossed the lawn swiftly and
appeared before them.
Richard" she said, earnestly, going
up to her son, you love Dulcie, don't
you ?''
yes"
And Dulcie loves you?"
She took the girls hand in hers.
''It is very beautiful but 1 think the
most beautiful part of it will be that
these two stubborn men will become
friends again."
she turned to them. "surely you
will make up for the sake of your
children"
They were smiling in the darkness,
but Dick and Dulcie did not know.
II shall run away with her If you

statement.
