The Daily Story
My Guardian-By Ruth Graham.

Mother died when I was Still girl.
I thtuk I had just turned IL During
her last illness she worried "a great
dee{ IS TO what was To become Of rae
after being deprived Of her care
wish YOU were q few years older" she
said to me one day. Il would pick ont
a husband for Won. Then there would
be no need fer me to be anxious about
your future"
Would you expect me 10 marry g
man without love morher?
Il should rely on his good qualities
to win your confidence and respect
which would be better than romantic
attachment. Certainly it would be
more enduring
Mother had often told me that she
had been engaged before she married
my father, but gave me nothing more
than the bare fact ! often wondered
Why she had not married this person
instead Of father. I knew that he was
several years younger than she. and
since q woman prefers a man older
than herself fancied that this might
be the reason Of her breaking her first
engagement
When mother died and her viii was
opened + learned that her property had
been left to a certain Horace 0gllvie
In trust for me till / should reach the
age Of ri, when Ii was 10 be paid 80
me My guardian was to have the
legal care of me during my minority.
20 provide q home for me and direct
my education. Z remember that few
days after the opening Of the SILL @
very pleasant looking gentleman
about SIS years old came 30 see me ana
announced himself as my guardian.
He told me that he lived with his
mother in another city and I was TO go
with him and make my home with
them
He seemed to take such kindly In
tarest ia me and was SO sympathetic
with me in my bereaved condition that
I felt greatly C0mforte5- I acCompan-
led him 10 his home. where was re-
ceived by his mother. an old lady who
was as cordial SIS if were her own.
During this first day I spent with
my guardian Z constantly found him
. looking at me with a very singular eS-
preston Tt was as though / was con-
uected with something beyond myself
I fancied that there was tenderness in
his gaze. Could it ba that he felt that
he was placed toward me in the posi-
tiun of 2 father2 / certainly did not
have for him a corresponding feeling.
] thought him very interesting man.
Why my mother had appointed him
my guardian I did not know, and
was not informed Somehow since
neither he nor his mother said any
thing about the matter / rather shrauE
from asking. Mrs. 0Eilvie took entire

There was evidence early thfs wear
that the sharks were getting ready for
another vigorous campaign. I'm Jan
nary nine maD-eaLers were caught bE
the crew of one ship only 200 miles
from New York. A boatl0ad of sailors
cast adritt off the coast found sharks
so plentiful that they sUbsisted on tine

The sharks soon evened the score

yaDuahs mayor. who was only saved
by being hauled back into the boat
from which hes had diyad.
It s we'll for summer resorters to
be mindful OF this danger. Formerly
the waters north OF HatEeras were
deemed SO free of this menace that
death by lightning was FeckObed more
frequent than death from the appe-
tire of the great fish Some new con-
dltIOn has brought about the change
Explanations put forward include
change IN the gulf stream bringing
warm water in5hore, a lack OF men
hadeu which The sharks commonly
pursue at sea. and tae interruption Of
oceanic passenger transportation
which dec0yed the sharks TO deep wa
tiers Ia pursuit OF refuse.
Great numbers OF sharks were
caught last year along the coast be-

attacked. The mau-eaters make SO
