When I.ouis Temple ojions th door,
he feels instinctively that nomethins is

Thinking probably she is asleep, lie

"I certainly think Renie. Stowart a

she haughtily pulled a beautiful diamond

him.
11 is fa e grew white a donth, for ho
loved the beautiful, proud girl before hiui
as only an honorable man can love.
"Nellie, do you mean what you any?
do you not think your pride a tritlo over

"I think Mr. Temple forgets himself,"
eh" answered, icily. !" have not tho

turned and swept majestically from the

What fools men are!"' muttered
F.ouirt leinple, dabbing his bat down over
his eves and plunging madly along the
i old "deserted street- "One place idl his

to have it thrown back in his face with a
careUss shrug of the shoulders. Catch

It was a fearful blow to him. He tried
to make himself believe that he did not
care, but the 1 eautiful face of Nellie
ha intcd him incessantly, an I he oitt-n
found himself wondering what he would
do with his empty life.
Three days later he surprised his
friends greatly by leaving the town, bag
and baggage. lor parts unknown.
Nellie Graverson heard of Louis de
parture with a calm, indifferent face, but
when she was in the sanctum of her own
chamber, the mask fell. Great heart
rending sol s shook the regal form. !ho
had sent him o'.l with a coldness that
even surprised herself;, but was sho
happy? would Louis' white reproachful
face ever be erased from her memory?
Ve-ks and months flew by, and during
that time Nellie Graverson changed
wonderfully. The proud, haughty ex
pression on her beautiful face was giving
place to a sad pre-occupied one. The
servants who always feared her before,
were beginning to fove th-ir youn mis
tress: she was to kind to them.
M have broken my heart and spoiled
my life," she would often say to herself,
"and now 1 shall break my pride. Oh,
i.ouis, I.ouis.! if I only had" it to do over
again."
"My dear," her father said to her o.io
day, "my dear, I imagine you look palo
and thin. Are you not feeling well '.''
"Yes, pnpa, I atn as well as usual," her
heart beating quickly.
"No, pet, you are not. J Bhall call in a

"Gh, no, no, papa ! I am not ill, indeed
I am not : but but "
"Rut what, dear'."
''Cannot we go away for awhile 7 I

"To be sure, Nell, whenever you like."

"t ih, M isa Jennie, yon have n"t chanced

"No? ho is here somewhere, oh,

sweetly.
Nellie's fao was indeed illumed to
night, but the happy liiriit in the deep
11 uo eyes and the delicate Mush on tho
cheeks were not brought there by Gus
Rums.
She tried to appear interested with the
anee.ioi-.' ner companion was relating,
but all the time she kept saying to her
self :
Will he never come? Oh, how I
long to see him ! If he only gives me a
chance to show him. how I have

"Happy couple!" exclaimed Louis,
making a bad attempt to app.-ar uncon

Then looking at him reproachfully:
"Can you ask ? Do not their fajes tell

I.ouis Temple gionned inwardly. lie
forced a smile to his lips, and turning to

"Are you engaged frr this waltz? I

liow long she had been there she
never could tell. At last she was startled
by a well-known voice exclaiming:
""Gus, I suppose you will except a
friend's congratulations!"
"( "ongratulations?" bewild-Tingly.
"Yes, Gus. upon your approaciiing
marriage with Nellie Graverson."
"Marriage Nellie Graver.-on ! Upon
my work Toui, you take one's breath
aw ay. I am not going to lie married."
Then going straight up to his friend
and looking him in the eyes:
The-the fact is, old Itoy, I thought
you all solid there. What ever came be
tween you two? I thought if ever a
fellow idoiizfl a girl, you aid her."
"Yes, Gus, I di 1 love that girl, and (I

Nellie leaned against the bench for
support. He lov -d her still ! oh. if ho
only knew, liut no, it was impossible.
She could never tell him ; no, a thousand
times no ! yet she would
In an instant she stood before him, her
face flushing and paling alternately, and
the jewel.'d hauls were clinching anl
undincliing nervously.
She raised her eyes to his lioseeebing

hands.
"iireat heavens, Nellie, why do you
look at me like, that? you madden me.
Have you not made me suffer enough ?"
he asked in a low hoarse voice.
Her lip quiver pit'Vjusly.
He must have r.tad something en

"My darling, you did not mean what

he looked at her earnt-stly.
"No, no, 1-ouia. God knows how I
have reiiented, since having uttered
those heartless Words. Can will you

AYhen the famous phosph.-.to IkiIs
Wtre tliscovered in outh Carolina so no
years u-o, vast numbers ol bones .iu I
teeth were unearthed, bhov::i lu.n in
early times this lo aiity had been jeojled
by a great concourse of strange lorms.
Aniong the niost abundant curiosities, as
the workmen termed them, were quanti
ties of enormous teeth triangular in
shape, and serrated on the cutting edge.
When shown to a uaturahst they were
immediately recognised as shark teeth,
and it bet ame eve lent that at one li ne
the vicinity of Charleston was the bed oi
an uii-uu, an 1 that g g intic sharks tiour
ished there iu treat iiu i.1m.ts. When
ever the beds of the Asld y and Coop -r
rivers ate dredge 1 to-.ay numbers of
thest teeth are brought up. an 1 oiu iu
my collection is ucaiiy ii not qu.te as
large as my baud. As the bones ol the
bliark are of cartilage, they have lo'ig
sunt been de-tioye I, and on.y thes-j
beautiful. y polished teeth for they are
as Iresh and glistening as when I.rst us
covered are lelt to tell the 'story. It
would appear to be an iiiij-osiMi? task
to lestore this giant from a single looth.
l'.ut it is hot so dillnu t as one might
imagine. 1 roiii the shape ol the tooth
ol the great Carcharo Ion we can form
some ideaoi its appearance by compar
ing it with existing shiras, an i from its
tl e we can determine how large it was.
One day 1 attempted a ruu.Ji restoration
to gain some idea of the dimensions ol
the gtant. I bad in my pus-ess. on the
jaw ol a shark which I had caught in tiio
Gulf of Mexico, whieh would atlhetim
pass readily over my shoal lers. The
sh irk was about th.rteen leet long, and
the teeth sdout an inch and two-eighths
wide, ami an inch and a half iu length.
There were eiht ro.vs ol ih -se, each row
being a little smaller than the last, until
they d in lied down to mere points. 1
took as iiiitny of the iuaa.il te tn as 1 hail,
and buiit u; a jaw alter th existing
mo-lei, using teeth where 1 had them and
leaving space where 1 did nut. Gradually

I found myself a small item in the urea,
and when complete 1 I louud that the
largest lossil shark could h ive oje:i--d it

been less in proportion than one hundred

When I arrived iu the vicinity r:f our
village, I ,hiiddTod to see on every hand
sign.-, of the desolation t tiiit had been
wrought by the scourge. The ehtireh
bells in the villag'-s, at other times so

bitiiti und slietit a-s the grave ilx-lf. The
wheat in the hVdils had ripem-d. Ttie

M Touted again. Them was nobody to
gather the rich harvest. Wagons loaded
with empty coffins were the mly vehicles
to ! s. en on the public high ways.
I lost no time in reaching my native
village. Tho nearer I up; r aehs! my

by it dreudfiil sense of desolal ion. White,

out :
' When you get to Kisnlva, flop a

I nodded assent and (trove on. It

'As they both are dead they can tell

turning liis horse ho rode ido.-.ly back.
At length I reached my parents' house,
and was surrounded by the scenes of ?ny

lT. bio day ho met a Yankee w ho used

He sai l the drives were all hung up thit

Tint Yankee picked up ft rtij: and be

With a skill that few can emulate, he
told how the snow had melted long be for
the ice broke, and how tbe streams wi,e
so low that the logs could not be moved.
The manner iu v hich he to!d the story
would have made a dime-mus"nm lect

of a!!'air.-?, the salesman argued, would, ol
course, rc.-ult iu a rapid advance in
prices.
The Yankee continued to w hittle.
The lumber salesman delicately enir

then informed his auditor that "seeing a,
