They romp in troops through this beautiful land From morning till set of sun, And the Drowsy Fairies have sweet dreams planned When the little tasks are done. Here are no strivings for power and placo, The last are first in the mimic race, All hearts arc trusted, all life Is grace, And Peace siugs “All goes well”— For God walks daily with unveiled face In the land where the children dwell. . —[John Jerome Kooney. FAIRY’S SECRET. “A trip to the Yellowstone! You are too good to me, papa.” I took her iu my arms, my own child, from whose cheek the rose had faded, and in whoso deep-brown eyes sad shadows had grown. Sho was of a nature peculiar to those whose childhood days have been spout with cldorly people. She felt deeply. Events that merely ruiHod lighter natures left lasting effects upon her. I had watched her tenderly since her mother had put her iu iny arms, and left me alone. When she grew listless and the sweet eyes drooped, I laid aside all cares and took her away. She looked so like her mother the day we took the train at Chicago. Her brown dress, just matching her eyes, lent a deeper shade to her chestnut hair. As we neared a city in North ern Illinois Fairy exclaimed: “Oh, papa, is this another Rome? Surely it is a city built on seven hills.” “Galena!” shouted the brnkemnn. “What climbers tho people must he here,” sho continued, looking at some of the long rows of stairs uscendtp tho steep hills. The city seemed to be laid out in terraces. Wc stood at the foot of Main Streot and looked up at two of these terraces, with trees of an im mouse height apparently on each. I settled myself comfortably and prepared to go to sleep. Fairy read a while, but soon drew n locket from her dress. She touched the spring, and the sad look camo again .to her sweet eyes. I had tried lo learn her secret. Was she sighing for a moth er’s love ? Perhaps I had better get married, I thought. I rcsolve.l to give the mailer serious thought al some future time. Unknown io Fairy, I resolved to stop over at Cheyenne, whore sho was horn, and Ella, my wife, was called away- Capt. Storry had often asked mo to visit the old fort. It would bo liko old times to sco Hie boys again. “Do you remember Capt. Slorrcy, Fairy?” I asked her. “Ho is an old follow like mo, but a nobler soul never inhabited a human body.” I did not think that Fuiry heard. Sho turned her head quickly and caught her breath. “You wish to stop and sco him, papa?” sho asked sweetly. “How well I remember tho morning ho came two yoars ago—you wore nineteen. Ho asked for you as if you were a two-year-old. Wo saw you kneeling over a flower bed, your white dress and flowing hair making a prottv picture. Do you remember I told you to come and kiss papa’s friend? How llal wont to kiss you and you drew back so proudly. He rated me sound, ly for not lolling him you were a lady grown. Why, Fairy, it seems but yesterday that you played upon our knees at tho old fort. You wero such good friends after that. Why, Ha 1 was like a secoud father.” And so ] rattled on, lost in old memories. Hal had stayed at o:ir house for si.\ months and had left suddenly, ] thought. He smiled strangely, ] thought, when I, with a fathei’s adoration, was eulargiug upou Fairy’s charms. While I had been droamiug, we had passed over the great plain", with their huge herds of cattle uud pretty Westoru cities. Cheyenno was reached at last. How changed it seemed! Some of the dour faces were the same- They grasped my hands, these old comrades, «gd J w«l young again, 1 was surprised when, turning sud denly, I saw a tall, slender lady put her arms arond Fairy and kiss ber sadly. I knew ber, Elinor, my wife friend and the widow of our beloved commander. Sho, too, was visiting the foit At the hop the next evening it dawned upon ino that Fairy was no longer a child, and that she was ns lovely as Ella (my wife) was when first saw her and gave her my whole heart. But why did the girl look so wist ful ? 1 went to whero she stood. “Fairy, Capt. Slorrcy left last night for Californio. I am so sorry. Elinor Aloe’s arm tightened about Fairy’s .waist. Although tho dear girl never flinched, yet her cheek paled. Elinor knew then, I thiuk what Fuiry’s secret was. “Are you bliud Captain ?” she asked tnc one day. To save my soul couldn’t see what she mount. Sho was a lovely woman of about thirty-live, with a face sweet and sym pathetic, and a carriage like a queen She suggested that we pay a visit to her home in Santa Barbara, and see Yellowstone on our way back. AVe readily consented. I cannot tell you of that trip over tho Rockies. I was inspired,uplifted awpd. When deep emotions pass over us we are sometimes left speech less Tims with me, I felt my disadvan tnge; but words failed to express tho grandour of those snow-capped peaks as they raised their jutted sides to the blue sky. Tho deep canyons where thousands of feet below flowed tho Colorado—ah, how clearly it showed us that porsevcrauco will wenr away the hardest obstacle, aye, evou ada mant. The Mexican costumes still cling about Santa Barbara and seem to instill the air with a vague, sweet novelty. In this quaint city of roses, so liko beloved Italy, I left my darl iug iu Mrs. Aloe’s tender care, while l took a trip tip the coast. When I met llul at ’Frisco, I tell you, I felt my forty-:lircc years lightly. Hal went back to Santa Barbara with me. I was telling him how the last year Fuiry had drooped. Sho was so dear to me, and so was my friend, and I could not keep the tears back. Hal walked down to the beach and back again “Bertie,” he said at last, “I am an old fool, but I lost my henrt to Fairy that summer I spent at your home.” “Why, man, you are old enough to be her fulher!” I exclaimed “I am not yet forty, Bertie,” he said. “Of course, I know I can never win her; she is as far above me as the stars. But I do love her. It camo to mo late, but it is real aud earnest, Bertie.” I looked at Hal. Ho did not look old. The brown cnrls were untouched by time’s silver pencil. Tho unliuod face, merry blue eyes and stalwart figure showed n man in tho fulness of his prime. After Hal had spent few days iu Santa Barbara, he said to to me: “Why don’t you marry Airs. Aloe? She is alone; so are you and Fuiry. Sho needs a woman’s care; and Airs Aloe is such a perfect lady,” 1 pondered over his words. As Fairy seemed beltqr, we tarried in Santa Barbara until nearly five mouths had passed. I was walking on (lie beach one day when I saw Airs. Aloe coming towards mo. “Elinor,” I said, “I am a blunt old s oldior, and I buried my henrt in El la's grave. But I have a deep, loyal regard for you and you aro alone. Fairy and I need you. Will you Lo my wife?” Elinor placed her hand in mine, and wo wc wont io tho old mission church aud wero married there ami thou. We saw Fairy as we camo in, silling o i (ho veranda, gazing out on the vast Pacific. ‘Fairy,” I said, “this is my wife.’' •Aly mother!” And I loft Iho two—dearest to uio on earth—to gether. Wo passod the summer in the Yo- semite, whero naturo shows herself in majestic beauty. Capt. Storroy was a frequent visitor to our home. Never by look or action did he betray his secret. With pain I observed that Fairy avoided him. I was ou tho verge of telling Elinor more than once, but could not betray my dear friend’s secret. Fairy seemed so Imppy, aud yet at times there came' that wistful look that so puz zled me. “Tell me,” I said one day, drawing ber to my knee. She laid her head ou my shoulder, and sobs such as on ly well forth whou long suppressed shook her form. She had never kept a secret from me beforo, aud 1 was pained.

Ah, poor Storrcyl His chances were gone, indeed. If Fuiry loved like ibis, she would never love agnin. “Is it unreturued, dear?” I asked her. “Yes, father, he is far ubove mo. He thinks mo a child.” How my heart ached. My Fairy was a woman with a woman’s doom upon her. I told her then of her mother—how sho had left me and how dark the world all looked. “But, dear,” I said, “you nro a soldier’s daughter." Then she kissed mo aud understood. Sho was no longer listless. Sho grew more thoughtful, more unselfish and moro beautiful. She told us one day she wanted lo go to Italy. 1 never could deny her anything; so she went Ah, my Fairy, that sorrow has moulded your character—made you the woman you are today.

Tho figure was gracefully posed on one foot, one arm was upraised, tho beau- tifnl head thrown slightly back. Tho expression on the cold, marble face was one of the sweetest patience. It was my Fuiry’s work.

Fifty miles from l’alu, in the north ern part of Ala ill Island, is tho planta tion of the Hawaiian Commercial Company—one of tho largest sugar estates in iho world, Dr. J. Mott Smith says. On the sandy isthmus connecting East and West Alaui, and on a plain which was formerly an arid desert, whore not a trco or scarcoly a blade of grass ten years ago could be found, can now be soon green pastures, beautiful flower gardens, avenues of ces and 12,000 acres of growing sugarcane. On (his extensive planta tion is n sugar mill cnpable of manu facturing 120 tons of sugar a day. This great change was brought about by storing tho rain gifts of tho clouds, which for ages had fallen on barren rocks forty miles distant and un to waste into the sea. Tho work of transferring the rainfall from the mountains to tho sugar plantation is one of tho greatest pieces of engineer ing in the Pacific.

Sharks are very common all along the coast of Australia. They become moro numerous, larger aud more vo racious the nearer we go to iho equator. Passengers who make ocean voyages may often see them from the deck of the ship, but I see them in their native clement, says a diver In Chambers’ Journal. A day seldom passes when I am at work that I do not sco some of those creatures. They do not scctn to recognize a diver when clad iu his diving dress as something which is good to eat. Probably he is mistaken for Borne other great se ft monster with which the shark would just as soon as not meusuro his strength. At all events sharks rarely give us any active anuoyance. At first when we go into a new country they exhib it some curiosity. They sometimes come and inspect us and our work, m oving slowly around us with per ceptible motion and smelling us like great dogs.- It gives one a very hor rible feeling of insecurity, I assure you, when one of those monsters twelve or fourteen feet long runs his hobo around your body, and without oven a solitary “wag” of his tail to indicate good fellowship. The shark will swim away right enough when ho has finished his inspection—at least he has always done so wilh me— and although annoying I can stand it now. Sometimes when you go down of a morning you will find half a dozen big and littlo sharks who have evidently selected the sile of your operations as a camping ground. This is awkward. Perhaps they have observed the dis turbance ut (he bottom of the sea, and, like marine constables, they “arc waiting for tho fellow who made it to run him in.” This is an awkward experience, for those sharks do not clear off and admit your claim. They say all animals have a fear of man, but sharks cannot recognize a man in a diver’s costume. They neither op. po6e nor assist us in our operations— they simply ignore us. AVe have to be very careful then, walking arou id about these pigs without disturbing them. 1 have occasionally used a small crowbar as a weapon and struck a small shark on the nose when he was annoying me with his persistency. The shark will then turn and go oil with a rush. I would not, however, like to try my crowbar on a shark len feet long. After his rush awny he might return for further investiga tion. 1 have had many nasty adventures with sharks when pursuing my occu pation. I recollect one tiiat gave me a considerable shock. I had been en gaged blowing up a reef of rocks so as to enlargo a little harbor on the coast. It was my duty to make the hole and put in tho charge of dyna mite. The charge was exploded in the evening after we left off work. On going down every morning I was accustomed to go over to a certain ledge which was always a good rest ing place for lobsters. Morning after morning I had invariably found a pair or moro of these crustaceans, which I sent to tho surface in a bas ket. On the morning to which I now refer I walked straight to the ledgo aud ran my hand carefully along its lower side. 1 was surprised to find my hand scraping wtiat I took to lie the rock, but I was surprised still more whou l observed my hand groping within a foot of the mouth of a great shark which had retired to rest in this cavity. Tho shark must have been as much alarmed as 1 was, for it made ouc sprinting from its resting place and disappeared in tho dark wall of tho ocean. The shock to me was greater than I could have believed, and even yet I do not care to think about it. It is hardly necessary to say that I did not return to that ledgo for lobsters for somo time. task, an aged man—who is hired for ♦his purpose and receives a small com pensation—lays his hand upon the head of the little one aud exclaims: “Long may you live!"
