I Our small tea party was a great success. Even Captain Dixon became quite jovial I Afterwara Captain Jessop insisted on their being allowed to escort us home, im pressing Cap tain Dixon, who was most un : willing' into the service. , We went the long way, as my new friend was certain that my brute would be the better for some J extra exercise, and as we left Gheziren we 7 were passed by Hiss Creagh and another j girl riding home from polo unescorted. I. thought she looked a little surprised, but j Captain Jessop was not In the least per turbed and-took off his hat with an en gaging-smile. I , He was no laggard, this young man, and we got on with, a bcwilderiag rapidity. I By ! the time we reached the Continental he 1 had asked leave to call; had offered me a mount for aiy or every day; had tried to' get nie to proknise him at least three dances that cveniiDg, and had implied that I was ' the only oasis in the desert cf Cairo society. "I dare say you think I am a fool.'f he said tenderly about tho time we passed, the i Siena stables "but I can always tell t a glance whether a person will be sympatica to me or not; Of course I can't hope that you feel th same, but you won't refuse to , be frii;uds,i; , v.-ill you? .

He was hurt If X didn't give him as many dances as he ex pected, hurt if I suggested that he might talk to somebody else for a change, hurt at my insisting on a right to speak to other men wnen ne was present and very fre quently hurt at my not discovering that he was hurt. He remained in dicnlflnd and mournful seclusion for three days be cause I danced twice running with Mr. jveiiy ana eaia x u&ea It, but when he found that, instead of being ready to apol ogize, X was very angry he gave in com pletely, and it was after this reconciliation that the pace grew quite too hot to last, as Netty said, and that I became far the first -.time slightly alarmed. : I One day a lady in the hotel we knew a little asked Netty and me to ride out to a moonlight dinner party at the pyramids, bringing our own escort, and, as a matter of course, Captain Jessop was mine. We left the hotel at about 6 on a deli cious evening a party of a dozen, all in excellent spirits. i " The first part of our ride we snent in an animated discussion as to the advisability of "Captain Jessop's ceasing to glue himself to my side when we reached the pyramids and the latter part in an argument as to the rights and duties of Platonic friend ship, including the advisability of hand kissing, which I refused to consider n6ces sarily included. I maneuvered not to sit next mv Pla tonic friend at dinner, inconsequence of which he sulked, but afterward, when a moonlight expedition to the sphinx was organized, he came up to me most amia bly. X I "I am going to walk up with Miss Ogil- vy,"ho said. 'VI consider you, as you know, the greatest friend I have in the j world; so, of course, I want to do as you "If you selected Mrs. Osrilvy, X might be more touched with your self sacrifice," I said, laughing. "Your act of renunciation will be a little softened by the fact that Hose Osrilvy is the prettiest girl here to night." I Indeed he bore the infliction so well that not only did he walk up to the pyramids with Miss Ogilvy, but also rode down on a donkey beside her. "Am I not virtuous?" he Bald as. he passed me with a smile on the balcony and proceeded to mount Miss Ogilvy while I began to be a little surprised. I was still more when he and she rode calmly away together, leaving me to the rather cross, attentions of a little man in the artillery who was her " proper escort. We rode the whole eight miles together, he and I, and bored each other to extinction!. "P told you so," said Netty when we parted for the night. ; "What utter rubbish you do talk!" I said snappishly. "I particularly asked him to be civil to Miss Ogilvy." I "WU, all I can say is He has been un commonly obedient," returned Nettys, f There had been a ride half arranged for next day, but Captain Jessop did not turn up, and our next meeting was in the even ing at a private dance. i He was talking to Miss Ogilvy when we came Into the room, and Netty gave me a significant glance, in return for which I could cheerfully have shaken her. He looked across at us, smiled and bowed, but made no movement. " . t The first dance began, and my pro gramme was by no means full. Captain Jessop passed me as I sat among the wallflowers with Miss Ogilvy on his arm. ' v V j "You mustn't begin by being lazy, Miss Dalison," he said. "Why aren't you danc ing?" . I thought of Miss Creagh, of the intro ductions I had declined, and the men I had not thought good enough to dance with. I felt capable of wising .and insist ing that somebody should dance with me and welcomed the arrival of a young and callow subaltern with an effusion which must have surprised him, as also my granting him two waltzes without demur. I would have been happy to give him all the rest rather than leave Captain Jessop an opening for another such remark, A lancers came third on the programme, and in the visiting figure Captain Jessop and bis partner came to us. j It is too late-to ask for a dance now, X suppose, Miss Uaiisonr" said he non chalantly. I nodded, with three vacant places in my programme staring me in the face. "i am awiuuy sorry i hadn't a chance of asking you before," he said, "but I did hope that you would keep a dance or two for a friend." I And then he and his partner went back to their place, and I exchanged not another word with him that evening. j The next day, being Sunday, he walked home from church with Miss Ogilvy.

"Speaking of wonderful adventures, said the retired sea captain, "I donbt If anything ever was more wonderful than the one I m going to tell you. it nappenea a good many years ago, but that doesn't alter its excellence or interfere with its truth. I was first mate on the Lovely Lou of Bangor, and we had been on our way to South America for about four weeks. The wind had left the ship during the last day of this period, and we were dipping our peak to a lolling swell that seemed to come from nowhere ana return to tne same place without making a ripple oh the blue surface of the ocean. The sails were all set, and their shadows fell clear upon the glassy surface, but where the sun fell the water was as clear as crystal. We were well within the tropics then, and several big sharks had been seen playing about the vessel. Suddenly there came a splash, and the cook ran to where I was standing on the noon deck, crying that one of the sail ors had tumbled overboard. The Lou had no way. and I laughed at the idea of him drowning, telling the cook to throw him a rope, walking to the rail as I did so. j -"The sailor was swimming about the Quarter enjoying his bath when I sudden ly saw an ominous black fin make its ap pearance 100 yards or so from the ship. 1 yelled for the -rope, and as I yelled I saw the fin move toward the sailor, cutting the water like a knife. I knew that unless tbe man was taken out quickly he would be devoured, and I rushed to the cabin grating to get a line. Seizing a piece of rope I hastened to the rail just in time to see the form of an immense shark turn on its side to seize the sailor. As he did SO there was an instant's alimnseof along brown body and then tho water was slashed into a sea of yeasty foam, the shark seemingly beiig in trouble. I "I threw the line, and In a moment the sailor was aboard, scared out of . his wits, . but safe and sound. The thrashing in the water still continuing: we proceeded to In vestigate, and directly we were able to see that the shark had. been pinned by a large swordflsh, the sword running through the jaws of tho shark in such a manner as to prevent the fish from opening them. Wheth er tbe shark's antagonist had deliberately attacked the shark we know not, but Its timely and unexpected - appearance saved tho sailor's life beyond a doubt, as another instant would have sent the teeth Of the shark into the body of the man. , We man- aired to release the sword rrom the sharx and killed the latter, letting the other go free.

By Telegraph- to tbe Morning Star. New York, May 21 The cotton market opened quiet and steady with June 2 points lower and other months unchanged to 8 points higher. An ad vance of 2 to 6 points followed the first call. Buying by Wall street operators' was . an early feature, although crop news, while cocflicting, had a bearish average, especially that reaching the market in the afternoon. Houses with Liverpool connections were conspicu ous sellers of new crop positions. Jane notices will be scarce to-morrow and the few that appear will be promptly, taken care of as indicated by tbe firm relation of spot cotton to the future list. In the alternoon . the market opened under steady selling by a Concern that has been carrying considerable cotton for some time. Other selling followed with the result of breaking prices to a shade be low yesterday's closing figures. The close was steady, unchanged to 2 points net decline. t New York, May 26 Evening.
