The San Francisco call., 1897-10-17

All the boys he had played with had
gone to school, but, this being his birth
day, he had been allowed TO stay at home,
now his m other had deserted. What was
he 10 do next?
He sat down in his Ii tile express wagon
to think over the situation.
Just then unknown to Dick his mother
returns to the window, and is a silent bui
much interested listener to Dicks
though:s-for he has never overcome his
baby habit of thinking aloud.
MAN is superior to womanl Uncle
says tnat. / asked him if little BOYS were
superior too; and he said of course they
were rememb ber l told that to Cousin
Nell, and she pushed me over and bumped
nv head very hard"
"Oh, dear! oh. dear! If / were only free
what jolly good time l could have to-
day."
Dick" called mamma from the win
dow.
why. mamma, are you there and did
you hear what 1 was thinkingP"
"Yes, dear. ana my feelings are not the
least bit hurt either. Ii YOU will come 10
me have plan to talk over with YOU"
Dick climbed through the window and
seated himself on his mothers knee, but
as quickly sprang to his feet again, re-
mem bering his boasted superiority.
Mamma smiled and said: "Dick. while
you were thinking / have been thinking,
too, only you did not hear me as l did
you. intend to let you do exactly as you
please for this one day. You must not
come to me through the day for any ad-
vice. Nor shall offer any to you. You

So the Swan led and the Stork followed
to the shelter OF a mountain pine tree.
There the Swan spread his broad wings
over Goldilocks and kept her warm with
his down. Strange TO say the little girl
was not hungry. She fell asleep and slept
until the moon came paeping over the top
of the mountain range. Then she awoke,
hearing little voices calling and laughing.
Goldiocks rubbed her eyes and stepped
out where the moon shone full upon a bed
of golden Cali iornia poppies. every one OF
which was ncdding its downy head in
time 10 soft. queer music.
Welcome, Go,dilocks," said many
voices at once.
Thank you. but where are you2"
A hundred fairies ran laughing
toward Goldilocks; then Joined hands and
danced in a circle around her In the moon
light. An old black cricket, who slept
under stone, crawled out, tuned his vio-
lin and began to play. Half dozen katy
dds joined with their iddles in the music.
From their nest in the manzanitas and in
the pines many small birds twittered a
CHEEKY chorus, in which the fairies ioyiaIly
joined.
There are nights, SO the fairies say,
when the rays of the moon are magic, ana
then it is that the fairies have their flower
dance. Their little feet call flowers into
lie and into blossom, and on the morning
after 'maeic moon" whole mountain
sides are suddenly .ebloom. This was a
magic night when GoIdllocks happened to
be on the mountain range.
When the dance was over the Stork told
Goldilocks of fairy boats that sail throug h
the air when the moon shines-boats with
gilded prows and banners of silk, with

THE STORIES OF
OUR OWN STATE.

THE com petition for the honor OF a
favored place on "The Young Authors
Page" grows apace. Some excellent sto-
ries have been received from children who
do not attend any school. They wish TO
compete and make a plea for the privi-
lege. To enable them to do so it has been
decided to fix November as the date for
closing the competition and to invite ali
children, under Is years of age, to send in
their stories about California. The limit
OF flength is 600 words.
The real test is the ability of the writer
20 be interesting. Minor faults in com posi-
tion will not be counted against any
coh!petitor. All good stories will be
given favorable mention. The best
five will be published side by side
and the best one will be illus
trated by the art department of The CALL
Do not forget that young artists also have
a chance to secure the honor of having q
design placed at the head of the page,
which will be known as 1.-The Young
Authors Page"
ut was just after sunset when the fairies
were preparing for q midnight search,
with their golden torches. their blue
nightcaps and their sparkling red eyes
and they were all sitting in a row, over
the shi mmering fairy lake on a cluster of
lotus flowers
"Soon the violet queen will be seen in
the east, sailing west across our pretty
lake in her golden ship. and we will go
tonight"
These are two extracts from a story
written by 12-vear- old schoolgirl. They
give an idea of the whole composition.
