Bio Ships for the Pacific.

In discussing the building of large
ships for the Pacific Coast trade, the
Philadelphia Press in recent article
says:
Among the three largest ships built
last year are the Sonoma, Ventura
and Sierra. belonging TO The Spreck-
els Line. and built TO replace the old
Alameda and Mariposa. built seven
teen years ago. under the mail sub
sidy contract with that concern The
new ships were necessary to take the
place of the old ones. Besides the sub
sidy. they have the advantage, so far
as the trade between San Francisco
aud Honolulu outward and inward
Is concerned. of the coasting law,
which excludes foreign competition.
The next three steamships, Califor-
nian. Hawaiian and American. were
built under the law organizing the ter
ritory of Hawaii. which restricts trade
between all ports OF the United States
and Honolulu to American vessels, so
they have this trade exclusively.
To take up me vessels now building
on the seaboard which will be launch
ed during the year 1901. no better out
look is shown. There are two big
ones. the Corea and Siberia, 1890
gross tons each. eighteen knots, build
ing for the Pacific Mail. These steam
ships are to run from San Francisco
TO Honolulu and thence to China and
Japan. From San Francisco TO Homo
lulu outward and inward they have
the exclusive trade guaranteed to Am
erican vessels by the Hawaiian act.
and beside this. they can come in un-
der the postal subsidy law of 1891.

Larry limped TO the rear of the store
and crouched down by the stove to warm
himself, for the day was cold His home
was on the outskirts of the great city
and It was good three miles walk to the
grocer's shop.
Poor Larry was badly handicapped in
his battle with life One day while play
ing in the street he had been run over
by heavy truck. A leg was broken. He
was taken to the hospital of course, and
the broken bone was set, but no one took
any particular interest in him and he was
cut and hobbling around before he should
have been. There was no one to tell him
that he was Gripping himself for life.
Lying all day in dirty squalid room with
rothing to read-he didn't know how 10
read anyway-and no one to talk to, was
it any wonder he longed for the street
again.. His mother came home at noon

she scrubbed the floors and made some

weak tea, and cut some slices of bread;
and some times there was a couple of
boiled potatoes.
When Larry got his first job with
grocer their dining table became a little
more inviting in appearance.
Whenever the boy had to deliver a peck
of potatoes, for example, it was so easy
to "swipe' three or four and stow them
away in his pockets; in the same way a
few crackers and an occasional dish of
vegetables found it's way to the McCor-
mick's table. But you mustn't blame Lar
ry for this pilfering. He didn't know
that he was doing wrong. How should
he?
He was only 10 years old, but already
his philosophy of life was summed up in
the conviction that everybody was against
him and the more he could wheedle or

learned to do while his broken leg kept
him on his back. With a stub OF pene

caricature sketches of people he saw. How

And now as he lounged by the stove
when he should have been arranging the
row of baskets to be filled with the early
orders. he was sketching his Dutch boss
on a piece of yellow wrapping paper with
an order pencil. In the bitterness of his
spirit he was cruelty accentuating the
mans double chin, his little pig eyes and
the queer lines of his pudgy figure. Just
then a man in a SLOUGH hat and rather
negligent attire stepped briskly into the
shop.
"Eh! Dutchy" he called out. cheerily;

went to a number of prominent people in

CHAPTER XIII.
The Revolt of the Dolls.

Dot and Tot awoke early, but the sun
was already flooding the palace with its
silver rays, and they made haste to dress
and join the Queen at breakfast.
This meal was as dainty and satisfy
ing as the one they had partaken Of the
night before, and the wax Queen laugh
ed and talked so pleasantly that no one
would have suspected she was about to
undertake a long journey.
II shall try to return by sundown,
she said to them, 80 you will only be
alone during the day. I advise you to
pass the time by exploring the valley.

a scarlet cloak over her shoulders and
prepared to start
Il would like you. to waken the dolls

The Queen reflected a moment before
she replied:
1.-THE dolls are often mischievous when
they have a whole day to themselves,
and you might find them troublesome.
However, as you will be sure to enjoy
their merry pranks, I'll do as you wish,
and leave you the dolls for playmates."
"Oh, thank you ever so much!' cried
Dot, gratefully.
The Queen now called the carriages
and they all rolled down to the main
street of the village. Here her Majesty
waved the magic wand three times, and
the dolls Immediately awoke and began
such a chattering and such romping play
that the Queen herself became bewilder-
ed and ordered the coachman to hasten
to the river bank.
Dot and Tot went with her to see her
start upon her journey, and when they
had passed out of the big gate, which
the wooden soldiers opened for them with
respectful salutes, the Queen said:
I am going to borrow your boat, for
it will be the easiest way for me to reach
the Valley of the Watch Dog
But you can never row it up stream. .
said Dot; and there is but one oar.
''Oh, I shall not need the oars at all, .
responded the Wax Doll, and seated her
self in the boat.

you have not yet told us your name?"
Didn't l tell you yesterday" returned
the Queen, as if surprised.

I am so busy that sometimes 1 forget to
do things. But I must be going; so good
by, my dears; hope the dolls won't
bother you too much
I'VE shall enjoy them,, replied Dot
The Queen now waved her fairy wand
and at once the boat glided from the
shore.
.Good-by, your Majesty" cried Dot and
Tot together.
Swiftly the boat foated up the stream
SO swiftly, indeed, that the water rippled
like music against the bow. The chill
dren waved their handkerchiefs at che

arch leading to sthe, Valley of Babies.
