France at that time had fourteen
battleships, each of over 10000 tons
displacement, the largest being the
Bouvet, Of 12,205 tons. There are
now twenty-six battleships. each Of
more than 10000 tons, in the French
navy, the heaviest being the Deme~
cratic class, now building, ships of A.
635 tons. Italy, in 1895, had ten bat
tleships ranking above the 10O00-ton.
class, the heaviest being the Lepanto,
a 15,9OO-ton ship, built in 1888, and So
heavily armed and armored that She
almost found it difficult to get out Of
her own way. She Is now ranked as
a second-class battleship; but she is
not considered fit to stand even In
that line. The Italia, sister ship to
the Lepanto, was built in 1880, and
was for many years the largest bat
tleship afioat. She represents an early
attempt to build monster battle
ship, but, apart Afrom size, she has
never been considered at all formidax
BILE. Italy now has fourteen battle
ships, each over 10000 tons, the heavi-
est being the Regina Margherita, 49,
124 tons
In 1895 the United States and Ger
many were equal as to battleships Of
over 10000 tons. Each had four; the
United States had the heaviest ship
in the Iowa, of II, $40 tons. Germany's,
four were uniformly 10000 tons. Now
Germany has eighteen heavy battle
ships, and six building. The United
States has twelve, with thirteen build
ing and two projected. The heaviest
German battleships to-day are her H.
997- ton class; the heaviest In the Uni.
ted States Is the Connecticut class,
10000 tons.
The wars of the United States with,
Spain and Japan with Russia have not
been without their lessons to the naval
powers, and the tendency is to build
larger and heavier battleships, so that
they may carry more tremendous bat
teries. The determination to build
these enormous ships was arrived at
only after considerable discussion. It
was thought by some naval construc-
tors that more units. each of consid-
cradle power, were to be desired above
a few battleships of the greatest
power.
1t was thought that the Dreadnought
would be the last word in warship
construction for many years, but now
1t appears that Japan Is to build three
battleships Of $4,000 tons each. Ger
many is reported to be considering a
20,O00-ton warship, and France next
year is to lay down one of 20, 800 tons.
Perhaps the contest will end in uni
versal peace, for there is limit t.
battleship construction, and IL 1t is
not reached In the Dreadnought, 1t al
least must be near.

The British are about to begin the
construction Of the largest. heaviest,
most powerful and most costly battle
ship ever built, and intend to have
the pennant flying from ner mast with
In sixteen months after the date on
which the first keel plates are laid.
This tnvincible and invulnerable war
vessel is to be named Dreadnought,
and the British admiralty has designed
her to be capable of equaling her
name. She will mount more heavy
guns than any two battleships now
afoat; will be able to withstand an
attack from submarine, and If she
happens to touch off a floating mine
Will be able to continue afioat until
port Is reached. In addition to these
enviable virtues, the Dreadnought will
also have great speed, and, If she
wants to turn tail' her engines, de-
yeloping a speed of p knots an hour,
VIII enable her to outdistance any too
pressing foe. Even If overtaken, the
very thick armor plating will enable
her to stand unusual punishment, and
Tor dealing with torpedo boats she will
have a small battery of one-pounders
and six-pounders. She will also be
armed with torpedo tubes, but will be
unique In having no secondary bat
terry.
No details of the armor to be placed
on the Dreadnought have been given,
but it is known that she will be the
most completely armored ship afioat.
Her armor alone will weigh about g.
600 tons. In empower the Dread
nought is designed to be the most for
midable warship ever seen. No bat
tleship in the world to-day carries
more than four Pinch guns, but the
Dreadnough will mount no fewer than
ten, or two and half times as manv
as any ship afioat. This enormous hat
terry of Pinch rifles will have a COM
bined muzzle energy of 4SO, 900 foot
tons. Each Of these big guns will
throw shell weighing $50 pounds, the
combined battery being able to throw
over four tons of projectfles, at one
discharge. The Dreadnought will be
able to throw this immense weight of
metal a distance of five or six miles.
at which range the shells would pierce
the armor of practically any battleship
af1oat.
|. Progress in Battleships.
There has been wonderful adj
vance in the development of battle
ships within the last ten years. In
1895 Great Britain had twenty-three
armored ships. each Of more than TO-
600 tons. To-day, If there are includ-
cd the ships being built, she has sixty.
In 1895 the heaviest British battle
ship was the Royal Sovereign, of IA
260 tons. There were eight ships of

CHAPTER XVI.

David nodded his head slowly.
Three thousand pounds" he repeated.
1T was three thousand pounds"
I'm not rich man, David, though
you think I am. As for taking your
farm if haunt taken it. somebody
else would; for you were a ruined man.
And now, even, if leave it to you in my
will, 1t would be little use, because
Mary's money must come out of it. Oh!
1t was hard blow--a cruel, hard blow"
YES" said David. "As a Judgment,
1t was a-a-a-wunner. 1 never heard
OF nobler Judgment. Three thousand
pounds!-and fall off your pony land
paralysis!-all for robbing me of my
land. Did you ever offer any reward y
mo. What was the goodT'
Would you give any reward? p
Il would give-I would give-yes-I
would give ten pounds to get that box
back again."
Ten pounds for three thousand.
That's generous offer, isn't itY"
I'D give fifty pounds-I'd give a hun
dred--two hundred-four hundred, Da-
vid." He multiplied his offer by two ey-
cry time that David shook his head.
You'd have to come down more hand
some than four hundred to get back three
thousand pounds. Well" he rose as if
to go, that's all I've got to say this
morning. That will do for to-day. Much
more handsome you would have to come
down."
David" cried his uncle, eagerly,
what do you mean by being more hand
somef Tell me, David-do you know
anything?"
why" said David, "I may know, or
l may not know. What did l tell you :?
Didn't l say that 1 might have something
to sell? Well-that's enough for this
morning" He moved toward the door.
David, David, come back! What have
You got to sell?"
THAT is my secret"-he stood with
his hand on the door handie-"if you tell
secret, what is the good of it?'
david, stop-stop! Do you know
where that box was taken? Oh! David,
put away your hard thoughts. Remem-
Der you were ruined already. l didn't
ruin you; my heart bled to see your faith
er's son running himself"
Look here, uncle; perhaps the box ex-
lists, and perhaps it doesn't. Perhaps
have learned where it is and perhaps
haven't. Perhaps I've got a paper out
of the box in my pocket at this minute,
and perhaps-well, what would you give
me for paper out of the box, taken
out this very morning, none of the other
papers having been so much as touched :?
What would you give for that, just to
show that the others can be laid hold
OFF,
"Oh! give it to me, David" the old
man stretched out both hands with yearn-
ing eyes; ''let me look at it. Can it be
that the box is found after all, and safer"
''If 1t Is found, depend upon it that
1t is safe, uncle. Take your oath of that,
The man who's got that box won't let it
go in hurry, particularly when he
knows what's inside it. Three thousand
pounds! and, perhaps, if he knew it, his
own, for the trouble of presenting them
at the right place"
They've been stopped" Daniel ex.
planned for the second time. "You don't
know what that means, perhaps; it means
that any one who presents those papers
for payment will find the money stopped,
and himself taken up for unlawful pos
session of the coupons, David-which 10

His Hearts Desire
BY SIR WALTER BEsAN

BY SIR WALTER BESANT

Take it to Daniel tomorrow and
show it to him, Will. He always de-
clares that he was robbed of this money
as well as of his bonds and securities.
Nobody has ever believed him, because 1t
seems unreasonable that robber should
take twenty pounds and leave fifty. But
if 1t is proved that he is right about the
money, he may also be right about tho
bonds"
Strange that neither of us thought of
connecting David's box with his uncle's
bonds. But then did not know that
the bonds were in a box; one thinks of
bonds as a roll of paper.
"As for David's box" said George
II agree with you, Will, that 1t is best
to say nothing about it. Let him keep
his secret. If it is valuable, so much
the better. We will keep the thing to
ourselves. But as for the canvas bag,
you must certainly take it to Gratnor
tomorrow, and give Daniel the chance
Of claiming it."
