Where did you get it?" she asked.
Well. l made it myself" he replied.
You see. a fellow gets lonesome some
times sailing around here all by him
self and it's company for me-"
He showed Bertha how to take off
it's little blue jacket and put it on
again.
Can it shut its eyes. like my Rose?"
Bertha asked.
"N-no. it can't exactly shut EN-" the
Sailor said, but it can talk. Would
you like to hear it?'
Very much" she replied.
Talk to the lady, Bill" the Sailor
said
Two and two make hve." said the
doll in very thin voice. Five and
five make seven. Three and three
make And then 1t stopped.
He never could learn what three and
three make" the Sailor observed. I've
told him time and again that three and
three make nine. but he's so stupid"
But three and three make six Ber
tha exclaimed, and he had the other
sums wrong, too.
Not the way 1 do EN-" the Sailor
said. There's only one way to do
sums if you want to get them right,
you know" said Bertha.
Il don't want to get them right" the
Sailor replied. There's no satisfaction
in that. Very few people understand
the way l do them-yery few indeed" "
Evidently he did not visa to pursue
the subject, for he went to work again
at the pockets and pulled out a great
many things. There was Noah's ark
and a quantity of picture books, a
large rubber ball, pair of skates, a
croquet set. some ninepins, three or
four suits of clothes exactly like the
ones he had on. a large owl and a num-
Der of white rabbits. In fact. after a
time most of the pockets seemed to be
flied with rabbits. There were so many
of them that they went skipping all
over the cloud.
I'm sure l don't know where they
came from" the Sailor said at last,
wiping his forehead with his handker-
chief and frowning at them. They're
an awful nuisance"
What do you feed them on?" Ber-
tha asked.
Letters" said the Sailor gloomily.
Il suppose you mean lettuce Bertha
suggested.
NO, 1 mean letters" the Sailor in
sisted. Here come some now"

Of it, "Tn take you there some day
il you viii be a good little girl and
not tease. YOu'n be surprised
why not go now2 It's a pleasant
day" said a voice
Bertha looked around, but she did not
see anybody. The voice was not very
loud and it sounded something like the
leaves I'm the oak tree under which she
was standing Bertha thought she
must have been mistaken.

NO trouble at all about it," the voice
said. Just follow that path behind

Bertha looked at the path, which went
straight in among the trees. She had
never been in there before, but the
path looked friendly. and she decided

newspaper Office. and in the New Star
office the name of the ogreish overseer
was Delaney.
The boys in the New Star Office hated
Delaney with a bitter hatred, and, to
tell the plain facts, Delaney was not
nip and tuck who would get the better
of the other. and as a general rule De-
laney came out ahead. Battle waged
necessarily, and If Delaney generally
managed to partly break the spirit of
the individual boys by suspending or

ne, too, had fighting blood. Let's ask
him." said Red, and then just let him
have it"
NO" Petey Flynn interrupted. "We'll
ask him first: then If he doesn't do it
we can go to somebody else. You see,
If we hadn't asked him first, why. the
people we went to about 1t would say
we ought to-"
But. alas. for the peaceful plans of
Petey. When he arrived at e Office at
a quarter before o'clock the next
evening, with plenty of time in which
to lay the bench grievance before De-
laney, he found that Red and Rosey
were already on hand deeply engaged
in making trouble. Delaney had gone
into a little dark storeroom to get
some supplies for the night. and the
boys were holding the door. so that he
couldn't get out, and giggling with de-
light at his predicament, while he
roared at them to open the door. When
the two boys saw Petey they remem-
bered the serious duties of the night
and opened the door at once. ducking
under cover in nearby doorway De-
laney emerged in a rage from the store
room and saw only Petey standing
there.
Petey hesitated. 1t might be well to
wait for another evening, and yet
something was likely to happen almost
any evening. He decided to brave it.
Firmly but respectfully he laid before
Delaney the discomforts of the bench
and requested that chairs be substi-
tuted
"Chairsi" roared Delaney. so you
can throw them at people and make
trouble, eh? Not chair. No. sir; yell
set on that same bench as long as
you're in the New Star office. That's
what you'll do.
Petey said nothing more. He retired
to the bench. In an interval of quiet
that evening he found time TO confide
to the boys the results or the walking
delegates demands.
"Nothtn' doin','' he briefly communi-
Gated. Next we'll try the night city
editor
Petey laid his plans a little more
carefully than for the Delaney effort.

until we get the chairs to sit on. Then
after we've had 'em long enough for
them to forget all about 1t we can break
loose
rhe boys promised and kept their
word, and so surprisingly well that
when Petey got down to the ONCE early
and approached the city editor IN pri-
vate conference on the night set apart
for this purpose he was received with
a friendly smile
What is II, Flynn" asked the city
editor.
Petey laid the bench grievance before
him gravely and respectfully.

Strike in the New Star Office

The night copy boys Of the New Star
newspaper Office had grievance.
They wouldn't have called it a griev-
ance If it hadn't been for Petey Flynn,
whose uncle was out in the bricklayers'
strike and who therefore had heard a
great deal in his home circle on the
subject Of grievances. But they would
have felt it just the same by whatever
name they had called it, for ii was
agreed among them. and, indeed. with
out much exaggeration, that their
bench was the most uncomfortable
bench in the world.
You see, in a newspaper Office there
is the city ROOM" where all the men
who write articles for the paper sit.
Each man has a desk Of his own. Then
over at one side of the room there is
very large desk at which number of
men sit All the men who write ar
ticles for the paper bring UP their ar
ticIes when they have finished them
and give them to the man who sits at
the head Of this big desk and who is
called the night city editor. This man
is just like a teacher, for it is his duty
70 correct all the mistakes in all the
articles that the men have written be-
fore they are published in the paper.
He hasn't time to correct all the mis-
takes himself, so he has a number Of
people TO help him out, all Of whom sit
with him at the big desk. 1t was back
OF this desk in the New Star Office that
Petey Flynn and the other boys had

finished correcting. and which was now

set UP in type.

especially for a small boy who is one
OF five small boys sitting on the same
bench II must be confessed that the
night city editor had a good deal OF
trouble with Petey and his associates
Sometimes there was no one TO answer
the call Of copy" and the busy men
found the bench empty and the boys

wrestling. For these and various other

he consulted all the boys. He held lit

attended to his work, for he sagacious-

like himself even to the buckles on his
shoes He tried TO put il back before
Bertha could see it, but she caught his
arm.
DO let me have it, she said. It's
such a pretty one.''
The Sailors face was very red, and
he looked ashamed, but when she said
1t was pretty he seemed pleased.
Some people do think it's not bad
looking he admitted, handing her the
doll.

that they could get acquainted.

the Palace where the King and Queen
lived. Large numbers of little white
clouds like the one they were in were

Wouldn't you like something to

He pointed to a large Eagle which
was wheeling slowly around above
them in great circles.
He's soaring" Bertha said. We
learned that in school"
Yes, it's a circular soar" the Sailor
said. Can you do it?"
"Oh. no; 1 haven't any wings" Ber-
tina replied.

school," the Sailor grumbled- You're

folded his wings and dropped down
upon the cloud. The green parrot and
the rabbits hastily dived into their
pockets out of sight, so that there was
a great deal of scrambling everywhere.

He said that Canfield kept in the safe of his establishment NeuritieS to the value of $1,000, ,0Oo. as we'll as certain letters which Canfield's manager told him meant social ruin to certain peo- ple.''
 A cablegram was read at the trial written by Canheld in which he said :: '"rhe senator must pay in full"
 Asked If the senator was a United States senator. MT. DelehAnty replied in the affirmative. but here inquiry was shut of owing to opposing counsel
 Describing the proceedings by which District Attorney Jerome undertook to secure evidence against Canflsld, Mir. Delehanty said that Garfield in q let- ter declared that while Jesse Lswisohn refused to answer questions asked by the district attorney "a MT.
