sideratiOn that It IS wrong TO steal,
would bring him into competition with
another great American industry And
there IS grievous complaint among the
! -er-importers of sugar. that there
are hardly enough stealIngs even now
to 60 around the legitimate dealers
! Little All Sin therefore must keep his
| thieyish fingers out of our sugar bar
rel
Possibly he might assassinate Pres
! ident But the murederers who have
assassinated American Presidents have
! either been native born Americans or
! have come to these shores from Eu-
rope not China 1t 5 hard to say what
/ great industry or activity Little All Sin
| might engage in should he remain IN
| the land of the free. Very innocent
and very gentle the little fellow locks,
wondering no doubt what it Is all
! about and what crime he has commit
| ted. But with oriental patience he
! makes no protest as the uniformed OF
| ticer holding him firmly by the arm
! there is no telling what he would do
| if he got loose for a couple of minutes
leads him swiftly up the plank. Lit

! bound ship. \ deep breath of relief
runs across the broad bosomed CONT
uent. The country IS safe. Now the
! ship may sail.
| And. little All Sin being well out of
| the way. the detectives may bend their
/ intellectual energies to finding out who

stealing and lying and fighting while
the little Chinese boy j. away. II he
attended to it all himself while he was
in the United States he is a boy wonder
in the annals Of crime.
As we pass them the sun comes out
and gilds the Farallones. They need
gliding. the worst way. And that 5
the way they Get it. Then the clouds
blot out the sunshine again. y little
rain squalI clears the decks. The pas
>engerS scramble for their deck chairs
after the usual manner. Everybody
having their own choice gets the best
place on the ship. Then the next day
all the places are changed. L takes
the passengers about two days to learn
that there are only two sides to the
shjp-in>ide and outside. And that all
out Of doors IS pretty much alike.
And this is the blue Pacific. where
the languorous breezes wander scent
laden from tropical islands to lose them
selves in fainting breaths Of incense
upon the face of the Tranquil waters.
The Pacific Ocean Is part of the
State IF California. For we hadn t got
ont of sight Of land before we learned
that this is the exceptional season.
\ low arch Of low black Clouds thick
as tar. spans the laden sky from rim
to rim. That is. if there is any sky.
From all appearances it is cloud all the
way through. Now and then gust of
wet. moist, damp rain. \ raw wind
with a brinv breath. \ moderately
rough sea, but plenty rough enough.
\ Young lady. determined to brave
all these seeming discomforts sits down
at the ships piano The long suffering
instrument with a hollow preliminary
groan Of its own accord, prepares-not
for the worst. but for the usual. The
Young lady begins to sing My Lone
Rock by the Sea . Recognizing the
words the ship gives lust one standard
rock of is own, by way of illustration
or comparison. and the Young lady rises
and rocks along down the unsteady way
to her bower. amid a chorus Of rocks
that could make the san Gabriel wash
look like tennis court.
Night falls. 1t IS about the only
thing left to fall, most of the pasoen-
gers having already gone. The brave,
the tough. the arrogant. the brine
soaked and the brutal sit at the table
and eat up all the dinners. The good
ship doesn't make a cent on the sea-
sick list Because the passengers who
can eat during unsteady weather eat
five times as much as they do when
