after the chickens had acquired sui
icient age to run out OF doors In
pleasant weather puss still cared for {
hem, and the chickens roasted with
her at night-as many as could find
.oom. upon her back, and the remain ;
der nestled close to her. Puss did
not fancy the rowing habits of her lit
tie family as they gradually became
acquainted with the outdoor world,
and the broad fields of farmers do
main. and often attempted to gather
her family into the house: selecting
a bed. if she could obtain access to one,
or some other coy locality, but in
this failed. She would bring into the
house one of the family and deposit
in the place selected, but while she
was gone after another, chick would
scamper away, and thus she always
failed in her efforts to secure "tamlly
meeting" in this way. Mother Puss
regarded the wants of her family. and
would bring mice to them, and when
ever any one of them endeavored to
pick out mouse's eyes she manifested
pleasure, and grief when they failed
to appreciate such dainties. 1 h
chickens grew as other chickens do;
but by and by puss became the happy
mother of another family, in nature
more allied to her own, towards which
she turned her motherly affections,
and the chickens became wanderers
in the "wide, wide world" thriving as
other more fortunate chickens do
