But Tommy spoke too late. Mrs. Mousey
indeed was safe in her home inside the
walls-but where was little Trip? A fright
ened NEW, useless scratching of tender lit
tie claws against the hard plaster of the
wall, the noise of little body falling. Poor
little Trip had fallen down between the
walls. This garnet floor was made as
garnet floors often are. The boards
only went as far as the inside
wall, which is made of laths and plaster,
and between that and the outside wooden
wall of the house, there was space of four
or five inches. This was the way to the
mouse's house, and she could run up and
down very comfortably; but not so little
Trip, she was not used to such queer ways,
and there was no place for her to set her
paws so that she could climb up again. And
so Trip fell like soft ball, down, down, to
the ground. What she thought about it will
never be known but up in the attic Tommy
was crying as if his heart would break, and
looking down the deep opening where his
kitten had disappeared.
my darling Trippyv' he cried, edo you
think she's killed, mammal"
"No, indeed, Tommy" said Mrs. Wilson,
taking her little boy in her lap and wiping
| the tears that ran down on his round
cheeks, PUSSY isn't killed; bark, don't you
hear her new? don't believe she will be
any the worse for her tumble; she is little
and soft, and ktties come down on their
four paws, that are like little wadded pin
cushions, so it does not hurt them; and
when Uncle Jerry comes back he will get
pussy out of the wall quite safe and sound.
Now run to the window, Tommy, and
watch for Uncle Jerry, he wentdow to Mr..
Cummings's Office to see what could be done
| about that paper
All this time Trip kept up piteous new
| ing; Mrs. Wilson sat down on the floor by
the place where the kitten had fallen, and
talked to her until Trip seemed somewhat
comforted, and only mewed now and then
| to remind her friend that she was shut up
| in prison for no fault of hers. And at last
Tommy left the window and laid his tear
stained face in his mothers lap. She softly
stroked his curly brown hair, and taking
pity for the little fellows grief, which was
as much as he could bear, and was for the
time much more than her own loss of the
deed Of Western land-for that was only Q
piece of paper, and Tommy's kitten was a

How the Government Pays Bills.

A great part of the work in the De-
partment is necessary in the line of keep
ing accounts, and possesses little interest
TO people who are not exceptionally fond
of figuring. The general principle which
governs the whole system of auditing and
settling~accOunts against the Government
is to provide every safeguard against
fraud, and this Is so successfully accom-
plished that n dollar could not be rot
out of the Treasury illegitimately without
the collision of so many persons that il
may be set down as a practical impossi-
bility. Suppose a man has a bill against
the Government. The head of the De-
partment or Bureau 10 which the matter
properly belongs makes a requisition for
the amount upon the Secretary Of the
Treasury, using a prepared blank
which asks him to cause a warrant for
the amount in question to be issued in
favor of the party, the same to be
charged to the particular appropriation
by Congress out of which the sum
ought to come. But before this requisi-
ton reaches the Secretary it must pass
under the eye of the proper Auditor and
Comptroller and receive their counter
sign, the Auditor at the same time
charging the amount 10 the account of
the disbursing officer in whose favor it
is issued. If all goes we'll so far, the
Secretary issues a warrant 10 the Treas
urer, directing him to pay over the
money, which he does by issuing a draft
for the amount in favor of the Govern
ment's creditor, but not until after the
warrant has been countersigned by the
proper Comptroller and registered by
the Register. Indeed, the draft itself
must 60 to the Register for comparison
and registry before il is finally passed
over. There seems to be Il good deal
of red tape in all this process, but it is a
sort of red tape that saves the country
money in the long run.-Good Com
PGny.
