Her mother turned to her:
"Take that kitten away directly"
she commanded, sternly, land walk
about outside until we come"
At any time Polly would not have
liked to 60 down the long aisle during
service, but now, when she had that
great muff she had begun to hate, the
struggling kitten inside of it, with first
her head and then her tail at its OPP
posite ends, and when all the people
were looking at her, it was dreadful.
But she got up. She could not hold
the ends of the muf quite so well
standing; kitty took advantage Of this
in moment, and was on the floor be-
side her little mistress. Mrs. Batch
ley stopped quietly; but kitty slipped
past her. The next moment Mr.
Blatchley made the same attempt and
succeeded in touching kitty's tail, as
she slipped along to the entrance of the
pew. Polly glided after, hoping to
clutch her tavorite.
But kitty was q sprite sometimes
When she didn't want 30 be caught no.
body could catch her. All ready Tor a
frolic, she cooked her head and watched
the child coming up to her. Polly
moved very cautiously; she was deter
mined to get hold of kilt. The little
creature stood still as ii to let her do it.
Polly bent down, her hand touched the
little furry back; it was all right now.
Was il, thought
In an instant kitty whisked off into
the broad aisle. Then, seeing her rplay-
mate didn't follow, she arched her back,
waved her tail like apume, and in the
drollest way pranced almost up to her
again.
Poor Polly! She tried a second time
to seize this pet who was coaxing to be
played with. Kitty ran farther up the
aisle, looking backin way that showed
it was quite useless to follow Polly's
mother signed to her TO take her seat.
The kitten walked M and down the
aisle examining the different pews, and
sometimes darting into one in a way
that set Polly, who was responsible for
it all, in an agony. Cne lady was sit
ting alone listening Il! entively to the
mini ter. She moved hrr arm and kit

of her shawl, and sprun into her lap.
Polly longed to call Ou "Catch her."
but b3iore the aston sd lady could
move, kitty was OF aga \.
The sexton tiptoed along, hoping to
catch the little intruder, but she frisked
away a good deal f,ster than he could
tptoc, and all the children enjoyed the
fun so mu Ii, TO say nothing OF the
grown people, tnat he soon gave up try

At last the service was over The
child was sure it had Deen three times
as long rs ever before.
Nearly everybody had gone. She
walked softly up to the stairs. Kitty,
wakened by the general movement, was
sitting looking about her. Jus as
Polly stretched out her hand she heard
