wondering if the bottom of the river
had fallen out. Even the cat, who
was not born until three years after
that Italian speech, recognised the
fact that he was working old stock off
on her, and she clawed and spat
and sent forth a wall of displeasure.

The belt had slipped off the drive

and the cat rolled over and over.
The time and opportunity for make
ing the speech of his life were at
hand, but Mr.. Bowser couldn't
make the old thing go along without
a wabble. He finally got a happy
inspiration. He had been too
anxious, too nervous. He would
simply open his mouth and let the
words pop out and arrange them.

with suppressed laughter and
clinging to the banister to prevent
falling down stairs Mrs. Bowser

heart thrilling smash. Mr.. Bowser
himself got on to it and threw a vase
at the cat and made mighty kick

his weight on the floor. Things
were still rafting and Earring when

She was just in time TO answer the
