One morning In the early spring frankie
and May, found a wee grey kitten in the
road as they were on their way to school.
frankie took the poor mewing little waif
in his arms and stroked its silky fur,
saying: Nov, little Miss Puss, what
shall we do with you? 1t is almost
school time and we cannot return home
with you, for in that case we should be
late to school, and that would never do.
And 1t is out of the question to take you
to school, for Teacher would not permit
you in the room 1t would make the pu-
pills laugh, you know. So, what are we
to DO with you? We certainly aren't going
to leave you in the road to die or be run
over by some wagon"
The little kitten listened to Frankie's
reasoning and seemed to understand that
he did not know how to solve the problem
of disposng of it; but ALI 1t said in its
own forlorn behalf was, "Mew, new,
m-e-wg But the manner of its saying
'mew'' was quite enough to touch the
heart of anyone; and Frankie's and Mays
hearts were very easily touched, too. So
frankie said to his sister:
"S'pose we drop by old Miss Clarks
house and ask her to keep this little tramp
till we come along from school in the
afternoon"
"a good idea," acquiesced May. "And
you'd better let me carry the little dear,
for girls know SO much more about kittens
and babies and dolls than boys do"
Frankie reluctantly delivered Miss Puss
into the arms of his sister, and they
FASTENED on their way, soon dropping out
of the big road into lane which led to
the home of a quaint old maiden lady by
the name of Miss Clark. The old lady
was on the porch of her pretty farm house
when the children came up, and it was
not long till the kitten had changed
hands, Miss Clark kindly agreeing to
keep 1t and feed 1t during the day.
That evening when frankie and May
stopped at Miss Clark's for their new pos
session-the stray kitten-they found it
sound asleep on a mat In the sun, so
full of good rich milk that 1t could hardly
move itself. "It's a fine cat" declared
Miss Clark. smiling on the little grey ball
as it slept. "It's been bit gluttonous,
I'll admit, but circumstances almost forced
that You see, kitten so small as this
one must have something to eat very
often, and evidently 1t has been without
food during the whole night, and in that

and general appearance that it will earn

Frankie and May were pleased to hear
Miss Clark speak in such praise Of their
new-found pet, and after thanking her
sincerely for her great kindness to them
and their kitten they hurried home
"oh, my dears, what did you bring that
kitten here for2" asked their mother on

BY WILLIAM WALLACE, JR.

A great many years ago when the
states lying west of the Mississippi River
were still in a very wild, n uncivilized
state, there were many venturesome men
who took their families Into the new
country to find homes. They remained
as close to the outer line OF civilization
as was possible, but that did not make
them secure from danger, for to the
westward were rowing Indian tribes that
occasionally went on the war-path. raid
ing the frontier settlements and often
massacring the entire population, even
to the children and infants.
Among the early settlers Of Central
Kansas there was a family by the name
of Green. Their only child, little boy
of ten, was named Samuel-Sammy for
short. Their home was rude log cabin
on the bank of very pretty and weil-
wooded river, and much of the time was
spent by Sammy and his mother fishing
Their table was supplied by game and
f1sh, the only meat the settlers had ex-
cept for an occasional side of bacon
brought from the trading post" Ia small
town Of few dozen houses situated on
the old Santa Fe traiD.
And so the summer days passed, Sammy
and his mother fishing, working the gar
