per it stayed in the room to see that no oth.is
annoyed him. The King was in one OF ms
bad tempers, and when one of his servants, III
filling his glass, split tiny drop OF "i ,s
upon the CLOTH he began to storm and scoiu,
till the poor fellow shook in his shoes anu
then stopped suddenly.
Somebody was laughing somebody was act-
ually daring to laugh. His Majesty cast angry
glances round the room at his courtiers and
servants; at the Queen, sitting opposite, and
little Prince William and Princess Maria on
either side of him; but nobody was even
smiling.
Then, glancing behind his chair, the Sang
beheld the big black-andwhite cat standing
there on its hind legs holding its sides, and
laughing heartily. He was just about to
order it to be taken from the room and beat
EN- for its impudence. when it began to speak
"Oh, dear" it gasped "You have amused
me so. You are funny fellow. How absurd
to make all that fuss about a spot on the
cloth. What joke. And what good
thing you gave permission to laugh when
ever i like"
And it went on laughing more than ever.
As for the King, he finished his supper al
most in silence, and did not grumble again
about single sthing And all the time he
felt wretchedly uncomfortable. for he believed
that all the courtiers and servants were laugh
ing also Gin their sleeves; while Prince VII
ham and Princess Maria choked suddenly,

ana at the same time over their pudding, in
n very suspicious way.
a few days later His Majesty was going to
open Parliament, dressed in his finest robes
lie was prouder even than usual upon these
occasions; held his head SO high that it really
seemed as though he must overbalance back
wards
The cat happened to be in the great hall
as ne passed through it on his way to the
carnage, with a dead mouse-the fifty-second
1t had caught that day--in its mouth. But
when it saw the King it dropped the mouse
and began to laugh, and the King halted SO
suddenly that the courtiers following him fell
against each other.
On, dear. gasped the cat you'll really
be the death of me. You can't think how
funny you look with your nose tilted up like
that. Is it because you are wearing your
best cloak that you walk in that way? Oh.
dear, oh, dear. How very, very funny"
The King frowned but did not say a word;
ana an the next moment he walked on again.
but ne no longer held his head SO high or
thted his nose in the air, and the cat stopped
laughing and ate the mouse it had killed.

CHAPTER III.
HOW THE KING WAS CURED

And every day the cat went on catching
mice and laughing at the King; and every
day the mice became less troublesome and
the King better tempered; for at last he be-
gan to see the Stiffness of his ways.
Then at last, one day when he forgot again
las we are all apt to forget when we are try
ing to cure ourselves of faults-and tossed his
head so proudly that his crown fell off, and
the cat went off into one of it's fits of laugh
ter, the King-to the surprise of everyone
began to laugh as we'll
Then the Queen Joined in, and Prince Will
liam, and Princess Maria, and then the cour-
tiers-you never heard such noise as they
made. And when they had all stopped at
last and the crown had been placed upon the
Kings head again, the cat came before him,
and bowed humbly
IF you please, your Majesty" it said, II
have caught all the mice. There is not a
single one left in the palace. And now your
Majesty has become go sensible, there's next
to nothing left for me to laugh at, SO / must
be going"
The King smiled, and patted the cats head.
"Thank YOU" he said "Thank you a
thousand times. You are noble creature,
and have done your duty admirably"
And every one knew that he alluded to the
curing of his faults as much as to the catch
ing Of mice, and everybody gave three cheers
for the cat and three cheers for the King.

of them"
"Nonsensep' said the King. sharply, all his
bad temper aroused. eff you want more than
that you can go somewhere else, and"
AT that moment a mouse ran over his foot,
and the grin upon the cats face broadened::
Every well, then" said the King. testify.
"To be rid of these plaques don't care what

relieved tones. "Why, of course, you can
have that! You can go anywhere-the mice
are everywhere"

strong sense of humor, and desire the liberty

And the cat dropped on all tours and ran
away, obediently.

LYNX HUNTING

whip in his hand was a mere accident, and
that he was kind old man-when he cared.
When he had come near he spoke crisply.
What you boys be doin to my cow?" The
tone had deep threat in it. They all answered
by saying that none of them had shot the COW.
Their denials were fearful and clamorous, and
they crawled knee by knee. The vision of it
was like three martyrs being dragged towards
the stake Old Fleming stood there, grim,
tight-lipped After time he said (Which
boy done it?"
There was some confusion, and then Jimmie
spake. Il done it, mister"
Fleming looked at him. Then he asked,
"Wel, what did you shoot 'er fery"
Jimmie thought, hesitated, decided, faltered
and then formulated this: 81 thought she
was a lynx"
Old Fleming and his Swede at once lay down
in the grass and laughed themselves helpless
