haustion. She could just manage to sit
down on a stone, but she could not take
another step. Now only she realized how
miserable she was. Where should she
find a lodging? The owl never mentioned
Ia particular tree. Where, before all,
should she get something to eat? How
her poor stomach began to grumble'
Thus thinking of~her misery she began
to cry and wall aloud And her lamenta-
tions we're so loud they were heard way
through the forest, so far that the birds
and the hares lifted their heads to listen,
frightened believing something dreadful
had happened.
So there was walking along Mr.. Fox,
dressed up for hunting, with rifle and
hunting bag. lie stopped before Trips
willa aud said:-"What are you crying
here for in my quarters, frightening the
hares like that and making them run
away for miles aroundW
And although the poor cat could hardly
talk she told him her woe. When she
had finished the fox thought a little
while and then said;-"You are certainly

to make the coffee, take the baby out Of
the cradle, for it awoke by this time,
and play with it. Toward evening the
others woke up, too. and after they drank
their coffee Mr.. and Mrs. Fox started
OF hunting, but not before they gave
Trippstrilla a lot of work to do before
they returned.
Little Trippstrilla had not only to work
until late at night to get through with her
work, but also did she have to take care
Of the children, who were the widest and
naughtiest youngsters she had ever seen.
All this was terribly hard. All the more
so because she was not used to it. She
felt as though she was beaten to pieces,
and longed for rest and sleep. 1t was
midnight when Mr. and Mrs. Fox re-
turned from their hunt heavily laden
with rabbits and hares. Then Tripp-
srilla was allowed to retire to her bed,
which was in corner of the hall. Al
though her bed was as hard as it could be,
Trippstrilla, after she wept herself to
sleep, slept heavily and dreamlessly.
And 20 it was day after day. Little
Trippstrilla got many beatings because
she did not always please in her work.
Even Mr.. Fox, who, in the beginning was
Just as gentle as he could be. became very
severe and when Trippstrilla one day, in
busting, broke the bowl Of his best
tobacco pipe, that came from his great

him. Fee" he cried, for that was Mrs.
Fox's first name, "Fee, come in quicklyw
and when she came he told her every
thing.
We'll, we won't bother any longer with
such a tramp as that she must leave the
house at once" said the energetic Mrs.
Fee, and Mr.. Fox thought her advice was
very clever.
you are right" he said; 1--WE don't need
IA servant any more. Our children are as
good as grown up. The girls will help
you in your household work and the boys
are going to help me in the hunting, and
then the winter will soon be here, when
we will have to economic and an idle
eater would be burden"
Thus Trippstrilla had to leave at once.
But she was not unhappy about it. Yes,
when she was beyond hearing sho began
to Jump and sing from sheer joy. Her
limbs were light and so was her mind.
She felt now that she could earn her
money very nicely. and that made her so
happy.
When she reached the border Of the
wood she sat down on that same stone
where she had been a year ago crying so
pitifully and the fox had met her. There
she reflected what to do next After a
while she sprang up, whirled around, and
clasping her little paws, she cried:-"I
have got it! have got i'll"
She started at once for the farm Of her
former master, and, it being evening, she
reached the COW stable unobserved. Here
she first caught for herself a supper Of fat
little mice, and lying down in the warm
hay she had a delightful nights rest. Next
morning she was up very early and ran
straight to the barn. There she caught
seven mice and crouched down to watch
for more. At last the peasant came into
the barn to prepare the wheat TO be
threshed. Then our little Tippstrilla
sprang forth and laid at his feet one
mouse, then the second and third until
all seven were before him. Then she
made deep hump back and rubbed her
self back and forth against his boots,
singing all the time.
The peasant was like stone, he could
hardly trust his eyesl Was this thin
little cat his Trippstrilla-this busy little
thing his lazy cat that be wanted to

leap the cat was on his shoulder, rub

and locked her up in a dark room.
Trippstrilla was the happiest when she
could go for a walk with the children.
How beautiful it was in the pure air Of
the forest after that dark lodging. She
forgot her misery there for little while,
and played and jumped around merrily
with the children, for now she could do it,,
having become thin again of hunger and
beatings She really felt better so, to tell
the truth, than before with all that fat,
and that was a small consolation for all
she suffered.
She also learned 20 catch mice again.
Mr.. Fox brought his sons living mice with
which to teach them the rudiments Of the
art Of hunting. He made the children
stand in line and then, letting the mice
out. they had to catch them. Little Tripp-
strilla watched them closely at these
times and learned many trick from
them. She thought now she, too, could
do it. So one day when there was again
a lesson in mouse catching little Tripp-
strilla forgot entirely that she did not
belong to the class. and leaped forth and
caught the mouse first. And when she
felt it sprawling between her teeth she
could not resist the delight Of it, but ate
the mouse up. My, how delicious that
was, the first warm meat in a long time.

n certain village there was living once
a peasant who had a wife and four chill
dren. He owned a piece Of land, sta
hles and barns, cows and horses, dogs
and a beautiful white and gold spotted
cat Her name was Trippstrilla
The peasant and his family loved the
cat dearly and the children played with
her an day long. They gave her plenty
to eat and so much meat and cakes thnt
she got fat, and through that very lazy,
so that the idea Of catching mice never
occurred TO her any more Why should
sheg She did not need them. She never
could have caught one, any way; il would
have been so much swifter than the
stout Trippstrlla, who could hardly wad-
die around. She was so fat So she for
got It entirely. When the children had
gone to school she settled down behind
the big stove and went 10 sleep, and
when they returned she let them feed
her and was carried and wheeled about
in the dolls carriage.
In the meantime the house and sta
hles and barns were running over with
mice. The peasant complained that they
cnawed the wood, ate the wheat and fod-
der in the cows crib and even ran over
his feet in the court yard I'm broad day
light, so impudent had the little aascals
become. In vain Trippstrilla was locked
up in the stable over night, for there
the mice were most numerous; the next
morning she was found snoring in the
straw. Once the peasant tiptoed in TO
see what She was doing. and. mind7Sou,
there were two saucy little mice pulling
her whiskers without waking her upl
Now his patience came to an end. lie
took the whip and whipped the cat; that
woke her up, and crying loud she ran
into the kitchen behind the big stove.
At dinner the peasant said to his chill
Tonight the cat shall be killed
I will not have an unuseful eater I'm the
house. The mice almost dance upon my
nose and 1rippsrilla is always sleeping
behind the stove. She would let the
mice gnaw her fur"

squeeze herself through. Mrs. Fox was
n friendly lady and was very glad be
cause Of Trppstrilla's arrival.

she said to her husband, and came pretty
near jumping way up in the air. She
would if the ceiling had not been quite
so low. She had just given a bath to her
youngest baby and Trippstrilla had to
help her Immediately, rocking the child
to sleep and then preparing rooster
which Mr.. Fox had brought home in his
bag. In the oven was roasting a hare
and its odor ticked poor little Trips
trilla's nose and made her even more
hungry. She reioiced at the thought OF
the good meal she would have, and il
doing all sorts Of nice little things she
hoped to gain her mistress favor. She

Urged on in their efforts by the cheer

yesterday demonstrated their prowess
on the track and field. And their
prowess there is not to be despised,
some very creditable records being
made yesterday at the field meet held
under the auspices of the Chinese Ath-
letic Club, at the Boys Field.
The day was an that could be de-

blowing, not enough to hinder the
athletes i'm their runs, but enough to
bring them speedy relief after the eXer-
tions of a long run or difficult track
event The only thing i'm connection
with the weather which could be COM
planned of was the condition Of the
field. Recent rains were still i'm evil
dence underfoot and much inconve-
nience was experienced by spectators
who chose to witness the events from
the field instead of from the grand
stand. with this one exception how
ever there was absolutely nothing
which mared the pleasure Of the day.
Early yesterday afternoon Chinese,
old, middle aged, and young, began to
gather at the field and soon the grand
stand, which was beautifully decorated
with palms and flags, was crowded to
over flowing. There was some delay
in getting the events started but once
set going clerk Of the course, /. S.
