Since her adventure within the dark box, Boots
had not sought to explore any of the great gray
sheds she found erected whenever the car stopped
rumblng and the drum-drumming began afresh.
There were hafopen places wherein the horses
and dogs lived and through these she sometimes
ventured, keeping bright lookout all the time.
She had become very cautious cat. But the great
er tents, those with sides all battened down by
ropes and held by stakes. she had no keen wish to
enter alone. One day Mademoiselle introduced her

Boots thought it skin at first Catching
Boots up she proceeded down q narrow passage
TO a vast place the dome herd UP by tall poles
and laced with many ropes and nettings. In the
center of this space stood large circular cage,
open all around for a box with a solid door
at one side. Boots doubted this box from the first

proved to be the one that had given Boots name

which they entered was fastened by man who
seemed determined to make them prisoners. Made
moiselle carried long flexible whip and when
Boots heard the cruel swish of this she grew a
trihe more confident.
"Sit up!" ordered the lady, dropping her to the
floor. Thinking this but another lesson in polite
behavior, of a long series, Boots obeyed and
sought TO while away the time by dressing down
her right front boot
But sounded the slow creaking Of a metal
door. 1t had omnous note. Something
about to be released perhaps Boots decided that
the paw could be done at another time and sat
up, alert, ready for swift spring anywhere. She
stared at the slowly opening door of the box-like
