How the Ring Was Lost and Found
BY Alice Irwin, S115 Lathrop Street. Omaha

Blue Side.
There was once a little girl about ?
years old. and she had a pet kitten, named
Tommy. As the little girls mother went
to the kitchen she put a ring on the table.
The cat came in and got on the table and
was playing with the ring. and pushed 1t
off the table to the floor. AS he was play
ing with II on the floor II rolled away into
a hole and the cat could not see 1t any
more. He went out to the barn to sleep
on the hay.
When the mamma came in to get the
ring It was gone. and she asked the little
girl II she knew where the ring was. She
said. u do not know where IT is at all but
maybe the cat Tommy rolled 1t off the
table, as he did my thlmble yesterday.
One day the baby was playing on the
floor and saw something real bright. OF
course, baby went after the brightness,
which proved to be the missing ring. Baby
ran with II to mamma. All decided the
guilty party was the cat and all thought
It wise to be more careful in the future
with anything they valued very much. 1t
was the cat and not the baby that was
mIschievous.
