He would come close and take what
Benny gave him to eat-but he never
never acted as IL he wanted TO be
friendly with Tommy.
Every time that Benny went out to
feed Bunny, Tommy would follow.
When Benny and Tommy Ieturned
to the house after these visits, Benny
would say to Tommy:
You must try to be friends with
Bunny. Bunny is good chap; with
nc was raised out OF doors and he
doesn't understand our ways"
Tommy would come close to Benny
and show how much he liked Benny
but this did not satisfy Benny.
Benny was very glad to be friends
with Bunny and Tommy. But he
wanted Bunny and Tommy to be
friends with each other. This shows
that Benny was very fine little maj
oh! I had forgotten to tell you tina,
Benny is a boy, Tommy is a cat. and
Bunny a rabbit.
Now you will understand what q
hard job 1t was for Benny to coax
Tommy and Bunny to make up.
After while Bunny acted sc
afraid when he saw Tommy that Ben
ny tried TO make Tommy stay in the
house when he went out to Bunny's
little house to feed Bunny. But Tom
my nearly always managed In some
way to get out. He would sit and

When Benny would tell his mother
how afraid Bunny was, aud how Tom
my ruffled up the hair on his back
when he saw Bunny, she would kiss
her little boy and tell him that II
was because Bunny and Tommy were
jealous-which was not q good thing
for Benny's mother to say; for we
should know nothing at all about be-
ing jealous, any OF us!
Finally Tommy's pussy wife died
and left five little motherless kittens
and how worried Tommy was!
Tommy was about the busiest cat IN
the village, catching mice and frogs
and even little fishes for them. But,
OF course, he did not know very well
how to care for little kittens.
Benny's mamma soon taught the
little ones to eat milk out OF saucer
but still they wanted q mother and
cried for one.
This is where Benny's dream came
into good use. ~
Getting up early after the dream he
took the little basket I'm which the
kittens slept and carried II to Bunny's
house-and will you believe that Bun
ny gladly adopted the kittens? II
| Is true.
While Benny stood watching Bunny
nurse her adopted family. very little
man appeared before Benny and told
him in a thin voice:

have helped them. I sent Trixie to
tell you the dream you had last night.
Then she turned herself into a rabbit

Before me lie seven letters from
unhappy wives, all telling the sane
OLD story OF a lonely home. Each writ
er wants TO know how TO keep her
husband at home evenings, and how
TO win back his affection. Some OF
these husbands are unkind, others arc
merely neglectfuL
or course, the logical reply is:
Make home the most attractive place
on earth. But | fear this does not
help much, since l have used II often,
and still the letters come.
Perhaps some OF those unhappy
wives were SO disheartened that they
went about making home attractive
In a spiritless sort OF way. That won't
do! There must be enthusiastic
wholeheartedness in this work OF rec
iamation
Or perhaps they say to themselves:
How can I do this? have no money,
the children and l have no clothes
ana the house is shabby beyond re
call" And they feebly give up, and
that won't do. TIL echildren's clothes
and theirs can be clean and whole
and one can always wash and patch
the house can be clean, and bright
ened with plant or two, and above
all, with cheerful, loving faces To
greet the Maynard one when he does
come home. These things count.
There are husbands who cannot be
saved through any earthly power. sim

might be expected.
