down to get her from under the couen,
she fled under the BOOKCASE ana Iroln

Helen followed her around in vaif
attempt TO catch her, while Warre1
looked on scoffingly-
Looks like she knows you, doesn't
it,
wait. I'll have Lizzie come catch
her. suggested Mrs. stevens She
likes her better than any Of us"
The Escape.
Because Lizzie feeds her" was War
ren's cynical comment. cats haven't
any affection except through their
Helen was still trying to persuade
the kitten to ccnne to her, when Lizzie
entered in response to Mrs SteTens's
bell
Now put her in here" ordered War
rem, as Lizzie drew the protesting kit
ten from under the couch. She placed
her in the box and Warren put on the
lid Mrs Stevens had brought out a
ball Of string and they wound it around
and around.
Poor little thing. she's 50 fright
ened." murmured Helen pityingly, as
plaintive meow" came from the box.
sOh, lookt' a pink nose now appeared
at the tiny hole they had cut for air.
She'll be all right" declared War
ren indifferently. GO get your things
on"
Mrs Stevens went with Helen to get
her wraps. When they came back
Warren and Mr.. Stevens were talking
about their having dinner downtown
next Thursday.
A sudden scratching sound from the
direction of the bandbox. They turned
quickly to see Pussy Purrmew's head
thrust through the lid For a second
she gazed at them wild eyed, then as
they started toward her, wriggled her
body through and dashed past them
out of the room
