A Shoe Story
BY FLORENCE E. YODER.

! TTOTTIE TABBY was the smallest
and neatest of Mrs. Tabby's kitty
children. She had always been
very proud Of it, but as she sat on the
| edge Of her bed one morning and looked
at her tiny. furry feet, she was very
sorry.
How small they looked, The little
! pads on her toes were tender, too, and
she could not walk over the rough
stones and roads the way Fannie Hicks
could Fannie Hicks being a puppy
! girl had bigger feet by far than Tottie.
They were hard on the bottoms, too,
and always left a big, firm mark in the
road where she stepped One Sunday
fannie Hicks wore shoes, but all the
rest Of the week she went barefoOted-
Tottie took her shoes in her hand and
went downstairs TO her mother The
floors were soft and cool, and IL seemed
very delightful not to have on those
horrid shoes She put them down by
the door Her mother had not noticed
/ that she was without them
Mother" Zottie spoke quickly, 4 am
going with Fannie Hicks as she goes
for eggs I will be back SOON Mrs.
Tabby looked around just as Tottie was
going out the door But how about
your feet2" she asked. and TOttie halt
ed 4 don't need my shoes" she said,
firmly. We will not walk far, and l.
I just don't need them"
Mrs Tabby had argued this question
with. Tottie so many times before. but
this time she said. All right to Tot
ties surprise. The kitty girl ran
lightly down the path and out Of the
gate. How good IL did feel to have
those shoes off She ran all the way TO
Fannie's house and met her coming out
OF the gate
Fannie's big feet looked huge beside
her tiny fluffy paws. but she trotted
along very happy indeed The road
gets rough and all cut up after
while" Fannie said suddenly. after they
had gone a few steps Don't you think
that you had better go back home and
get your shOes2' TSttie shook her
head NO, / won't-sO there" She
stamped her foot to make IL emphatic.
They went on without one more word
OF shoes"
The rest Of the journey Tottie made
with more and more difficulty for after
the very first mile her feet were sore,
and by the time they had reached the
woods taken the eggs and started
home again. they were bleeding
Fannie made no mention OF the shoes
and at last Tottie spoke i can't go
