where they live forever.
Tom Tabby and his kitty brother,
Binkie, were the first ones to spy
them and claim them for their own.

kitty boys sneaked out. got the po-

sure Of himself" said Mrs. Tabby
when she found 1t out. He viii get
a bad fall some day II he keeps on
disobeying me-"
In the meantime Tom and Binl<ie
were having fine time. They trot-
ted all over Tabbyland and showed
off everything they knew about rid

Poly's house, and there on the porch
sat the puppy boy. His eyes nearly
popped out Of his head as the kitty
boys few past. and he called to his
sister. Roly, to come out a. wish
you could see the Tabby boys" he
called. They have some new horses
and are tearing around all Tabby-

Now, Roly was cleaning off the
table. She had just taken all of the
dishes off and was about to shake
the table cloth. She came to the
door with 1t in her hand, and Just
as the horses came back she shook
II out.
Both cotton horses snorted and
reared. and then bolted- Tom held
bravely on. and Binkie stuck fast,
but they knew that the horses were
running away. Down the road and
out Of sight they galloped, and
Toms heart nearly jumped out of
his mouth at every move. On they
hurried, and up to the Tabby house,
where Mrs Tabby was at the gate.
Tommy gave her a terrified look and
tried to pull in his horse, but II was
no use. and just as they had passed

Very quietly, Mrs. Tabby bri1shed
the dirt away, and washed the lit

Tommy looked about him. He saw
his mother first. and then Poly, but
to his surprise. Poly's eyes were
filed with tears, and his mother

Mrs. Tabby was relieved that he
