Two or three minutes passed, and

the mouse. and not one OF the three
kitties knew that the other one was
there,
They were so interested in getting
settled at first that they did not
hear one another. but after they
had quoted down to wait, Tessie
made a little noise. The straw tick

and began TO creep slowly toward

still in the hay, for it seemed to

nearer and nearer. the hay rustled,

his green eyes flashed through the

FTER the finding Of the mouse
~ in the kitchen of the Tabby
n house, the kitties went about
for days looking in corners
and jumping at the merest sound, ev-
erything they thought they cav or
heard was a mouse,
They had regular mouse fever, and
there seemed to be nothing in the
world Of Tabbyland so desirable at
that time, as catching a real live
mouse.
Mrs. Tabby had carefully explained
That mice kept as far away from
Cabbyland as they possibly could but
this meant very little to the Tables.
They had seen one mouse in their
own kitchen, and they did not mean
to let another moment pass until they
had caught at least that one.
Of course each one wanted the
mouse. and they hunted separately in
stead of in pairs as they usually play
I'd. They would meet one another in
dark corners, watching knot holes.
and would sneak away. and pretend
that they were just there for the fun
Of the thing.
Now Teddy Tabby was perhaps the
smGrtest kitty boy in Tabbyland Tom
was almost as clever, but he did not
get along as well as Ted since he
thought that he was smart and Ted
did not So Teddy With a plan to
catch the mouse went out of doors by
himself. He was not sure that he
would catch the mouse, he only hoped.
But Tommy went out a few minutes
after, with his head in the air. for he
was very sure that HE would be the
one to catch Miss Mouse. A little later
TeSsie Tabby sneaked out. She too
was going after that mouse.
Teddy went creeping along fences
and in shadows until he came to the
barn. then flashed into it and up
into the hayloft.

In addition to the Joys of good eat

From being neglected, Beach Park
suddenly sprang into favor. Its for
mer evil reputation was forgotten and
was used as a basis for expressing its
new worth. The money came pour
ing in on Humphrey in way to cheer
him for all the patience he had dis
played, and people began telling him
how they always knew he would
make a big success of the enterprise.
All the persons who went to the
park were not drinkers of soft stuff.
Various gentlemen, seeing what
crowds were being attracted to the
park. wished they could induce
Humphrey to let them have the bar
privilege at his newly-made gold
mine. Some approached him on the
proposition, but never again. Then
they did what they considered to be
the next best thing. They opened sa-
looms across the broad highway from
the main entrance to the park. Some
OF those saloons were pretty tough.

of them. Rigging up powerful search

time to buy the feed and keep the

employment of extra labor This
hired help may ruin the flock in

being truly in the spot light. Decent
men didn't like to make exhibitions
of themselves, so they lodged those
saloons. The liquor men threatened
lots OF things to Humphrey, but went
no further than to sue out an injunc-
ton restraining him from using his
battleship searchlights. That was pie
for the popcorn man. The papers
made big stories out of the fight.
Humphrey got more advertising than
he could have bought for thousands
of dollars. And the Injunction was
set aside. Thereupon the search
lights came into play again. The
crowd at Beach Park thought 1t high
