roads under public control than all the
reform speeches of the last fifty years.

fboUgbt that somehow they were sweet
ali of the time and that any extra goou
behavior would not get them anything
Tessie Tabby was a great believer in
this. If anything, she was more sus-
nicious and sneaky about holiday time
Than at any other. She always liked
to know what was going TO h9pprn

on in the Tabby family IMAM even her
mother. for she listened at doors, and
peeked around corners, and smelIed in
the kitchen, and always knew when
they were to have pie, or some dainty
for dinner.
She never was surprised at anything.
'I don't know what has come over

Jessie gets too free with her nOsey nose

Both lzitties giggled, and then lay
quiet for Tessie had raised half way
out of bed to listen when she heard
their whispers. Ted was right, and
the next day proved his wisdom.
