my and Teddy obediently moved back
and stood against the wall Mrs. Tab
by was cooking dinner, and Tom and
Ted were very hungry. They had
been playing all afternoon, and could
not wait for the dinner to be put on
the table.
Best Of all they were to have cream
pie. Both kitty boys loved cream pie,
and Mrs Tabby had cooked with
special eye to pleasing them.

The boys thought that her plan was

Mrs. Tabby. Both kitty boys grlnned
and darted out. They were too hungry
to be late this time.
But far out in the corner of the
Tabby lot was a tall flagpOle. 1t had
not been up for many days, and as YET
no one had climbed it. Tom and Ted
dy had begged Mrs. Tabby to let them
try, but she refused. You may climb
all the trees you wish she said. But
a fagpOle is different. The wood IS
so hard you cannot get a claw hold,
and coming down would skin the soft
pads on your feet"
The two boys stood near the pole
and loked up at the top. Each one
was thinking of what Mrs Tabby had
said. Just then Toby Hicks came
along.
He talked a moment leaning over the
! fence, when the flagpole caught his
eye. Il dare one of you boys to climb
that pole" he said with a twinkle in
his eye. Bet you can't do it"
Now Tom had his mind on the cream
pie, so he only laughed and said, Jaw
, i won't take a dare from a person
who can't do the thing himself" He
