the shelves and partition. He bought
heavy blocks of wood for the feet
and fastened them by screws to the

1t was beautiful morning and Puss
in Boots Junior trotted along the
highway feeling very bright and
cheerful. He had had a good nights
rest at Dame Trots comfortable lit
tie inn, and was now ready for any
thing that might befall him. Every
one seemed to be going to the Fair
that morning, for the road was crowd
ed with wagons and carriages Of all
sorts-farm wagons with their loads
of merry boys and girls, buggics with
old people dressed in old-fashioned
clothes and high carts with gayly
dressed women and men in red coats.
Puss Junior tramped along enjoying
the sights in spite of the dusty road.
He had many companions, too, for
there were as many walking as riding
this beautiful morning.
In the distance he could see the
Fair grounds, with flags flying from
the tall poles, and as he came nearer
he heard the band playing gayly.
SIMPLE SIMON COMES ALONG.

asked a voice at his side.
