that 1t was his pocketbook He thanked
the boy and told him that he would be

and went downstairs. and when he opened
the door he found lot OF the toys he
was looking at the night before. Can you

(Second Prize.

BY Martha Johnson, Fremont, Neb. Aged

Once my sister and l had a little canary
bird. One day our mother went away
and left us to get supper. AS we we're
getting supper my little brother heard a
cat mewing. He went to the door and
said: Look at the little kitty" l said:
Don't let 1t in because we have the bird
out in the dining ROOM He said: well,
do you want the little thing to freezer"
He took the cat in the other roum and
he went outdoors to pay with his friends.
Soon 1 heard noise. / thought it was
something cracking in the furnace, and
I went to see. The cat had the bird and
we could not catch the cat. After awhile
we heard a peep. We said that sounds
like the little bird. We thought the cat
had eaten it. Next day mamma was
sweeping the floor and we found under
the stove our little bird. Then we thought
it must have been the bird we heard. The
cat must have been scared and dropped
the bird. How the cat got the bird was
this way: We put 1t in the sun 10 take
its bath. The cat sprarg up and tipped
the cage over and the bottom came off
CMal the cat grabbed the bird.
