THE TIMES BEDTIME STORY

Once a week Mrs. Tabby used to
buy candy for III kitties. She got
it down at the shop kept by the
long-haircd old spaniel. and she
brought it home and hid it far back
in the pantry until Saturday night.
Then the kitty children who had
beer good all w-el; were given some
and the ones VINO had been naughty
were not given any at all.
Some weeks all Of the kites would
get candy, for Mrs. Tabbv was very
easy on them. hut at other times
only the girls had been good enough
TO receive their share.
Binkie Tabby usually got his
candy, and he loved it more than all
oC the other kitti,s put toGct her.
Tom used to say that he was just
good 50 that he could get the candy,
and not be"auSr he wanted to make
things easy for AIRS. Tabby.
