Neddie got ready for bed, when they

Well, all of sudden, in the middle

Stubtail "You will keep us all awake
Please keep still"
Perhaps the kittie is lonesome,
said Bsckie. "I'll take it to bed with
me-"
So the little bear girl did, but pretty
soon the lost kittie cried again, louder
than before:
"Meaouw! Meaouw! Meaouw!"
ooh, please don't do that" begged
Mr. Whitewash. rs there no way OF
keeping that kitten quiet?" he asked.
"Ha! Maybe it wants to sleep in a

Neddie, we will make kitten cradle"
So the two little bear children got
up, and on their paws, with a piece OF
string, made nice, soft, sleepy kitten
cradle, and the kitten was put in this,
and 1t was hung up under the mantle
back Of the stove, and there the kittie
soon went to sleep, and slept all night,
not crying "meaouw" once again.
Then Beckie was glad she had learn
