ships came in, and after he went into one of the large buildings Snowfall jumped up on the seat and looked around. He never before had seen ship, and wondered what they were, moving about as the waves washed against them.
 q believe will find out," said Snow ball, and he jumped out of the wagon and ran up the gangplank.
 'This is just like house." he said. T wonder if there is a cellar?'' He ran down the stairs and found his way to the bottom of the ship.
 "Well, well," he said, ''here is work for me-" for there were rats running all around. Snowfall became SO inter- ested in catching them that he for got all about his master and the team. ''It will take more than one day to clear this place of rats," he said. q must go back to master or he will be gone" He ran to the upper deck, but all he could see was water, and he could not find the plank where he came aboard. 'It must be on the oth- CT side," said Snowfall, running in that direction. But no; all he could see was water, and in the distance he could see buildings. What can have happened?" said Snowfall; this house must be floating away" | Just then he saw large black cat, who saw him at the same time. He looked very angry and bumped his back, but Snowball was not afraid and walked toward him. When the other cat, whose name was Toby, saw that Snowfall was not afraid, he dropped his angry manner and asked. Where did you come from?"
 'T want to know first" answered Snowfall, where I am."
 "You are on ship," answered Toby.
 'So this is ship" said Snowfall; {; where is this ship? When I came here"
 Aboard, you mean," corrected Toby
 "Well, when came aboard there were buildings on one side and my masters team was there, too, and now all can see is water"
 "Of course" said Toby. "We are sailing away now"
 How long shall we sail?" asked Snowfall.
 Three weeks, if we have good weather. If 1t is rough, we will be gone longer"
 Three weeks?" gasped Snowball. q cannot be gone as long as that. must get right off."
 You'll have to swim a long way, said Toby. Come over here and look. ' Snowball looked; there was water everywhere.
 "You may as we'll make the best o1 it," said Toby. "You cannot get back until the ship returns. Come witf me; I will take you over the ship 'eWhat is the matter with this ship?' asked Snowfall after awhile. 'It tips terribly; I cannot walk straight, and feel so queer. Oh," he said as the ship lurched again, my stomach 1: trembling in the most uncomfortable manner"
 Come over here and lie down" sait Toby smiling.
 "Is this what you call sailing?' asked Snowball "I think I am goin, to die" he said as he crawled undel a coil of rope.
 "Oh, you will not die," said Toby.
 T wish I would, if I am to fee like this for three weeks" said Snow ball.
 What are you laughing at?" h' asked
 Don't you know what is the mat ter with you?" asked Toby.
 q only know that I want to die, said poor Snowfall, turning on hi : side.
 "You are seasick," said Toby. "Yo' | will be all right in few days.' 'T1l be dead in a few days" sai' Snowball "Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!" h. ? ? cried, 'I wish this ship would stan' A still for a minute"
 'Tn a few days" said Toby, "yo1
 will be eating flying fish and"
 Don't, don't" said Snowball; '' never want to even think of anythin q to eat again, and rats-Oh-I neve want to see another" s' The fourth day out Snowfall recoy cred and was walking on the deck wit u Toby when the captain saw him. "Where did we pick up this ne, 5 sailor?" he asked. And all in white 6 too" He looked at Snowball's co IS lar. "I know who you are," he sait

Snowfall rubbe u against him in the most friendly mar Y ner and they became fast friends n- What are these queer little birds Q asked Snowfall one day. "They fl ,H ', close to the water" II II Those are not birds," said Toby n they are flying fish," i' "I didn't know that fish could fly,
