old retainer" So saying she led the
way into the castle. followed by Puss
Junior and the little Owl.

tone, talking half to himself. Why.
is he not in the employ of my Lord
of Carabas?"
Yes. indeedw cried the Queen.
Now l remember. My dear Puss in

journey before you; but to the brave
all things are possible. Although he
lives far beyond the border line of

NO. indeed, your Highness." replied
Puss, Junior, "I have good heart
and strong legs. 'Tis but a question
of time before 1 see him, for danger I
fear not. neither stony roads nor
stormy seas"
"Bravely said" cried the Queen,
but who is your little friend?" she
who had perched himself on the
shoulder of Puss Junior.
He is the owner of the beautiful
pea green boat" replied Puss, "and to
him l owe much: for had he not come
to my rescue when the Giant of the
Beanstalk pursued me. I should have
been captured. His boat was on the
shore and we sailed away just in
time"
Most exciting" said the Queen,
'and so that is how you landed on

Yes. your Highness." said Puss

The Daily Adventures Of
PUSS IN BOOTS, Jr.
Puss Learns Where His Father Is and
Receives a Tart From the Queen.
By DAVID CORY.

The Knave of Hearts was a pretty
good runner and Puss Junior found II
no easy task to catch him. Finally. how
ever. he did, and after some difficulty
brought him back to the castle. AS they
entered the postern gate:
THE King of Hearts
Called for those tarts,
And beat the Knave full sore"
"'m 'ad l didn't take a tart" said
PuS. in a whisper to his little friend
the Owl. while the three jolly Welsh
men" looked much relieved to think
that they had not touched one either.
At this point, the Queen came gra-
ciously forward and offered them all
a tart apiece.
How do you like it?" she asked
Puss, smiling in a kind way. You
deserve much more than a tart for hav-
ing caught that naughty Knave. What
can l do TO reward you?"
Puss carefully wiped his whiskers with
his pocket handkerchief before replying
Your Majesty" he answered. Il am
in search Of my illustrious father, Puss
in Bo9ts. Could you but direct me to
him I shall consider you have more
than repaid me for my trouble"

power for evil that is held to overcome
much of the kindly influence OF the
friendly planets.
During the remainder Of this month

inforced in all cities, especially those of
the eastern seaboard.
All the signs appear to foreshadow in

Under this planetary government It is
wise to solicit favors, whether financial
or political. but Uranus may cause dis

assured.
Travel is under an evil guidance for
persons born between January 90 and
February Is.
1t is not lucky day for contracts

years and had teen sent 10 the home

Memories OF the worlds colors,

YESTERDAY I told you Of my
visit TO the blind and today

:
visit TO the blind and today
these are the true stories of
the children told me by the loving
sister in charge of them.
Little Catherine was merry
faced little girl, and within her great,
vacant eyes there were no depths OF
anguished unhappiness. She seemed
quite satisfied with the little patch
OF sunlight they called the garden,
but when l asked her: What would
you like to have above everything
else?" instead of replying pep
permint candy" bologna sausage"
or "a phonograph," it was, "Id like
to have a mother"
"A mother! Poor little girl" the
sister whispered in my ear. This
was the baby that was found on the
street, deserted by her mother. She
was sweet. plump little baby Of
six months old, but, unhappily, born
blind. A mother was seen carrying
the baby and looking for a place to
leave it. Two hours later she had
gone-no ore knows where-and
when the baby was found they
brought her here and she has been
with us ever since"
Two little children, not over three
years old, came stumbling in, reach
ing out their hands for Lucinda, the
blind colored girl of seventeen,
whose duties were to guard the lit
tie children.
1t seems that Lucinda, too, had
been found, little, tiny, deserted
blind baby. So light was she in
color at that time that they had
thought she was white, but as she
grew older, she turned darker and
darker, until they had nicknamed her
Little Chocolate Drop" Lucinda
loves to hear this story and laughs
over it as heartily as any of the
other children.
They calls me Chocolate Drop"
she informed me, "and l likes to
hear it. 1t makes lot of fun for the
children, it does"
So many played the piano beauti-
fully and several had voices sweet
and clear as Christmas bells. Sew

pert stenographers and all enjoy
