Puss had made a great discovery in the
garrst. II seems strange that he should
have found something more important
than a rat or mouse, but he had. From
the moment he had seen the picture book
he was a changed cat!
Yes" he said, holding it a little to
one side, so that the light from the small
attic window would show the picture
more distinctly. this is certainly a por-
trait Of my father"
It was the story OF "Puss in Boots" +"
and on the cover was a beautiful picture
of cat wearing a magnificent pair of
boots with shiny red tops. Puss sat down
read the more excited he became. When
he had finished he jumped up and, proud
ly looking at the portrait of his hand
some father. he exclaimed with flashing
eyes: From today I shall call myself
'Puss in Boots. jr.'; l shall go forth in
search of adventure, just as my father
did, and I shall not rest until 1 have
found him"
He looked around to see II he could
find pair of boots like those in the pic
turc.
To his delight he saw in a corner the
very pair ne wanted, and they had red
tops, too.
on a peg near by hung a cap, dusty,
but not a bit shabby or worn. Placing
It on his head, he hunted around until
he found an old cane with a bent handle.
There's a cane in the picture-I suppose
they called it a stan in those days-at
any rate, I'm now complete; I'm a real

"Hurray!" he cried, as he reached the
front door.
Down the steps he skipped, two at a
time. The road was dusty. but he went
along sayly, the sun shining on the
him very proud indeed.
He hadn't gone very far when he heard
a funny little squeak, and. looking to
the side of the road, he saw a small
pig stuck between two boards in the
fence. Squeak, squeak! Oh. help me
out" cried Piggie.
Puss in Boots, Jr, with the help of
his cane. pried the boards apart so that
the little pig could just squeeze himself
through. Squeak. squeak! Oh, thank
you"' cried the little fellow; II wish
could do something to repay you"
You can" replied Puss, jr., who had
by this time grown very hungry. II
would like something to eat"
Come with me-" said Piggie Mother
always gets some milk from the dairy
maid about this time. Come" and he
took Puss, jr, by the front paw and
started to run across the field.
Hold On-I mean, let GO" cried Puss
in Boots. ir. how do you know your
mother will want visitors for lunch?"
She'll be only too delighted, espe-
cially when she knows how you pulled
me out of the fence. You're not bash
full are you?"
Moo" replied Puss. jr.. but YOU
see I've never lunched with pigs before"'
"Oh, don't let that worry you" replied
his little friend. Come along" And
