"Oh, very" replied the farmers daugh-
ter. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes
were blue. and Puss felt very proud to
think that he had been able to rescue
the maiden. Indeed, he felt quite like A
knight Of the Round Table. He sat up
very straight and held his reins in the
most approved manner. The feather in his
cap trailed out on the breeze and the
red tops of his boots shone brilliantly in
the sun.
'Git-ap. my good steed," he cried.
"Git-ap, my good horse" cried the far
mers daughter, and laughed such mer-
ry laugh that Puss began to purr at a
great rate. It was great fun, he thought.

these children, ranging all the way

standing there, looking at me with
wideopen blue eyes and the most
alluring, inviting "How-dee-do"

Of starting the conversation.

part of the good little devil" and
he smiled at me encouragingly.
"Oh," l ventured, a little bit
abashed, "the leading rolew He
nodded. Because he had on a rath-
er shabby little costume, and be-
cause of his pale cheeks and great,
sympathetic, wistful eyes, l thought
perhaps he had been one of the
man, theatrical children who, like
ourselves, had spent whole seasons
out of work and was hoping against

this production.

You cannot imagine how aston

it took me before I could catch my

OF course, that was many years
ago, but still Mr.. Truck plays the
part of the boy as no one else on
the American stage can portray it.

after all, for the Truck family are
proud of it-there are several little
