THE DAILY ADVENTURES OF
PUSS In BOOTS, JR.
By DAVID CORY.
A Lesson in waddIinE.


Puss Junior was very tired with his
Journey, so after a bit he cuddled up
in the long grass close to old Dame
Ducks nest and soon he was fast asleep.
Old Dame Duck tucked in her yellow
ducklings and they were soon dreaming
away Of nice fat worms and little silver
fishes. Dame Duck closed her eyes, first
one and then the other, and soon she, too,
was nodding in a drowsy fashion.
The wind played little lullabys through
the tall grass and the brook close by
murmured over its pebbly bottom. The
crickets In the grass made sleepy little
noises, so that 1t must have been over
an hour before anybody woke up.
"'Tis close" said Dame Duck. showing
The eggs with her bill.
Besides, It never suits young ducks

So. rising from her nest. she said,

Stop your quacking," cried Dame
Duck. Did you hear what I said about
waddling just now?'
Yes" said the little ones, and then she
went on to explain:
"A well bred duck turns in his toes
As I do-try again."
Puss Junior turned in his toes exactly
the way they did, which made them
laugh; even Dame Duck chuckled. Look
out" she cried. ''or Puss Junior will dc
1t better than you will"
Thank you, ma'am," said Puss with
a grin.
Won't you try to do better?" said
with an anxious expression on her kind
face.
YES" said the Ducklings, waddling on.
That's better" said their mother;

 There is a story going around that one man caught so many fish that he had to unload his fertilizer to haul them home. The story goes that he came back the next day for his fertilizer, and the large haul was so strong on his mind that he thought he would try his luck again This he did, and met with the same luck, but would not trua himself to come back for his load and the third time, as he was afraid he would miss a crop.
