THE DAILY ADVENTURES OF
PUSS IN BOOTS, Jr.
The Cross Sisters Catch Puss.
By DAVID CORY.

THAT is very interesting" said the lit
tie old man as Puss Junior paused, after
telling how Cinderella had driven Off In
the beautiful coach. why didn't you
ask her fairy godmother to give you a
coach and four instead of . saucer o.
milk?''
"I never thought of it." said Puss Jun
Tor with a sigh. "I suppose might have
just as well, although, perhaps, other
peoples godmothers don't give things
away. I guess everybody has got to have
a godmother of his own"
VERY likely" said the little old man;
but go on with your story. There must
be more to tell"
"oh. yes. there's more" said Puss Jun
ior. "But this is the disagreeable part.
You see, then went to sleep curled up
by the fire. Cinderella's godmother told
me to get a good rest, and added that I
had better get out early In the morning
before Cinderella's two big. cross sisters
came down stairs. Well, I didn't" said
Puss with a laugh. 81 oversight and the
first thing knew there were heavy foot
steps coming down the stairs and in
walked the two sisters. I had got my
boots on and so I stood up and politely
said Good morningr But all they did
was to cry Mercy" and catch up a
broom. Before could jump to one side,
they brushed me through the open door,
and I tumbled headfirst down the cellar
steps. Then they banged the door, down
and I was a prisoner in the dark cellar"
Weren't you scared to death?" asked
the little hen
'gNo, but I was madr' said Puss, his
hair standing up on the ridge of his back
and his tail twice the size of a wooden
roller. TT makes me mad today to think
Of IT."
Calm yourself, my good Sir Cat" cried
the little old man. Let US have the
story, for 1T is Of great interest"
So Puss continued: 81 don't remember
how long I remained in that awful, dark
place, but at last l heard the cellar door
open. In the twinkling of an eye, I DASH
ed up the steps and out into the sunlight.
There stood Cinderella. She had none of
her pretty clothes on; only her everyday
working dress. But she picked me up in
her arms and whispered:
'Puss, dear Puss in Boots. I met such
q lovely Prince last night. So dropped
one of my little glass slippers for him to
ind. and / know he'll bring 1t to me. For
this morning, oh, so early. little blue
