Puss in Boots
Jr.
BY David Cory.

NJ ow you remember we left
little Puss Junior in the
last story on top OF a high
mountain. where his Magic
Airship had landed him. And I
hope you haven't forgotten that a
little old man with a long white
beard and a high peaked hat had
suddenly come out from behind
a big stone and boxed to Puss.
I'm afraid my Magic Airship has
left me-" said little Puss. NOW
must depend on my legs. But ! am
where my famous father, Puss in
Boots, is Major Domo."
'Ah. you are right" said the lit
tie old man. But you must not
lose courage I will help you.
Come with me-
So Puss followed the little old
man down the steep mountain path,
and by and by they crossed a little
stream.
wait a minute" said the little
old man. and he leaned over the
bank and called out in a loud voice:
Trout, trout, in your silver stream;
Tell me IL these water clear
Run through Mother Goose Land
Which children hold so dear?
And pretty soon a big speckled
trout pushed his nose up through
the water and said:
Follow this brook DER meadow and
lea,
Till it empties into the River Dee"
'-Oh, / know the River Dee" cried
little Puss Junior. Il once met the
jolly miller, who lived by the River
Dee, but IL was a long time after
he was bitten by the flea"
And then the trout gave a flip to
his tail and swan away, and the lit
tie old man patted Puss on the paw
and said:
Good luck. little Sir Cat. hope
you will soon be in dear Old Mother
Goose Land. have a book o.
Mother Goose Rhymes in my cave
on the mountain top. and every
night I read to a little lame bird
who lives with me and sings her
pretty songs. am an old. old
man. but still like Mother Goose.
Well, after that. Puss said good
by and started down the noun
tain, following the little brook
that splashed and gurgled over the
rocks and falls. until. after a while,
he came to a beautiful meadow
where flowers grew and the grass
hoppers fiddled in the tall grass.
And as Puss was pretty tired after
his long walk, he sat down under
a shady tree to rest. and while
he sat there. an old grasshopper
came up to him and said:
Fiddle dunn. fiddle dee.
I'm the best fiddler you ever
did see."
Then play me a tune" said Puss
Junior with a grin. So the old grass
hopper began to scrape his leg
against the inside OF his wing and
this made a strange kind OF music,
and pretty soon a little robin and
a meadow lark flew by. and when
they heard the strange music. they
sat on a limb to listen. And in the
next story you shall hear what the
meadow lark said to Puss.

him a formidable aspect. He wears

to his knees: while over this is a
long garment like an old-fashioued

called to treat such case. pre-

drove away. The next day he sent
