I remember where we left of
in the last story. Oh, yes; I know.
Fuss was seeking the Flower of
Youth, and he and his Good Gray
Horse had just reached the great
stone cross in the forest.
Well, pretty soon the moon shone
right down into the pool of water
that bubbled up through the grass
close TO the stone cross, and then,
all of sudden, a little fish lifted
his head out of the water. His
scales shone like silver and his eyes
were red as rubiqS.
Listen. Puss Jdnior." he said, 'T
know You arc in search OF the
Flower of Youth. But he who seeks
does not always find" and then the
little fish looked at Puss with his
ruby red eyes, and then ne gave his
tail flicker and sent the water fly
ing in sparkling drops over the
grass.
But Puss kept very quiet. for he
knew that this fish was no ordinary
fish. Perhaps he might be a ma

And then the FISH disappear red,
and Puss looked in vain into the
pool, but the fish had gone some
where out of sight.
Get on my back, little master"
said the Good Gray Horse. Let
US wait no longer. but follow the
instructions of the FISH.
So Puss jumped OH his faithful
stecd's back, who at once trotted
on down the moons path that Law
like a silver strip upon the ground,
and by and by they came to a dead
tree. So Puss rode up close and
pushed his paw into the hollow
opening in one side. ard sure
enough, he found the key, just as
the fish had said.
But what am I to do with IT."
he asked the Good Gray Horse.
And just then a big owl looked out
of the old tree and said:
