" OU remember in the last story
how Puss travelled through
the great Arabian desert on
a camers back, and that the
camel told him not to W, rry about
losing his Magic Boat, for it would
come to him on wings, although
he, had left it by the seashore.'
And just as the camel finished
speaking. an Rirship came down
from the skies, close to the camel,
who said:
Here is your Magic Boat. with
wings. Get in it, little Master,
for It viii take you to other coun-
tries. where you may learn many
things.Y
So Puss jumped into the airship,
and then away it went across the
Mediterranean, over mountains, I'M
til It came to Brittany. which is in
the northwestern part OF France.
And, by and by, the airship came
down on the ground, and Puss
jumped out, and the first person
he saw was a girl. She was kneel-
ing beside a wayside cross. And
after she had said a little prayer,
she stood UP, and then she saw
Puss. So she put out her hand and
took him by the paw and together
they walked along the road until
they came to the quaint cottage
where YvonnS lived, for this was
the little Breton girls name.
Well, Puss had never seen such
a house before. 1t was very long
and divided INFO eight rooms. And
would you believe IL, the animals,
OF the farm lived in six 81 them
and Yyonne, With her mother and
father and sisters and brothers,
lived in the other two?
In the largest room was big
fireplace, and next 70 K, rivetDd to
the wall, WIS q hug bed, uaCe OF
oak, and shut in with Panels. and
II stood SO high from the floor that
IL was necessary to first climb on a
chest OF carved oak at the foo; and
then on to the bed.
And would you believe It, In the
two-shelved cupboard on the other
side of the chimney. Iccune's two
brothers slept. just like two sailor
boys in their berths.
\ But perhaps the strangest thing
Of all was the big dining table, in
which were followed out a dozen
