By DAVID CORY.

One day as little Puss Junior
proceeded on his journey through
the Country OF the Gods he came
to hill, and on the top stood two
trees-a linden and an oak. And
just back Of them was an humble
cottage, where an old man and
woman lived. And as Puss was
weary with his journey, he knocked
upon the door, and the old man
opened II and invited him in. So
PusS went inside, where the old
woman was busy at her work.
Now, Puss had stopped at many q
palace and castle that day. but mono
had asked him in. They had turned
him away with a surly answer, but
these two old people received him
kindly, and the old woman at once
set to work to get the evening
meal.
And when the old man went out
side to bring in the wood for the
fire an old goose, who waddled In
through the back door, said to Puss,
These old people are very poor and
needy, but they will give you the
best they have" And this set our
little traveller thinking, for all the
rich people whom he had spoken to
that day had turned him away, hun
cry and weary.
And while Puss pondered how TO
reward these two good people, the
old man made the. fire and the old
woman set the table, and then she
cooked the supper. And then Puss
suddenly thought OF his magic little
gold ring which the Fairy Queen
had given him so long ago.
And after supper was over he
walked outside and spoke to the old
goose.
What do you think would best
suit these two good old people?7
And the goose replied: They arc
good and pious. Change their hum
BILE hut into a temple and let them
spend the rest OF their days as the
guardians OF the holy place"
So Puss turned his magic gold
ring around his toe three times and
al once the little black man ap-
peared and inquired what he could
do. 81 would like to have this
humble hut changed into a temple"
replied Puss, and no sooner were
the words out OF his mouth than a
beautiful temple took the. place OF
the humble hut. Great columns re-
