Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

XIOU remember in the last story
W that Puss Junior on his Good
Gray Horse had reached By
10 Land, on the top of high
mountain, where the clouds hung
low like misty curtains. And when
the voice stopped singing the iul-
laby Puss looked around TO see who
was there. and pretty soon the
Dream Fairy OF By 10 Land stood
before him.
You have come from a long, long
way,
This is the land OF kind, sweet
dreams,
And the misty light OF the soft
moon beams
Through the curtains OF mist that
hang so low
Oh. this is the land OF the soft By
Lo."
But ! don't want 10 go TO sleep"
SAID little Puss Junior with a grin.
In fact. ! have met Wee Willie
Wrinkle in Mother Goose Land, with
his little white candle. You know
he runs from house to house and
peeks through the keyhoIe and
says:
Its S o'clock and time for bed.
So go to sleep. you sleepy head
And then the Dream Fairy smiled.
oh, i know Wee Willie Wrinkle"
she said. But he only puts the
children TO sleep. l send them
pleasant dreams" and then she
faded away in the misty clouds, SO
little Puss Junior turned his Good
Gray Horse around and rode slowly
down the mountain side. and by
and by. after a while. he saw
little Gnome with a red cap and
pointed shoes standing by a big
rock.
"HeIloa, Sir Hittsn." said the lit
lie man. and the Good Gray Horse
shieed, for he was startled. you
know. by the little mans voice.
Don't brighten my Gpod Gray
Steed," said Puss with grin. He
isn't afraid OF giants, but you are
SO small maybe he didn't see you
What are you doing UP on the
BY 10 Land road?" asked the little
Gnome.
oh, just seeking adventure" an
swered Puss. II have just met the
Dream Fairy, and now I am on my
way down the mountain"
Let me tell you something said
the Gnome. and he came up close 10
Good Gray Horse and whispered in
Puss Juniors ear.
You don't say So" exclaimed
Puss. "TIl go and find out" SO he
started OF once more down the
mountain side and by and by he
came TO a pile of rocks. So he
STONED and got of his horse and
went around to the rear Of the
huge pile, and then, all of sud
den, a big black snake erawled out
and said:
Did the little Gnoms OF the
Mountain tell you to come to meT"
He did" answered Puss Junior.
And, oh dear me! For q moment
Puss felt dreadfuily frightened. for
the big black snake had long red
tongue and wicked little eyes, and
Puss didn't know whether he was
friendly OF not, you see. And IN
the next ttory you shall hear what
happened after that.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

gentleman in every sense of the

to like me, and asked IL he
might call. The other evening
he called and / introduced him
to my parents. and we spent a
very pleasant evening. and he
made quite an impression in my
home. He showed every sign
of liking me. and promised to
call me UP the next day to take
me to lunch. He did not, and
now a week has passed and /
have not heard from him. Do
you think that he just came to
see what kind of a home I had.
and not being pleased with II,

As to Public Love-Making

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Will ycu decide a question of
conduct? l am eighteen and in
love with a man two years my
senior. We often go out to-
gether evenings and on Sun
days, and what worries me.
Miss Fairfax. is that this yoEEg
man always tries to put his
arm about me in public. / tell
him il isn't proper, but he says
il love him I need not be
ashamed. We have many dis
putes about this, but have
agreed to let you settle 1t.

ought to convince your lover OF
this, still l hope you won't be too
severe with him. When the girl Is
very charming and the young man
very much in love an occasional
lapse from formal conduct can
easily be understood.
