" Puss Junior met in the
w last story, after he shook
hands with Puss, invited him to
come to his castle. So Puss mount
ed his big black horse and fol-
lowed the giant until they came to
his home. And as soon as the
giant opened the gate that led into
the courtyard, a little blue pigeon
settled on his shoulder and sang
this song:
my giant is a kindly man,
And though so strong and big,
He never hurt a little bird,
Nor harmed a tiny pig"
And then the giant began to
laugh, for this was the first time
his little blue pigeon had spoken
in rhyme. And after that he led
Puss Juniors horse to the stable
and then he and Puss went into
the castle.
"Come and sit on my knee and
I'll tell you a story" said the giant,
after he had seated himself in his
big armchair. So Puss jumped up
on his lap and the giant began.
"Once upon aftime an old woman
came through my forest. She had
over her shoulders q red shawl and
on her head a tall pointed hat.
And as she went upon her way she
came across a party Of boys and
girls picking mushrooms.
"Look at the old witch cried
one Of tht boys.

gan to jeer at her. But the old
woman only said: I am tired and
hungry. Give re a few mushrooms
that may sell them in the village.

pick them And then one of the
boys. with rude laugh, threw a
large, black, poisoned mushroom

woman, and she touched the mush-
room with her cgutch, and 81 imme-

morrow in the West Philadelphia High

hood Of Beth Israel five at Traymore
Hail, when, with a minute to go, they
started to pass the ball to one another
in an attempt to freeze" the ball.
This was the logical thing to do under
the circumstances. 1t would keep the
Beth Israel five from getting the ball
thus preventing them from scoring
few necessary points. But, as is often

The Beth Israel fans were getting
ready to leave the hall when Swartz, the
b. b. I, forward, pounced on the man
with the ball and after short scrim-
mage emerged with the ball In his pos
session. After dribbling a few yards he
shot for the basket. His aim was true
and Beth Israel was only one point be-
hind with twenty seconds to go.
Jay Smith got the advantage Of the
tap-off, with Jocko Lawrence and Doc
Newman secured possession Of the ball

taking a look at the basket he sent
the ball on it's way. II was a perfect shot
giving the Beth Israel team a single
point lead.

tlp-off and kept it for the remaining
FIVE seconds OF nlay giving Beth Israel
its first win in its last four games. This
defeat puts the Iancock team further
