NOR many days Puss Junior trav-
eled in his boat down the
river. One evening he heard
a voice on the shore singing:
Rock-a-by baby, the cradle is green,
Dads a policeman. the finest yet
scent
And mothers a lady and goes to a
ball,
And Johnny's a member OF Tam
many Hall.
And, Of course. this made Puss
Junior laugh, for he didn't know
there was a Tammany Hall in New
Mother Goose Land and neither did
1 until PUss told me.
Well, he pulled his boat up to the
bank and got out. and after that he
listened to hear the song, but there
wasn't a sound. so he thought the
baby must be asleep. Then he tip
toed over to a little cottage nearby
and looked in the window, and
there he saw a pretty little woman
with a baby in her arms. And
when she saw Puss she lifted her
finger very gently to let him know
that her baby was in the land Of
nod. and after that she placed him
gently in the cradle.
Come in,' she whispered to our
little pussy cat traveller, and when
he was in the nice bright kitchen,
for the fire in the stove made
bright streaks OF light over the
clean floor, she said:

Now Puss Junior was tired. too,
and he didn't feel a bit like sitting
down and telling a story. But he
did, just the same, for he was an
obliging little pussy and knew she
was going to invite him to supper,
so, like Little Tommy Tucker, he
must pay for his supper by telling
a story.
"Once upon a time" he began,
there was a famous cat, and the
reason he was so famous was be-
cause he had done a great favor
for his master. You see, his master
