belt of the gingham encircled the

The chief charm OF another morn

tucks in at the hip line or at the

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

~ USS JUNIOR was a good
climber. and he went up the
trunk Of the tree at a good
rate. The Blackbird's nest was al
most at the top, but Puss was not
discouraged. Draw your sword and
flight for your IifeT' he called out
to little Tom Thumb.
This was exactly what Tom was
doing, for as soon as he found him
self carried OF by the Blackbird he
had drawn his tiny sword. But, oh,
dear me; the birds feathers were
so thick and Toms weapon was so
small that at first the Blackbird
hardly noticed it at all. BY and by,
however, Toms thrUsts began to
tell, and by the time he was drop
ped into the nest the Blackbird had
been stabbed several times.
The nest was empty, and as soon
as Tom stood upon his feet he
swung his sword in the air and
cried out: Away with you, villain
OF a BIackbird." The Blackbird
perched himself on the edge Of the
nest and regarded Tom most curl
ously.
Il do not mean to harm you" he
said. Il am so lonely up here in
my empty house that I want some
one to talk to. That's the reason
carried you of. I'm no robber,
neither am a villain" Tom Thumb
was about TO reply when the head
OF Puss Junior appeared above the
rim OF the nest. The BIackbird flew
off and perched on a limb at a safe
distance.
You had better make your es-
cape" cried Puss, for would have
wrung your cowardly neck had 1
caught you"
Let me explain" replied the
BIackbird. But PUss didn't wait to
listen. but picked up little Tom
Tom" he said Crawl into my
pocket and I will climb down"
Wont you let me eXplain?' cried
the BIackbird a second time.
Explain WHAT" asked Puss Jun
ior, angrily. Il don't see that there
is anything to explain. I'd like to
cut of your head with my trusty
sword"
you mistake my intentions" said
the Blackbird. Il was just telling
Tom Thumb that the reason I car
Tied him off was because l was lone
ly up here in my empty nest and
wanted a Comrade."
YES, that was what he was say
ing" called Tom Thumb from the
inside OF Puss Juniors pocket. But
all the same. I'm glad TO be in your
pocket, dear Puss. Our black friend
here would probably have fed me
on worms had you not rescued me
and I'm not fond Of that sort OF
food"
walt and hear my story" cried
the RIackbird
Not. now said PUSs Come
down 10 the ground II you want TO
tAIk." And then he climbed down
as fast As he could. being careful
not TO spill Tom out OF his pocket
