Puss i'm Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

Tor a long time Puss and his
companions continued their
journey, and by and by they
came to the edge OF the forest,
where a great desert stretched out
before them as far as the eye could
reach.
The poor blind Prince, although
he could not see the burning sands,
felt the hot wind that blew toward
him. Where are We?' he asked.
"Ou the edge OF a desert, your
highness," replied Puss Junior. TIE
Prince made no reply, but stood for
some time in deep thought Tom
Thumb. who had wandered of b.
himself, suddenly shouted, Il see
three camels! Let US wait. Per-
haps they will carry US across this
sandy sea, for they are the ships Of
the desert" Well. by and by. the
three cRmels stopped, and kneit
down on the sand. So Puss Junior
helped the blind Prince to mount.
for. strange to say, each animal
was saddled after the fashion Of the
desert. Poor little Tom Thumb hal
great trouble in mounting his
beast, for he could hardly see over
it's hoof. to say>nothing Of its grcat
body. Puss lifted him up as high
as he could. and then Tom took
hold of a strap and drew himself
onto the saddle. Then, as soon as
Puss was ready. the camels rose -
their feet and set on across the
desert at a good pace.
''Hurrah! never was on a
camel before" cried Tom Thumb.
Il once rode a beautiful butterfly.
But ] never thought 1 would ride
one Of these ships OF the desert"
Well, by and by they came to a
bubblinE spring and green grass.
And then all OF a sudden to Their
surprise a maiden came toward
them, and when she saw the Prince
she gave q loud cry and ran for
ward. And then the Prince gave q
shout of joy.
"Rapunzel! RapunEel!" he cried.
and the next minute she was folded
in his arms. And RapunZel was 50
happy 1t finding her prince che
cried for very Joy. ana when her
tears touched his blind eyes they
grew clear again, and ne could see
as well az ever. Then he placed
her upon his camel, and inviting
Puss and Tom to 80 with him, led
the way TO his castle, which they
reached that very evening

Morris Holds
Stuyvesant to
Scoreless Tie

The Morris II H;gh Sci ool football team
and the Stuyvesant High School eleven
battled to q scoreless tie in their an
nual contest on the Catholic Protectory
Grounds at Van Nest yesterday after
noon. The Bronx boys sprang the frst
surprise of the local scholastic season
by playing their heavier opponents to
a standstill. The Manhattanites seemed
overconfident, as they had ruled favor
ties because of their previous good
showing this season.
The Morris players went into the
game determined to win, and came
within an ace of crushing Stuyvcsant's
aspirations for the Manhattan Bronx
division champ pionship
Don" Waterbury, the Morris cap
tain and quarterback, ran his team in
splendid style. III addition he was ever
on the alert in intercepting forward
passes, bringing down the man with
the ball and making gains around the
fullback, and Levine, right halfback,
also played a great offensive game for
Morris. Randall. the Stuyvesant cap
tam and quarterback, and Wester, the
fullback, did most of the ground gain
ing Tor their team with the aid Of fine
interference on the part Of Leavitt and
Jeran.
Polling kicked off for Morris at the
start of the game and Leavitt was
downed on his own 90 yard line. The
Manhattanites then started a series of
end runs and line plays. which brought
the ball to their opponents 11-yard
line, where Dickman, the Morris left
end, recovered tumble. This seemed
to discourage the Stuyvesant players,
and they did not again get within
nf
the remainder of the game.
Feinberg then puntcd to midfield
and Stuyvesant was pcnalized fiftee1.
yards Tor holding. Ressner recovered
the bali for Morris on his opponents
25-yard line. He failed at q field
goal.
