7 DIDN'T quite finish my story
about the little crooked man and
the little crooked house. l was
trying to remember what happened
next. Well, all OF a sudden the
crooked cat jumped out of the win
dow. What's the matter now?"
exclaimed the little crooked man,
and he ran out into the yard, fol-
lowed by Puss Junior and Fairy
Nimble Finger.
OF course, everything was as
crooked as could be in the yard.
The apple tree was twisted and bent
and the little barn was one-sided
and the clothes line had kinks in it.
Even the little robin which the
crooked cat was trying to catch was
crooked, and the eggs in its little
crooked nest weren't round, but a
queer kinky shape.
Come here, kitty" cried the little
crooked man. Don't you hurt my
little crooked birds" The crooked
cat looked very much ashamed OF
herself. There are plenty Of other
birds II you must go a-hunting. but
you let my crooked birds alone" and
the little crooked man looked very
way Of looking when you come to
think of il. isn't II?
Then they went into the little
barn where a little crooked horse
was eating hay. His legs were so
crooked that Puss wondered how
he could trot, but the little crooked
man explained that he was A sin
gle-footer: that is, he only put one
foot on the ground at a time for
fear he'd get all four legs tangled

was determined on that. Moreover
she had decided to leave Miss
Leighton's employ. 1t was plain
that her mistress had not forgotten
Norah's impertinence of a few days
ago. Well, the girl did not care.
There were lots of places these
days for girls! But before she
went, she would get even with

Her month would be up on Fri
