Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

"OU remember in the last story
how tired little Puss Junior
was when he came to the
trolley line. You see, he'd been
travelling all day along MOther
Goose road, and It was hard on his
feet and his red-topped boots were
nearly worn through, and It WAS
supper time. too, and, and, well, you
know how tired you get just about
supper time.
So he stopped. at the little covered
station house and waited for a car.
And there was a jolly party Of boys
and girls waiting. too. and while
they waited they sang this little
song:
ride on the trolley TO Banbury
Cross,
Our auto Is busted. we can't get
horse;
Ring up the carfare and turn OF the
brake,
For we're in a hurry for fear ven
be late.
And just then along came the
trolley car and every body jumped on
board and away they went, the bell
ringing loudly and the conductor
singing out. Fare, please! Thls>car
for Bsnbury Cross!'
Well, Puss- Junior paid his nickel
or, maybe, 10 cents, / don't remem-
Der which-and by and by when it
Was quite dark they reached Ban
bury Cross and everybody got OF.
so Puss followed the crowd up the
street where the lights were burn
ing brightly and the shop windows
were lighted up to show all the
pretty things for sale.
And then, all OF a sudden, he saw
IN A window q book OF "Puss in
Boots" with the portrait OF his
father on the cover. Yes. il was
just like the book our little hero
had found so long ago up in the
Earret, and il made him think OF
the time when he bad started out
to find his dear father just because
he had seen this little book that
day on the garrett qooT. But oh.
wasn't that long, ago! He had
found his father, Rf even then he
wasn't content TO. tay with him,
but must needs go-sraveling again,
ana here he was. all alone. in New
Mother Goose Land in a strange
city.
me homesick to see that little
book" So he went inside the shop
and bought it, and the little old
man who stood behind the counter
laughed Qua loud and said, BLESS
nv soul! Is this Puss in Bootsw
mot exactly" replied our small
traveller. "You see before you his
son. Puss Junior" At which the
little old man was so delighted
that he invited PuSs 70 spend the
night with him in the little shop,
for he had q nice little room in the
rear with a small white bed and q
stove and a table, and a few things
to make Il very comfortable. So
Puss stayed with him and the next
day started out again. but what
happened after that you must walt
to hear in the next story.
