Started Off. lay =
each day he was fed at about the
same time He knew that when he
cried he got something extra to eat
or drink.
He knew where he could chase mice,
warm sunshine. and he knew that if it
was raining there wasn't any sunshine
at all.
He also knew that on the cold days
it was delightful back of the kitchen
stove, and that on the hot days it was
very nice under a shady tree in the
garden.
But he didn't know that Saturday
was holiday and that Sunday every
one went to church, except cats and
dogs and very young children. Very
young children went sometimes but
cats and dogs never went.
He didn't care about doing anything
on this particular day but exploring.
And it was very early in the morning
when the family were all asleep.
He walked around and he ran
around and he looked in all directions.
81 think will go this way" he said.
So he walked on and when he came
to church he was hot and tired. ut
looks cool in there" he said; Eyes, it
looks nice and cool meow. think
will go inside"
So he wandered up the church aisle
and he saw nice place where he
thought he would go to sleep. And
where do you think, or rather, what
do you think was the place Blackie
chose for his nap?
AS don't think you will be able to
guess right away and as I want to
tell you what really happened, will
tell you the place Blackie chose for
his nap.
It was in the organ. Well. he had
q fine sleep. And he was still asleep
when the organist came in and began
to play.
Then, poor Blackie woke up with a
start At first he didn't know wheth-
or he was having q nightmare or a
bad dream, or what was happening.
He moved to one side and the organ
gave a curious rumble and very fun
ny sound and the organist looked as
IL he didn't know what the trouble
could be. and the people stopped sing
ing and then tried to go on singing
without any music.
The organist tried to play again
and this awfully queer rumble and
burr and buzz was heard once more.
So the people went on finishing their
singing without any organ.
OF course Blackie tried to move
when he felt the pedals moving and
he jumped over the inside stops and
pedals and made these very strange
sounds as he did so.
The organist looked inside the or
gan and saw nothing. Then, sudden
ly, he saw two big green eyes staring
at him.
ITS cat in there" he said to him
self.
Poor Blackie was very much fright
ened. This was altogether too much
He liked adventures and he liked to
explore but this was going too far.

ganist to himself, and Blackie's green
