domiciled at Gulfport, with a ship
building plant. at Pascagoula, has in
creased its capital stock from $1,000
600 to $5,OO0,000. This increase has

You remember In the last story that
Puss was at the Castle of the Beast.
Now, the cobbler at the castle noticing
that our little travellers boots were bad
~ worn, offered to make him new pair,
which delighted Puss beyond measure.
1t took nearly a week, however, be-
fore they were finished, for the royal
cobbler was not used to making boots
for cats and he had much difficulty in
fitting them.
At last, however, they were finished,
and the day that Puss tried them on
was indeed a lucky one, for early that
afternoon the merchant returned bring
ing with him his youngest daughter,
and great was the delight Of the poor
Beast.
But, alas! and alack! Beauty, for this
vas the name Of the merchants daugh-
wished to return to her home, and the
poor Beast was forced to grant her wish
on her promise that she would return to
him on a certain day.
Gradually the Beast grew sick at
heart, and finally, when the day ar
rived for Beauty's return and she did
not appear, he became very i'll and lay
as one dead near the rose bushes in
the garden, the favorite spot OF the mer-
chants daughter. Puss did everything
to restore him, but to no avail. and was
about to give up all hope, when the
sound of horses hOofs reached his ear.
Running quickly to the great gates, he
FASTENED to open them, hoping the
while he would find Beauty had re
turned. In his impatience he could
hardly draw the great bolt that fastened
the heavy doors, but finally he sue
coded. and pushing them apart with all
his strength, beheld Beauty on her
snow-white horse, looking so lovely that
Puss said to himself, Surely, such
radiant beauty will bring the poor Beast
back to life"
Am 1 late?" inquired Beauty, dis
mounting and looking at Puss In such
a lovely way that he hardly dared tell
her he feared she was too late.
