they pushed each other about until
their mother, hearing the racket, came
in and settled the dispute by saying
they both should sit by the hole, and
the one who caught the mouse would
have the prize.

came out of his hole, because they had
made so much noise. but at last he did

and that the mouse belonged to him.
Tim Kitten said it was his. and he
began to push Tiger, and the first
thing they knew they had forgotten
all about the mouse which had es-
capped and was running for its hole.
Tim and Tiger tumbled and clawed
at each other in terrible way, quar-
reling all the time. each saying the
mouse was his, when Topsy, who was
passing the barn, heard the noise and
went in to see what was going on.
Just as she entered the door the
mouse was running for its hole, and,
quick as wink, Topsy pounced upon
it and carried 1t off to her mother.
That afternoon when Mrs. Puss sat
out in the sun with her three children
Topsy wore the red ribbon. while her
brothers looked at her with envy and
anger.

HOW TOPSY WON

TIGER and Tim We're two kittens,
i and while their mother, Mrs.
'uss, tried to bring them up as we'll
hammered kittens should be brought
up, those two naughty kits quarreled
all the time.
Topsy Kitten, their sister, was a nice
quiet little puss, and Mrs. Puss was
very proud of this one well-behaved
child, you may be sure, and that was
one reason her brothers never missed
chance to plague their sister because
she was always held up to them as a
model.
But the one thing they never for
gave was what took place in the barn
one day, though it was not at all
Topsy's fault but their own.
Mrs. Puss had offered prize to the
one who should catch the first mouse.
It was to be a red ribbon for their
neck and each one, of course, want
ed it.
'Oh, we will get the prize" said
Tim to Tiger. '"Topsy is SO nice she
