Come over here" she said, and she
washed Puss Juniors face with her little
lace pocket handkerchief, which she
dipped in a rail of water. And after
that she busted or HIS hat and coat ana
then she said:
Come, let MS hasten away" and she
ran out OF the log house aud down the
forest path And after a while she and
Puss came 20 the edge OF the wood where
deep river flowed down to the big, blue
ocean.
Let MS find a boat said the Princess.
For near the sea is my fathers castle -
SO she and Puss hunted along the bank
until. all Of a sudden, P-uss discovered a
boat. Wasn't that lucky: And when he
had pushed it into the water the lovely
Princess jumped In and Puss picked up
the oars and rOwed of down the river.
And the merry breezes blew the golden
hair OF the Princess this way and thar
way until she was forced to tie 81 up
with n piece Of rope. for the silk ribbon
had fallen into the water and they did
not dare stop 10 get 81 for fear the rob
bers might catch them,
Well. on and on they went. swiftly
down the big river and by ana by the
sun went down and the stars came out.
and Puss got so tired that he had to rest
while the Princess steered the boat with
one oar. And I'm the next story you shall
hear what happened the next morning,
for pretty soon both the Princess and
Puss fell fast asleep.-copyrigh 1890

A little sob Of uneasiness caught in
my throat, and then suddenly a laugh
chased it away. For as plainly as If he
had written it there / could read this
message between the lines of Jim s
note:
Now worry about me awhile. It's
your turn, and I'm going to let you
have your full share"
Whereupon n low chuckle sounded in
answer to my laugh. SO Jim was home
after all. Calmly, though my heart was
beating a rat-a-tat l slipped out of my
coat, and, keeping my eyes resolutely
from the door to my bedroom, where |
was sure the laugh had come l sank idly
down on the couch and pumped up a
pillow to fit into the hollow OF my back.
Then with keen enjoyment OF my own
power to be a complete spon-sport, l
rolled my command on my tongue;
Come out heard you!"
We'll. you take it calmly enough"
1t wasn't Jims voice that answered me
With terror tightening my throat
looked up to face the intruder. The half
open door leading to my bedroom stirred
family and then flung wide.
Over the Threshold stepped Tom Ma

I'm glad you heard my little rhyme.

other countries Estimating that we
should consider the ether countries only
so far as they are Of material benefit
to us.
she made the customary Republican
assertion that the League OF Nations
viii be an incentive to war rather than "a
prevention.
Among the Issues FOR which Mrs Eos
seen gave exclusive credit 70 the He
publican party were prohibition, child
labor. woman suffrage and minimum
wage law for women.
She said the sugar shortage came be
cause Wilson was too busy in Europe

She informed her audience they should
vote the straight Republican ticket
You won't make any mistake" she
declared. adding few words OF praise
for Senators Watson and New.
Prohteering WAS laid at the door OF
the Democratic administration, without
