Madam Spider said she could never
thank him enough and off he ran to
make new door to his home In the
wall
Some time after this all happened
out of the pantry one day and Puss
saw him.
Around the kitchen she chased him,
and by and by she had him cornered.
| He could not get back to the pantry,
and Puss was very sure Of getting
him. SO she sat quite still and
watched poor trembling Mr.. Mouse
who was sure his end was near.

knew II was time to pay her debt OF

Madam Spider let herself down by

Then she swung herself right into one
of Puss' eyes,
Puss bent her head and brushed
her eyes with one paw. II took only
a wink of time. but II was enough.
Mr. Mouse was saved. for when Pus'
opened her eyes again he was gone.
Madam Spider. too. was safe up in
her home again. feeling very content

That night. when Mr.. Mouse was
thinking over all that had happened
he suddenly remembered the Spider
that saved him.
"Why, do believe 1t must have

"Well, WE'LL You can never tell when
