II will help yop," said little Puss
Junior, and then the two set out on their
Journey and by and by they came to
the land Of the Evening Star, which Is
the beautiful West you know, where the
sun goes to sleep on his purple and yell
low pillows.
Well, for many days they Travelled on
and on, but still they were unable TO find
the place where the golden apples grew.
You see, Just as they thought they we're
close to the country Of the Evening Star
the big golden sun would go to bed on
his purple couch and then night would
come, and Of course 1t would then be
too late to 90 further, and so Mr.. Her
cules and Puss would be forced to lie
down and sleep until the next morning

quickly said Mr.. Hercules, SO he looked
about him, and not very far of, on a
mountain top, he saw his friend Atlas,
who holds up the blue heavens on his
shoulders, you know.

cules to Puss, and then he went up that
mountain in less time than / can tell 1t
to you, and told his friend Atlas what he
wanted. Now, MFR. Atlas was dreadfully
Mr.. Hercules he would get the golden
apples II Puss would take his place, and
then Mr.. Atlas began to laugh. for Of
course ne knew that Puss Junior's shout
ders would not even hold up little white
cloud.
Let me take your place while you go
for the apples" said Mr.. Hercules, and
he stood up beside his friend and placed
his strong shoulders under the blue
heavens. So Mr.. Atlas started of, for he
knew the way, and by and by be came
10 the garden where grew the wonderful
golden apples. or course they were the
most beautiful apples In all the world,
for this garden was just outside the
place where the sun went to sleep and
his golden rays gave them the wonderful
golden color.
Wen, ! don't know Just how Mr At
las managed TO pick those apples, for
when he came back Mr. Hercules was In
such a hurry to get from under the blue
heavens that he never asked him, but
put the apples in his pocket and ran
down the mountain side with Puss on
his shoulders as fast as he could.
And in the next story you shall hear
Of another adventure which Puss had
