cat with red top boots will set her free
So, listen to me, and l will tell you
how 1t can be done"
Then the big black snake uncoiled him
self and crawled away toward a little
bush that grew nearby, and when he
reached it he said: Come over here.
Puss Junior. Get off your horse, and
don't be afraid, for l will not hurt you"
SO Puss jumped down and walked over
to where the snake was and then the
snake began to talk again.
when you reach yonder castle, you
must knock on the postern gate three
times, and when it opens, you must say
that you wish to see the Lord of the
Castle. But very likely you will be told
that the Lord is not at home. But don't
take mo- for an answer. And when you
are inside the castle walls a little bird
in a cage will tell you what to do"
Puss started off again on his Good
Gray Horse and after a long ways he
came to the castle. So he knocked three
times on the little postern gate with the
hilt Of his sword. and when 1t opened,
he asked for the Lord Of the Castle.
He is not Within" said the retainer
with low bow.
"What?" exclaimed Puss Junior, as
if he were very much surprised Not

him." Well, when the retainer heard
that. he said:
"Wait a moment, Sir Cat, and I will
make sure, for sometimes my Lord comes
back unexpectedly" And then, after a
little while, the retainer returned and
said "Step inside Sir Cat, for my Lord
is at home and will see you"
SO Puss got off his Good Gray Horse
and gave the reins to servant, and
walked up the castle steps and pretty
soon he found himself in the presence OF
the Lord of The castle. And, oh, dear
me! He certainly was a wicked look
ing man. He had small black eyes and
cruel mouth, and he looked at Puss
as much as to say, What do you want,
you, small kitten?"
Il am seeking adventure" said Puss,

spend the night in your beautiful castle?''
Well. this pleased the Lord. so he said
Puss might, and then he had Puss shown

suited Fuss, for he knew he must be

after the castle was quiet, Puss peeped
out of his door and looked all around,

With an electric dishwasher you
can clean all the dishes used by two
people In one day in one operation,
and 1t will take probably fifteen
minutes above the time necessary to
scrape and stack the dishes. II you
select a well-designed machine and
use the right soap preparation, the
stacking Of the dishes in the ma

the cleaning of the machine, will
take much less time than is required
for hand washing, and all the I'M

means about twenty-five hours per
month. 1t will be seen that at this
rate you are relieving yourself OF
one of the hardest Of household tasks
for approximately 20 cents a month.
Let me impress upon you the truth
that there is no possible way for
the vacuum cleaner or any other
electrical appliance to increase your
electric bill unless you increase the
hours you operate 1t. A vacuum
cleaner could not increase your bill
even so much as dollar a month
unless you used II about 100 hours
per month. and that would mean all

lous.
