PUss IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.

One day as Puss was travelling through
forest he came to a poor woodcutter's S
hut, SO he knocked upon the door, ana
pretty soon the woodcutter, who was sick
in bed, called out:
who is knocking?"
"PUss in Boots, Junior" replied our lit
tie traveller.
well, then, Sir Cat, open the door"
So Puss did as he was bid and went
over to the poor sick man and said !:
What can 1 do for you? Have you food
enoughf"
~ have tasted nothing for two days"
replied the poor man, and then he closed
his eyes, for he was very weak
Goodness. me-" said Puss, sit is lucky
/ have some bread and milk in my KNAPP
sack" and he at once spread a little
table and set it near the bed, and after
the woodcutter had eaten and drank a
glass Of milk, he said:
"Sir Cat, you have saved my life. Do
you see that horn hanging over the fire.
place? Take it down, for it is yours
for the asking. 1t is a magic horn, so
! have been told, but what use have l,
Il poor wood cutter for a magic horn?"
So Puss climbed upon a chair and took
down the old horn, which was tarnished
with age, and put 1t In his pocket, and
then, bidding the woodcutter good-by,
he set out once more upon his journey
of adventure.
But gracious me. He had gone but q
short distance when a band of robbers
jumped out from behind thick bush
and said
Give US your purse. Sir Cat, or we
will cut off your head and the tip of
your TAIL" and then they laughed, for
they thought of course that Puss would
be frightened 10 death
My purse is for the poor and needy
and not for robber men" replied Puss
hercely, and he drew his sword.
"Ho, ho"' cried the largest of all the
robbers. Brave words, but, my good
Sir Cat, you are one against many. Hand
over your purse or your life will not be
worth a pewter hapenny!"
Well, this so angered our little Puss
Junior, that ne raised his sword to
strike the ro5ber, but in less than can
tell It one of the robbers struck it with
his big club and Puss was left to fight
with mis- bare paws. But don't get wor-
ried. for suddenly be thought of the
! magic horn, and taking 1t from his
pocket, he blew upon it. And. would
you believe it, the blaet that came from
that magic horn tore the leaves from the
trees until the forest was as bare as Il
It were the middle Of January.
