Well, the next morning Puss crept out
OF the haystack where he had slept dur
ing the night, as mentioned in the last
story, and continued his way to Bran
berry Cross to see the old woman who
owned a white horse.
And by and by, after a while, and
maybe a mile, he came to the town, and
the first thing he saw was the white
horse. But the old lady was nowhere IN
sight, and the reason for this was be-
cause she had gone TO have the Jeweler
TX the rings on her fingers and the bells
on her toes.
But she won't be gone long" said the
white horse. Il can't walt" replied Puss
Junior, and OF he went, and by and By
he came to a tall oak tree. where he sat
down to rest And all of a sudden he
heard sweet voice say, Il am the spirit
Of the tree, and my name is Dryad.
When the tree dies l die with It," and
then the sweet voice died away like the
wind among the leaves
Where are you?" asked Puss Junior,
and then from out Of little door in the
great trees trunk came a little fairy
dressed in green with a crown Of oak
leaves on her head.
Take this acorn" she said. "for It
has magic and will keep you from harm.
Remember the Dryad OF tho wood gave
It to YOU" and then she closed the door
snd Puss saw her no more.
And just as be was about to resume
his journey Of adventure. a queer shaped
animal crawled along the ground. And
all OF a sudden the dry leaves caught IN
FIRE and this strange-like lizard crawled
into the flames and then turned about
and spoke to Puss.
81 am a Salamander and fire cannot
burn me-" and then the strange animal
put out the FIRE with q swish OF his long
tail and laughed.
Don't you think I would make a good
fireman, little cat7" and then he told
Puss how the ancient men Of Greece and
Rome had written stories about him, and
how one man when be was a little boy
had found a Salamsnder IN the kitchen
stove when his mother asked him TO put
more wood on the fire

then Puss turned away md went out OF
the forest and after q while he heard
that little yellow bird, whose name I'm
going to tell you some day, singing this
little song:
The rose is red, the violet blue,
I've nothing to do today, have you?"
Indeed l have" replied Puss, I'm
seeking my fortune. Can you tell me

Not far from here" replied the little
yellow bird. you will see a dead tree.
