said Ham. 1--WE can make a splendid
ring in the sand-in fact. we can have
three rings if We want to. All We nave
to DO, you know, is to throw up the sand
in a circle
Every one agreed that it was an ideal

when Puss Junior rides around the ring.
You know. just the way they do in the
real circus"
Great Scott exclaimed Captain
Noah, overheaTing the remark as he de-

ARK.
The sound Of hammerlng at that mo-

toward the Ark. What's going on?
asked Ham.

fore they reached the gangplank Mr.
Jonah appeared On his legs were
strapped q pair Of stills, which made him

"Of course I can" replied Mrs Noah,
bursting into laughter but I'm afraid
they won't match"
In due course of time Puss Juniors

blue and the lower part gray, but per
fecuy satisfactory to the wearer.
