PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.
BY DAVID CORY.

Robinson Crusoe's home was unlike
anything Puss Junior had ever seen.
Notwithstanding that he had visited many
strange places and met many strange
people, he was greatly surprised at
Robinson CrUsoes style Of dwelling. 1t
wasn't exactly like fort and yet it was
one. Tom Thumb said 1t reminded him
Of some Of the strange castles he had
Seen while with Good King Arthur
1t stood against the side of small
liIi, surrounded by a high stockade.
There was no door to 1t, but while Puss
was wondering how they were going to
get in. Robinson Crusoe placed lad
der against the wall and climbed up,
saying. Follow me my friends; this is
the way we enter Crusoe Castle
After reaching the top they descended
y the same ladder which, Of course. was
pulled up and lowered on the inside 4
very nice looking tent met their eyes.
back of which was large cave followed
out of the rock hill
Here Is where live. my little
friends" cried Robinson Crusoe. This
Is my dog, Snooze' and my two cats,
Csromel and Caroline" Puss had never
been very fond Of dogs, hut Snoozer
came forward in such a respectful way
that Puss took a liking to him at once. I
suppose there were 50 few visitors at
Crusoe Castle that Snoozer would have
welcomed even a strange cat
With Caromel and Caroline, however,
matters were different. Caromel from
the first was Jealous Of Puss. You see,
he had no fine red-topped boots. nor A
sword and feathered cap. Caroline. how
ever. made up for him She thought Puss
Junior just about the handsomest cat
she had ever seen. Poor Carolinel She
had never been off of Crusoe Island.
For all that, however, / don't think if
she had been all over the wide, wide
world she would have met such a hand
some cat as Puss Junior. No indeed
Puss Junior was the Prince of Cats; that
goes without saying, though we have
said 1t.
And now that we have all been intro
duced let us sit down and talk" cried
Robinson Crusoe. for I've hardly spoken
to a soul for many years. I've forgotten
how voice sounds"
So they all began to talk and laugh
and to tell all sorts of jokes and riddles
until 1t began to grow dark. Then Rob
inson Crusoe jumped up and said, Come
and watch me get supper. for am Lord
and Chief Cook of CruSoe Castle
And next time III tell YOU what hap
pened after that.-Copyright 1922, by
David Cory.

the subject l want you first to go out and

If Larry had appeared worried before
his books must have been positively

Then you know all about it." he
gasped.
Di nodded her head, and again he
thought her mouth quivered as though
she were about to cry She had puzzled
himNG moment before when she said, -

wonder she knew how he felt if she had
seen the burglary. but why did she add,
Il don't understand how you arrived at
such a state of mind" She must have

thing. In that case she ought to under

Why didn't you tell me that you had

why didn't you tell me?" Di restOrted
with a choke in her throat.
Il wanted to spare you and your
mother Dr. Larry said distressfully.
I "Your family thought so much of the
man, felt it would be a good thing if
] could conceal the whole business, as
the jewels are safe I never intended to
LET you know it and-why do you look

had gone mad.

CHAPTER YI.

At present, the trouble in her face was
pitiful, and Larry could not disabuse
his mind Of a f2Qr that she was con

desire 20 pry into affairs with which he
had no concern bur be loved her so sin

relieved by sharing it with counselor.
II suppose you think was a brute fot
not going to the relief of Morrell." he
said at last breaking a silence that was
becoming painful.
Il know exactly how you feel about
that, but I don't understand how you
arrived at such a state of mind she
replied with one Of those side glances
that were a never ending source of mys
terry to the lawyer. II might as we'll ask
you II you think I was inhospitable in
allowing him to be taken to the hospita,

Frankly, I think your action was mora

decision, although ] am very thankful to
see that YOU are so sensible ~
When Larry stopped speaking Di was
sitting straight in her chair and looking
intently Mt him.
II remember you made some wild ac'
cusations early this evening" she said,
"but what further proofs have you had
tonight?"
When Larry was with Di he always
forgot that he was a lawyer. In the
present case he had forgotten his part
Of conceallng the evenings adventure
from her. He flushed a dull red under
her keen scrutiny.
Don't YOU consider Toms experience

"No. I don't" she said automatically.
Larry stared hlankly at her, but she
only smiled softly and tantalizingly bach
at him.

in which many attractive color schemes

An innovation, which comes from New
