fact, he considered himself insufficient
All through his professional career he
had striven for one thing, and though
money and clients had come aplenty MS

AT first when the object of his hopes
and fears seemed a possibility Triton

nickname of "Whirlwind," and made
more money than he would be able TO
spend, at his present moderate rate OF
living, in a hundred years. Five years
before when he bHeved the purpose Tor
all his efforts passed out Of his Ire

his earnings and just worked to ooIlt-

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.
By DAvIb CORY.

There was a great clapping Of hands
as Puss Junior finished his story about
his adventure with Cinderella The old
man said he would like TO have seen the
little glass slipper, and the little yellow
hen said she would like TO have seen the
blue bird.
And then Tom Thumb looked up at
Puss Junior and said: MY dear. dear
,Puss. you certainly have had wonderful
adventures. l have always wanted to
meet Cinderella. I love all the Mother
Goose characters. but Cinderella always
pleased me most"
well some day you shall meet her"
said Puss Junior Some day. after we
have met 6ll the dear people in Mother
Goose, you and I will retrace our steps,
and I'll take you to my old home. Yes,
back to my old garnet where I first saw
the portrait OF my illustriOus father, -
and then Puss Junior curled his whiskers
and sat up very straight, for he felt
proud TO think that he had gone through
so many wonderful adventures.
And then the little old man got up
and said
Early to bed and early to rise
VIII make us all healthy and wealthy
and wise"
Every well, Grandfather" said the
little yellow hen, and she got out the
candles And when they were all lighted,
she showed Puss and Tom to their room
at the head OF a crooked little fight Of
stairs. II had two small windows shaped
Ike stars, and the moonlight made
little gold stars all over the carpet Puss
set his candle down on the little pie
crust table, and said:
Little Nanny Etbgoat
Had a white petticoat,
And a red nose;
The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows"
Then my good Sir Cat" said the
little yellow hen with a bow, you had
better blow out Little Nanny Ettigoat'
and uudress yourself by the light OF the
little gold stars on the carpet"
Well, 1t didn't take Puss and Tom
Thumb long to get into bed. and they
both were so tired that they fell asleep
SIS soon as their heads touched the soft
white pillow. And the little gold stars
on the carpet stayed there until the big
yellow sun in the morning chased them
back into the sky again.-Copyright 1921.
