PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.
BY DAVID CORY.

by D6 AZ OOAA-
Puss Junior astride Of his good gray
horse. was merrily trotting along one
fine morning when he came across a man
leading a ram.
I'm on my way to Derby all on a mar
ket day.
have the finest ram, Sir, that ever
was fed upon hay;
Upon hay, upon hay, upon hay;
have the finest ram. Sir that ever was
fed upon hay"
THE top Of the morning to you" cried
Puss. jovially.
Have a care" replied the man hold
ing firmly to the rope by which he led
the ram.
This ram Is fat behind. Sir; this ram
is fat before:
This ram is ten yards round, Sir, In
deed he Is no more;
This ram is ten yards, round, Sir; In
deed he is no more"
Il believe you, my good man." said
Puss, looking the ram over with a know
ing eye; "if you left 1t to me. I should
say Ne WAS pulN uNE Ndttt6 AUuAuI BILL
and not the least bit more"
The owner Of the ram looked 4 tribe
Disguised Then he began again to
praise his animal:
The horns that grow on his head,
Sir. they are as wondrous high,
AS you can plainly see, Sir, they reach
up to the sky.
The sky the skv the gkv.
As you can plainly see, sir, they reach
up to the sky"
Hold on, hold on, my good man" cried
Puss. Make It little lower and I'll
take your word for It. The sky Is a
long way NJ. You use too big a yard
stickW
The good gray horse began to litter,
and Puss himself could hardly restrain
a laugh The man looked quite angry,
and the ram butted him all the more
so. Notwithstanding this, however, he
once more addressed Puss.
"The tail that grows from his back,
Sir Is six yards and an ell;
And I'm taking 1t to Derby to toll the
market bell.
The bell, the bell, the bell;
And I'm taking it to DerbQ to toll the
market bell"
This was too much for Puss Junior.
What kind Of glasses do you wear?"
asked Puss. Il should think you had on
pair Of magnifying telescopes. Why,
your ram, sir, is fat. and he has a fine pair
Of horns and a good tail; but you
should write fairy tales and not descrip-
tlons Of livestock. I'm on my way to
Derby. Be sure to have your ram ring
the market bell tomorrow in time to
wake me up for breakfast Ha, Ha!'
and Puss put spurs to his good gray
horse~and galloped away.
And in the next story you shall hear
what happened after that.-Copyrigh

CHAPTER VII.

I found myself detained on board ship
IN company with four viuianous-I looking
workmen and Nelson, the former charged
with rioting, all of us under guard
do not think I ever gazed at land that
looked more inviting.
II win arrange for you to come
ashore" Prothro whispered to me before
leaving the ship. But it didn't look as
though he could. I heard later in the
day-it was Nelson's chatter-that Proth-
TO also was wanted for assault with
pistol and that the Mexican authorities
objected to his landing.
I was, therefore, greatly surprised
when Prothr0 came to my cabin a little
before midnight and said: II have ar
ranged for US to go ashore. Watch
through the portfolio for a moose from
above When 1t comes, fasten II around
you under your arms and climb out
through the port. A boat will be await
ing you below. AS soon as I'm out
douse the light and get ready to va
moose"
Five minutes later I had hold Of a
rope and was with difficulty getting It
under my arms. l had the hardest kind
of time getting out of the narrow port
hole but, as soon as l YVES out. / was
lowered away to a boat below, and in a
jiffy' Prothero came sliding down the
rope. I imagine the kind-hearted stew
ard was assisting, for the next minute
the rope fell entire into the boat after
us. There were four native rowers in
the boat, but they hardly dared dip an
oar into the water for fear of raising
an alarm. We could hear every move
ment on the deck of the ship.
Nelson was up there talking to some
one in a loud tone and telling what he
would tell Henry Jarndyce, the million
aire, about Prothro and Barnette and
Gladney when he got back to the States
The tide was ebbing out to the north
and there was the slightest puff of wind
from time to time to assist it; so gradu-
ally we worked away from the ship and
then our rowers set to and we made good
Roadway up the coast.

CHAPTER YI-Continued

Finally the psychological moment ar
rived, and l drew my little fashlight
and showed her the title page of the
papers she desired. She read the title
and in a fash her little white dia-
monded hand closed over the sheets be-
side mine.
oh, no, my dear" admonished. You
can't get these papers that way. Now,
what will you give me for them"
My love-
Anything else?"
MY kisses"
Anything else?"
"A hundred hugs"
But 1 love you, want you for my
very own" l imagined that was the ap-
proved formula, although I had never pro-
posed before.

them to me for a wedding present, buT

Sweetheart, it is a bargain. When
you are Mrs. Richard Gladney these blue
prints shall be your"
"Scoundrel! Devilw Nelson all but

At the same instant there was a rush
Of feet In the darkness, and three sets
Of hands, mine, the womans, and some
mans were tearing at the papers.
struck out as I could with my left hand.
Some one landed me a blow on the jaw.
There was painting and the thud of
blows, and then some one hurt my
wounded shoulder so badly that tainted
from the pain.
When 1 came to. Barnette was staEd-
ing over me tanning me and trucking
ice water into my face.
Where are the blueprints?" I asked.
"sh-don't worry" drawIed Barnette.
THAT was a phoney set. Let EN- think
they've got the real thing; then maybe
they'll give US little peace. Say, we've
got 'ern dead to rights this time. 1t
was just as We thought-Sifert and
Seriano. But there's still another that
we can't put our fingers on"
