Yet Rajah liked him. He liked him so
much that he shifted of the nice young
man.
lust at that instant Rajah became
sleepy. The room was warmer
than he thought, gloriously warm.
Rajah ended the yawn with a purring
meaow. That seemed to disturb the
young man. He did a most curious
thing. AS though he simply couldn't
restrain himself his fist shot out and
hit Rajah on the nose.
Rajah drew back. astounded. OF
all things to do, Rajah's nose was
tender. And it hurt, too. The blow
made tears come to his eyes. What
had he done to deserve this? 1t upset
his dignity. He. the king of beasts.
1t made him vince. 1t wounded his
feelings. He was deeply grieved. He,
put up a paw to ward off any more
possible attacks on his nose.
Then the nice young man did an
other strange thing. He suddenly
steps-away from Rajah. Only two
steps. But they were hurried ones.
So hurried they ended in skid that
sent the rug flashing across the pol

like a dervish, clawing the air for
support. And as there wasn't any
support there, he fell down in heap,
sliding like the rug, except that he
slid toward Rajah. so that his two
feet landed PUNK against Rajah's
ribs.
To say that Rajah was disconnected
at this new turn of affairs is putting
