At that moment, the Farm Lady came into
the Barn with the milk stool and pail. She put
down plate of scraps for Little Mama Cat,
and saw the Kittens for the first time.

picked one of them up, strokng its tiny striped
head so; they have their fathers good looks.

Little Mama Cat purred proudly. did a bit
of ankle rubbing. then started primly for the
plate of scraps. But Worthless was there ahead
of her, crouched halfway in the plate.
The Farm Lady rose with an exasperated
exclamation.
oh! You selfish beast. get away and let
Little Mama Cat eat"'
She pushed him so hard with her foot that
he toppled over. He gave a startled yowl, and
beat a hasty retreat under the MooNlilk's
stall. Little Mama Cat slipped in after him.
Are you hurt, darling? I'm sure she didn't
mean to push you come on out, now, and
have some supper. There's chicken neck, all
for you. You know | don't care for them

Worthless knew she did She loved them.
But he did not argue the matter. As soon as
the Farm Lady had gone into the Moo-Milk's
stall, he came warily forth and devoured the
chicken neck Little Mama Cat ate the few
scraps that he left.
The Farm Lady looked up from the rhythmic
task of directing the foamy streams of milk
down into the rapidly filling pail, as shadow
darkened the waning patch of sunlight in the
door. A Big Good Looking Man came into the
Barn, whistllng, gun over his right shoulder
and bouquet of wited wild flowers in his
left hand
Hail fair milk maid' he called gaily Il

The Farm Lady pushed back the wisps of

But she did not smile, not even when he
leaned over and kissed the top of her head.
She only said tiredly:

enCe of the Little Cats. They were beginning
to curry around, and it wouldn't be long
before she could teach them to catch mice,
and how to sit under the Moo Milk when the
Farm Lady came in with her stool and pail
She wondered what their father would think
about them. Maybe he would be bit Jealous:
but she was sure he wouldn't hurt them - he
was too good-natured and easy-going
Worthless Cat came through the Barn door
just then, with the familiar slow, tiff-legged,
shoulder sliding gait that always gave her
thrill He was big. beautifully marked with
tigerish stripes, and some far-off foreign an
cestor had bequeathed him fur of unusual
sickness and thickness.
He said "mrar- ow'' in a deep, throaty voice,
and she answered him with an afectionate
p-r-r-t."
He sank down beside her, yawning widely
'Tongue-wash me, Mama he commanded.
She obeyed, purring loudly, going carefully
over his ears, and giving special attention to
the white vestee under his chin.
After prolonged and earnest session she
stopped and put her face against his
Nov you tongue wash me minute"
He gave her couple of perfunctory licks
Now you tongue-wash me again You do it
so WE'LL
She regarded him wistfully You do it all
right, too"
But she went at it again, running her rough
little tongue dutifully over his beautiful furry
face, until he sank without effort into deep
slumber
When he woke up, Little Mama Cat was
lying some distance away near the Moo-M Milk's
stall, and several small brown things were
tumbling about her like animated autumn
caves.
He was on his feet in one explosive move
ment, giving forth steaming volley of terrified
Kisses.
Little Mama Cat closed her eyes placidly.
Did you spit" she murmured
He was trembling violently.
Yes, | did. and I'm going to spit again.
What are those?"
These are Little Cats" she explained pa
tiently; yours and mine
He continued to stare with frightened green
eyes, his plumy tail quivering with agitation.
She continued to purr. You'll get used to
them, darling. Come on over they won't

Worthless advanced cautiously, and by
inches The hair on his back stood up and his
tail was f1uffed warily.
