PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By DAVID CORY. f One day. as Pns9 Junior was trudging along a pretty road, on either eide of which were fields of clover, he came to a shady lane leading to an old farm- And just as he was about to open the gate, an old woman came run ning toward him. Her gray hair was flying in the wind and the strings of her bonnet streamed out behind her like the tcil of a kite. And close at her heels scampered three little mice. “Three blind mice! See how they rnn!” chirped a robin in the apple tree. “They all ran after the farmer's wife,” yelped a little yellow dog. "Who cut off their tails with a carring knife!” mooed a big white cow, looking curiously over the old rail fence that bordered the shady lane. “Did you eTer see such a sight In your life?” inquired a little black hen; and she flew up on the rail close to the good-natured cow. "No, I never did," replied Puss Junior. But oh, dear me! Just then the old woman turned and cut off the tails of the three little mice with a great big •luk of her carving ■'knife. lvqueek, aqueei, squeek!“ cried the lie little mice. / lyh. dear! oh, dear!” cried Puss. .*tt you had only arrived a little sooner,” said the farmer’s wife, picking up the three little tails, “you might have saved me all this trouble.

Won’t you please aßk the old woman to give us back our tails?” "Will you?” asked Puss Junior, turn ing to the farmer's wife. "If they’ll promise to let my cake alone,” she replied.
