they both should sit by the hole, and

have the prize.
It was a Ions time before Ihe mouse
came out of his hole, tmrnuse they had
made so much noise, but at lest he did
come, and such a scrnmble iou never

Tim cauxht it, but Tiger took It away
from him, saying that he saw It first,
and that the mouse belonged to him.
Tim Kitten said It was his, and li

Tim and Tiger tumbled and clswed

mouse was his, when Topsy, who was

It and carried It- oft to her mother.
