ROBERT E. SMITH, Age 13, Santaqum. MY CAT, UXDY. One day last winter when I was coming home from my music lesson I heard a loud meowing, and as I looked around I saw a little kitten standing in a puddle of water. I picked him up and took him home. We called him Lindy. His paws and a spot between his eyes were white, but all the rest of him was black. He was very playful and I liked him very much. If we would sit on the floor, Lindy would climb up on our laps, or if there was a blanket on a chair he would climb up on that. Whenever we would hold our hands Just over his head and wiggle them a little, Lindy would try to bring them down to his. mouth so he could lick them. The cutest thing he did was to try to lick the flowers off the materikl in girls dresses. One day he got caught In a swinging door and It broke his back. Daddy said that Lindy would have to be killed, so he gave him to a man to kill, because he didnt want to do it himself.. I w as certainly sorry to lose my cute pet. MARY' LOUISE YOUNO.

Fried chicken and biscuits and currant Jelly and bread and butter with a great, pitcher of milk to top off the feast. Food had never been to sweet to Plnocchio. You who know him remember how expert he was in the matter of sweetness. When he had eaten his fill he went out and lay down under the big maple tree and watched the long fingers of the evening shadows stretch across the grass. A lonely whippoorwill called from somewhere off In the cedar trees on the hill, and a sorrowing friend in the dusk of the thicket answered him. The pleasant sound of distant came from the meadow across the river as the cows were turned out to sleep under the stars. Off in the hills a dog barked a welcome to his homecoming master. A light like a pointed prayer pierced the dark of the far horizon. With every breath of the evening breeze came the sweet fragrance of green growing things. Plnocchio sighed In deep content. Never in his life had he put In so hard a day. Never had he known a longer day. But, then, neither had he known such inward peace. Into this peace, into this gentle stillness, broke the roar of a speeding motor, car. With a snort and a , scrunch and a clatter U stopped at . the farmers gate. Two men got out and marched up the path to the door. Plnocchio wondered idly who and what they were. Then his heart skipped a beat and he seemed to turn to stone. Good evening. You haven't seen a little boy about here, have you? "Lost a boy, eh? "Yes. We have. One of them got out of a window early this morning and ran away and got himself into no end of trouble. Didn't see "him, did you? Plnocchio strained his ears to listen "I did see a little fellow about here this morning and Id say he was a mess, at that. What sort of a boy was yours? What did he look like? He's not much to look at. Skinny little scrap. Very long In the arms and legs. You couldn't mistake him. He has a nose as long as today and tomorrow. Hasn't a grain of sense' In his head. Not a grain woodenhead-e- d. Very. Didnt see such a chap, did Yes. bucket. Fishtd him out In e The long summer days came and went, and Pinocchlo stayed on the farm. He waa busy from sunrise to unset. and found the time all too short to do what he wished to do. He would have liked to travel some more, but the memory of his last adventure stiU lingered, and the thought of the good things on the dinner table, the chicken and the cake and the jam, held him. Good fortune smiled on the little woodenhead. ' He rotV the horse to the brook. He liked to fcel the great strong creature under him, to sniff the sweet air of the morning, to feel like an emperor reviewing his hosts He loved to feed the .little calves, to put his hand to their velvet noses and feel them nuzzle his palm for the last drops of sweet milk and meaL He delighted in tossing handsful of clover to the little pigs who came squealing to the side of the . pen to snatch it before It fell. He chuckled with glee when he drove the ducks to the pond and watched them stand on their heads in the water or swim in a long line like a tiny fleet of trim little boats starting on a voyage of fortune. enHe liked to do the things he joyed doing, but he always tried hard to get out of doing the things he didn't enjoy. There was still a great deal of wood In him, you see. About the end of summer the hired boy said, "Going to the circus?" To the circus? Me? I know bet- ter. the N-n- Yes. I brought him Into the house here, and mother fed him, and he chirked right up good as new and was heading for the road again. ni::H3iiiiiti:iiiitiiiiKi:iii;i:sis No! Yes.

I know all about those lions and tigers. Didn't I go to a circus once? Don't I know what's In the lion's skin? Just men, those lions and tigers.-- dressed up in skins of dead animals.

AU right Go and ask your folks If they are real or net They'D tell you. They dont spend money on fakes. They're going. Would they go if it wasnt real? But Plnocchio was not to be taken In again. He had been to a circus once, and that would last him for a lifetime. At least he thought so. A pleasant time to you. I stay home, said he. YouU go, aU right," and the hired boy waggled his head in the way of one who knows what he knows. " (To Be Continued.)

A faint blue light dawned on the wall just over the head of his bed and shone there the long night through. "N-no-- o! ' ptr-pe- rs.

Wise scholars tell us that when a baby is bora, he has only two natural fears, the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. The baby is Just naturally not afraid of anything else until he learns to be, and he learns alj too soon. Most of us have a lot of foolish fears. Some of us are afraid of dogs, others are afraid of water, still others are afraid of their teachers, and many are afraid of failing in a test. These fears are all unnecessary, and many of them are great handicaps to us, for they make us worry and fret so that we do not do our best. Caution Is a good thing. When we know danger is present, it Is foolish not to protect ourselves. But fretting about things is a bad habit that we should all try to overcome. Always do your best, and then you wont have to be afraid of anything. You can be as fearless as that very brave creature, the tiny baby. n day. Pinicchio was too weary to answer. He followed the farmer to the pump. You pump for me. Ill pump for you, said the farmer, rolling up his sleeves and putting his head under the spout. Plnocchio worked the handle with a right good will, and the fanner doused his head and shoulders well, dried himself on the roller towel, and then pumped for Plnnochlo. Never had cool water felt so good to the famous swimmer as it did that night in the farmed yard when it rushed out of the spout In a broad stream and spread over him a garment of spray. It restored his aching body to freshness and vigor. He came out of the folds of the towel feeling like a new May morning. What a supper i well fix Ills You know, he s going to be lot of trouble.
