Quick as a flash, Pus Junior srleecl the Robber Kitten's Pistol and pointed It at him. "Paws up!" he commanded, and up went the Robbei Kitten's paws, even quicker thr n a wink "Hold them up till To n Thumb goes through your pockets and gets the money you stole from us" But oh, dear me' Tom Thumb had a lot of trouble getting the money out of that Robbor Kitten's pocket, for he was still lying on the ground, and Puss Junior wouldn't let him get up But after a whllo Tom Thrmb pulled out tho la3t penny. And then he came over to where Puss Junior stood and said. "Lot the Robber Kitten up! I have all tho money safe In my pocket " So Puss Junior commanded the Robber Kitten Kit-ten to stand up. "Then up he rose, and scratched his nose. And went home very sad 'Oh. mother, dear, behold me here, I'll never more be bad. Bad. bad. bad: I'll never more be bad"" And when Puss and Tom Thumb heard tho Robber Kitten say this to his mother, for they had followed liim to his homo, they looked at each other and smiled. And then tho Robber Kittens mother cried, for, of course, sho was ashamed to think that her small son had turned into a Robber nnd had stolen money from Puss Junior and Tom Thumb. "Don't cry, madam." said Tom Thumb, "I think your son will be a good kltteu after this. He should always remember how Puss Junior saved him from 'the Robber Dog, for there aro not many cats in this world who are as kind as Puss Junior." "No, indeed." replied the mother of the Robber Kitten, "Sir Cat." she said, bowing to Puss Junior, "I say 'Sir,' for I see you have a sword and spurs Therefore, you must be a Royal Cat " "J am the son of the famous Pus in Boots,"' replied Puss Junior, "and am seeking adventure." and then with a low bow he turned away, followed by his faithful friend, Tom Thumb |
