CHAPTER XXII.
The Flour Barrel
Miss Kitty Cat took her paw off
Moses Mouse, after giving him a
sharp nip to warn him not to try
to run away.
"Ouch," Moses squeaked. And
then, when he felt himself fret, he
picked up the bit of cheese that he
had dropped upon the pantry floor.
Hut he was shaking with fear. He
shook so hard that he couldn't bat-
Miss Kittg Cat was almost frantia
ance the" cheese on the end- of his
nose. It tumbled off at once, and
he turned quickly to get it.
Miss Kitty Cat turned with him.
And, while she was turning, Moses
Mouse turned back again and jumped
behind a flour barrel.
She sprang after him, but the
barrel stood so near the wall that
there was cmly a small space be
hind it. It was wide enough for
Moses Mouse to slip through, but it
was entirely too narrow for Miss
Kitty Cat. And Moses Mouse wait
ed just beyond the reach of her
paw.
She ran around the barrel, only
to find that Moses had crawled back
through the opening and was watch
ing her with his beady little eyes.
Miss Kirty Cat was almost fran
tic. She hurried around the barrel
again, and saw that Moses Mouse
had repeated his trick. He needed
only to move the length of his tail,
while she had to whisk all the way
around the fat flour barrel.
"This will never do," Miss Kitty
Cat thought, as she peared through
the crack at Moses Mouse, 'while
she paused to get-her breath. And
as she stared at him, an idea popped
into her head. It seemed such a
good idea that Miss Kitty Cat decid
ed to act upon it at once.
So she wheeled and started off
again, as it to run arouna tne oar-
ret once more. But, when sue naa
whisked half way around it, she
turned and hurried back again.
She had expected to surprise Mr.
Moses Mouse on the wrong side of
the crack. And to her astonishment,
he wasn't there. He wasn't anywhere
in sights ; , - - - - -
Goodness, me! Miss Kitty cat
wailed. "There must have been
something wrong with my idea."
There wasn t. It had merely hap
pened that Moses Mouse had had
an idea of his own.
"I don't want to stay dodging here
the rest of the night," he had said
to himself. "The next time Miss
Snooper makes a trip around the
barrel, I'm going to run up the side
of it and trust to luck."
That was exactly what he did.
Once on top of the barrel, Moses
Mouse leaped to a shelf. He crept
along the shelf until he came to
the pantry window. Now, Mrs. Green
had left the window slightly open.
And Moses Mouse darted out of
doors and half jumped, half tum
bled to ttte ground. He knew how
he could get into his nest quickly
enough, through a certain chink in
the cellar wall.
Miss Kitty Cat soon decided that
is
by the Corn Exchange National
Bank every day.
It is your money that -we loan. Farmers prefer the Cora
Exchange National. They like our policies and enjoy the
democratic atmosphere here. They say it is their kind of
bank.
If you want your money to do a double duty, that of
helping you and the Nebraska farmer, bring us your de
posits. We will see that it does its work well.

"DtT me," the sighed. "What
wretched luck I'm having tonight,
I declare, it's a sad homecoming
for me."
Meanwhile Mr, Moses Mouse was
having merry time, Mrs. Mouse
made a great fuss over him.
And that was exactly wh.t he
liked.

You know there is something
wrong with your financial system,
for, while you do not make extrava

Do you keep an account each
week of the small amounts you

Try it for one week.
It is likely that a dawning expla

for a longer period.
If you insist upon having expen

Parents' Problems
Should children write, thanking
perton who have sent them presents
at Christmas or on their birthdays,
or should their parents do this for
themf
Children should by alt means
acknowledge sifts in their own hand,
and so far as possible in their own
words. They should write their
thanks as naturally as they would
speak them.
