Ew FER ¥ l= > A WILL AND A WAY; galt and Pepper were two puppien, the fattest and most mischievous lit. tle rascals that ever lived. They hag to be banished to the kitchen, for they chewed up and destroyed so many articles in the house that their mastes paid unless the kitchen took Semis tion out of thelr. paths they; would have to De sent away to & mam who knew how to teach puppies good manners and good morals as well, Salt and Pepper, did pot know what fate was awaiting them, but frisked |} and frolicked all dey, long, nearly driv: ing Norah, the cook, out, of her mind |. with their ‘“troublésomeness.” was Norah's own word and she should be given all credit for it. One day the butcher came into the kitchen and deposited on the table a graceful and nice-smelling string .. of . sausages. You should have seen the eyes -of Salt and Pepper as the oder of the sausages was wafted to their nostrils. What were they made of to smell 80 good? Who knows? What « gnes into & sausage is known to no one in the world, much l8ss to two silly, ignorant Mttle pups lke the ones sniffing the alr and looking so long Ingly at that artistic string of sau sages—so. far above their reaeh on the kitchen table. #“Norah, Norah,” called the voice. of the mistress. ; eyes, ma'am, I'm coming? answer ed Norah. Before she left, however, Norah -turned her eye on “the pups and In terrible voice said: “If ayther of you bastes touch them sausages while I'n" gone, Ill cook ye tor lunch yourself.” . This dreadful threat made Salt and Pepper tremble in their boots, if they hed any, and Norah went upstairs leaving them alone with their tempta- tion. You don’t suppose that Salt and Pepper were going to let swch a chance go, do you? They had deter mined frem the minute their eyes had fallen on the sausages that they were to be theirs somehow, someway —but how? Th: was the question. At first they tried jumping up to the table, but it was wo use. Next they tried knocking the broom down, hop ing that the han¢ ; weuld shove the délicate morsels their way. It did not. Instead it fell in the other direction and the sausages temaingd madden- ingly. near, but hopelessly far away. Brenthless and akmost discouraged. the two. puppies sat down to think. 1s ds always .a good thing tao do— even if one is a puppy and supposed (fo heya trifle foolish. Salt was ithe quickest-witted and usually the lead: er in all sorts of mischief.” This day wns no exception. A smile came over his face-and bending over. {0 where Pepper lay,” he” whispered: “I've got it, old fellow. Don’t lose heart. Where there's a will there's a way. Do you see that object lying. there?” “What object?” replied Pepper. “1 ‘don’t ‘see. anything but that box. I don’t like" that ‘box anyway. The baby has already scared me to death with |- it twice, and I hever go mear it if I can avoid it.” “Well, you will have to do 80 now, ‘that is, if you still have any appetite for those sausages.” The mention of sausages spurred Pepper on to inquire what plan Salt had thought of whereby the sausages could be transferred from the table . to the stomachs of two greedy little dogs. Salt did not waste any time in use less conversation. He pushed tne box a little nearer the tabie and or- dered Pepper to get up on it. Pepper did so in fear and trembling, but Salt encouraged him by telling him that he should have an extra share of the sausage when that happy time ar- rived. Trembling as if he were standing on a- lighted firecracker, Pepper mounted the innocent box. At this time he had ne idea what his clever brother intended to do next. His bro- ther had, however, told Pepper that all he had to do was to grab the sau- sages when he reached the table and jump down with them. These instruc tions sounded very easy. Salt pressed the button and Pevper was expected to do the i1est. The box was one known in the nursery as a “Jack ir the box” and was a splendid, strong fellow. He had cost 80 much money that the baby’s mother had scolded the baby’s father for his evtravagance when he had brought it home to the baby a short while before. ‘When Jack bobbed up serenely Pep- per rose at the fame time. He was scared almost to death at this unex- pected happening, but was quickly ealmed when he saw that he was act- ually on the ‘kitchen table a few inches from the coveted sausages. In an instant the string was on the floor and Pepper beside. it. Salt made a hasty attack also, and then both pups did what in the country is styled “pitched in.” . They gobbled and gulp- ed and strangled in a most unhygien- ic fashion until not a vestige of the pausages was left. When Norah returned she searched high and low for the dainties. She could not blame Sait apd Pepper, they had been too.far beyond. their readh. but when she searched for the EERE, VERMTSAIRT | Laos TA aaa RRR RAR RRB BORO OPO SES CR PL PCE PR LOCC CPCI 6 to knock Opportunity is said NOTHING SO GOOD} As to goto a placé to have a light lunch, glass of Soda Water, or Ice Cream than to THOMAS CAFE.
