      TOO CLEVER BY HALF

      TELL us a story, mother, said the youngest kitten but three.

      You’ve heard all my stories, said the mother cat, sleepily turning over in the hay.

      Then make a new one, said the youngest kitten, so pertly that Mrs. Buff boxed her ears at once—but she laughed too. Did you ever hear a cat laugh? People say that cats often have occasion to do it.

      Very well, she said kindly; only if you interrupt I shall leave off.

      So there was silence in the barn, except for Mrs. Buff’s voice and the soft sound of pleased purring which the kittens made as they listened to the enchanting tale.

      "Mrs. Tabby White seems to have been as clever a cat as ever went rat-catching in a pair of soft-soled shoes. She always knew just where a mouse would peep out of the wainscot, and she had her soft-sharp paw on him before he had time to know that he was not alone in the room. She knew how to catch nice breakfasts for herself and her children, a trick I will teach you, my dears, when the spring comes; she used to lie quite quietly among the ivy on the
