r-r?VOOTS reigned supreme in thu
I Martin household. Except nt
-L Chritftmas time. Then Toots was
ordered from his favorite corners, and
expressed his displeasure by a switch
o* his tall.
Toots was a big black persrlan, with
long silky fur anil wide yellow eyes. It
was pleasant under the kitchen stove,
where delicious odors of suet and fowl
m lug led in the
warn. air. "Oct out jjl
of here, ye beast,"
shouted Cook, who
was not quite herself
during the hoi days.
"Sure I can't i-'x\

Onto these Toots leaped, au'l curled up
for r? snoovf-. (>!?, no, TrR^g, ilariing,"
said I Jetty. "The tn?e*s going there."
And Tojots was picked up under one
arm, and his stool shoved off to a
cold corner. "Yon must look Christ- \
massy, Hetty erled gayly, and \
i twisted a red ribbon about his neck. j
and tied a bow. Toots squirmed in- ;
disrhantty.
See. Mother? Why, Toots, don't j
j tear it off! That's our Christmas out- 1
1 tit." The badge of merriment dangled S
j ist beyond his reach. Disgusted, i
I Toots crawled under the sofa.
Xow was his chance. Did he dare \
attack? The tree, gaudy with' belis and
tinsel, we sued to mock him.
Cautiously, Toots jumped up on the
sofa, sniffed at an extended bough. A
slight brie xe stirred, aud a golden 1.1 rd
in the bra aches quivered. Toots j
crouched and sprang,
j The tree went down with a swish. |
j and was ablaze In a moment. Toots ;
i was surprised ami terrified. Me clawed ;

Ills noise brought the family, and !

j before considerable damage had been '

I was badly burned.

"Just think, it we hadn't heard hirn
riving. we rr.ivhf have been burned
out of house and home! And Toots,
yen shall have a Christmas present."
The parlor was locked up. and
Toots' stool and cushion moved to the
kitchen underneath the table. Cook
was basting the turkey. .V plate of
poodles was offered him, hut Toots
only sniffed. He was tired. lie found
his place under the table and clawed
the pillow into shape, lie twisted and
and scratched. I'e licked his fur into
place. He settled down. <
At peace with the world. Toots lay
on his very own pillow and slept. From
under one paw dangled a piece of red
ribbon.
