Where do yon think, lie livi's? I In the barn. Under a huxe pile ' of hay in the far corner of a great big barn he stays with his ' mother and brothers. Mother rat ! would be sorry for anybody to ' know her thoughts, but she loves j Jtusty .just a wee bit more than j his two black brothers.1 This is ; one reason that she gave hint his j very special name. The other I reason is that his coat is cream ' color with dark yellow rings run- j ning around his body like great circles of rust. 1 Today Uusty and his brothers, j Tim and -l ike, Are very excited, i for this morning .M u t h p r t'at J whispered to her family this see- ! ret: '(And .secret are always ! something to be listened to.) j "Tonight, children, when the , world .is asleep and the moon ! creeps high in the sky, we are , going to leave." 1 "Rut -Mother, where are we go , Ing?" Rusty asked. 1 '." !'Yhy do we have to leave our! barn?'' Tim questioned. ! "Listen quietly, and I will tell 1 v you, ai outer vai saui as sue put f a htg fur paw up to quiet the ex citement of her children. "We are gofng to the House to live near the Family. Grandmother nature ' lias told me it is time to go. It is not easy to get food here any more and if we live near the J louse they will give us milk and scraps. You kittens will have great sport learning your table manners. The Family will want you to eat from a plate and they won't' let you put your paws in the milk, either. You will like the ' Family, and tonight we are going.) We must not wait longer because a great snow tonight might come j and we would get our feet wet." j "Oh, Mother, Mother!' the twoj Mack kittens exclaimed in glee. ' "Won't It be grand!" Tim was sol tickled he jumped on his mother i and slid down her back. Mother I Cat' didn't like that much. Rusty! watt more quiet when he heard the news, lie jumped over his brothers and tried to be gay. but I once a little paw went up to his; fjnee to brush a tiny kitten tear! away. Rusty hated to leave the barn because he loved it there, and he had many friends. 1 b- liked Mr. Ruff, the rooster, and I it did his heart good to he:ir the Cohens and Kellys A scene from 'The Cohens and Kellys in Africa" with Ceorge Sidney and Charley Murray, which opens a three day run at the Fox Cratorirui theater today, h you think you had fun with the Cohens nnd the Kelly in Paris, Scotland, and elsewhere, yon have some idea of the riot in store with these two comedians when they hit the shores of Africa.

Rut he put these thoughts away as quickly as possible and thought aliout the adventure before him. "Look, Mot lie!-." 1! usiy said as he peeked thnnigli a crack and saw the sun setting in a great ball of color. "It will sunn be time, v. oit't it 7" Time soon slipped away, and silent shadows lengthened in the white moonlight. Oscar Owl, who sat in n tree in the woods, gave a big ,Toot-ooo-hoot, and Mother Cat was reminded that every thing was safe for the journey. Mother Cat led the way and her family quietly followed. They went down in the hay mow and through a big knot hole in the wall. The three little kittens tumbled out of the hole, one by one. and on the ground. "My, my," Rusty whispered. "Mow big the w o r 1 d is!'' He shook himself. "Are you sure you know the way. .Mother?" Mother Cat laughed softly to herself, for nobody, in the world had traveled the trail to the house as often as she. Tint and Mike had never felt the ground under their feet before, and they shivered at the peculiar feeling. Mother Cat led the way over the trail and under the gate. Then they went around a chicken coop and over another trail. Rus ty wondered what all the strange objects were along the way. but was too excited to ask. Then Mother Cat stopped suddenly, and whispered softly: "We are at the house now, and there is a big box on the porch where we will stay. R has ti big soft coat iii H, for I have slppt there many times. You children must nut make any noise, tor Rob. the little dog would hear us. and wake the Family. He is sleeping in the wood -shed." Rusty and his brothers couldn't see the house they couldn't see all of it because It was so big and they were so very little. In fact the world itself seemed to be so large they, didn't know what to dh, so very quietly they followed Mother Cat and crept in the box beside her. -It was dark in the box, but the world outside was agluw with mi ion light. The three kitten minds were muddled with feai ami excite ment for a long time, then sleep came and closed one great ad venture. There were many ad ventures to romp, much more In teresting than this hut Rusty cuddled closest to his mother and dreamed dreams of moonlight and gn-:tt hont-ovlw.

SYDN1CY, Australia. .Ian. 31 (d) Five year" ago a religious cult poured thousands of dollars into u great am pit heal re on Hal-1 moral beach here, intending It a; a place in which to receive the .Messiah. It is a midget golf course to day. The "Order of the Star" chose ii silvery strand around an al most landlocked bay, command ing an uninterrupted view of Syd ney harbor, for erection of a fit ting building in which to greet the Messiah. Sunn members pah: as much as l.fiiJO to have their names' in scribed on reserved seats which thev nhinneil In oceunv no t he ; eventful day. Thus the great tiers of masonry, rising on the hill side in u sweeping semi -elicit of seats, was dedicated, free ol debt. Then the members rested to await the coming of the Messiah. Orations, mystic plays and tab leaux attracted great audiences to the amphitheatre when it was new. Rut as days grew to weeks, week; to months, and weary months to years, public interest flagged and finally even thai of the zealot: subsided, More mundane became the ues to which the ampitheatre was put, but its complete conversion to worldiness was reserved for the miniature golf craze, which has affected Australian cities with Virulence. There are hundreds of open air courses In Sydney alum-. It is estimated that within two month of their iut roil net ion, more than $l.nti(i,niMi bad been invested in them. The spaeitms platform ami the broad stone tiers of the ampi i heat re formed a great tempta tion to the putt-pmt" promoters. Reiore long I ho great platform was laid out in u series of Intri cate hazards. There was a grand opening, and ships that approach the harbor by night now see the empitheatre shimmering beneath a blnze of electric floodlights nnd thronged with players apparently giving no thought to the Messiah's coming. lfonor Roll Students Fitr-t grade, Pauline Jacobs.
