1 ix nobody hut a furry kitten. Ilv
is a tiny Utile follow, soft and j
running.
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-

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. It's n
scream from start to finish.

Archie llolt, minacr. announes
that the box offices will op' " -
big horses chewing their hay
down in the stable. 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.
