Kitty has to stay in the woodshed at night; she does not like this, but mamma says she must not stay in the house.
One night kitty found out where the children slept. It was a warm night, and the window was open. Kitty ran up a cherry-tree and out on a bough, from which she could jump into the room. She sprang up on Ellie's cot and lay close beside her, and how she did purr! Mamma had to laugh when she found her. But she said, "No, no, little kit; you must not sleep with my babies!"
The next night the window was left open at the top. Kitty could not jump so high as that; so what do you think she did? She got on the ledge, outside the window, to be as near her little friends as she could.
When Ellie waked in the morning there was the little kit looking in at her. Ellie thought she said, "Mew, mew! Do let me come to you!" And she made haste to let her in, you may be sure!
—MRS. D. P. SANFORD.
