And their papa took the kitties out of their arms, and carried them down to their bed.
And Arabella slept, and slept, and slept, and slept, and slept. And Araminta slept, and slept, and slept, and slept, and slept.
And the little kitties in their soft little bed slept, and slept, too. All through the long, dark, beautiful night they slept.
And the sun came, and the morning came, and it was another day!

THE GO-SLEEP STORY[D]
BY EUDORA S. BUMSTEAD
“How can I go to bed,” said Penny, the flossy dog, “till I say good-night to Baby Ray? He gives me part of his bread and milk, and pats me with his little, soft hand. It is bedtime now for dogs and babies. I wonder if he is asleep?”
So he trotted along in his silky, white nightgown till he found Baby Ray on the porch in mamma’s arms.
