BILLY WHISKERSBy FRANCES MONTGOMERY

Stubby had tumbled into an old ell, and there found Billy. "How in the world did you get

here?" he demanded.imo way you did! I took, a

header, and here I am! I have baaed my head nearly off, calling^ to you and Button to come to my

ie, but not a sound could I hear. Somehow or other my voice did not seem to carry."

'e. certainly are In a pretty pickle! Lost In an abandoned well on a lake shore with no habitation within a quarter of a mile. This will be our tomb unless some one chances to pass this way soon. And the chances are that no one will pass this way for weeks."

"Where can that cat be;" asked Billy. "It sounds to mo as If he, too, was In a hole or shot up somewhere and cannot get out"

"Yes, where can he be?" echoed Stubby. "First wo hear his voice, then we don't hear It. It sounds a good way off, at that. Say, Billy, r think I see a, way out. You stand up on your hind legs and I will run up your hack and seo if I can't jump out of this well. It isn't more than eight feet deep, and when you stand up you must be about six or seven feet tall."

It'll Hurt Billy"Yes, I should think I would

measure that. But how are you to get room to get a running start?",

"I can't do that. I shall just have to climb up your les by pulling myself, holding onto your hair and digging' my claws Into your" back."

"Thanks! That sounds fine for mo, I am sure!"

"Well, isn't it better than stay- Ing here and saving your skin and tlylng of hunger and thirst?"

"I suppose it is; but when you are out, how. do you propose get­ ting me out, as ttfere will be no one up whose back I can run and jump?"

"Oh, that will bo all right! When I am out I can run and bring some one to help you out."

"Yes, I know, Mr. Stubby-tail. But do you realize that Is Is going to he some job to get a goa£ of my <ize out of a deep, narrow hole ike this?"

"To be sure I do. But that can easily be accomplished when once

"Listen! I hear voices. He must iee some one walking on the >oach. I hear two peftple talking md -they are coming this way! ,et's bna and bark for all we are vorth!"

This, they did, and a little Eirl md her father who were walking ijong the beach heard, the meow if a cat come floating to thorn

they paused within a few feet of the well, and though they heard both Billy's arid Stubby's voices they could see them nowhere, and the wind played sad havoc, for It made their voices soundj as If. they

r their voices die away In the distance.

H« GeU Out"Now, Billy, there Is a chance

lost, so stand up and let me see I can climb up on your back

and get out."It took many trials, but at last

by Billy putting his hind legs .gainst one wall of the well and

bracing his forehead against the oslte wall, Stubby managed to-

jump on bis back and climb to his head, from whero he Rave a big leap and landed outside the well.

"Now, Billy, don't worry! I will1 soon find some one to get you out. If I don't, I promise you on my sacred honor to come back here and die with you."

It was not a rash promise Stubby's part, for already he had seen the man and his little daugh­ ter rowing out to take"Button off the rooks.

"Now is my chance," thought he. "Here is a kindhearted -man g<: to the rescue of a cat. Why wi he be a good one to come to the aid of a goat? I'll go down by th shore and wait until they land: Then I will bark and run up to the well and make such u fuss that they will follow me to se what is down there."

To which Stubby replied: "Cood reason enough! I fell into n well and only just now got out. And when you land you must help me make this man go to Billy's res­ cue."

"Why Billy's rescue? Where is lie?" asked Button, excitedly.

"Down the well, silly!" "You said nothing about Billy-

I wonder If he was hurt when he

fell in, for that Is a nasty, deep

hole. But the question now Is,

how In the world are we going to

get him out?""Teg, that Is it," baaed Billy;

hut of course the man did not understand what Billy was saying to him.

"Poor thing! He may have been hero for days and ho nearly dond for want of food and water. Hut I guess not, ns he looks too fat for that. Nellie, ' run homo and tell Tom to bring a pulley, rope and ladder from 6ver on the lake where Mr. Stllwell's house used to stand before It burned."
