NCE upon a time an old man
and an old woman lived
alone in a hut in a forest.
They were very poor, and sometimes
there was barely enough to eat. One
cold. Winter night there came to
their door a hungry cat begging pite<
ously for a morsel of food.
“Cat. we have scarcely enough for
ourselves.” said the old woman. "But
we can not turn anything away
hungry. so come in and warm your-
self and share the little that is ours.”
Straightway the cat came in. and
she ate so much that the old man and
the old woman w'ent hungry them‘
selves that night. Then the cat
washed her face. and then she curled
up before the tire and wont fast to
sleep. . ‘
So the cat stayed in the hut in the
forest with the old man and the old
woman. and they named her Bella.
Very fond indeed they became of
Bella. and before long the old man
made for her a neat collar from a
strip of leather. and the old woman
found among her keepsakes a little
bell which she fastened to the collar.
saying: “Ah. pleasant it will be to
hear the tinKle of Bella's bell and
know she is not far away from
home."
Then one day she ran oif, and she
stayed. and stayed. and stayed. It
began to snow very hard, and the old
man and the old woman feared she
was lost in the forest. Night came on
and they despaired of her over re-
turning. but just as they were about
to blow out the candle and go tobed
they: heard the tinkle of the hell on
Bella's collar. and when they nuns
open the door there stood on their
threshold a stranger with Bella.
Without invitation the stranger
rushed into the but and knelt before
the blaze of their are. warming his
numbed hands and crying:
"Good old people. this eat saved
my lite. I was lost in the forest. and
I had given _up to die. Then I heard
the tinkle of: a bell and then I saw
a pair of amber eyes shining in the
darkness. and I followed her through
the denseness 9st the forest until I
saw the light in your hut. She led
me safely through the snowstorm
safety and shelter.” v ‘
Then the old woman brewed a cup
of tea for the stronger. and the old
man told tales of the forest. and Bella
curled up at his feet and went to
sleep. '
The stranger said: “Old man and
old woman. I want your cat. Set any
price and I will pail: in gold."
"Hold!" cried the old woman. "‘To
wilt always be!" and away it new.

ways.”
The old man leaned over and
stroked Bella's head. He said: "The
old woman speaks truly. stranger.
We can not part with our cat Bella."
Whereupon the stranger said: “Old
man and old woman. well you know
how to value a friend."
Then early the next morning he
left the hut, but before the old man
and the old woman were up. But
another day he came riding back
upon a line black horse. Bella was
at home alone, sunning herself upon
the doorstep; but when she saw the
stranger she meowed a welcOme and

The stranger dismounted and. aft»-

one over her head. Then to the col-

black horse and gnlloped away.
When the old man and the old
woman came home they saw Bella
decked in her beautiful red leather
collar with the silver trimmings and
the silver bell.
And Bella meowed and tinkled her
silver bell. and then they saw the
little bag fastened to the collar. The
old woman took it 01!. and when she
opened 1‘ she saw that it was filled
with pieces of shining gold.
