Billy Whiskers' Adventure

<p>Billy Whiskers Stubby and Button sailed by the Goddess of Liberty and entered New York harbor after being in France ever since our troops entered the War.</p><p> </p><p>They had gone over on one of the troop ships and it just so happened that they returned on the same ship and with the same Captain and crew.</p><p> </p><p>They were returning home covered with scars and wounds received while performing acts of bravery but what cared they for scars and wounds so long as they had not lost an eye ear or leg and were feeling perfectly well and strong?</p><p> </p><p>To be sure Billy had lost the tip of his tail when he was blown up by a bomb but that did not matter. You never saw three such happy animals as these were to be able once again to lay eyes on their beloved country - the United States of America that glorious country of the free and the brave.</p><p> </p><p>Gee I feel so happy I could jump out of my skin! exclaimed Billy with glowing eyes as the three stood on deck watching the familiar shores slip by them and the skyscraper buildings grow taller and taller and taller as they approached them.</p>
