who would not for the world state what

all bright and active, but one OF them
was observed to have IL grenter resem.

was indeed the, prettiest kitten of the

attachment to it. A neighbor begged
one OF them of my aunt and being allow

carried it home. All this occurred in
the absence of the feline mother, who, on
her return. evidently observed with coh~

doors opened ion her admission to all the
rooms in the house, and when satisfied
that it was not on the premises, she in

return to her remaining little ones for the

having explored the premises OF all the
Jew neighbors, she al length entered the

She WAS not however long absent. In II
