A Tough Story.

A very, very tough story, in which a
chicken, rat, cat, dog, and a boy fig
ured, was going the rounds in the East
End yesterday. This story is vouched for
by good authority, and on this account is
all the more remarkable. 1t is related that
Mr.. Sam McCurdy was sitting meath the
shade of tree in the back yard OF
his residence on Clay. near Franklin
street, talking to some friends, when his
attention was called to hen with brood
of young chickens. and large rat that had
Just emerged from its hole and was quietly
regarding the young chickens with the
prospect OF meal in view. AS the rat
came from his hole the house cat awoke
from her afternoon nap and caught sight
of the rat. Crouching low, she
awaited developments, and stood prepared
to spring upon his ratship. At the
appearance of his ancient enemy, the cat,
itself in the woodshed, pricked up its ears
and quietly made for the place where the
cat stood. At this moment boy named
Andy Quad came upon the scene. The
chickens were not cognizant of being
watched by the rat, nor did the rat see the
cat, nor the feline the dog, who had not no
ticed the coming of the boy.
A little chick wandered too nigh. and he
was seized by the rat, which was in turn
ny buc Cav anu VIC Soo "oo
caught in the mouth of the dog. The rat
would not cease his hold on the chicken
and the cat, in spite of the shaking she was
getting from the dog, did not let. go, the
rat. It was fun for the boy, and in high
glee he watched the contest and the strug-
gle of each of the victims. 1t seemed to him
that the rat was about to escape after a
time, and, seizing stone, he hurled it at
the rodent. The aim was not good, and
the stone struck the dog rioht between the
eyes. The TERROR released its grip on the
cat and fell over dead. 1t had breathed its
last before the cat in return let 60 the rat
and turned over and died. The rat did not
long survive the enemy, and by the side OF
the already dead chicken he laid himself
down and gave up the ghost.
The owner of the dog was 30 angry at his
death that he is said to have come near
making the story complete by killing the
boy that killed the dog that shook the cat
that caught the rat that bit the chicken on
Clay street.-fCourier-J ournal.
