a Consoientfons Cat.

IAgues A. Sandman, in st. Nicholas for April
Ii at was one Of the hydraulic mines that
the fugitive cat had found friends; and SIS after
several visits she lay watching their opera
lions, she seemed to reason 1t all out In her
own mind that SIS soon as the great dirt bank
opposite her showed signs OF giving way I'M
der the action Of the water forced against 1t,
the men would rush for shelter to the shsnty
near by, 10 which, of course. she too would
scsmpeT to escape the falling earth. So, rea-
soned pussy, if these kind friends OF mine
are always in danger from these tumbling-
down banks, why can not / in return for
their kindness, watch the dirt banks and give
them proper warming
Now, as you all know, there is nothing a
cat dislikes so much as water; just watch
your kitty shake her paws dsintily when she
steps into puddle, and see how digusted she
is if a drop of water falls on her nose or back.
But this Sierra Nevada pussy was most con-
scientious cat. She felt that it was her duty
to make some sacrifice for her friends, and
so, after thinking Ii all over, she took her
place right on top of the nozzle of the mon
itor' las the big iron pipe through which the
water is forced is called snd here, in spite
of occasional and most uuWelcome shower
baths, she would watch for the first move
ment OF the falling bank, when away she
would 90 like fash with all the miners at
her heels until thay all reached the shelter
of the hut. So faithfully did shs perform her
self-imPosed task that, in little while, the
men gave I'D their pTecaution OF keeping one
eye on the dangerous slide and waited Tor
puss to give the signal. As SOON as they saw
her spring down from the comfortable bed
which the miners had msde for her on the
monitor" they would ell cry, The cat
the catI" and start on a run for the shanty.
And it was ct just such moment that 1

conscientious cat leading her friends 10
safety.
