silence him forever, but the attempt was in
vain.
A dozen old maids had passed Jones
house, thinking that from instinct the cat
would follow them. 1t did no good. Stuffed
rats, live rats AID white rats were displayed
as enticers to no purpose. The political pa
rades were in full blast, and campaign slo-
gaps filled the air. A regiment of boys on
Jones block, in order to devil him, marched
by his house beating tin pans, blowing horns,
and yelling
"We'lI hang. we'll hang. Wen hang
Old Jones cat sour apple tree"
Then, on their way back, they would
raise Jones out of his booth with anger,
singing
"Itis not 10 be expected
That a scaffOld viii be erected
To hang Old Jones Tom cat;
We've too much rope for that"
The more the antipathv of Jones' cat out
wardly demonstrated itself on the block the
mere Jones was determined to keep the cat.
Vain jones' Necessity is the mother OF in
yentioD. Jones retired at night, after taking
bis usual nightcap. Tom cat was doing near
the open window. The moon was rising and
the echoes of a church bell were heard dying
away. Jones turned in his bed and locked
at his cat. What mean people on this block

cat until be dies, just to spite EN-"
The lover of feline pets soon slumbered, his
deafest ear to the pillow. In the dead hour Of
night he was awakened By terrible noise.
The backyard sounded like psndemonium
Of cats news and dogs yelps. Jones arose,
hurried to the windows and looked out.
Horrors upon horrors He saw on top Of
the yard wall his Tom cat in the mouth OF a
cat twice as large. He rushed down stairs
wildly, but only in time to receive the life
less remains Of Tom as he fell at his feet.

mounted the wall to find q bull terrier

houses along the block cheer after cheer
went up and a chorus was echoed to Jones
like funeral chant: He's climbed the gold
