A ROMANTIC ADVENTURE.
Tho Story of ~a..Lonesome Little Cat and a
Lonesome Little Girl.

Tho Story of a.Lonesome Little Cat and a
Lonesome Little Girl.
Once on q time there was a little
girl, and there vas a little cat, and they
lived five miles from each other, and
the little girl had never heard of the
little cat, and the little cat had never
heard of the little girl.
The little girls name was Nell, and
she lived with her grandparents, and
she was lonesome because she was all
the young small little person there was
in the house. The little cats name
was Capertoes, and he was lonesome
because he was q barn-cat and a '.great
hunter" Now, cats like to catch rats
and mice; but they like other things
%too-such things as fires and rugs, and
gentle words. and the touch of a gentle
hand. .....
Now Capertoes had grown sick Of
the barn, and of rats and mice, and
m night he left the barn and set out
''to seek his fortune" 1t was a long,
cold, snowy road, and Capertoes went,
and went, and went, all night. But at
the end of the night. and at the end Of
the road, he found his fortune.
As he was passing a house, a little
girl With brown eyes and brown hair
opened q window, and called to him:
"Kitty, kitty!"
Capertoes stopped, and after looking
at her a minute, he went up to the
window. The little girl told him her
lame was Nell, and asked him what
his was; and when he had heard her
talk a bit, he liked the sound of her
voice, and the touch of her hand was
soft and gentle; and presently, when
she asked him if he would not like to
be her cat, he jumped in and staid and
was her cat always afterwards. But
his name there was Velvetcoat, not
Capertoes Sara E. Farman, in Our
Little Men and Women.
