A Strange Friendship.

-
Mrs. Feuton, of North Bergen, y. J.. is
alleged to be the possessor of a white cat
with a living necklace. The necklace is
a slender black snake, about two feet
long, its dark color showing in marked
contrast to the cats white coat. About a
month ago the cat went bounding into
the breakfast room, kissing and splitting
in a paroxysm of terror. The alarm was
quickly shared by the Fenton family,
who, who were at the table. when they
ascertained that she was half sirangled
by a snake that had coiled itself around
her neck. She seemed unable to help
herself either with teeth or claws, and
her friends undertook 10 assist her with
sticks and umbrellas. They chased her
around the room, whacking away vigoT-
ously at her, missing the snake, but hit
ting the cat every time. until pussy, not
approving Of this mode Of deiiverance,
sprang wildly out Of the open window,
and ran away.
For three days Mrs. Fenton mourned
for her cat as for one dead. Then her pet
returned, still wearing the reptile neck
lace. She was tranquil now, however,
and seemed to like the situation. resisting
every effort to remove the serpent. A
saucer of milk was placed before her, and
as she Tapped it up the snake uncoiled
part of its body, lowered its head into
the saucer, and the two drank amicably
together. This singular friendship has
continued. The creatures are almost in
separable. When the snake occasionally
uncoils to stretch itselfthe cat grows very
uneasy. They feed together. and when
the snake eats too fast the cat pushes ITS
head to one side. The snake signifies It's
disapproyal Of nnseemiy yoracIty on the
part Of the cat in the same manner.
