At the table she had amused the family,

With an exclamation of despair he
threw himself face downward on sofa.
1t was long past midnight and Mr.
Danforth had spent less than three hours
out of the previous thirty-six in bed. 1t
was no wonder. therefore, that with his
mind SO exhausted by constant worry
he soon fell into troubled sleep. At
first he felt himself borne, against his
will, by some invisible power up the
steep side of a mountain, the summit
of which stretched far above the clouds.
Over clefts and precipices and huge
houlders he was carried by his mys-
terious captor, expecting every mo-
ment to be dashed against the towering
cliffs in front or into the bottomless
chasms beneath. Finding that he was
powerless to escape, he'ceased to strug-
gle and became passive in the hands
of his captor. After what seemed to
him almost an age, he found himself

WHITE HOUSE CATS.
A Whole Army of Them Wage War on
Rats and Mice.

Rats and Mice.
There are almost as many cats about
the White House as may be seen on a
prosperous Pennsylvania dairy farm.
The White House cats are not of es-
pecially fine breed. They are not
proud nor in any way especially
distinguished from other cats. I'M
less it is in their breeding quail
ties. They are promiscuous lot,
in all colors that cats come. Most of
them have attached themselves to the
household apparently from patriotic
desire to serve the country. coming
from no one knows where. Many new
ones are said to have appeared at the
mansion while Mrs. Cleveland reigned
there, Notwithstanding the playful hab-
its Of the dog Hector. AS far as is con-
sistent with our form of government,
they enacted Mother Goose's melody.
The other day there was great squall-

kittens had appeared. ''It is pretty

thirty and fifty old ones. The young
no one can keep count of. When they
get too numerous there has to be o
wholesale killing. Two killings a year
keep them down."
The building is So infested with rats
and mice that an army Of old mousers
is necessary to protect the larder and
the conservatory. Most of the cats are
kept around the conservatory to kill
off the rats, which otherwise would dig
under and destroy the roots of the many
valuable plants. With such an army
of matrons, of course the multiplica-
ton of little cats is marvelously rapid.
Some of these days it may be fad with
young society ladies to have "White
House kittens for pets. This will fur
nish more humane way of getting rid
of the surplus.-Washington Cor. Phila-
delphia Telegraph.
