the water and supplies, one day, this little
curiosity was put out on the smooth grass
almost within easy reach. Suddenly there
was rush and spring, and before even the
most watchful could interfere, proving,
stray cat had pounced upon the favorite in
mate Of the aquarium. OF course it was
rescued at once, but it was thought that the
ruthless cat had killed the pet outright To
their great satisfaction it seemed unhurt.
There was no trace of blood, not even
scratch visible.
The right head ventured at once to peer
out cautiously, but the left was too fright
ened to leave its protecting shell for fully
half an hour. But finding itself in familiar
hands the pet was soon itself again, and was
restored to its aquarium.
The next morning it walked, swan and
ate as it was won't to do, although the left
head was not hungry, and refused to eat at
all, which was not uncommon. The next
day, also, the left head ate nothing, and on
the third it dropped. 1t was evidently very
weak and sick, yet courageous and bound to
hold out as long as possible, for, when
petted, it Strengthened up resolutely and
tried to make off with it's companion, as it
had done for SO many weeks, to the wonder
and delight of all who saw it. But in less
than an hour it was dead, and the left legs
also, leaving its companion apparently in
great distress, for it was exceedingly un-
easy. Undoubtedly the living head had some
intimation of its approaching end and rest
lessly walked about as if to escape. But in
two hours and half the right head was
dead Also The cats claw had pierced the
neck of the left head. Careful examination
showed, close to the shell, a small but fatal
wound in the neck. But for this tragic end
it mi ght have lived on through the winter,
or possibly even longer.
During its short life, from the 1st of June
to the middle of September, many people
from many cities visited it, and enjoyed its
queer pranks, its quarrels for more room,
its tugs-of-war for food, its many misun-
derstandings of itself, its awkward gait and
wise look
Large sums of money were offered for it,
but this rare pet had so endeared itself to
it's owners that they were not tempted to
part company with it. Now that it is dead
they keep the body carefully preserved, and
feel that its memory deserves to be perpet-
uated-Wide Awake.

feet stepped forward, leaving the hind
parts without support, and they dropped in
turn; and thus, bobbing up and down, it
advanced by an awkward, rocking gait.
But the sleeper, reused abruptly, was
not always disposed to start of at once
with its companion, so the other scurried
around as best it could till convinced that a
circle IS endless and that it must have re-
course TO other expedients than those pro-
vided by nature. Out of its necessity, sur
prising as il may appear, this little mon
ster had invented a way of getting about.
Extending its two feet, 1t clutched at grass
and weeds, and so dragged itself sideways,
and went when it would or where it chose,
whether the other side slept, or, being
awake, took its ease, refusing to bulge.
| have seen them walk thus, repeatedly;
but il WAS the invention of the right head,
and the left never resorted to ii so far as
could observe Thus it viii be seen that
there was no concerted action between the
right side and the left, and yet they start
ed together with surprising frequency to
do precisely the same things-to eat, to
swim or TO walk. .
A smooth concrete walk was favorite
place for giving this pet an occasional sun
bath. When placed on this, or on a smooth
piece of ground, it went through some
queer antics before starting. First, the
left head turned TO the left, the right 10 the
right, after gazing vacantly about for a
time, they atlength started of with will
in these two oppo tie directions at once.
The result is, of course, that opposing one
another as they did, they went backward,
Sometimes two or three feet, before they
found how useless were their efforts TO so

tanned this, they stopped short, and, after
q moments rest, started off together,
lettering up and down, but travelling
straight along TIL a stalk of grass or a weed
was encountered. This was sure to bring
them TO standstill for one insisted upon
turning TO the left Of it, the other 10 the
right, which brought them astride the weed,
where they stood tugging away obstinateiy
till strength failed them.

three quarters of an inch high, easily
scaled by other pet tortoises of the same
age, proved an insurmountable barrier for

unfortunate predicsment In its case, from

Every one who saw these queer maneu-
vers and the intelligence displayed II the
adapting Of means 20 ends for which 1t was
so poorly fitted by nature, was charmed
with the little pet.
