should live so well on S1,600 year. She
had a house in the city and one in the
country, and she had sent her hoy to
Europe to be educated. Upon inquiry it
was stated that she had received fortune
from the death of relatives.
Another thing that created suspicion
was the fact that it was discovered that
she had one name in the department and
another outside. She had been married
twice, and on the treasury rolls her name
was Mrs. Becker, while outside she was
Mrs. Smith. Well, one evening We found
an error in our accounts. and this error
traced to Mrs. Beckers desk. I asked
for her the next morning, intending to give
her little scolding for her carelessness.
She was not present; she had remained
away from office without leave. This had
happened quite frequently, and l gave or

terday afternoon. For weeks the mother
listened to the frenzied wall of the mental
~ nsolvent, but her intellect remained Tn
impaired.
Owing to the breaking Of a drain pipe at
the lower end Of the corridor the floor was
literally sprinkled with chloride of lime.
One of the kittens, while playing about
after the manner of its kind. rolled into the
disinfectant and got its coat filed with the
lime.

said DR.. Berry, "the mother undertook to
make the toilet of the little ones, but ac-
quired taste in her mouth that anne near

prise and regret stood in the eyes Of the
wretched parent as she gazed .suspiciously
at the kitten. Once 1 thought she was 60
ing to faint, but she is not that kind of a
cat. Instead of making a fuss the mother
nosed the patient until she found a spot
free from lime. Then she took the kitten
in her teeth, carried it along the corridor
to the hospital proper. and laid 1t on the
operating table with its feet in the air.
Without doubt that old cat had conf
dence in the police surgeons and knew
what we were there for. She sat on The
leather pillow, looking first at the kitten
and then at the instrument case, until I
broke down and gave the kitten bath in
the sink. During the operation the mother
purred in satisfied sort of way, and when
I had finished she took her baby by the
nape of the neck, gave it a couple of
shakes, and trotted back to her home In
