AT last Mr.. johnson hit upon the idea Of
Of making Thomas atone for his sins.
Taking the crestfallen cat in his arms
he went up 10 the cage and explained
the situation to him.
You see, he said, these rats have
no mother and you are the wicked cause
of it all. Now, what are you going to
do? win you leave these babies to die,
or win you take care of them yourself?"
Tommy seemed to realize that some
thing was expected Of him, but he
didn't know exactly what to do; so he
only looked sorry and kept quiet, which
was the most sensible thing for any
body to do under such circumstances.
Mr.. johnson then undertook to teach
the eat what he wished him to do. Talk
ing ont one Of the rats, he set IT down
beside Tommy, But here was where
the ret showed his need Of instruction
by darting away from this great big
animal which his mother had taught
him to fear The movement was too
much for the penitent cats good reso-
lutions, and he reached out quickly to
strike the fugitive; but he only got
his paws slapped for such disobedience.
He did the same thing several times
until finally he learned his lesson, and,
instead Of striking at the rat, merely
atfed it gently and earessiugly licked

cry which proved to me that although
tie stories one reads in books are not
always founded on fact, a great many

In this case the reality was even
stranger than the story. for it was
nothing less than a great big Tommy
absurdly posing as mother to a family
OF dozen rats. They all live peaceably
together in a little wire house. and
nothing could be more beautiful than
the solicitude with which the big fell
low cares for his strange children. He
licks their sleek coats TO keep them
clean, as any pussy would do for her
kittGns, and pats them lovingly with his
big. soft paws; and he is never happy
without them. OF course. there is some
explanation for all this. and thereby
hangs q tale--a eat tale, at that.
This cat makes his home in Baltimore
with Mr.. Charles johnson, who is so
proud of his ledger that he exhibits
him in his store window free of charge
TO an passers-by. He cannot boast of
anything like the age Of his tabled
predecessor, being scarcely two years
of age, and he was only about one year
old when he came into possession Of his
rat family. Perhaps he may not realize
the fact, but these responsibilities have
been heaped upon him as a penance for
q crime committed in his youth.
Some time last summer Mr.. johnson
was presented with pair Of rats. a
number which very soon increased TO
ten. Shortly after this addition to the
family the male rat died. leaving Mrs.
Fat sole provider for the family. One
day when she was out OF her cage for
an airing Mr.. Thomas Cat pounced /
upon her, and in less time than it takes
to tell II there was n family Of orphan

he seemed very penitent. but what to

1t is commonly asserted that the

that the spread of the English Ian
