Don Bow puts In his time working as q kitchen
hand In the restaurant at 15l Washington
street, Brooklyn. While Don works, Don's
bull pup Cesar sits on his launches in the back
yard ana waits with exemplary patience, occa-
sionally taking n turn about tho yard by way Of
exercise OF relaxation. Tho young ladies in the
ledy BARRIERS shop next door say pretty things
to.C@sar in the intervals of shaving, sbampooinR,
and similar industries, and Caesar, being a gal
liant dog, ways his tail and winks at them. But
now Cesar is unpopular with the lady BARRIERS,
and this is how 1t happened.
A large brindlo cat, unmindful or careless Of
the fact that the back yard belonged TO Caesar,
wandered in there q few days ago, while Cesar
was concealed In the doorway. No sooner had
Cesar become aware of tho intrusion than he
sailed forth and made n rush at the cat. But
Tom was quick, and with his tail to q corner OF
tho fence prepared to put up q defence. Any
dog of experience knows that tho defence Of a
large, able-bodied cat means deep, painful
scratches upon the nose, with the possibility
Of q lost eye or so. Being o dog Of experience,
Cesar made a few feints,dodged q vicious right
paw swing, pranced. sgrowled, scratched gravel
n bit, and retired as II for thought. intending
to draw the enemy from his strategic position.
This was all very we'll, IL there had not been

cat to the clothes pole, and In q second he was
sitting at the top, grinning cheerfully and
twtrling his whiskers, whllo q very angry bull
pup ragged below and tried to bite splinters out
Of the wood, Tor, although a very accomplished
animal, Caesar isn't any better than tho average
oyster when II comes to shining UP u pole.
So he CRASHED his teeth and barked until he
was hoarse, and the lady BARRIERS came to the
window and said:
"Naughtee, naughtee dog. Go away and
don't hurt the poor pussy"
But Cesar might have been there yet had
not Don Bow called him inside and shut the
window after him.. Two minutes later tho
cat, after a careful survey, came down, very
well pleased with himself. Up went the window
and out shot the bull pup.
Sic I'm. Cesar!' shouted Don Bow. shake
the life out of himi"
There was q fierce, mad struggle, a few agon-
lied walls, and the lady BARRIERS tainted. In
patches all over the floor. Cesar returned to
his master with long, soarifed lines on his
muzzle to be patched up. Tho cat stayed
! where Caesar left 1t, because it was dead and
couldn't do otherwise. Don Bow told Cesar
he was o good dog. After a prolonged sos
sions of Mysteries, tho lady BARRIERS sent q
delegation, headed by Mrs. Fannie Rosen-
kranz to the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals. They accused Cesar OF
murder In tho first degree, and Don Bow OF
being an accessory before, after, and during the
fact. The result was that Don had to appear
in the Adams Street Court yesterday before
Justice Bremen, where he was confronted by
several Of the lady BARRIERS. Decision in the
case was reserved.
