For years Burgla Pytzel and his pet rats
have been an attraction to visitors to the

work there. but soon he had becomecomplete
mas.er of them. He taught them tricks.
and called them forth from every crevicc

would crawl up his trousers legs, march in
single file over his outstretched arms and
over his head, and return to their hiding
places under the floor at his word.
Recently he oldcook house was demolished
and Headkeeper Moore was convinced that
TO permit the rats to live meant that they
would jnfeSt the new building, for he knew
they would follow Pytzel. So he decided
they should he shot. And the man who
loved them was commanded to call them
forth for the slaughter. He begged that
his especial favorite, whom he had named
Kitty. might be spared.
''She is Il great comfort to me-" he
pleaded. Indeed, sir, as much a pet to
