Together they walked in the long June

creeping, went on to run-to leap-to gal

who had begun by being grumpy, became

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS,
Theorists Sometimes Rudely Shocked
fn Sudden Emergencies.


I'm Sudden Emergencies.
From the Boston Transcript.
Apropos of the question of cruelty to ami
mails, a correspondent sends this story:
Two men were walking along shady path
in the woods of northern New Hampshire
recently. One of the men owned a beauti-
full dog. and the animal was bounding
along in advance of them, smiling here and
there. and looking frequently up into the
branches of the tall oaks which lined the
way. The men were ccnyersing. Mr..
Hotchkiss was talking about his love for
all animated nature. His companion agreed
with him In that it was downright shame
to kill or abuse helpless animals of any
description. The barking of the dog in
terrup;ed them. Mr.. Hotchkiss spoke in
a vexed and angry tone. and striding for
ward, he seized a piece of dead wood lying
near. See that dog worrying that poor
SQUIRREL said he. 1T makes me so mad
1 could kill the dog.'
This somehow reminds the Listener of
speculation into which he was once plurG-
ed by the conduct of a favorite cat. The
cat, which was a superb black one, wore
about his neck a collar. to which the chill
dren had attached a little tinkling bell. One
day, in the garden, the Listener saw the
cat creeping up on a bird in a bush. To
prevent the tinkling of the bell from warn
ing the bird, the cat was creeping with
such a sew and steady movement that the
bell was net shaken bit, and was per-
fectly silent. 1t was an admirable per-
fcfmance. The bird must have seen the
cat, but acted as il charmed. Then he
Listener wondered lis IL my duty, hui
name person, 10 make a noise and scare
away that bird, that it shall not be
caught and eaten?" 1t occurred to him that
IL might he inhumane to the cat, after all
the pains and skill involved in keeping that
bell still, to interfere with his perform
ance. Ii might be shock 10 the whole
physical and moral system to scare away
the bird at that moment One should be-
ware of Interference with the established
economy of nature.
And yet it could not be said that the cat
needed the bird He had abundance of food
given him every day at the house. His az
tack on the bird was mere wanton destruc-
ticn-a killing for the fun of IL, no more
jrstifiable than mems hunting. IL would he
right to warn the bird. And yet who could
blame the cat for obeying his most essen
tial instinct He had no moral responsible
ty: his right to kill the bird was derived
. from the organic law of nature. This was
true as to the cat: but did his natural
right relieve the human observer from the
obligation of humanity? Clearly, he was
bound
But at this juncture the cat sprang
swiftly through the air-the bird fiuttered

moment he turned out of the main road.
He was walking heavily, with Eyes cast

the vision of the lost Ariadne returned and
saddened him.
Ariadne stepped out into the road snd

Ginner party one evening. The author of
"Arfadne" was the guest of the evening.
Her name, it appeared, was Ariadne As
colt. She was still quite young, not more
than two and twenty; she was full of ami
nation; she was new to society and frankly
owned her ignorance; she could not talk OF
new books because she had read none; nor
of poets because she knew none; nor of
art because she had hardly ever seen any
pictures. She accepted admiration, how
ever, with evident joy. 1T is new to me, "
she said, like everything else. You can
not tell me too often how you like my poor
little book" There was in her face, in her
manner, caressing yet not submissive, some
thing of the glamour of her book.

one of her admirers. Il fell to the ground

He Held His own.

From the Buffalo Expess.
During the recent heavy fog in New York
a young man named Kingsley was stand
ing on corner early in the morning wait
ing for a car, when he saw a very tough
looking man approach him. Kingsley was
three miles from home and had only a
nickel, which he was holding tightly in his
hand for fear that It might be lost The
stranger reached the young man, and, just
as the latter thought, proved to be a high
wayman. He ordered Kingsley 20 throw
up his hands and then he proceeded to go
through his pockets. As the victim put up
his hands he managed to slide the nickel
into his mouth. The robber found no
money and. taking stock of Kingsley's
good clothes, at once made another search
Finally he became enraged, and, remark
ing. You're pretty chap to be at large at
this hour of the morning." dealt Kingsley
a blow in the mouth. landing him on the
pavement and at the same time causing
him to swallow the nickel. AS soon as he
got his breath Kingsley shouted for help,
and two officers. who were near at hand
