The L.iunr,l,s Tail

A party of Americans staying in one
of the pretty villas of San Reno, Italy,
while sitting on the fowery terrace, no.
ticed the family cat with a wriggling
lizard in her mouth. The cats mis-
tress made humane attempt at rescue,
with the result that the lizard was next
seen running away to neighboring
tree, quite uninjured, but without tail.
Then a queer scene occurred. The
ownerless tail, still retaining its vitali-.
ty, spun round and round upon the
tagged terrace, at intervals executing
a nimble skip up into the air, while the
cat played with it as she would have
lone with a mouse. She sat down to
watch the FRANKS of the playful tail,
occasionally giving it a gentle pat with
her paw, or starting back as it made
one of it's higher skips, as if half afraid
of the thing which was now neither ami
nal nor really alive. Finally, as the
mechanical vitality died out gradually,
the cat swallowed the tail and returned
to the tree to look for it's owner, which,
let us hope, she did not fnd.-Golden
