He Was "Being Good"


There is a journalist on Columbia Heights
who has two sons ard heirs that are slow
ly, by general naughtiness, turning the pa
ternal locks a soft gray. few days ago
the younger boy had been seen to diSap-
pear into the cellar. After an absence OF
a half hour or so the mother became wor-
ried and sent the brother, who is two years
older, down stairs to see what had become
of the little fellow
The youngster in the cellar heard the
descending steps and called out, "Muv-
yer. / amt doin' nothin'; you needn't come
down cause Use bein' good"
/ This reassuring statement caused the
mother and brother TO again ascend the
stairs, and nothing more was thought OF
the little one until he came tramping up
to the room where his mother was.
"An' it yowled In ze 'frigerator," giggled
the little fend.
What yowled?" asked the patient
AN it didn't want to go in. but made
ze iii boys finger" continued the young
one.
The mother imagined things, and with
out waiting for further explanations from
her offspring rushed to the cellar and tore
open the door of the big refrigerator at
the foot Of the stairs. There lying full
length over a roast for next days dinner.
was the big black cat, the houehold pet.
The animal emitted feeble "miaow' as
it stuck one leg out into a crock OF but
ter, while its tail gracefully drooped In
bowl of apple sauce. 1t was so nearly
frozen that when the boys mother yanked
the feline out OF its tomb the animals feet
thawing out under the gasoline stove when
little Wilie's sobs on the top floor sounded
above the oninous patter Of slipper strik-
ing a yielding, soft surface.
