A Bright Boys Work.

Wallace Evans, of Philadelphia, a

try in the West, selling 800 eggs in a

Such an enterprise conducted by u

The Cats Were Chums,

When Pete got lost Dick mourned as
never a cat mourned before; now Dick
is lost and Pete is inconsolable-and
yet the two chums are only cats.
Both are beautiful. Dick has fiercer
yellow stripes than the Tammany ii.
ger; Pete is dark gray, with stripes,
Both are Angoras. A year ago Pete
turned up missing. Dick wouldn't
take drop of milk. but moped around
the house till one day Pete was found
again, very thin and minus his mag
nificent whiskers.
Well, one day Dick disappeared. The
last seen of him he was climbing out
of the window on the stone sill That
night the cat was missed. Pete no
tced it first and told his story by
plaintive walls and scratching at his
mistress's gown.
All night long he waited by the win,
dow, but no chum eat came back. Thu
next day he waited. whining and re-
fusing food. Yesterday he was on the
sill, waiting still. A saucer of milk,
cajolery, sharp words-not one woul'l
bring Peter off the sill, and there l.e
sat last night waiting patiently for
his chum.
