they strike up an alliance. An interest.
Ing instance of this took place in an

spaniel. The cat was Lena, who. a.

hitherto has maintained a standing
feud against all dogs. Lena II . Tight

Captain belongs to John Hogan, the
old-time minstrel man. and II came To
pass that the first time he ventured In
to Lena's stronghold he was lookfna
for trouble. Lena never sxerts her
self to avoid trouble. and Captain was
accommodated before his visit was
over. Lena posted her forfeit and lost
no time in Quibbling over the time for
Weighing In. The point Of the story,
however, Is the deliberate manner in
which Lena brought about the conflict
It seems that Lena has two feline as

When Captain appeared on the scene
which Captain at once appropriated.
lena was close by taking note Of the
proceedings. For q minute she did
nothing but think. Her plan Of cam
paign figured out, she arose and slowly
walked behind the lunch counter. Her
actions were noted by Captains own
r and others. who moving Lena'f
prowess as a repeller Of dog boarders,
had regarded Captains temerity with
lmazement.
Lena's plan was apparent when she
emerged from behind the lunch coun-
ter with another bone. This she carried

she laid 1t down and coolly stepped
aside to await Developments. 1t was a
oalpable challenge. Captain accepted
the issue instanter. He walked over,
took IIena's bone in his teeth and then
nut his foot on the other bone. The
next instant he had other things to at.
tend to than bones. Lena was on his
back and the battle was on. Captain
Is a valuable dog and the combatants
were quickly pulled apart. Captain was

had the bone and a smile Of triumph
