1t was not his size or his beauty
which made him remarkable, though
his possession OF these attributes of
feline superiority easily made him
prominent among the cats of the
neighborhood with whom he waged
unrelenting warfare, but the fact is
that he possessed a controlling mind
and strategic ability that would have
made him a great commander had he
been born in q more exalted sphere of
life. For this cat, with true diplomacy,
made friends with the dogs of his par
ticular domain and went forth to battle
attended by a bodyguard whose ap-
pearance inspired respect and assisted
him in his combats. An English mastiff
bird dog, and a small cocker spaniel
shared his meals. and later enabled
him to gain victories over his hated
rival, the gray cat across the street.
This cat had had many a contest
with that gray cat, but the combat al
ways rested in a draw because Of the
guerrilla tactics of his wary oppon-
ent, who preferred a short fight and
a rapid dash to safety to prolonged
conflict where the superior weight and
fighting ability Of the cat with the con-
trolling mind would have a decided
advantage.
The thought that victory. undisput-
ed, had never yet perched upon his
banners veXed the soul OF the diplo-
matte feline and emblttered his milk

tie. Continually driven back into the
ring by the three dogs, the gray cat
was unable to pursue his favorite
tactics, and the result, after one of the
prettiest "cat scraps" that that ward
had ever seen, was complete victory
for the cat with the diplomatic in

dogs, escaped did he let up in the work
