had ordered breakfast, and waiting to be served,
she heard succession of exclamations
ooh oh what a beautyr'
The lady turned hasty glance toward the chair
at her side There sat big white Angora cat grace
fully viewing the situation.
"Oh Bismarck you silly tp' she exclaimed as
the head waiter appeared with look his face that
BODIED good to the cat
Il must put him out, madam he said with the as
surance that belongs to head walters.
But the lady clicked her fingers and the cat disap-
peared. Every eye had been upon him, but nobody
had seen him go. The waiter looked on the chair
and under it, but the cat had vanished
1t was not until the lady had finished her break
fast, and was leaving the table with her travelling
cloak thrown over her ARM that the mystery of the
animals presence explained, and pussy's head
was allowed to peep from a capacous inside pocket
of the cape.
He has travelled in that pocket for hundreds of
miles, and this is the first time he has shown him

of being found. But he is nearing his journeys end
now, and is getting tired This cape is his exclusive

Polly Deserved a Cracker.

We familiar with the incidents related of dogs
that have driven off burglars of cats that have
aroused their masters from danger of horses that
have come to the rescue of those whom they love-
A Philadelphia daily relates the story of a parrot
that protected her owners home from burglars, who
had leEed through of the front parlor windows
They crept through the hall -oom past the bird and
began jmmying open the si1eboard in the dining
room where the silver was kept. One of the other
men gathered up the costly Turkish rugs on the
floors, and another was taking down the curtains
when Polly spoke up.
Is that you, Frank?" she queried.
The burglars stopped if they had been shot.
Polly repeated the question in a louder and more inn
perative key The noise of the parrot awakened her
MASTER Mr. Fister.
There was the sound of heavy boots the
polished floor, and of hands trying to turn the inside
knob of the front door.
Mr.. Fister grasped revolver, which he had bought
only a few days before, and kept under his pillow,
and made for the head of the stairs. He pressed
electric button on the wall and lit the lights in the
hall ROOM when he saw three struggling to open
the front door. He promptly opened fire, but they
succeeded in getting away. Mr.. Fister then went
down stairs, where he found the parrot in her cage
under the piano. The cage upset, but the bird
uninjured The owner placed her right side up upon
the piano. when she lifted her frightened head from
under her wing and asked:
"Is that you Frank?

Disease of body, convictions of mind or

of this peace for time but it is only that our Ian

Lord Roberts Reaches London

London, Jan. 4.-Lord Roberts yes
terday received right royal welcome
ON his return To London after years
absence in South Africa. The crowds
were not so dense nor SO demonstru-
tive as during the recent war celebra-
tions, but people paid from 3 to 10 gui-
meas for seats on Piccadilly and st.
James street balconies.
Stately mansions like Apslcy house,
Lord Rothschilds' and the Duke Of
Devonshire's were crowded with nota-
bic personages. but there prevailed on
all sides n feeling that the progress
of the campaign did not warrant trl-
umphal ovations, though this in no re
spect detracted from the affection with
which the little field marshal was
greeted. 1t was as man, rather
than as Il general, that London wei
coined "Bobs."
''An't he brown" said people in the
crowd. But brown or white, big or
little, the reception accorded Lord
Roberts proved that there is no more
beloved figure in public life in Eng
land than the present commanderin-
chief.
He was everywhere greeted with
real affection. His modest bearing and
the care with which he saluted on all
sides to-day along the route further
endeared him to the people.
