CAT AND THE TRAVELLERS.
Characters Disclosed by the Way They
Treated the Animal.

Characters Disclosed by the Way They
Treated the Animal.
Judge a man by the way he treats
dumb animals said a philosopher; or,
if he didn't, he should have said it, for
it is undoubtedly a truth that was
worthy the observation of any one of
them. To traveller, whose course
took him by way of the Christopher
street ferryhouse of the Delaware &
Lackawanna railroad, an opportunity
to prove its wisdom was vouchsafed by
a large, grave-looking cat with mot
tied coat. 1t was remarkable to him
the number of ways various people
who entered the ferryhouse had of
showing attention to the cat. In a very
short time the traveller grew so facile
in character reading that he almost
knew beforehand what each person
was going to do as he approached the
animal. The cat seemed to know, too,
for when a tall, black mustached man
came along she dropped her tail and
started with a rush for a corner, not,
however, in time to escape a poke in
the ribs with a large cane. Still an
other jaunty, kind-faced gentleman,
with large leather hatbox and
dress-suit case, and absently tearing
letter into bits, came along. Pussy
looked into the kind face with con-
fiding purr. He was young and looked
so gentle. He looked down at her with
an answering smile. beautiful to see,
and the traveller decided that he must
be a charming person indeed, when
straight into kitty's upturned face, in
to her wide, mild eyes, came the hand
full of bits of paper, startling her and
sending her with distended tail to the
other end of the room. The kind, good
gentleman laughed a happy, ringing
laugh, and the traveller in the corner
marveled at how deceptive appearances
sometimes are. A stout, fatherly look
ing gentleman in linen hat and hold
ing a small boy by the hand stopped
long enough to stroke her fur with his
umbrella and to admonish the small
boy, who undoubtedly saw visions of
lost opportunities with a tin can, in
lieu of which he was pulling the I'M
fortunate animals posterior append
age. The women showed only small
individuality, it must be admitted, in
their treatment of the cat. The slen-
der young ones who could let them
selves gracefully into STOPPING pos
ture knelt before pussy and gently
stroked her fur, and pussy closed her
eyes, and lay on her side, and looked
her happiness. But the older women
had to be satisfied with using their
parasols and playfully poking her in
the ribs.-Chicago News

The flush ieaped from the tips of
her ears to spread over face and neck.
She turned back and made an uncer-
tain step toward the river only TO find
him in front of her.
Did you mean it?'
"I wanted to have another look at

Don't you think you ought to tell me
a little more about him so that l will
be able to recognize him and know
when my time has come to take a back

but said nothing. When a man has
been making love to a girl ever since

He isn't at all gallant" she inter-
posed rather warmly.
Isn't? Oh, then, you have met
him.
The girl seemed absorbed in the slow
flowing river and made no response,
but when he turned to look at her
he saw that the tips of her ears were
glowing.
See here he said quietly, ''if you
have, l want you to tell me. When
you rejected me last winter l passed
it over because i thought you were
too young to know good thing when
you saw it."
Not at all conceited.'
Connected enough to believe that
my love is deserving of careful con-
sideration. l assure you that it has
never been carelessly bestowed. l may
not be an ideal man, but my life has
been clean and honest, and l have
never neglected anything entrusted to

protected and petted, but l don't want
you to marry me unless you love me. "
Il should say not
But l want you to learn to do that.
Go to work earnestly and learn to love
me every bit as much as l love you.
1t will not be an easy task but l want
you to put aside all this ideal nonsense
and go honestly to work at it,
Anything else?"
Eyes; when you have done that, l

And suppose 1 fail to fulfill your
expectations
He sat so still for a moment that
her resentment began to die away.
Suppose l have already fallen in
love with my ideal, how could 1 put
all that nonsense aside?"
Have you?' he questioned gently.
She nodded slowly.
Il hope you will be very happy" he
said presently, then after waiting a
moment for her to speak, arose and
walked away to the bank.
The girl watched him wistfully as
he stood with his hands in his peck
cts staring down at the dim, deep
water. Her lips parted once or twice
but closed again in silence.
WELL he said, turning around with
smile, I'VE must not keep the ideal
waiting. 1 had better take you home
