At the last monthly meeting Of the Swed-

a well-known chemist, made an important

threw it into the woodshed. where
later it thawed out and set the shed on

ZIP AND NANCY.
True story of the Lifelong Friend
ship of n Cat and II Dog.


Zip was Il pug dog, with eyes ms
green as emeralds. His constant com
panion was a cat called Nancy They
had been sincere friends for over
twelve years. Zip was growing deaf
and his eyesight was beginning to fail
him, while Nancy had lost the major
ity of her teeth, and a few gray hairs
were becoming noticeable in her soft
black fur.
When a very small kitten, Nancy
was carried about by the dog he grip
ping her firmly at the back of the
neck. In return she would wash him
as he lay before the fire, stroking him
with her little tongue They ate from
the same dish at mealtime. and what
ever Nancy had she willingly surren-
dered to the dog.
Zip always ran after the cats, and if
in mistake he chased Nancy he would
run into the house thoroughly ashamed
of himself One day a half starved
looking cat appeared on the fence.
Mrs. Webster, the lady owning Zip and
Nancy, loved animals very much, and
she took pity on the starved cat. As
the day was Friday she had some fish
in the house, which she gave to the
cat. He greedily gulped it down and
looked for more, which he received.
When he was at last satisfied, he real
lied that he had found a good home
and refused to go away. Mrs. Webster
felt sorry for the cat and decided to
keep him. She had now two cats and a
dog. The strange cat was called Tom.
1t was an ever to be remembered dav
when Tom entered that peaceable fam
lily. Quarrels followed, and poor Zip
generally had a scratch on his nose
given by the ever ready claw of Tom.
The dog was very much afraid of this
new cat and avoided him whenever it
was possible. At last Zip died from
old age. He went to his cozy little bed
one night and never woke again. Tom
seemed glad to be rid of the dog. but
poor Nancy worried all the time. She
would eat nothing and was slowly dy
ing from sorrow. A little grave was
dug in the back of the yard, and Zip
was laid there to rest. Nancy often
stole out and lay down beside the little
mound.
One day Mrs. Webster could not find
Nancy in the house and went into the
back yard TO look for her. There. by
lips resting place. Nancy had stretch
ed herself and died. That day another
little grave was dug for Nancy, and
there she and Zip rest together. Tom
seems very much satisfied and is mon
arch of the household. - Josephine
