surroundings and made herself al
home in one corner of the shop. 1t was
a cold, clustering afternoon, and the
workman who had charge of closing
the shop didn't have the heart to put
the cat out into the storm when he
went home. Since then ''Tabby" has
lived at fire headquarters, and is con
sidered an attache of the department.
"Tabby" has no long pedigree, and
shows, but for intelligence firemen are
willing to wager their months pay that
there is no cat-show feline who de-
serves higher marks. She knows every
man attached to headquarters, and al
most every superior officer in. the de-
partment. Like fremen and horses, she
has learned to count the alarm bells
which ring in the station, and is said
by firemen to know the boxes to which
tower wagon No. . responds. Lieut..
Porter has charge, and she looks upon
him as her master. She will obey
commands from him, but has been
known to ignore firemen in his squad.
The Oliver street blaze was the great
est that 'Tabby" ever witnessed, and
the distance was the longest she ever
travelled on a fire wagon, but it was by
no means the first fire she had been
to. Firemen tell stories of the cat
following the tower for blocks a year
ago, not daring to mount the drivers
seat for fear of being driven back to
the station, and having remained un-
der the tower until the fire was out.
During the past few months she has
been to a number Of fires and ridden
beside the driver.
The other evening the excitement
was so intense in fire circles that
"Tabby" almost lost her head. 1t was
the night when seven bell alarms were
sounded inside of two hours and fire.
men were kept on the jump. The con
slant ringing of bells caused "Tabby''
to run back and forth in the station
and cry to go out.
When the bell came for the tower
company to start, ''Tabby" made a leap
to the drivers seat. She was there be-
fore the horses had left their stalls,
The driver knew hat a big fire was in
progress. and that there was some dis
tance to travel. His first thought was
to tell "Tabby" that she couldn't GO.
He pushed her off the seat with a
command to remain behind. But tTab-
by was not to be left behind. She
seemed to realize that something out
of the ordinary was going on and want
ed to be at the scene.
Just as the tower was leaving the
house "Tabby" once more leaped to the
drivers seat. This time she remained,
because the driver had his hands full
taking care of the horses. She rode to
the fire with her forepaws on the driv-
er's knee and her head between his
arms. While the tower was in use she
remained on the seat. notwithstanding
the fact that the tower was located
close to the burning building, where
the smoke was the densest and where
sparks were falling frequently. Tab
by" got back to the station unframed.
She appeared to have enjoyed herself
so much that in the future she will not
be molested when she expresses a de-
sire to accompany the tower to a fire.

THE HARMLESS, NECESSARY CAT.

The word cat, as used by the Greeks,
apparently signltied the martin cat, a
sort of arboreal ferret. The cat came
into domestication, however, in Europe
shortly after the Christian era, and the
first specimens brought into England
were very highly valued. Since its in
PRODUCTION as domesticated animal, the
cat has been carried by voyagers to al
most every part of the habitable globe,
and it is quite certain that it has CO.
mingled with the various smaller wild
cats of the countries to which it has
been taken. Thus, in Scotland 1t Is
known to have mated with the wild
cat which was formerly so abundant

The two young women were from

the lookout for traps and sharpers.
Having finished their shopping they
were in the elevator on their way out
when the elevator man called:
"All out here to see the famous

Days flew on now upon golden wings,
and suspicion had ceased to work in even
Goupart's mind. Old Tony had watched
carefully, but he could find nothing to
excite fear. Only one thing came up to
help the doubts the young men had en-
tertained, and that was a sudden visit
of Simon Lobois to New Orleans. He
professed to have business there. He
said he would see how much corn he
could find a market for, there being sew
eral hundred bushels now in the granary;
but the marquis informed him that he
need not trouble himself about the corn,
as he already had a use for it, meaning
to keep a large quantity on hand to serve
In case Of a failing crop. Yet Simon
must go, for he had business of his own;
and one fine morning, down the river he
went, in company with some men who
had come down from Fort Rosalie.
Lobois had been gone q week, and the
remaining members of the family were
having some joyful times. In a few days
more, the priest would be there, and then
the two waiting hands would. be united.
Father Languet sometimes made it his
home at st. Julien's place, but he had
