NEW YORK'S OFFICIAL C4TS.
There Are Two. They Live al the City Han

"The City Hall has a shifting population, "
said Janitor Marty Reese, yesterday, with a
grin You don't know what / mean?
Why, the cats, 10 be sure. The official
simon-pure city cats are only two in num-
Der, but they have whole lot of transient
guests to entertain.
THE two real city cats have made the
City Hall their home so long that hardly
remember how or when they came here
Every night, however several other cats
come around here.
IL don't think there il any other one place
IN the city where 80 many stray cats go.
They come TO the park here for birds. The
two official city cats let the newcomers in
for little while, but they never stand for
any new guest very long
"Only the other day | found cat, that at
first thought was dead, on window sill
on the north side of the building and told
one of the men TO remove it. To our sur
prise, the animal was alive.
Il took it in and fed il for day or two
and brought it around to good health again
Then our two official cats evidently told
the newcomer that his time was up, for
saw him going like a streak ont the back
door. He found home in the engine house.
"One of the prettiest cats that we ever
got here was a fine tiger cat that came IN
here and lay down, exhausted. al the feet
Of Mayor Hewitt He was fine, kind
hearted old man. He called me and said:
Mr., Keese. I think We ought TO give
this poor cat something. If you'll go and
get some nice cream and feed II TO the
animal ! will be glad to zee that you lose
nothing by it,
Il fed the cat and it stayed here for years.

CHAPTER XII.
At the Ball.

Three years ago Avice Meredith,
standing by her dead fathers side, had
thought all the brightness had forever
died out Of her life; but he, in his old
err wisdom, ere his speech had been
forever silenced, had spoken truly
young lives like young vines ever
throw out fresh tendrils IN pursuit Of
happiness, and young sunshine is too
intense to be long hid behind the
darkest clouds.
To her brother only, in that terri
bio time, she chung for comfort; and
when, as gently as he could, Travis
reminded her OF her fathers last
wishes, her whole nature shrank from
their fulflllment.
'He said, only II Mr.. Lennox him
self sought me. Do not seek him.
Travis. l could not bear It! Let me
so into a convent school for three
years to study. Then will be obedi-
ent to your wishes, as l should have
been to dear papa's."
Her entreaty was too earnest to be
gainsaid. In her deep grief the child
love she had once experienced for Mil
ton Lennox seemed suddenly to be
followed by repulsion, as her womans
pride asserted itself.
The true reason which made her
fathers wish so urgent Travis could
not reveal to her. He could not him
self yet realize it; but he saw In So
clusion, she at least would receive pro-
lection, and be shielded against the
world. And so it was that at last she
gained his consent to her plan.
One letter had reached her in all
this time which had brought vivid
scarlet to her cheeks and brow. Mil
ton wrote: g..
Il have just heard Of your deep loss,
and my heart has gone out, not only In
sympathy, but in love, to my little
child-wife. So call you, Avice, In my
own soul-so l enshrine you, pure and
perfect. My own life looks black be-
side the stainless whiteness of yours:

shall be In vain. Yet, how dare I

perhaps, perhaps-oh, blessed uncer-
tainty!-I may teach you the precious
lesson, and so link forever your young
life to mine!"
1t was this letter, conned over and
over until each word was as an old,
familiar friend, which now again
seemed written In the air as she stood
that night before her mirror, having
just escaped from the last shllful
