of the outlaw cleaved the air, promptly
christened him "Mephisto."
But never in the daytime was the
cat seen. He slept in coal sheds, ate
wherever food was to be found, and
fought. When the old moon peeped
down upon the neighborhood and shed
soft shimmering rays along the house
tops the great cat crept forth and then
came the neighborhood excitement.
Various collections such as boot
jacks alarm clocks, old shoes, ink wells

But Monday saw the last great act
or the outlaw. Out on Eighth street
lived a little girl, a sWeet-faced, fair
haired youngster. and for her and her
only did "Mephisto" ever show any
love. Late Monday afternoon a strange
grey cat wandered into the little girls
home. The intruder fixed it's eyes on
the childs pet canary and started
slowly for it.
Frightened, the bird nuttered help
lessly about the cage, while the cat
crept slowly upon it. Then Mephisto
appeared. With d shrek of rage he
plunged toward the strange feline. 1t
was the first time he had ever struck
woman and his true heart revolted at

thought of the baby and dashed his
teeth into the soft grey fur.
over and over the cats rolled, fight
ing and chewing, until the woman of
the house appeared on the scene of
battle and with a quick stroke of a
broom handle sent both cats out into
the yard.
But 1t meant doom for Mephisto. The
cruel stroke of the handle broke his
right foreleg and he limped away and
craWled under IL shed and prepared for
death. He had been n good soldier and
many the cat he had sent to it's doom
and he looked at his hurt and knew
what the end must be.
Time after time the neighbors at

fractured bone but Mephisto refused to
have anything to do with them and
Saturday morning, when officer Zim-
mer Of the S. II. c. A. answered a call

cat was in horrible agony and the Off

TRAINING BOTH HANDS

From Harper's Weekly
An interesting discussion Is being
carried ON in England in connection
with the question of ambdcxterity,
there being n certain number Of ply
sicians and the psychologists who arc
recommending that the child should be
taught to use the left as well as Tire
right hand and with equal facility.
There are, however, those who advise
that the left hand should be used only
for left-handed motion, irasmuch as IL
is not an exact copy of the right, an1
must possess corresponding limitations.
While the advanced ambidextrists be-
lieve that I'm addition to it's ordinary
duties the left hand should be Taught
TO copy the movements of the right,
such as In ordinary writing. the mod

its limitations, the left hand should be
made to do on the left side similar
things. These, Of course, would he dorr

NORWEGIAN DEMOCRACY

From Golfers Weekly.
Norwegian democracy takes a divert
ing way OF eXpounding itself when IL
mingles royal titles with n modern
spirit in address. The English form is
to speak once to Edward as your
Majesty" and thereafter mark the
greatness of his place only by the
monosylabic Sir" A further strip
ping away of reverentinl verbiage. is
taken by the Norwegians when Your
Majesty gives place to "Mr. King F."
Assuredly there is nothing awe-ins pir-
ing in that address. 1t leaves one, at
least, no more under the spell of ma jes-
ty than "Mr President" 1t recognizes
the fact The inhabitants Of Norway
wished a king for reasons of policy,
not of social life. The frequency Of
declarations in this country that if the
NorwegianS were not prepared for q
bona-fide monarch with the trappings
and essentials of power, they should
have set up a republic show some pro-
vlncialism and imaginative failure to
grasp situation different from our
own.
