FRIENDSHIP A STRANGE ONE
Cat and Duck Are Chums, According
to Story That Comes from
England.

We have had the usual crop of curl
osities as to nesting places and strange
families adopted by birds and animals,
but nothing more diverting than fell
lowship which exists between a Ger.
tain ample "mouser" and a duck of
gooselike proportions.
Puss waits by the side of the pond
in which the duck takes its bath, then
the two retire in company to the shade
of the trees and lie down in amity.
How the cat tolerates the wet feath-
ers of its comrade is mystery; but
there they lie, the duck with one of
its wings spread as shield over the
cat, the tail of the latter curled like a
very smart boa about the neck of its
feathered friend.
So long as the worm keeps beneath
the turf and songsters do not stoop too
low in the air the idyl lasts, and all
local life wonders.

Conductor Has Reward Coming.

The combination of strike, rain and
crowded surface cars has been hard
on women and children who must
travel up and down town. A mite of
a girl stood in the rain at Thirty-third
street and Broadway for more than an
hour on Wednesday night, trying to
get a car up town. Finally blockade
caused a car to stop near her. The
conductor was on the rear PLATFORM
so hemmed in that he had not collect
ed a fare for twenty minutes.

crying "Tll give you a dollar If you'll
let me on"
The conductor grasped the roof OF
the car, pulled himself up and, stand
ing on the dashboard, lifted the weep

made vacant. Then he transferred
nickel from his trousers pocket to the
coat pocket where he kept the com.
panys money.

Don't stand there talking about it.,
but do it."
II WILL" said Policeman Flynn, but
he intended it only as a threat.
We'll, why don't you?" was the
haunting response
The man was one of the aggressively
troublesome fellows who think they
know all about individual liberty.
81 WILL" said Policeman Flynn again,
and he took the man by the shoulder.
"Niver will it be said that amy wan
on me beat can talk ba-ack to me-"
There spoke the new policeman who
makes work for himself; the older
ones are never so foolish.
will we go quiet-like or will l
ta-ake club to ye?" inquired the po-
liceman, as he frightened his grip on
the mans coat.
"Oh, I'll go along all right" an
dropping in on the sergeant anyway,
and Wen just go together. I haven't
seen him in almost year"
Policeman Flynn hesitated. Men
who want to see the sergeant are a
rarity, and there is always chance
that they have some "infioo'nce" at
headquarters

I'll Fave ye go" he suggested.
But won't" asserted the man.
I'm under arrest and I'm going to the
station. If I've violated the law, you
have no right to compromise the mat
ter with me-it's your duty to lock me
up"
This sounded to Policeman Flynn
like a bluff" and he fastened to
"call' it.
Come on, thin!" he exclaimed. I'll
put we behind tn ba-ars fast enough,
an if We don't come willin' I'll ca-all

Nevertheless, he wasn't exactly sat
isfied. The prisoner was too willing,
and it is extremely disconcerting to
have charge of a man who wants to be
arrested. man in the strong grasp
of the law ought TO hold back and
change his tone. 1t began TO dawn on
Policeman Flynn before they had gone
a block that perhaps the man was not
"bluffing" after all. So he stopped
short and released him.
"G'wan, now!" he said. "I'll not be
bothered with ye any more. Gwan
home!"
81 won't" answered the man. I'm
your prisoner, ami If you connive at
the escape of fellow you've placed
under arrest I'll prefer charges against
you. I'm going with you"
"YeIl be sorry ;'r it." suggested Po-
liceman Flynn. "Ye'll find no feather
beds at tn station, an there do be
r-rats in tn cells
I'm taking my chances" returned
the man. Come on!"

his turn. What cha-arge w'u'd

man.
"If ye'd been ray-sistin an officer

marked Madame Riefet, that Gen.
Jackson should now be trusting so

last September, were denounced by
him. as we'll as by every one else"
The general laughed.
"Well-yes. In September they were

december they are privateers, and
their leaders are gentlemen. Yet

fellows and tremendous fighters, and

general said animatedly, How could
