A certain family living in one of the

of which they were very fond. When
they went away for the summer it was
decided after various consultations to
leave the kitten with the butcher, on
condition that he should treat it with
the greatest kindness and give it
about pound of meat week, besides
it's daily allotment of cream
Some weeks after the family had
closed the house for the summer the
nominal head of the family visited the
suburb to attend to some business
matters and decided that he might as

He found the kitten curled up in

strained to call the attention of the
butcher to the fact.

butcher
