SAVED THE KITTENS.

Many years ago two little girls
lived in a big white house in the
country. among trees and flowers,
cats and dogs, cows and chickens and
many horses. / don't mean that all
these animals lived In the house, too,
but they were near by in the barn
and stables, and. of course, the cats
and dogs were often in the house.
The old gray cat was very good natur
ed and the children loved her, es-
cially when she had a nice family of
kittens. But this happened so often,
three or four of them were always
carried away by the gardener and
drowned.
This made the children very sad.
for there could not be too many kit
tens for them to play with. but it
made the old mother cat still sadder,
and as she was very intelligent she
hit upon plan to save her new fam
lily.
While she was thinking it over, she
hid the tiny kittens in the depths of
the hay loft, so far in under the hay
that neither the grooms nor the chill
dren could find them, though they
thought they could hear a faint meow
sometimes, and the wonder was that
the babies could breathe.
Now, the father Of the children had
such a great big kind heart that not
only did every enc who knew him
love him dearly, but the animals
loved him also. How often he would
give poor pussy a nice saucer of milk
from the table and pat her gently.
and let her lie on the sofa beside him.
She knew well enough that he was
her friend. So one bright day when
the windows were all open, and the air
blew in gently full of sweet smells
from the garden, the master came in
and sat down in his long chair to
read, the Mistress Pussy knew her
time had come. Quickly she ran to
the stable, upstairs to the loft, and
grabbing one of her babies in her
uOWH
road, under the fence, half way round
the big house, till she came to the
window rear where the master was
sitting. With enc bound she was on
the sill. then jumped down into the
room and laid the little thing at his
feet, looking up at him in most be-
seeching way, and like a fash, she
was gone In this way she went back
and forth until she had brought all
FIVE, and there they lay in a wrig-
Cling little heap before the master.
He looked at her with his kindly smile
and said:
Poor Pussy, you have put them I'M
der my care and you may keep them
all; not one of them shall be killed"
So they grew I'D into big cats, but
all that summer they played happily
in the sunshine, and you may be sure
the two little girls had a good time
with them.-Margaret Jackson, in the
Washington Star.

SIR WILLIAM AND HIS FRANKS

SIR WILLIAM AND HIS FRANKS.
Sir William is my cat, and though
/ am sorry to have to say so, must
confess that he is a very naughty
cat indeed. In the first place, he
bites. He doesn't try to scratch you
when he is displeased with you-he
simply and Unexpectedly bites. His
second great fault is that he runs
away every week or so and gets lost,
and when We have quite given him up
and despaired of seeing him he strolls
serenely into the house again. But
his third fault is the worst. When
ever he finds any provisions on top
OF the refrigerator or on the kitchen
table he steals them and climbs away
up somewhere out Of reach and has a
picnic all by himself.
One of the worst instances OF his
bad behavior occurred only last Fri
day. He began by biting me and
then fled away over the fences to the
Jones house and sauntered into the
kitchen just as the cook was getting
large fish ready for dinner. Will
liam saw the fish and sprang upon the
table to seize 1t, but the cook was too
quick for him and chased him CT with
broom.
Upstairs ran William, pursued by
the indignant cook. At the head of
the stairs he met Duke, a cocker
spaniel, and. lodging him, dashed into
the dining room. where Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones were at dinner, and hid under
the sideboard. Duke few after him
and stuck his nose under the side
board. yelling and snuffing excitedly.
I'm get that cat out" said Mr..
Jones, getting his cane from the hall.
So he poked at William under the
sideboard and-broke his cane. He
was annoyed
"Stand by the door and stop him."
he cried to Mrs. Jones, while move
the sideboard."
Mrs. Jones. looking very determined,
blocked up the doorway. But when,
