SATAN AND THE CAT.

Dear Little Men and Little Women; have a
bulldog whose name is Satan. His name suits him
very well, too. for he is SO mischievous. When
! got him he only pup. but he had already
learned how 10 chase cats Now. We had one or
our own. which had been the sole pet Of the house
until Satan arrived. and She did not Ike the idea
Of another pet especially as II was a dog She
showed her dislike in every way, and whenever
she got the chance would box his while he
in return would pull her tail. So they lived a
regular 'cat-and- deg life until day they had
a worse fight than usual after which puss left
the house in a very angry mood.
When she did not come home at night Satan
seemed restless. and hunted all over the house
for her. but without success. When she did not
return the following day Satan did not act like
himself He ate hardly anything and was not stu
A moment Just before going TO bed let him
out for his usual run. and when he did not come

He was nowhere to be found, although looked
everywhere, and had to go TO bed without find

The next morning ! awakened by Satan
barking at the door. / went down to let him in.
and who should ! find with him but our cat. He
had gone out to find and bring her home The best
