apparent purpose other than that Of
inviting Tom Satan's companionship.
He even made his way with series
OF little purring meows to the rivers

of the water he withdrew the dripping

tree from which hung the tantalizing
grapevine, and, with the cautious
tread of a rope-walker, clawed his
way out over the dead bough, stopping
every now and then-as the branch
bent beneath his weight-to give
reass,lring meow.

dead branch and the grapevine feas-
ible, and the end desirable. But what
might have been the outcome of these
maneuvers will remain forever uncer.

into coign of safety in fork of the
tree branch, proceeded, after the in.

make vigorous toilet.
