most softly, but the voice grew high

or, at least you left me alone in it,
How was that?" she asked grfmly.
And l described graphically my ex.
perience in the deserted building.
AS I proceeded with my tale an
amused look replaced the harsh lines
of suspicion on Mother Borton's face.
'Oh, my lud:" she cried with a
chuckle. "Oh, my lud! how very green
you are, my boy. Oh no! no ho!" And
then she laughed an inward, se1f-con-
suming laugh that called up anything
but the feeling of sympathetic mirth.
I'm glad it amuses you," l said
with injured dignity.
''Oh, my liver! Don't you see it
yet? Don't you see that you climbed
into the next house back and went
through on to the other street," And
she relapsed into her state of silent
merriment.
l felt foolish enough as the truth
flashed over me. l had lost my sense
OF direction in the strange house, and
had been deceived by the resemblance
of the ground nlan Of tho fvo huild
ings.
But what about the plot?" 1 asked.
Il got your note. It's very interesting.
What about it,"
What plot?'
why, don't know. The one you
wrote me about"
Mother Borton bent forward and
searched my face with her Keen
glance.
"Oh." she said at last, "the one l
wrote you about. I'D forgotten it."

TWO ANIMAL FRIENDS

A YOUNG lady once raised a pup
~ by and a kitten together. She
said they grew fond of each
other. They ate out of the same dish,
slept In the same bed; in short. were
inseparable. When they grew up the
dog was considerably larger than the
cat, but was always more gentle in his
treatment of her. If the cat was want
ed, and could not be found, 1t was only
necessary to say to the dog: go and
get kitty" and off he would trot to
find his playmate, soon bringing her
back in his mouth, as a mother cat
carries her kitten.
One day the dog jumped from a sec
ond-story window and broke his leg. A
more sympathetic and devoted nurse
than the cat would have been hard to
find. She would lie by the hour with
the dogs head resting on her paws, oc-
c~asionally licking his face as If to COM
fort him.
When he began to feel some better
she. took 1t upon herself to entertain
him, and kept the members of the
household ~convulsed with the comical
antics and capers hat she cut before
his bed in the hope of cheering his
fallen spirits.
