stopped, turned around and retreated
till IL came 10 another board fence that
Joined at right angles the one they
were on. The cat stepped OF on this
fence and waited there TIL the other
went by. My friend thought this act
showed an appreciation Of the problem
beyond the reach of instinct. No doubt
those cats had met before, and one
was master Of the other. What more
natural than that the defeated cat
should retreat before the superior ana
when Il came 10 the other fence step
off upon II and let the victor pass?
The action involved no mental process
ary more than when two inert bodies
IN motion meet each other and one
c,ves way. There was no other course
open to the cat If she or he had
turned back and taken to the side
fence solely TO accommodate the other
cat why. that were another matter.
The Gordon setter that met train
of cars upon a railroad bridge and
slammed down upon one OF the tmberS
of the bridge and stood there while
the train passed gave no proof OF rea-
sonlng powers. II was the only thins
the dog could do. Nearly all animals
know enough to get out the way Of
danger. II they did not, what would
become OF the race Of animalsf-Jonn
