WHY HE ACTED QUEERLY.

A Rock Islander going up Seven
teenth street the other morning before
the cock had crowed noticed a negro
half block ahead of him. At Seventh
avenue the black man turned out to
cross the street diagonally. but sud
denly stopped, ran back toward the
curb, and began lodging about in a
most mystifying manner. His antics
aroused the curiosity of the lone wit
ness, who quickened his step to see
what was the matter, and on nearer
approach was able to solve the riddle.
harmless looking cat was coming
down the street. Evidently it had
started to cross the path of the negro
who, spurred by the superstitions of
his race. quickly resolved to ward off
this omen of i'll luck if possible, and
gave the feline a foot race. 1t was
perfectly plain that the negro had won,
but then it was not a fair test of speed
for the cat didn't have anything al
stake.

One evening this week stranger,

seen talking with certain other Woody

street and Second avenue. Finally the
session broke up, and the WOODY gent
first referred to hastily gathered up
his suitcase and guncase and started
up the avenue, evidently to go to the

up he evidently disturbed it's contents
