A Home
For Harriet.
By FRANK H. WILLIAMS.
Copyrighted 1909. by Associated
Literary Press

Harriet was peculiar name for a
cat; but, then, Harriet was peculiar
cat. Roger Webster surveyed her
quizzically as she lay in the sun on the
boarding house steps.
Any feline but Harriet" he de-
clared, would at least feel mildly per-
turbed at the prospect of losing a home
and n mistress"
You'd think so. wouldn't your an
swered Bessie Roberts. Bessie was
very pretty and wholly charming, but
at the present time little frown of
anxiety wrinkled her forehead.
"a simply don't know what to do
about It," she continued. THE land
lady says that I've got to get rid of
Harriet. and l can't find any other
place so convenient to my work where
can live. | SUPPOSE suppose" she
added wistfully. that l shouldn't be
so foolish over Harriet, but in some
way she seems the only link between
today and the other life. With all my
people gone and Harriet some other
place In this big city I'd feel too aw-
fully, miscrably lonely"
Roger saw that Bessie was near
tears. Poor, lonesome kiddie," he
thought. And. leaning over, he stroked
Harriet very carefully. Harriet arch
ed her back, purred and rose slowly to
her feet. Then, turning round. she
jumped squarely into Rogers lap.
what a sensible cat! Roger smiled
at the girl You see. she likes me
very much. If only every one-that Is,
some one-liked me very, very much"
He glanced at the girl slyly. A little
flush had spread over Bessie's face,
and she kept her eyes fixed steadfastly
on the cat
'T only wish they allowed cats in
my boarding house." he continued.
'That's one of the troubles of living In
a boarding house-you don't get the
real, simon pure comforts Of home.
Now. I'll tell you what well do" he
cried. jumping to his feet. We'll take
Harriet with us and go on tour of
inspection in this neighborhood. Well

there are little cottages instead Of big
houses, and when we see nice.

"For us" queried the girl. with
little laugh.
"Sure," continued Roger. unabashed.
you don't think Harriet belongs to
you alone do you? think Harriet
would resent any such idea as that.
She likes me too well. and like her

The girl laughed and rose to her
feet.

Roger helped the girl down the
steps. and. calling to Harriet. they
walked down the street. Harriet. big.
sleek and black. followed decorously
enough until they reached a small.
rather obscure cross street.
Roger happened to be looking back
as they crossed this street and discov-
cred Harriet very sedately amblinS
down the little thoroughfare.
"Come here, Harriet" Roger called
and then whistled to the cat.
Harriet paid not the slightest atten-
ton. but continued her sedate walk
away from Roger and the girl. Bessie
called, but even to her Harriet paid
no attention.
"Well, / declarer' cried the girl in
surprise. Harriet has always been
peculiar. but she has never acted like
this before"
Lets follow her and see where she
goes" cried Roger. perhaps she is
looking for home or perhaps she has
home already picked OUT
"All right" said Bessie.
They turned back and fastened aft

fourth Of block ahead. The street
was quiet one. Neither Roger nor
Bessie was familiar with 1t and had
paid but little attention to 1t In previ-
GUS times
Now. however, they glanced curious
ly at the small, rather coy houses
which lined the sides. Although erect
ed within recent years, they were al
most old fashioned by comparison

Roger, with conviction.
For several blocks they followed

course. At last they saw the cat turn

The fence inclosed a coy little cot.

NUSBAUM IS CHOSEN
Was Elected to Succeed Him
self to Public School
Board.
MADE A SPLENDID RECORD

Because of .unfamiliarity with the
acts of 1906 which provide that
school trustees shall be elected in
June and take their position the fol-
lowing August, the election of Lee B.
Nusbaum to succeed himself was for
mally held again last evening, al
though council had elected him at the
regular meeting three weeks ago.
Councilman Wettig called the atten-
ton of this body to the irregularity
about its procedure in the matter and
moved that the minutes of the meet
the election of Mr.. Nusbaum be strick-
en- out. He then nominated Mr.. Nus
baum, councilman Williams seconding
the nomination. The nominations
were then closed and on motion Of
councilman Deuker his election was
made unanimous. His term is for a
period of three years.
Following the election of Mr. Nus
baum. communication from him was
read in which he thanked the council
for the honor bestowed upon him. He
has just completed his fourth term as
school trustee, holding the Office
longer than any other citizen who has
served in similar capacity. The
position was given Mr.. Nusbaum un-
solicited on his part and he felt great
ly cstnplimented. He has made a
splendid record as public official.

make up the deficit, as that board he's
plenty OF funds with which to do SO.
The place of the meeting OF the next
biennial synod will likely be decided
tomorrow afternoon. No particular
fight is now being waged for the next
meeting place. The Lutherans OF
Washington. D. c.. have sent an in
vitation to the delegates to assemble
there in 1911. and on account OF the
synod having been so far west as
Richmond this year. and on account OF
the desirability of Washington as q
convention city, it Is likely that the
nations capital may get the honor.
But none of the delegates appear to
be particularly concerned about the
next biennial synod, they are too busy
with the business Of this one, to look
elsewhere for source OF employment.

Endorsement to the proposed move

of bettering fire protection in the city
was given by the directors of the club
at their meeting last evening. An
other equally important matter consid-

ahead and endeavor to effect some
agreement between the railroad COM

The representative of the fire pro-
lection committee stated that the COM
mittee was working on q building code
for the city. All regulated cities have
such codes. but Richmond has not.
That there is a need OF 1t is shown by
some of the unsatisfactory improve

past.
The committee is Of the opinion that

to construct a building of fire trap
nature, along side of another building
which is as safe from destruction by
fire as possible. 1t grants that under
the present conditions the property
owners have a legal right to do this.
The company will endeavor to have an
ordinance passed which will embody

 And then-it seemed all in moment, and it was only minute or so-there they was, coming back, still striking and slashing and firing their pistols, and big crowds of Rooshans trying to surround them or get in front to head us off.
 And of course 1 started pack too, and so We went up the valley that we'd been a-charging down-all that was left of us all that was left
 As l went on I saw one of the cap tains-Captain Webb it was-lying on the ground, and there was two troopers try ing to help him. And one of them called to me. Lamb he says, cant you give Captain Webb a drink of water?
 Now. my water bottle was strapped to my saddle; we could carry our bottles that way if we wanted or strapped to ourselves, and always kept mine strapped to my saddle to keep my sword arm free
 "so hadn't any water, and there was Captain Webb, wounded and suffering. And afterwards he died, sir
 Well, I felt that of course I must get that water for the captain, and so 1 went back, picking my way over horses and men, looking for an unsmashed bottle.

There was enough for us both," he added naively.
 T got back to the captain. Men, leave me and save yourselves he was saying; but he felt better with the drink of water, and then the two troopers helped him to get ahead.
 And so we got back, what was left of us. I've heard the verses that called 1t that, and good soldier verses they are. Good soldier verses, just like galloping and slashing and the sound of guns. They got some of us on a stage you know. a few years ago at public benefit con- cert or show, and one of tho big aotrosses
