Sothern's Hamlet has mellowed and

4 DOG and Cat Fight and an Audience In
klmonos on Fire Escapes.
The rear OF a house on the upper West
Side looks out on a little yard in which
there are a grass plot. a clothes line.

pup. The occupant Of the house is an
actor who once played Svengdli 80 sue

The rear Of the house back OF II also
looks out upon the little yard, its bushes,
the clothes line and the bull pup. There
is a fire escape for each apartment OF
this building. As the building has Ave
apartments it follows that there are five

To 60 back to the home of the actor.
The yard is enclosed by a very high fence,
but the fence is not too high for stray cats.
The more inaccessible a carpenter tries
to make a fence the easier it Ia for cats,
On the top Of the fence Of Spenodh a

and full Of meows,
Whether a bone in the yard attracted
the kittens attention or whether it was a
case Of cussedness such as every cat
has at times will never be known; but
it wasn't happy. the kitten wasn't, until
it got into the yard.
The bull pup Of Sren9oli was asleep on
the stoop. Tho kitten meaudered I'M
suspectingly under the bushes that had
put on their first green spring attire.
A servant spied the feline invader. The
way in which she said Scat" was like the
letting of OF a Fourth Of July cracker.
That was enough for the bull pup. He
sprang forth from his siesta as il he had
been propelled by a catapult. The first

The kitten manpuvred so that it got

grass and barked and yowled until the
servant rushed TO his assistance with
her dustpan and broom and beat the
bush. Out jumped the kitten.
sic emf said the servant.
That was where the dog and the cat
got together. They rolled and whine
and Missed. Aided and allotted by the
servant the bull pup got the better OF
the scrimmage. 1t is due the kitten to
say that it wal not in fighting weight.
The pup was at his best. for he had been
living on the fat Of the land.
In the storm OF noise several occu-
pants of the building with fire escape
alta chments came forth. 1t was at the
hour when women have theiE hair in curl
papers and wear kimonos Of different
patterns. II you have ever got a glimpse
Of a clothes line on Monday you know
that there are no two kimonos that look
as if made in the same country.
Let your inauguration in its oalmest
moment contemplate five women in curl
papers and kimonos standing on five fire
escapes all yelling at a servant in a yard
The dog in such a case thinks that he is
being encored. That ia what the Seen
pdli pup thought. or 30 he acted.
1t will never be known what the kitten
thought. A cat is like a woman-the
more trouble it has or hand the more
il believes it has.
One woman yelled to the servant that
II she didn't take Of the dog she would
call the police. Funny how the mention
of the police will make a servant act as
II she had st. Vitus's waltz. The servant
in question screamed.
The scream reached Srenodii. who
was in his hammock, and down he came

dog fight on one side and Ave highly
kimonoed curl papered on five
fire escapes on the other side, with an e1-
cited servant on the rim. make a crazy
quilt look like a second hand dishrag just
out Of the pan,
Srengoii lifted up his great eyes to the
five fire escapes and Kissed. What's the
matter with you women
Five women in kimonos replied in stage
unison: Take that pup OF yours away
from that kitty
just then the kitten gave up the fight
One Of its lives passed out and it stretched
its form on the sward. Spen2di placed
his hands on his hips INC surveyed the
field. He called of his dog, but what was
the use; Thedog hadn't anything more
to do anyhow.
Then Srongaii raised his great eyes
toward the five fire escapes, kimono
, dressed, The LOOK in his eyes was like that
which he turned on Trii6y when he told
her the audience was calling for her to
respond,
One woman on the fire escape shouted
to another. That's %Srengoi." The word
ran from fire escape to Are escape until
Ave kimonoed women stood transfixed
for a moment. Then there was a combined
scamper TO the various apartments,
Down banged five window sashes.
SrongrH ooS his pup and slowly sought
the quiet and ease OF his domicile. The
servant took the body Of the kitten and
threw it over into the next yard, Of the
people who are out Of town.
Five dinners in the fire escape equipped
building were late that day as five heads
of households sat and listened to Ave
tales of the fight between Srenqdh's bull
pup and a starved kitten. and five oaths
were recorded that il Sren0ati ever played
again in this town there would be Ave
boycotts on the play. If not more.
