BY MAUD WALKER.

MA OBERT was not q boy. Neither
cat He was not an ordinary feline,
n but very heightened, well-born one.
He was as slick as a diet of raw
eggs, rich sweet milk and dainty bits of
fish could make him. And he had brush
ings and brushings every day and every
day. Sometimes Robert wondered II his
beautiful fur would not all be brushed
Off, he was brushed and brushed so much
But Robert did not hate being brushed
half so much as he hated being kissed
and caressed by the old Indy who owned
him. Had his mistress been little CIR!
or even boy. and BAD boy at that
he could have endured life as he lived
1t lin a fashionable house, with less of
WEAKNESS and discomfort than he did.
But each day brought new cause for dis
content to Robert, for with each day cat
nature developed amazingly, and the old
lady became more and more Objectionable
to him. Sometimes he scratched her, for
which behavior she would give him gen.
tie slaps, slaps that only irritated him
more and more.
One day Robert lay on the green grass
in the yard back of the fine big house
where he lived, For some reason I'M
known to him the old lady had allowed
him out of her sight longer than usual
this morning. She may have had callers
or she may have been out shopping. But
she was not out riding in her basket

Robert was taken along, being held In
the old lady's fat arms or stuffy lap
But on this morning Robert was alone
And the feeling was so sweet that he lay
and purred gently to himself. Then some
thing happened that changed the whole
plan Of his life A great green grasshop-
per hoped his way. Cat instinct told
Robert to catch the hopper. He leaped
about trying to lay paws on the active
insect, but the little sprightly hopper was
too watchful for Robert, and led him 4
merry chase. At last 1t hoped right
into the thick hedge which bordered the
grounds of Roberts mistress home. Then
1t hoped into the sunny open space be-
yond the hedge. Robert was all excite
ment from the chase.the first time he
had ever gone after prey land he de-
cided to follow, If following were pos
sibe, So he hunted about for an OPEN

his going through. Pretty soon he found
it, and into the yard of another house
he went, still pursuing the green grass

and also appeared to be fond of leading

him, for since his earliest Eittenhood he

life. He was Real cat. hunting wild
things-or thing--for he still ran and
jumped after the grasshopper.
Thus an hour went by and Robert
found himself in wild wood where birds
filed the trees and where squirrels ran
hither and thither. Now he was In bis
glory and forgot the grasshopper that had

quaintance of one of them, as much as
he should have liked to do so.
The next day in the woods passed in

At first Robert (being still n youthful

and not at all inclined to be friendly.
Ills first introduction to another cat was
on the evening Of his return to town. He
scented out Il garbage barrel in an alley
that was the ideal home for stray cats
and dogs for 1t was entirely unkept and
held numerous garbage barrels and cans,
besides old bits of bone and bread thrown
from windows overlooking 1t. Robert fol-
lowed the lead of his nose and ap-
preached the garbage barrel. Yes, there
was food such as his long trained appe-
title called for-there were some bits of
old fried fish. Robert was on the point

of dragging forth n piece of this fish
when he heard a fierce growl and look

enough to be his father. "Get out. in

ert quickly obeyed, for instinct told him
he would be safer a few feet away from
the claws and teeth of the old cat than
he was at present. But the pangs of
hunger, sharpened by the smell of the
fish, made him dare to approach second
time toward the barrel. This time the
old cat did not warn him by growl,
but leaped upon him, biting his ears and
scratching his eyes.
Now, there was none of the coward In
Robert. and though he had never engaged
in n fight before, he entered into this
conflict with all the enthusiasm and de-
termination of youth. And being SO young
and strong, and really enjoying the first
taste of battle. he got the better Of his
antagonist within Il few minutes and had
the satisfaction of seeing him run off,
tail tucked, toward an old clubhouse down
the alley.
All. now Robert knew what 1t meant
to fight in self-defense and for the right
due decent cat-the right to eat unmo-
Tested from any garbage barrel in the
alley And from that hour Robert be-
came a veritable warrior, never showing
the white feather In any case. He learned
to fight not only his own kind, but dogs

life he was the king Tom of the Alley

think 1t is in the corner
"Although Nita felt ashamed of having
tried to deceive old Granny, she never
theless got the old ladys stick for her,
for she was too anxious to get back to her
dolls to run to the spring and get the
water.
after her aged grandmother had hob
bled to the spring for a drink, Nita sat
down on the big back porch to play with
her dolls. She sat busily sewing on a
little frock for one of her dollies, n pretty
pink silk Ia remnant her mamma had
bought for the purpose) to be trimmed in
white lace. After a few minutes had
passed away she heard her grandmother's
voice calling to her. 'Nita! Nita, dear!
Please come at once to Granny!'
"The old ladys voice being somewhat
excited and imperative, Nita threw down
her work impatiently and went slowly
into the house to ascertain her grand
mothers wants. She's such a bother
she said to herself. oh, why must an
old lady want SO much waiting on2'
Then, entering her grandmother's room
she asked In rather an impatient voice:
We'll, what is it now, GrannyF
81 feel so faint, child, that l want
you to fetch me the camphor bottle.
You'll find it on the top shelf In the
closet of my room. Will you fetch 1t
quickly, dearie? l am so faint
"Nita went upstairs, but not as quickly
as she might have done. Took her time
for getting the camphor bottle, returned
leisurely to her grandmother, put the
bottle on the table beside her and start
ed to go to her play again. Please,
dearie,' said Granny feebly, pour a little
camphor In that glass Of water there on
the table and hand 1t to me. 1t was the
exertion of going down the steps to the
spring, and up them again, that caused
this sudden weakness. Oh, dear child. 1t
is so hard to become as feeble as l am,
and to be obliged to ask other folks to
wait on me- And the poor old lady
wiped a teardrop from her almost sight
less eye.
'Nita dropped some camphor into the
glass, roughly handed 1t to her grand
mother without a single word of sympa-
thy and returned Immediately to her
playthings But to her surprise the pink

Nita of herself. And to her surprise a
voice answered her:

but seeing no one.

.Nita sat with bowed face for she felt
very guilty indeed. Aud she knew she
deserved just such punishment as the
fairy was inflcting on her. But while
she sat there head bent so that her curls
hid her face, sudden paroxysm Of pain
in her stomach doubled her up. oh, oh,
obj she cried, holding her sides.
"'Shal l fetch you some camphorT
asked the fairy voice ironically.
''Oh, please do.' begged Nita. Then
she remembered how she had behaved
when her old grandmother had begged
for the camphor bottle how impatient
she had become and how slowly she had
gone to fetch the bottle. oh. l know
why l have this painr walled Nita. It's
because l behaved SO badly toward poor
old Granny. oh, l was so naughty, so
naughty! Then she began to cry aloud
from the severe cramps In her stomach.
Old Granny overheard her walls and
came limping to the porch to inquire into
the cause. She was leaning heavily on
her stick and seemed quite too feeble to
be on her feet; but her anxiety for Mia
caused her to forget her own suffering
and to come to minister to the child's
wants. oh. dearfe. what Is the matterT
asked the old lady.
Suddenly the fairy caused q terrible

place. He did not know that he nad left
the town and entered the woods that
hordered a great river and beyond Which
lay long chain of high hills, wild and
full of small animals. Aad over this
river stretched a bridge approached by
country road.
Robert wandered about in tho woods
most of the afternoon, and getting hun

Getting thirsty Robert went to the river
and drank from 1t. This feas was rather
a difficult one, and twice Robert almost

learned many things that afternoon,

instead of being lonely, felt the keenest
enjoyment of his surroundings. How hap
Ply he was to be free! All, now he could
prowl about, seeming for live crea tures
that might be his enemies or prove to
be his prey. Now he could nap on bed
of soft dry leaves, ever so softly. as Is
the manner of a cat. But not for one
moment did he long to return TO the
house where the old lady reigned SUI

desire for his own kind. Not that he
