understands the human language. That

he would drown them. Neither noticed
the cat was in the room. Shortly after .
ward the two men went out driving.
When they were gone Lucy climbed q
picket fence, and took her baby int
the cellar of William Tentzloff's home,

Tentzloff watched her until she had
moved all six kittens to a pile Of Old

Bush returned from their drive. Lucy

caused the delay. The doctor called her
to him and petted her.

In little while she returned with a
black kitten in her mouth. She did no;
