tens. Four of the kittens were
drowned, Dick being the only one
spared, But the mother cat ruth
lessly abandoned him. and little Dick
was wasting to nothing. unable TO
stand on his feet. and almost dead,
while Nell, the fox terrier, was griev-
ing over her dead puppies. A few
mornings later Mrs. Janet Harrison,
Mr.. Wright's mother, passed the box
under the kitchen table, in which
Nell's pups were born and died. She
heard Nell growl, and wondered at II.
Peering into the box she saw Nell,
stretched out in the box, with little
ball OF fur snuggled up to her. 1t was
Dick, the kitten, which had found a
new mother.
All of Nelrs affection turned toward
the little abandoned kitten. Dick
grew rapidly, and today Is about as
lively and bright a kitten as one could
find. He Is never more than few
feet from his adopted mother. and
when one calls Nell. Dick always
comes scampering along.
One day, after. Dick had grown
strong and well, under the careful
nursing Of his dog-mother, his real
mother sauntered back to the house.
Nell went after the cat with all the
fury OF she-wolf. and the cat fed.
Every time 1t appeared near the
house Nell chased 1t, ready to tear 1t
TO pieces, and the cat has left home,
permanently.
Nell looks on approvingly whenever
little Dick has a romp with Tim, the
fine big son of his adopted mother.
Tim mauls Dick in hearty fashion,
rolling him over and mounting him,
but II he gets too rough Dick needs
only to "meouw" a little to get ces-
sation OF "hostilities."
