One day shortly after her kittens

Instead of pouncing upon it cat fash

box where she had so recently moth

slowed upon the squirrel all the afrec-

kittens.
Stranger still, says a writer in

hours the old cat had hunted out the
squirrels nest in the tree some dis
tance away and carried the remainder
OF the young squirrels in her mouth.

Then until the squirrels were nearly
full grown the cat watched over them
with all the solicitude that is possible
for any animal mother to show, even
providing nourishment for them in ex-

Tor her own young. When the squir
rels had outgrown a mothers atten.
