Fifth 4uenue Stage Helps to
,So7e Cat from Tree.

All lower Fifth avenue and Washing
TON Souare turned out yesterday after
noo, to watch the difficult rescue or
cat from the upper branches OF big elm
on the 11th street side of the Church OF
tho Ascension. The cat had been in the
tree for at least twenty-four hours, and
was hungry and cold when 1t was
brought down and taken to the shelter
OF the Society for the Prevention or
Cruelty to Animals.
The society learned yesterday of the
plight of the cat. and dispatched dog
catcher named Wolf, but when Wolf ar
rived at the scene he was unable TO set
a ladder long enough to reach the cat.
He was about to send in an alarm to
bring the Fire Department when Fifth
avenue auto stage passed, and an in
spiration struck him.
He stopped the stage and explained the
situation. The driver said il was against
the rules. but he guessed that rules did
not matter under the circumstances, so
he drove his stage under the overhang-
ing branches of the big tree, furnishing
Wolf with a platform from which, by
using his longest ladder. he was able TO
ascend and get the cat.
The crowd not only applauded Wolf
arms, but gave equally lusty cheers for
the auto bus driver, who had known
how TO rise above rules.
