foot upon the wet pavement than most
piteous me-ew-ow" assailed her ears.
A black kitten, tiny, wet, bedraggled,
lost, wholly forlorn, appeared in the win
dow-glare, running few steps this way and
that in bewildered fashion to avoid the
careless feet Of passers-by.
"Kitty, kitty!" called Miss Mackan in
fute-y contralto.
The kitten fed to the wall, Miss Mackan
pursued, captured the runaway, and re-
turned, holding its cold little body and its
dirty little feet against the soft warmth of
her new pony coat.

He was very fastidious.
"What of.it?" replied Miss Mackan II

She nodded to the head-waiter, and he
with the affability of long acquaintance
and generous tips, led them to the usual
table. Besides, men always bestirred them
selves when Miss Mackan bent her merry
eyes upon them and smiled that slow, dew
astating, gently sophisticated little smile
The wholly sophisticated smile is never
entirely bewitching, but Miss Mackan's
seemed to say, ooh, yes, know just lots
of things. Yet still have faith and can

The waiter at their table pulled out her
chair for her, shaking his head with smiling
disapproval at sight Of the kitten, clinging

and noise.

Tyler was not especially fond of cats,
ssbut he was used to Miss Mackan, SO he bore
the situation with a smile. The cream
brought, the saucer was set against the
wall, the kitten put down to it, and Miss
Mackan, having removed her coat, spread
her skirt protectingly about the kitten at
its feast, dipped her hands in fnger-bowl
prepared by the thoughtful Johnny, and
finally smiled across reassuringly at Mr..
Tyler.
He summed himself moment in that
