He lied, and he knew he lied, and
he knew the girl knew he lied. but
what other way was left him? He saw
a smile in her eye as he concluded, and
the smile broadened as he was advised
to wait until his tabby had actually
disappeared. Then, if a homeless cat
with whose looks he was pleased hap
pened to be on hand, his case would
receive consideration.
There was no fee in the case, and
yet the lawyer took it up with the
greatest energy He called next day
to leave name and address. He called
the day after to announce that his
Persian cat was still with him. The
day after that it was to say that he
had book on cats and that he would
be only too happy to lend it to the
institution. Then one day elapsed with
out a call. An excuse was hunted for
in vain. The next call was very inn
portant one. Mr.. Winwood had been
talking with doctor, and the doctor
had told him that cats were as liable
to rabies as dogs. Was Miss Castle
aware of the fact? Was she prepared
to risk her life to receive some old cat
that was better dead in the gutter?
And then Mr.. Winwood took to
dropping in and saying nothing what
ever about cats, but talking of the
theatre and books and Paris and Lon
don. He hadn't lost all interest in
cats, but they could wait. And some
how or other he got to calling at the
house, and by and by the day came
when Miss Alleen had to say to her
father:
Did tell you I had closed the cat
home %
BLESS you, I didn't know you had
ever opened one! How did you come
out?''
