CATS FIGHT POLICE WHO
FIND BODY OF MISTRESS
Mysterious Telephone Call Causes Dis
covey of Aged Philadelphia
Woman's Death.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 12-Summoned
by a mysterious telephone call, the
author OF which they have been unable
to find. police OF the Twentieth and
Buttonwood station forced their way into
house at No. $40 North Sixteenth street
and found the body Of Sarah Lippincott
Starr. an aged recluse, in a squalid
room guarded by five savage cats, which
resisted the efforts OF the police to dis
turb the woman's body and which had
to be dubbed out OF the house.
In the faint light the body was found.
dressed in rags. roughly sewn together.
Victoria Lippincott Starr. sister of the
dead woman, who was out on an errand
when the police forced an entrance 10
her house. became angry when she re-
turned and saw what they had done.
She at first refused to allow them TO
carry the body from the house. but later
consented and told what she thought
had caused the death.
She said that a week ago while her
sister was sewing she pricked her finger
with the needle and that septicaemia set
in. Her hand and arm were both
swollen and discolored. The sister said
that the woman slipped from a couch
on which she was sleeping and that later
she fell down stairs. INJURIES resulting
from these falls are thought TO have
FASTENED her death
The sisters are Of an old Quaker fam
ily OF New Jersey. When their parents
died their proeprty was all left to them
and they had lived in comfort for sew
eraI years. after which they lest their
money. For the last twelve years they
were forced to occupy the small room
in the North Sixteenth street house.

When he had gone she went to her
room and took OF the gorgeous gown.
''Cinderelln after the ball. Samson shorn
of his glory" she thought. smiling al
most bitterly.
In the morning Miss Alymer sent for
the gown and Helen felt as IL a part OF
herself were shut up in the long box.
In the afternoon Miss Alymer came In

Could you make me another-a white one
by tomorrow night?"
She knew not why, but a little quiver
Of JOY ran through Helen at the decision.
When they had planned the new dress,
she asked casually what she should do
with the other gown. Upon the informa-
ton that she should never wear II, Helen
asked permission TO buy II to use rs a
model. and FASTENED to write a check for
the price named before her customer
should change her mind.
On the day following the ball. Nora

quarter, but he was not attentive and
seemed absent minded. What / came for.
Helen. is to beg a favor. Dine with US
tomorrow. Roger will be there and !
want you to meet"
To her delight. Helen accented, and on
the night OF the dinner appeared In the
golden apparel. a glittering figure from
the Jewel-tipped slipper to her head.
When Helen was presented to Roger
she met the same look Of alteration in
his eyes.
Then you really do exist?" he said as
they went in TO dinner. 81 feared you
might be in my dreams only"
The evening came to an end. and Helen
was sent home in Nora's limousine, Roger
accompanying her. She kept saying TO her
self. When l say good night l shall tell

p Her courage failed. and when he asked
her to ride the next afternoon with Nora
and himself, she accepted. She wore
riding habit OF brown and gold. The day
proved too perfect for any dlsagreesble
disclosures. She resolved to tell him the
next evening, as he had asked to call.
And shall go into battle without my
armor Of gold" she decided.
The next evening when she came into
the long, dark room in a simple muslin
of peach-blossom pink. he came to meet
her with the same illumined look in his
eyes. After a few preliminsries she cas-
ually referred to her occupation.
Yes; I knew" he replied indifferently.
Nora told you?" she asked.
NO: on the day OF the ball I called on
Miss Alymer to see what flowers she pre-
ferred. She was trying on her ball dress
and came down to receive me in Il. I was
startled at seeing that dress. There could

cited, and no one could think OF the right
thing to do, that was Just the time that
this one man could think best and act the
best. II made no difference what hap
pened, he could not be thrown of his
guard, his judgment was not crippled, he
was master of the situation.
1t is emergency that tests the strength

had struck a coral reef. Immediately be-

jolly time with the passengers and was
in the best Of spirits. They were just ap-
preaching a. beautiful island and every
body seemed happy; everything Was GO

gency the character test came. and the
captain was found wanting. He was all
right under ordinary circumstances, but
he did not have reserve force. His mind

went to his room and took his life.
Not passenger was lost in this acci-

Many young man owes his start in
life to his cool-headedness in a time of
excitement. But you can't have a level

Remember that some one is always
watching you, sizing you up. measuring
you by the quality of your acts. There
is nothing that will help you in getting
on so much as to form the habit OF al
ways using good sense and good judg-
ment in everything YOU do. Never allow
yourself to do a foolish thing. to make a
thoughtless mistake that any office boy
should be expected to avoid. Ask your

show him that I have good sense and
that I always try to use good judgment
in everything. There is nothing that an
employer appreciates more in an empIoye
