SALESMAN IN COURT.

Miss Madeleine Train. q vaudeville
hdy, was returning TO her homo in
the Fort Washington Apartments At
No. Q Fort Washington place at one
o'clock in the morning. A gentleman
friend was escortins her. She was
murmuring her regret that It was too
late to ask him to como In.
From the back of the apartments
rose q terrific shout. II seemed to
come from the window under her
own kitchen window on the fourth
floor. which overlooks Broadway. A
moment later there was q frightful
screech. and outlined against the
street lights she saw the form Of her
own precious Angora, Prince Jan,
hurling through the night with tail
extended and clawing the air. Tho
cat disappeared into the rear area
way.
This was Monday morning. From
then until now there has been war in
.4he Washington Heights apartments.
II 10 not q war which can DO medi-
ated. Magistrate McQuade tried II
to-day in Harlem Court and failed
dismally.
And even II the villain had been
!. sent to prison." said the fair Made
Npine. 1T would not bring my darling
back"
j. For Prince Jan Is gone. His mis-
tress has not seen him since he
1ashed past her in the night. She
began 4 search Of the areaway and
the cellar and tho neighborhood and
asked and received the aid Of the
police. II Prince Jan II still living
BE- IL living elsewhere and must
have gone there rapidly.
James r. Warsaw, . drug sales
man. lives In the apartment above
tAese Of the actress. It was from
his are escape that the cat cannoned
into the unknown. BY police advice
Miss Train had Mr.. Warsaw sum-
monsd before Magistrate McQuade.
, II know nothing Of the cat" the
drug man assured the Court. II did
not know the lady owned q cat. My
knowledge Of the matter Is simply
this:
"Eariy Monday morning. at about
I o'clock. I think. was walked by a
strange noise at the kitchen window.
! slipped out Of bed. was sure II
~as . burglar. / thought I saw his
head moving above the window sill
! rushed at the window. threw 1t open
and yelled, hoping to attract . po-
liceman's attention a. the burglar
climbed down. But there was no
Ibursiar in sight.
Il looked down In the areaway and
there was . cat walking toward the
csllar door. 1t never occurred to me
that the cat had been On my IRE es-
cape and had jumped until was
served with this summons"
Miss Train eyed him with disfavor
versing ON hatred and with open un-
ballet
The cat did not jump" sine said
THE poor thing was too intelligent.
He was hurled brutally. And who else
could have done itT'
The Magistrate observed that the law
did not deal In speculation. and there
was not enough evidence to hold the
drug salesman. who volunteered the
Information that he was member Of
the New York League for Animals and
ono Of the busiest promoters Of the an
oual workhorse parade.
But as Miss Train observes that
does not get Prince Jan back for her
and she Just hates a man who could
be 20 brutal as even to frighten a
Door dear pussy of fire escape by
unearthly yelling In the middle Of the
night. She thinks but little Of a per-
BON who could mistake her nuffy dar-
ling for q horrid burglar and-well.
she may hire a detective to md out
ill about It.
