she had left him by the way. Finding
that his charms had won an entrance
at The Lilacs, he Immediately looked
about for mischief and found that he

meek and serious Moses he showed
nothing but courtesy and kindness.

Tabby was the only pet successful in

superior intelligence he paid generous
tribute. She was a barn a who slept
on the back of a COW. A particular
episode In Tabby's life made her repu-

r F the doors of communication be-
tween cats and human beings
ever swing open certain It Is that
they close again quickly and lucid mo-
ments pass without galvanizing the
brain. Reports Of the understanding
by animals of something said in their
presence are too authentic to be disre-
earded. too frequent to be dismissed
a. coincidence.
One day some one announced at The
Lilacs that the black one of Tubby's
kittens must be killed, %whereupon that
kitten disappeared. Tabby had hidden
It. When "a gun was loaded to shoot
Bigfoot nothing was said in his pres
ence. but he passed through space a
gray streak. and was not seen again
until the fishbone In his Jaw which had
puzzled us and made us fear for our
safety had come out n rapid recov-
cry had set In. He returned sane and
respectable, sure OF a hearty welcome.
In this instance there were no spoken
words, and h cat must have OWNED
Q deadly purpose against his life
through an instinct for self-preserva-
ton. something like the instinct thai
guides birds in their migrations. 1t Is
doubtless the purpose. and not words,
which animals understand.
Feline intelligence Is not so nearly
In touch with human thought as is
that Of horses. but neither man nor any
other animal has more individuality
than the cat. Individuality. curiosity,
cunning, ~elusiveness, superiority, these
are her characteristics. She Is an un-
canny beast In making dupes OF the
human race to get milk and soft cush-
ions. For these comforts she submits
to domestic slavery. a consummate
hypocrite: but not needing anything
Of you, she is your superior, wilful and
independent. A dog may be a meek
and faithful friend, considering the in
terests OF his master and sometimes
following yer to death; but a cat can
be only an amusing plaything who
leads-you follow.
The collection Of cats at The Lilacs
contains historic types, from Moses,
