CAT RECOGNIZED A FRIEND
And Man Wants to Know How He Did
It II II Was Not by Power
Of Sight.

There be those" said a nature
do not recognize people they are asso-
ciated with by their sense Of sight.
And maybe they are right am no ex-
pert faunalist-but l wish to state a
fact of which l am personally cogniz-
ant and which pertains to the subject
under discussion.
Yesterday morning after l had
breakfasted around the corner | ap-
preached the house where lodge and
from some distance l observed our
large black cat, Bill, sitting on the
front steps before the closed door. 1t
was evident to me, and am panied to
make the statement that Bill had been
out all night.
Several persons passed as he sat
there before | came within range of
his vision, but he gave no sign to them
what he was there for. He did not see
me until / was within forty feet of
him, so intently was he studying those
nearer, but the instant he saw me he
came running to meet me, rubbing
against my legs and showing other in
dications of his pleasure in meeting a
real friend in need. Then he dashed
ahead and was at the door when l got
to it.
Once inside he had no further use
for me and scurried away toward the
kitchen. Cats have no power of scent,
believe, so he didn't nose me out of
the crowd of unfamiliars passing be-
fore him. This being true, how did
Bill know me except by sight?"

ton shown me by the girls manner.
l promised to try, and that was all
I could promise. The chance of
saving the young man from the chair
seemed enthusiastically small.
1t was proved at the trial that
Thornton had suddenly come home to
plead for forgiveness. There had
been an angry interview between him
and his uncle. The negro butler.
Washington, was emphatic on this
point, and added that he had heard
the nephew threaten the old man.
An hour later a shot had been heard.
Washington, who occupied rebuilt
cabin seven hundred yards from the
house, had run out, and had encoun-
tered Ellis in the library, and they
found Garrett dying from bullet
wound in the throat. The colonel
lived just long enough to say that he
was sure Thornton was his murderer.
However, under examination the
negro admitted that the colonel had
not seen the man who shot him.
Thornton was arrested the same
night in the lodging house where he
was staying. Now came a series of
damning facts which clinched the stu
alton in the opinion of all reasoning
minds.
The cabin occupied by the negro
was seven hundred yards from the
house. Behind it was a clump of
dense trees, little to one side of the
compact little building. A bee line
from the library window, grazing the
cabin wall, led to large oak tree,
eight hundred yards from where Gar
rett had sat at his table. Fixed firmly
by clamps against the side of the oak
tree was a rife, trained upon the col
onel's house. 1t was immovable, and
was SO we'll concealed in the under
brush that II had been discovered
only by the merest accident. Ellis
Tomlinson had found II.
Ellis gave testimony at the trial to
the fact that when they were boys he
and his cousin had played in the
grove and had made investigations
into the ballistic properties of small
arms. The Judge and jury adjourned
to the spot, bullet was inserted in
the rifle, and, when discharged, it
hardly varied by two inches in its
course from the flight presumably
made by the ball that killed Garrett.
What further evidence was needed?
The jury found Thornton guilty-and
here stood Janet Clifford, telling me
that her lover was a wronged man,
and that the guilty man was Ellis.
| started upon my investigation
with heavy heart, but | knew that
women do possess a certain instinct
in such matters, and. while l could
find no decisive clue, I did come upon
certain suspicious circumstances /

"Mr. Heard. you must save John
Thornton's life. He is Innocent"
I looked at the young woman who
stood before me in my office, her
hands clasped, the tears streaming
down her cheeks. My first thought
was that 1t is just such scamps as
Thornton who find such women as
Janet Clifford to believe in them.
My second was a desire to help her
in any way that was possible. But
the murder of old Colonel Garrett had
stirred the blood of everyone, and
threats of lynching had been openly
made.
The verdict had been rendered
within fifteen minutes Of the jury's re-
tirement, and the case seemed to
have been proved to the hilt. Thomas
Garrett had been the wealthiest man
for miles around. He had been a
slave-owner before the war. and he
had saved enough out of the wreck
to enable him to amass huge fortune
