waning interest why not then give Old
Black Joe little credit?
At first the value of Old Black Joe was
not thoroughly appreciated and there was
a stagehand (now in dsrepute) who would
persist in showing Joe the way out. Joe,
perforce, left the building, but as soon as he
saw his chance he was lin again." He
didn't seem to care whether he was fed or
not he always was able to get a mouse or
so. Miss Greenwood noticed Joe and would
bring him some cream from the hotel and

as fish heads. catnip and liver. Joe stuck"
and the good luck he had brought stayed

his mouse trophies for inspection to any

stage. Miss Greenwood, singing. was un-
aware of the eats presence. The audience
saw Joe, and the way he trotted to the
center of the stage made an impression. for
he seemed TO be doing something for which
he had been especially trained. The audience
roared as the cat got behind Miss Green

she knew he was there. Then, with dash,
he was on, He had dropped the mouse and

ran again TO the stage and the amusing
