Florence complied, just in time to
prevent one Of the young cats from

the basket and the rim of the cover,

And she added morosely: II amt

"She wants you to bathe 'em?"
Florence inquired, but Kitty Silver
did not reply directly. She breathed
audibly, with strange effect upon
vastly outward portions of her, and
then gave an incomparably dulcet
imitation of her own voice, as she
interpreted her use of it in the re-
cent interview.

BolIA To-
Docility was no element Of Mrs.
Silvers present mood, and Herbert's 8
hopeful eyes became blank as his
gaze wandered from her head to the
brown basket beside her. The basket
did not interest him; the ribbon gave
1t quality which at once almost
excluded 1t from his consciousness.
On the contrary, the ribbon had
drawn Florence's attention to it, and
she stared at the basket eagerly.
"What you got there, Kitty Sill
ver?" she asked.
"What got where7''
"In that basket"
"Nemmine what got n at bas-

added inconsistently: II dess wish

"Cats!" Florence cried. care there
cats in that basket, Kitty Silver?
Let's look at 'em!"
TTN HE lid Of the basket, lifted by
Il the eager, slim hand Of Miss
Atwater, rose to disclose two
cats Of an age slightly beyond kit
tenhood. They were Of a breed un-
familiar to Florence, and she did
not obey the impulse which usually
makes a girl seize upon any young
cat at sight and caress it. Instead
she looked at them with some per-
plexity, and after a moment in.

Florence frowned. "Well, I have
seen Persian cats plenty times,

cats were white, and these are kind

AT this Kitty Silver permitted her
self to utter an embittered laugh.
You wrong! she said. "These

'Well," said Florence, "wss Mr.
Sanders the one gave her these Per-
sian cats, Kitty Silver?"
~ reckon" Mrs. Silver hreathed
audibly again, and her expression
was strongly resentful. "When she

'FIt was Mr.. Clairdyce gave her

very much, and she didn't make any

florist to take it. Grandpa hates

"He dom hate 'em no wuss'n whut

asked quickly. "You don't need to

Florence added with increasing en-

"Neither have l." said Herbert. "I

Kitty Silver shifted. ''Ain't I SAYS
