 ''Shep, you old hasca1, why didn't you come when I called you? Come | here, this minute!" and she peered 1 out into the darkness, but saw no Shep- Well, I declare. that dog | acts too queer for any use tonight. l One would almost think he had been 1 killing sheep and was afraid to show l his face"
 All this time poor Shep was trying frantically to get out of the stabl. 1 where he had been accid enta1ly shut 1 in. He could hear his mistress call 1 ing and though he parked in answer, she did not hear him. To add to his discomfort, a little later the old house cat came wandering toward the barn, licking her chops in satisfaction after making a supper of chicken legs and bread and gravy Though the stable doors were all locked, she had no difficulty in get ting in. There was hole big enough for her to crawl through right in the corner of the front door
 When the cat entered the stable she told Shep how two men had eat en hlS supper; also what she had heard them say while she sat in the tree directly over their heads.
 You better go tell that big black heard them say"
 Presently in the enclosed stable yard you could have seen a big cat striped like a tiger, talking to a large. black one, while a beautiful shepherd dog, a little stubby- tailed, yellow dog, a Billy goat and a long-eared burro stood listening.
 "The tramps you have seen hero are our kidnapers,' said Billy, "who have followed us, Isn't there some hole or old door by which we can escape?"
 None that is not locked or bar red replied the striped cat. T don't care if they are locked or barred" said Billy, Eff they are only hinges, so I can butt them down" ''I had forgotten that goats have such strong heads," said the shep- herd dog. Come with me, and will show you an old, low door at the back of the stable through which you can make" your escape nicely. as no one can see you from the house.
 A few minutes later anyone pass ing would have heard a resounding bang as if a heavy sledge- hammer had hit something. (Thtngs general ly did sound that way when Billy hutted them. Then all was still But under the apple trees could have been seen quite a little procession, consisting of a big cat, winding ifs way stealthily along toward the corn field at the opposite end of the or chard, into which the procession soon disap ppeared
