MADE DOG CARRY KITTENS
Mother Cat Had No Computation at

An English lady. says a contributor
TO the Cornhill Magazine. having re-
ceived kitten and puppy as gifts,
determined to bring them up together.
She put them into the same bed. fed
them from the same saucer, and they
became fast friends.
In time the kitten arrived ut matron-
hood. She presented the world with
little ones and chose for their nursery
a remote and quiet room In the house.
But In "A few days she evidently de-
cided that there was better place
for them In room on the floor above.
Instead OF removing the kittens her
self. she trotted OF to her friend the
dog and got him to follow her to the
spot where the kittens were lying.
When he had looked at them she
started of to the upper room. and he
followed her but, seeing that he was
SO to "empty-handed," she
doubled back and returned 10 the Kit
tens and eventually after two or
three more false starts. he understood
her and, picking up one Of the kittens
In his mouth. followed her W the
stairs TO the new place. That was as
far as his understanding went, and
she had to conduct him back 10 the
other kittens and repeat the whole
performance again and again until In
the end he had removed them all, and
she was happy in her new quarters.
But II was nO the ideal spot after
all she was happy there only for a
day. Again she summoned the dog
