PET CAT HANDY AT FISHING
crouches Down at Waters Edge and
Deity Whips Out Fish for
Her Dinner.


The Woman and her friend sat on
The porch Of the latter's summer
home on Long Island. In front of
them the lawn sloped down to an
inlet of Shinnecock bay. Timothy,
the family cat, who had been curled
dp at their feet, rose, stretched HIM
self and strolled nonchalantly to-
wards the water.
Watch Tim, " said Mrs. W., eff
you want to see something interest
ing9
The cat pausing occasionally as
i there we're no special reason why
he should turn his steps in this
PARTICULAR direction, reached the
shore, and, crouching down at the
very edge Of the water, gazed in
tently into its depths.
"What do you suppose he sees |"
the Woman questioned.
Watch answered Mrs. W.
Tim kept this intent position for
a few minutes, and then, bending
forward quickly and deity, thrust
a Maltese-and-white paw into the
water. Before the Woman could
draw a breath small fish was tossed
upon the grass, which fish its captor
proceeded to eat, head, tail, and all.

Ter mat l am sure / will be able tc

Jects wait on me-"
Mr.. Rooster was right. All the
mems and chickens saved grain of
corn and the next night his castle was
full Of his subjects, as also was his
crop full of corn.
Mr. Rooster slept with the string
that worked the lock fastened TO one
foot, for sometimes when he was doz-
ing subject came to the castle door
and one night he was awakened by a
soft voice outside saying: 20 mighty
King OF the Barnyard, pray let me in.
have bag full of golden corn.
Il am stray goose that has wan
dered away from her home and can
not ind a place to sleep, and / am
willing to pay a high price for the
privilege OF sleeping in your castle"
Now it wasn't goose at all, but
Mr.. Fox, who in some way had heard
about the way Mr. Rooster was max
ing his hens and chickens pay for
sleeping in the poultry house. Mr..
Fox saw right off chance to get in
and carry off one or two fat hens.
Mr. Rooster was so fattered that he
did not stop to ask any questions or
look out to see who it was. He pulled
the string, the latch flew up and Mr..
Fox jumped into the midst of the hens !
ana chickens.
Such crying and squawking as they I
set up scared even Mr. Fox, and be-
fore he could get out of the poultry
house with one, Mr.. Dog came bound
ing at him, and Mr.. Fox, without his
breakfast, made tracks for home.
you are nice king, you are, said
Mr.. Dog. A king looks out for his +
subjects and does not let an enemy in
his castle, and if were the hens and
/ would roost in the barn at
light where Mr. Horse and Madam
Cow could protect me If Mr.. Fox came
long"
The hens and chickens took his adj
ice and the next night poor Mr..
rooster found himself alone and very
hungry, too. So he decided that being
king was very hard work, and be-
ides that, he did not like to be alone,
or if Mr.. Fox should take a notion to
all again he knew thai he would need
he help of all the hens to cali to Mr.
Jog for help.
