Il voice. THAT kitten Of
Bunch's next door is worrying the
life out of her"
Bunch was beautiful pussy cat
who a few months before had five
of the cutest little gray kittens you
ever saw. Now Bunch was a
celebrated mouser-all the neigh
borhood knew that she could catch
a mouse just about as quick as
Bunny can catch a carrot-ands
that's quick. So, of course people
expected Bunch's children to in
herit her gift as a mouser and IS
soon as they were born, the kit
tens were all promised to friends.
AS it happened. four of the kit
tens had been given away and were
started on their career of making
all mice miserable. And as a re-
suit, Bunch devoted all her time,
attention and affection to this ono
little gray kitten which was left.
well, what's he been up to
now?' asked Bobby as he sat In
deep thought thinking about
Bunch's troubles.

exclaimed. THAT kitten won't
stay home. He's getting terrible.
He runs out the back gate and
he jumps the fence over in our
yard where Rex is chained and now

nights and his mother is frantic
He comes home all dirty and all
that poor cat does is to wash hirn
and try to make him look like a
sleek, well-bred kitten should look"
Now Rex was a great big Bel

Rex" because that's a Latin word
which means king" and he was
noble dog, indeed.

Resentment.
Neale leaned back in his chair
faint with relief. Why, he could
eat it up like candy. And he ate
. it up like candy; emerging from it,
his head in the air and the world
at his feet. This aspect caused
him to be chastened by gang Of

to S1st, Street, where his long legs
finally distanced them.
The other. examinations were of
the same sort, exactly the same
sort, of a childish facility COM
pared to anything the Hadley pro-
fessors had described. Why-it
came to Neale with a shock-why,
the Hadley purpose had not been
to enable them to pass the exams.
it had been to use Hadley boys
to exalt the name of Hadley
throughout the collegiate world!

He felt deep resentment, a
burning bitterness as at having
been taken in; and by people who
had consciously intended to, who
had known very well what they
were about and had taken advan-

cross his mind. In that respect,

HOW REX SAVED BUNCHS WANDERING KITTEN

walking up the street to go to the
motion pictures when Bobby burst
out laughing and, then gasped:
Look, Foxy Grandpa look!
Look at Bunch's kittenw Strolling
up the street with his tail high in
the air walked that independent
little kitten-just like a swagger-
ing young man going out to spend
a jolly evening.
"Well. of all things!' I exclaim-
ed, as we approached the street
and Rex came running up to my
side to wait and cross with US.
The kitten started boldly across
the street just a few feet ahead
Of us. and held my breath as a
big automobile came right down
toward him.
REX" 1 shouted, "the kittenr"
The dog made one bound, lifted
his great paw and firmly, buc
gently. placed 1t on the kitten and
kept him from going on and being
crushed to death under the wheels
of the fast-moving motor car.
Good boy" I shouted as Rex
opened his mouth, tenderly lifted
the kitten by the scruff of the
neck and brought him to me.
We took the kitten home, and
as we started in the side yard l
heard the plaintive cry OF Bunch,
who was fretting BECAUSE her son
and heir had gone out without her
permission. How happily she
purred as she started to wash him,
Bunch's kitten had learned his
lesson. From that time on he
stayed home at night and kept his
mother company.

NO DISCRIMINATION
Michigan Judge says scrub Women and Pink Tea Attendants Should Get same Justice.

Lansing. Mich, Dec. 20. -- There must be no discrimination between pink tea" attendants and scrubwom- en, or between society women and magdalenes, in the application Of the law Justice Grant Fellows Of the Michigan supreme court held in an opinion made public today.
 The opinion was rendered in suit for damages brought by Mrs. Nina D. Bennett of AleRan county. who charged that several men and wom- en, some Of them masked, visited her home in June, 1921. pulled her through narrow window. stood her against a wall and pelted eggs at her.
 Affirming the decision of h lower court in favor of Mrs. Bennett, Jus iice Fellows declared the defendants, by able and adroit counsel sought 10 besmirch Mrs. Bennett's eharac- ter"
 "The community took the law into it's own hands to administer it accord ing 10 the ethics of the stone age" he said It is our proud boast that all are equal before the law. If we deyiate from this we must adopt one measure Of damages for the atten- dant Of pink teas and another for the scrubwoman; one for the society woman and another for the magda- lene."

 Organization in Net Duel

In d practice game played at Mid dletown yesterday afternoon the N. E. II. $, basketball team defeated the Wesleyan college team, score 46 to 9S. Wesleyan has no organized of tense. defense or pass work. They Iesorted to long shots, and depended for the most part on McI.ain. their right forward to bring victory to the team. New Britain played ragged in some parts Of the game. but as a whole they were far better than the college boys in all departments.
 The regular varsity team started the game, and battled throughout the first half on even terms with the Red and Gold team. The score at the end of the first half was II to 3 in favor Of tm Middletown team. The second varsity was then sent in. Then the Hardware City team started to play rings around them. After about ten minutes of playing the Red and Gold ran up so large score that in order to stave off defeat the Wesleyan coach sent his regular team back into the fray, Try as they could they could not overcome the New Britain teams score, and New Britain an- neNed their second victory in prac- tice games.
 The team looked. strong. Captain Dutch" Neipp starred again. get ting IS of his teams 4S points. The guards, Grip and Zehrer. were espe- cially good in the last half when they broke up much of the Wesleyan teams passes.
