At the table she responded to his friendly advances with a most chilling hauteur. When he joined the family circle in the evening she promptly made some excuse for leaving it. Mar- jorie, the younger sister, and Fred soon became the best of friends. Fred, be- ing a happy, genial person, was great- ly troubled by Cornelia's treatment of him. “I wonder why your sister dislikes me so?" he asked Marjorie one day. “I don't think she dislikes you,” just—well, she didn’t want you to come, and now she won't give in be- cause she's the most obstinate thing.” Fred whistled. “So that's it, is 1t?” he said. If it hadn't been for Tom perhaps Cornelia never would have glven in. But Tom elected several days later to catch his annual mouse. Being a fat and overfed feline, he rarely conde- scended to enter the hunting fleld for himself, and when he did it was a tragical event in the family. Cornelia would rather have had the house swarming with mice than witness Tom's treatment of one when he hadl caught it. On this occasion Coruelia was alone at home when the ominous thumping and squeaking that were sure indica- tions of Tom's achievement reached | her ears. She rushed down the stairs | In the course of a few weeks young f +| Fred Lambert arrived and took up his | .| abode with the Trents. Cornella, true Innd into the living room just in time ! to see Tom release his vietim, allow | it to wabble away a few feet and then ;pnunco upon it once more. Tears of | indignation rolled down Cornelia's lcluwks as she swooped upon Tom. { She was just about to clasp her hands | & about his sleek body when he slid out | % from under her fingers and with a | g ! petulant swish of his tail in Cornelia’s direction padded away with the unfor- tunate mouse in his mouth. Cornelia followed, swooped again and again was foiled. Tom trotted up the stairs and sought refuge under Cornelia's bed. Cornelia pursued him with a broom handle and rushed him out. Still clutching his treasure in his teeth, Tom leaped down the stairs, with Cornelia close at his heels. Once more in the living room, he released his prey again, gave it a farewell slap with his paw and, unable longer to en- dure the nervous strain, gave a yowl and went into a fit! This was the final blow to Cornelia. Tom in a fit was a sight from which she would flee in abject terror. With a shriek she flew to the front door and almost fell into the arms of the boarder! Like a drowning person, she | clutched him. “O-0-oh!" she sobbed. “Please, please! Tom's got a fit and | & mouse and I don't dare touch him, and it's over in the corner and I know it's suffering, because he treats them perfectly dreadfully and I can't | bear it another minute! Oh, please | put him out and catch it and drown | it Without & word Fred walked into the living room, secured Tom g¢ ntly dropped him from a 1 to | the ground, then pi half-dead mouse Cornelia, sitting on the stans \\\rhl her head buried in her inds, said, “Will you please drown it?” | As Fred departed toward the kitchen | she raised her tear-stained face “Will | | You please warm the water a little?" | she sobbed. “I'd 11 er if I knew L was dying ¢ | “That's a said Fred, so- | berly | “Now, I put it to you, Cornelia said | to her best friend a few weeks later | when she was exhibiting 1 I quired e body 1 he ne | he reall and !} bit f== a0 The Cost of Living is firg Unless You Know Where to § T IF YOU KNOY The selection will be the bes; The variety unmatched The quality unsurpassed The price the lowest All these you find at our sto-.
