Show ' Tho Kitten M ill Vouch fur Thin. ( lite the seventh floor of the St. ( 'athe-rine 'athe-rine Hats, at Fifty third street and Madison Madi-son iivenue, a particularly pretty Maltose Mal-tose kitten has the good fortune to live. lfor favorit'i snooRing place is on tho feat of one of tho windows overlooking the court yard. This window happened to be open for a few iuiuut.es the other morning, and the kitten, qnito carried away by the novelty of the idea, stepped out upon tho window ledge to take a cat's eye view of the yard below and tho surrounding country generally. An instant later her paws slipp"1. from under her upon a piece of ice and over she went. She fell a trifle of some six stories and then landed feet foremost fore-most just upon the extreme edge of the roof of one of the outbuildings. lint so terrific was the force with which she landed there that slie bounced from off the roof liki a rubber ball, and after this instant's respite continued on her headlong journey toward the ground. She landed on her feet again, shook herself for a moment just to see that she w.'is all there, aud (lien giving vent to a faint yowl of triumph, as one would say, ''How's that for high?" picked her way toward the house again with a delightful de-lightful air of nonchalance and totally oblivious to tho fact that she has only eight lives left to hercredit.
