Show Sparrow Played 'Possum. I was In our mald'a room when wo heard my old tabby Persian cat coming com-ing upstairs wth tho peculiar "mow-wow" "mow-wow" that meant n prize. Ho appeared appear-ed with a sparrow that ho had managed man-aged to catch. Doth the maid and I though tho bird was dead. Ills head was dangling limply, his oyes wero half shut and one wing was trailing. The cat laid his capture at our feet with pride. I was going to pick tho bird up when It shot up and flow straight out of the open window. Ho had evidently not been -hurt In tho least by the cat, who was so furious at his capture escaping that ho nearly went out of the window too. Country Coun-try Life. |
