Show Collector Had Noted Pussy's Rubber Heels There Is a saying to the effect that "Possession is nine points of the law," but in these days of repossession many strange experiences are the lot of the man whose job is to bring back the goods. One such individual tells the story of a case wherein he bad repeatedly made calls, but could never nev-er find the party at home. At least, the bell ringing was always ignored. Noticing one day that the threshold of the front doorway was worn quite thin, so that one could look into the hallway some few inches, the collector collec-tor decided to leave his card, and after aft-er noisily walking down the steps returned re-turned again very quietly and saw his card being picked up. Hi said nothing and when he finally gained admission, later in the week, he remarked to the woman that he had called several days earlier and found no one at home. She replied very sociably that "I knew you must have been here because I found your card. It was in the middle of the hall floor where the cat must have pulled ' it in and was playing with it." The collector looked at her very coolly, remarking, "Yes, I know. saw his rubber heels." ! |
