, A Secret.
Mi' Kitty Cat win behaving in
the trnget manner. She came in
to the kitchen and hovered about the

Yov. needn't think I'd take you
wbefe I want Mrs. Green to come."
Yet of Farmer Green's wile, iiicwiiis
and looking up at Mrs. Green as it
she hail something special to tell
her.
'Whaf is it. Kitty?" Mrs. Green
asked her. "Are you hungry?"
But Mis. Kilty Cat soon showed
that she wasn't hungry, for she
wouldn't touch anything that Mr.
Green offered her.
"Well, you'll have to run away,
anyhow," Mrs. Green told hen "J
can't take a step with you right un
der my feet."
Though Miss Kitty Cat trotted to
wards the door, she soon made it
plain that she didn't intend to leav
the kitchen unless her mistress went
with her. She came back and
twitched Mrs. Green's apron gently
with her claws. Then she ran to the
doorway again and called to Mrs.
Green.
It seemed to Kitty Cat that she
couldn't have said more clearly that
she wanted to lead Mrs; Green some
where. But still Mrs. Green didn't
quite understand.
"Scat!" she cried, just a bit im
patiently. "I've too much to do to
be bothered this morning. I suppose
you've caught a mouse and want to
show it to me. You'll have to bring
it here, for I haven't any time to
waste today."
Miss Kitty Cat felt somewhat
hurt. She went out and 'sat on the
littomtep and looked in at Fanner
Green' wife. "Now and then she
nave a plaintive mew. But Mrs.
Green didn't pay any attention to
her, ,
"Dear me!" said Miss Kitty. ''Mrs.
Green is busier than ever this morn
ing." Old doar Spot had been watching
Miss Kilty's action. And now, a
she started towards the . barn, he
sidled iip to her, wagging his tail to
show her that he wanted a few
iriendly words with her.
"If Mrs. Green won't conic with
you, I'll be glad to" be offered.
"Just lead the way and I'll follow."
"You!" Mis Kitty exclaimed with
scorn. "You needn't think I'd take
you where I want Mrs. Green to
i oine. You needn't think I'd show
yon what I want her to sec."
"Ho!" cried old Spot, "I don't
know how you're going to stop me
from following you."
"I do," said Miss Kitty firmly. "If
K'ti try to tag along after me where
I'm going, I'll soon make you wish
yon had minded your own affairs."
There was a look in hrr eyes that
oldtSpot did not like. It reminded
him of the time when he had cor
nered Miss Kitty in the barn, soon
after she arrived at the farm.' lie re
membered that his nose still bore the
marks of her sharp claws.
"Well, well," he said. "I was
onlv joking. I'm too busy to
bother with you, anyhow. 1 1 have a
little m'atter to attend to in the pas
ture. There's a woodebuck up there
that's getting too bold."
Then he trotted off, trying to look
as important as possible, so that no
cue would think he was afraid of
Miss Kitty Cat.
"Good!" Miss Kitty Cat cried, as
she watched him while be started
up, the lane. "I'm glad lie's out of
th,e way. It would be awkward if
I had to fight him while I'm doing
what I'm going to do." ..

in the court room throughout the
hearing, as did Mrs. Fogg, widow o(
the slain man.

Tierce began. "I met Jimmie Sax
ton (once acquitted of the murder of'
Fogg) and ho asked me for dope.
When I told him I didn't have any,
he said that a druggist at Twenty
eighth a nil Faniam streets was mak
ing shipments of dope and that I
could easily 'knock him oil.'
Says Men Confessed.
"Several days later I was arrested
and in the county jail I met Mike
Damato. 1 told him about the store.
He was released and I went to the
county jail until August 12. The
day I got out I met two girls; one
was Bernice Wilder of Kansas City.
We all went to Stevens'' room, 706
North Sixteenth street.
"Damato was there. He said: 'We
made the Fogg joint with Saxton and
Ryan.' I told him he ought to give
me a jolt of the stuff he got. Stevens
even showed me the gun he said they
used, and added, that they got $185
and several bottles of cocaine and
morphine."
