"I'd like to- get hold of that cnt. If I did It would novor get out ullvo ngain." Ho stalked moodily to the window nnd llstoncd, ns-lf fiiKclnntcd by the low pitched volco of tho woman cnllliiB Insistently In tho yard bolow. "Hero, kitty, Icltty, kitty, Ulttyl" she called. "Sho's been doing that every "Isht for a week," grumbled Hob, lcnviiu,' Uio window wlion the souikIh bud died uwny in n murmur of endearments. "If 1 had only known there win a cnt loving uplnnler in the Lloubo I would haro Btnycd on the onlRiflc Jtjo cats for me not on your llfo!" Hob looked nrnuudtat thervrcll fur nished room eonialninjr furniture of lili own. The low ljookuhelvon were tilled with hlH book. Everything In the two hirwiipnrtmrnUi wuh bin own. IIo resolved to Jemiilij thero until Mint . remote tiui6 whoh he would fall In lovo nnd marry. "Thnt may bo never," lie alwnyM told blmiolf cynically. At breakfast he approached bis boarding jnlatresB concemlutr ontB, "All, Mr. Tortor, didn't I bear, a cat in Uio hall Just now?" be inquired ns t he Hipped his coffee. , Mrs. Forter nmllod Impersonally. "Probably you iinve heard a cat, Mr. Folsotn. Thero are tlireo in tlilH house." "Thrco!" Hob wn,s nglinst. "And nro they nil lost nt nlglit and do their mistresses iinve to call them homo nt precisely 0 p. tri,, and" "Dear me, no! They are very quiet, Htny at homo cntH that is, all except MIsb Lime's Snowball. He's an An gora nnd qulto valuable, I believe. He bos been n runaway lately and does not como homo until poor Miss Lane has becomo bourse with cnlllng him. She linn a touch of asthma, you know." "I hope Snowball gets over his wan derlust boforo long," remarked Bob as ho pushed hla chair away from tho ta ble. Mrs. Porter looked pained. "I am very sorry Jf it annoya you," she said rather stiffly, "but Miss Lane is my b'est boarder, and slio happens to own tills house, nnd Snowball is tho apple of. lior eye. Perhaps, ho will stay in now." "Oh, It doesn't matter," Hob hasten ed to say, already feeling somewhat nshnmed nt his complaint against Suowbull's asthmatic mistress. "I only happened to hoar her calling every , night and I wondered you know," his volco trailed Into embarrassed silence as ho escaped into tho hnll and took his lint from tho rack. Ah be walked toward the front door, shrugging into his overcoat as hn went, ho observed n hnndsomo white Angora cat sitting oti tho newel post. "Snow ball, I'll bo bound!" he said to himself, lifting hW bund to pat the beuutlfnl creature. Hut Snowball's white paw shot out and his claws dug deep, leav ing a long ugly scratch on tho back of Hob's hand. "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!" call Jed a voice from the floor above. "Come. Snowball!' Snowball mewed delightedly in re turn and darted, a ilylug strenk of white, up the stairs, V Hob sent one upward glnnco to whore u fac loaned over tho banister of tho second story. A stltlly brushed joni pudour of gray hair above a high fore head ami a pair of gold spectacles glis tened down nt him. Ho turned nwny impatiently. Snowball's mistress was all that liia Imuglnntluu hud painted i her. As ho went down tho street he inon tally cursed the eat that had adininls tered tho ugly Hcrutch, nnd ho was till ed with unreasonable wrath at Miss Lnno for harboring the vicious beast. "That'H Uio inalu troublo with board ing houses," ho said to hlmsolf. "They are tilled up with' old maids and cats and parrots. 1 don't bollovo thero is any hope of my tlndlug i homo nny whero unless I get married and whore is the right girl?" Where was ulio? Up to this tlnio she hud never existed for Hob Folsoni. Ho had his ideal, and he was especially convinced Unit Hho could not have roil Imir nnd bo loved by him. Neither could her eyes bo griou. Her hair must bo ii soft dusky black nnd her oys that rnrv hazel Ho reached his olllce nt this Juncture mid was compelled to drop day dreuma In tho face of dry re nllUiw. That evening ns bo Bat boforo tho cosy hearth flro he hoard tho volco in Uio yard calling tho recalcitrant Snow ball. "Here, kitty, kitty, bitty. Thero wero tho nnmo deep lower notes lifting npwurd to tho bast piercing, nnd to Bob Folsom'8 nervously sonsltlvo hear ing, irrlfJiUug "Kitty." For nn hour Uio culllntj continued at frequont intervals nnd thon sudden ly ceased, much to Hob'B relief. "Cfni clous," ho muttered to liimRolf us ho propured for bod, "I'm getting to bo na old maidish as Miss Lano can possi bly bo bot u dollar her namo I3 Joinl mar 4Jt nrosk hftvo boon niter midnight when Bob was awakened by a hideous ygwllng under his window. Thon ho realised that It must have been fol lowing him through hla dreams, tor he had been dreaming of tho Irasclblt SnowbnU. "Hull guess ho stayed out tonight and Is Just getting in! I'll soon put 11 stop to you, son." Hob looked uround tho room for some missile to toss down upon the indig nant Snowball, who obstinately voiced his complaints beneath Bob FuNorn'e window. Bob knew that nil the other bedrooms in tho houso faced upon the front and sides, and it was doubtful if any one ulso in tho houso could be disturbed -by the cat cries. ITe decided that n paper weight was too heavy, n sofa .pillow too soft, his boots quite out of theiuestlon. Snow ball must be broken of this midnight serenading under his window. He whooped eoCUy as n happy thought struck him. On his wnshstond was an unopened package of nn especial talcum powder that housed when shav ing himself. A quantity of this white Iowder sifting down from nowhere in particular upon tho upturned face of Snowball would effectually put that fe line nulxunco to rout. As Hob opened tho hnlf pound pack age) talcum powder ho chuckled Roft ly to himself, not hearing footfalls on the carpeted hall nor tho careful open ing of tho rear basament door. Ill own window wan wide open, and he thrust his head out, turned the pack ngo u)sido down nnd shook tho powder out. Then be crumpled the pasteboard container and towd that down after it. Snowball's cries coased instantly, but they were followed by a feminine ex clnmntion of surprise. "Great Jove, if I hnvon't sprinkled Mlxa lane! What In thunder is she doing down there, anyway?" Thoroughly chagrined nnd.pcnltont nt tho outcome of his joke upon tho white cnt, Bob Folsom pausod, uncer tain what to do. Miss Lnno was an elderly woman, and tho sudden do scent of the powder must not only have stnrtled her, but might have cnused her Buffering. Bob remember ed whnt Mrs. Torter had said about Miss Lane's nsthuin, nnd ho. resolved to mnke amends as far as lay in his powrr. Consequently ho dashed into n bathrobe and slippers and went out Into tho dnrkonod hall nnd down tho black pit of tho stalrwny to the base ment hall. He wns groping his way toward the rear door, which ho could see was still open, when a volco close beside him naked quietly: "Who are you, nnd what do you wnut?' "I I beg your pardon, Miss Lnno, Is It not?" ho Ktnmmered. "Yes, I nm Miss Lane." Bob heard a button click, and lnstnntly the ball was Hooded with light. IIo leaucd weakly against tho wnll nnd nctually stnred at tho vision thnt confronted him. If tills was Miss Lano who was the glassy eyed lady who had peered at him over tho ban ister that very morning? She wns bonutlful. She was young, not moro than twenty-three, with a peach tinted complexion, green oyes, dark eyebrows and red hair! She was tho antithesis of his Ideal In every respect, nnd lie should havo turned nwny from her with superb lndlffer enco only ho fell bend over heels In love with her at once yes, red hair and nil. And the lovely waving red hnlr was powdered thickly with white talcum, nnd the pencil tint of her com plexion Avns flecked with talcum, and the dark bluo silk of her dressing gown was flecked with It, and even the tip of her ndorablo noso. Ah for Snowball, clasped In tho curve of her soft nrms, ho was tossing powder wlUi every imgry shako of his bead. Of course Bob Folsom had to apolo gize, nnd he did It hnstlly, stumbling ovor his words as ho watched for some gleam of forgiveness In the groen eyes. "Of course you didn't know," bIiq Knld when lie bnd concluded, "nnd of course poor Snowbnll doesn't llko It n bit, I'm glad thnt I went down nfter him Instead of Aunt Cleopatra. She would really have minded the' pow der." Sho mulled nwputiy nt Hoi ns she proceeded on iicr way. "I wonder If yon would salni closing tho door and putting out the lights. 1 heard you coming downstairs, and I was so frightened that I did not stop tp clo'so tho door. I felt that I must And out who It was." "Your volco did not sound frightened, nnd well, renlly, I'm afraid I'vo been awfully old mnldlsh about that cnt. I supposo you, were anxious about him"- he was saying -when sho Inter rupted him with a negative gesture of her head that sent two long red brulds flying ovor her shoulders. "Xo, Indeed; I'm not a lilt anxious or fond of Snowbnll ho Is so cross 'nnd scratchy Hut Aunt Cleopatra adores him, and that Is why I'vo had to go down and call him in every oveulug nt bedtime, I suppose you heard me," IIo blushed and nodded sheepishly. "I thought It must bo Mlsd Lane your aunt, you know." She cast an enigmatic smile over her shoulder ns sho wont up tho Btairs, tho snow white cnt hugged closo to her bosom. "When Bho hud disappeared Hob Folsom locked Uio door, Bnappod out tho light and tiptoed up to, hla room. Boforo ho returned to bed ho stood looking out into tho moonlit ynrd, his fnco soft with tho wonder nnd delight of 0110 who sees beloved dreams eomlng truo. "It Ls my dream girl ull right, oven f her hair nnd eyes aro not Uio color I wanted, I wonder how I could have admired any other combination! Ev erything seems to go by contraries. It's Aunt Cleopatra Instead of Jemima. Iicr nnmo .must bo something very beautiful d golden. I wonder how soon I can find outr' ' ' Of coarse Bob Folsom found oat tho girl's name long boforo ho married her, and what do yon think It was? Klttyl Special on Groceries tazaacfaaaMiaacaigsaia A great many people think that it is impossible to buy their goods of the home merchant and still keep within n reasonable expense. For this reason the Mail Order Houses are patronized to a great extent where the merchant nt home should get the benefit of this portion of the business that is done in Omaha and Chicago. By selling for cash our price is so that we can compete with these places and when it comes to making prices on n bill of groceries that the ordinary family would send away for, we can sell as.cheap as tho Mail Order House and we have the quality behind our prices. This not only gives the consumer the same value for the money, but saves the trouble of sending away and waiting a week or two for the goods, We ask you to consider this bill, compare the prices with the Mail Order House and also come in and take a look for yourself.
