The Evening Bee is the only Omaha paper printing International News Service dispatches. Pussy Purr-Mew’s Feline Perversity Baffles the Rescuing Fire Department. An Inch of lace showed below her mauve organdy. The underellp was too long. Would she have time to shorten It? An anxious glance at her dressing table clock. Ten minutes of six! With nervous haste, Helen got out of her gown, three a kimono about her bare shoulders, and sat down to run a tuck in the new white silk slip. Beside her in the open window sat Pussy Purr-Mew. With absorbed, tail switching interest, she was peering down at some twittering birds. "Never mind those sparrows.” Helen stooped for her spool, swept from the window-sill by the agitated tail. "Come back In her, you might fall out" But with feline perversity, Pussy Purr-Mew crouching low, leaned far ther out. Her back twitched excited ly at the tantalizing chirps below. The tuck basted, Helen waa getting into the slip when from the window came a muffled, terrifying sound. In the mirror she caught a disap pearing flash of gray fur. Then silence—and an empty win dow-sill! Her hand over her eyes, Helen shrank tremblingly back. She could not look down at that mangled bit of fur on the pavement eight floors below. “Nora! Nora!” Screaming she flew out to the kitchen. "Pussy Purr Mew! She—Hhe’s fallen out the win dow!” "Where? What window?” dropping the ricer with its half-crushed potato. "My room — quick! I—I couldn’t look down." Sobbing convulsively she ran In af ter Nora who dashed to the window. A breathless moment as the girl leaned uut. "She's all right! She ain’t hurt. She’s on this ledge!" The next second Helen was at the window staring down at Pussy Purr-Mew, huddled on the narrow stone ledge about six feet below. “How you gonna get her hack?” "Go for the elevator boy! Qulfk— it's so narrow there! Oh, if she should slip!'' As Nora bolted out, Helen glued to the w'indow, called down tremul ously, "Pussy Purr-Mew! Poor Pussy Purr-Mew!" Too frightened to cry out, Pussy Purr-Mew huddled close against the brick wall, while an impudent spar row hopped jeerlngly along the ledge close by. "I can’t get her." was the elevator boy's unsympathetic verdict. “No way to reach down there." “Get a rope or a ladder—or some thing! Oh, you must! You must!” “Nothin' to stand on,” his pimply face stolidly indifferent. In the excitement they had not heard Warren's entrance. A cry of relief from Helen as he loomed In the doorway. “Hello, what’s up"” "Quick—quick! Pussy Furr-Mew's fallen out—she's on this ledge!” “Get me a sheet!" was his brisk command as he reached /he window. *'A sheet?" quivered Helen. "Whrft can you do with a sheet?” ‘‘Don't stop to argue. Get a sheet, I tel! you!" Out In the hall closet Helen snatched a sheet from the linen shelf, shaking out its crisp folds as she ran. Slashing the hem with his knife, Warren tore the sheet in half and tied it together. Intent only on the rescue, Helen, heedless of the mutilation of one of her best sheets, watched with breath less anxiety while he lowered it. “You’ll frighten her!" as Fussy Purr-Mew shrank back. "She’ll fall off!" “If she’s got any sense, she'll climb up." ‘‘She's too terrified—she’ll never climb up that!" "She won’t with all this hubbub! Here, get away! We’ll leave her alone.” Moving the dressing table nearer the window, he tied the sheet to it. Retreating to the dining room win dows w hich commanded a view of the name ledge, they watched for Pussy Purr-Mewr's ascent. But ignoring the rescuing sheet, she still crouched mo tionless against the wall. "Come on, let's have dinner,” grumped Warren. "She’ll climb up when she’s good and ready." ‘‘8tt down and eat dinner with her out there?" anguished Helen. “She may slip off any moment!” “Heluva lot of good does to stand here calling ’Kitty, Kitty. Kitty’!" "Oh, I know,” Helen clasped her hands with sudden Inspiration. “A box! Shs loves to get Into a box. We’ll tie a rope around a bandbox!” Darting to her closet, she tumbled her best hat from Its smart striped box. "Wouldn't hold her.” Warren felt the thin pasteboard. ‘‘If that bottom fell otK—good night cat!” “A basket!” she quavered. "Oh, why didn’t we think of a basket?” Out In the kitchen Helen caught up the basket under the sink. •‘What're you goin’ to put them potatoes in?" Nora had followed her out. “Walt, I’ll get the washboiler.” Not waiting for anything, shs dumped the potatoes on Nora's spot less floor. ’’Get mo a rope! Where’s the clothesline?” "Ain't seen none sines I been’ here,” sulkily. "Sho dries in the basement.” Helen s Ingenuity, always equal an emergency, sha flew Into Warren’* room—to trie drawer that held hi* pajamas. Jerking out two of the pajama cords, she knotted them to gether, then tied them to the basket handle. “Now let this down,” dashing back to Warren. “No, I will—you'll frighten her.” Cautiously, coajctnglv, Helen low ered the basket. The cushion-lined, catnip-scented basket proved no lure to Pussy Purr Mew. She still crouched on th* nar row ledge, too frightened even to "meow.” But the appeal In her gray green eyes brought the tears to Helen's. “'If I could slip a noose over her head,” suggested Warren, “I could yank her up.” "Yes, and choke her. Bear, couldn't you let me down by my feet? I'm so light—I know you could hold me. I wouldn’t be afraid?' “Risk your neck for a cat? I gues* not. Now. see here, this Is all non sense. Hhe'll climb up that sheet If you let her alone. Nora, you pM din ner on. I've had enough of thle ” “No. no, T won’t leave her there." The Modern Babylon The most j fascinating I city in the j world 1 today is New York. Visit it through the eyes of O. O. McIntyre I 0.0. McIntyre t knows every # nook and f corner of New York and he writes about it with a style that is both interesting and k entertaining. O O M^lNJTVRt “New York Day by Day” Read It Every Day In The Evening Bee sobbed Helen. "Call up the humane society. They may know some way.” "There’s just one way. After din ner, if she hasn't sense to climb up. I’ll get the fire department to bring around an extension ladder." "Get them now—right away” What do you do? Turn In an alarm?” “‘Not much you don’t. After din ner I'll go around to the engine house.” “Walt all that time—risk her fall ing off? Where’s the nearest engine house? If you won't go I'll send the hall boy or go myself.” "Oh, all right, I’ll go,"Irately. "Know what It'll cost for a fool job like this? I’ll have to give those men a good stiff tip.” As with a muttered growl Warren ■lammed out, Helen flew back to call down soothing encouragement to Pussy Purr-Mew. An anxious 15-mlnute wait before Nora came running In. "They’r^ out there now, takin’ the ladder through .the basement.” “Como up slower! Don't frighten her,” called Helen as a burly fire man ascended. ‘‘Oh, If she should jump off!” "Don’t worry, miss; I’ll get her all right," he shouted back. Crouching lower, Pussy Purr-Mew was watching every move of the ap proaching fireman. Now he was half way up! Hand over hand he was climbing fast. Another moment and he would reach the ledge. For a heart-stopping second Pussy Purr-Mew Heemed about to spring off. A flash of gray fur! She was on the sheet, climbing up with nimble speed. A roar of laughter from Warren and the firemen below. Ignoring their boisterous merri ment, Helen caught Pussy Purr-Mew as she reached the window. "Oh, oh," hugging her hysterically with sobbing relief. "How could you?” She wa» still crooning over her when Warren strode in. "Well, that little part cost me just $10. And that damned cat could have climbed up any old time she wanted to!" ‘I don't care! I don't cart what It cost. She's safe." hugging her closer. "Shi 's safe!” "Safe?” with a snort. ' Knew all along she was safe—that she'd shinny up that sheet when she got good and ready! But you set up such a howl you had me rattled. Huh, you don't have to worry about that cat! I'd like to wring her blooming neck! Sit ting out there giving us the laugh while you were throwing hysterics all over the place." Abie the Agent. A scream! In The Evening Bee. AMERICA'S BOY OF JOY J I I AllVeek.
