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."

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.
