ABICHON was rt kitten
of no particular breed,
but fluffy, with wonderful
eyes, topaz in some lights,
emerald on rainy days,
at night like big balls of
sapphire. Bettlo had
adopted it at a time when
a new baby brother had made her a
secondary personage in tho nursery,
her mother being entirely devoted to
the new pink malo morsel, of whom
Dettie did not all approve.
She observed the new routine of
things and decided that she would
have a baby of her own. Hence tho
swaddling of Babichon. It slept at
tho foot of her crib and when the
nights grew cold she wrapped It in a
knitted shawl, leaving only its head
visible. The kitten grew so used to
being dressed In garments very un
usual for a cat that its own fur never
seemed to satisfy it and It was always
crawling modestly under things.
Bettlo used to even bathe it on a
bath towel over her knees, sponging
it from ears to tall. It was fed from
a spoon and learned to like cake and
candy, although it found caramels try
ing to Its teeth. Bettle was envied by
all the children in tho neighborhood
when she took the kitten out in tho
doll's perambulator, fully dressed
oven to a cap tied under its chin.
Many a staid old family Tom was
vainly struggled with In the endeavor
to emulate Bettie's docile pet.
OOMETIMES she would carry it
about in a long dress with its head
resting on her shoulder and its soft
pawB at either side of her neck.
Never a claw did It allow to show, and
in the mornings it wakened Bettie
by tapping her on tho cheek until
sho imagined it was raining roso
leaves.
This education of the kitten would
never have been allowed to progress
so successfully if tho entire household
had not been completely absorbed In
the new boy. Bettlo feeling this neg
lect moro than they ever knew, gave
all her child love to the kitten po
litely scorned her baby brother and
was coldly polite to her parents.
Babichon and she would hold low
secret confabs In a new cat language.
Secretly there was a family council
and the kitten was carried away to
sleep in the kitchen while the child
pleaded, cried and stormed. Rela
tions between Bettie and the rest of
the family grew more Btrained than
ever and then father declared the cat
should chase mice instead of eating
from a spoon, should wash Its own
face and go to sleep without being
sung to.
One day the Uttlo girl was taken
on a shopping tour during which all
sorts of wonderful toys and books
were bought for her and when they
came home, the kitten was missing.
Tho child never guessed that it had
been taken nway so that her mind
would turn more to inanimate toys
and her affection to her own baby
brother.
But they know not the depth of
her passion for Babichon. She fretted,
brooded, grow sad and ill, her eyes
worn with weeping. Sho sobbed her
self to Bleep nights after sho had
prayed fervently that tho kitten
would return to her. The truth was,
Babichon had beep chloroformed
tho day It was taken away.
The doctor said children got
over these things and Bettlo was only
eight, but her young life was clouded
for a year or more. Then she wont
away to a boarding school in Paris
and camo home a young lady, very
beautiful but never particularly Joy
ous. Existence deepened Into life's
tapestries and brocades, belle-ship,
love, marriage, motherhood, and then
a widow's white cap over her still
smooth brow.
AND the years went on and Bettlo
grew to see tho faces of her grand
children. And by and by sho was a
very elegant white haired lady with
point laco at her neck and a drive in
tho park afternoons and sherry and
biscuits at four. Her sons and daugh
ters wcro busy in the world, dancing,
dressing, dabbling in stocks, playing
Bridge, going abroad.
The grandchildren wero all eager
for their play when they escaped tho
fraulicns and tho schoolbooks. They
kissed her and ran away just as her
daughter did when she waB starting
out for the opera with her husband.
Grandmother Bettie was lonely she
dreamed of tho llttlo cradles and two
llltle graves and tho husband who
had died long ago. Sometimes tears
fell on her fine white hands In their
deep rulllcs.
Ono day In June she half dozed on
the veranda In a chaise lounge. Tho
scent of roses camo up from, tho gar
den and she sniffed the frngranco
thinking dimly of other Junes long
gone. Sho had not known tho Summer
was so near. And again she felt sad
and alone. v
She rose, leaning on her cano and
walked slowly down tho garden path
In the sunshine, the urns of pansles
glowing on each sldo of her, birds
twittering in the trees.
On a rustic bench sho seated her
self a lovely plcturo of serene old
ladyhood. Her eyes closed dreamily.
Suddenly a little black kitten leaped
down from tho arbor, mowing and
purring with delight, resting on
Grandmother Bettie's shoulder, rub
bing her cheeks gently as though to
awaken her.
She stirred softly and smiled. Her
thoughts had gone back back
further than ever before, to child
hood. Sho remembered her little bed
at home and thought she felt rose
leaves falling on her face. Sho
opened her eyes.
Tho kitten nestled against her neck.
And Grandmother Bettlo was not in
tho least alarmed. She raised her
white hands tenderly and stroked tho
little cat, speaking to It in a patois of
childhood whilo tears fell happily.
Babichon had returned.
Took Him at His Word
THE lato Rev. Dr. Eliphalot Nott
Potter, president of Union Uni
versity, had heard of one of tho
younger members of tho student body
who was carousing. Ho invited tho
young man to call on him at his resi
dence, concealing, in the Invitation,
his real motive.
Tho president received tho student
in the dining room of his homo and,
with a genial greeting, did his ut
most to make the young man feel as
much at easo as possible. The student
had been agreeably surprised at the
evidence of good fellowship.
Finally, reaching tho point, Presi
dent Potter asked:
"Do you drink, Mr. Jones?"
"Well, really, prexy," replied the
student, somewhat abashed at such
exceptional hospitality, "I don't care
if I do."
