And Dudley Harrington answered, with a yawn; i "lhere s no danger of tnat, sir. The ladies of the Holly Lodge have always been first rate -housekeepers you know..

Pa's temper got him into the worst muss you over see last., nignt. -Jlou see, pa wants me to do all the work around the house.- The other day he bought a load of kindling wood, and told me te carry it into the base ment I have not men educated 'up to kindling wood, and I didn't do it When supper ; tame . came, axd pa found that I had not carried in the kindling wood,; he had a hot- box, and be told me if that wood was not in when he came back from the lodge he would warm my . jacket. I knew when pa came home he would search for me. So I slept in the back hall on a cot But I didn't want pa to have all hia trouble for. nothing, so I borrowed an old torn eat that my chum's,' old maid aunt owns, and put tho cat in my bed. The cat isn't afraid of anything, and can ; whip, a New Foundland : dog quicker: than you could put sand m a barrel of sugar. ; Well, about 11 o'clock I heard pa tumbling over the kindling wood, And I know by the remark he made, as the wood slid around under him, that there: was going to be a cat fight real quick. . He come up to ma's room, and sounded ma as to whether Hennery had retired to his virtuous coach. Pa is awful sarcastic when he tries to be. I could hear him take off his clothes, and hear hum say aa he picked up a trunk strap, 'I guess I will go . up to his room and watch the smile on his face as be dreams of angels. I yearn to press him to my aching bosom.' I thought to myself, mebbe you won't yearn so much directly. He came up stairs, and I could hear him breath ing hard, I looked out around the corner and could see he just had on his shirt and pants and his suspend ers were hanging down and .his ball head shone like a calcium light just before it explodes. '; Pa went in ' my room, and put to , the bod. and I could hear him say, "Come out here acd bring in that kundung wood, or I will start a fire on your base burner with this strap." And then there was a yowling such as I never, heard before, and pa said, 'Helen Blazes; and he furniture in my room began to fall around and break. U, my! I think pa took' the torn cat right by the neck, the- way be does - me, and that left aH the cat's fro to get in their work.- Pa a shirt was no pro tection at all in e eat light, and the cat just walked all' around pa's sto mach, and rjar yeHd . 'police' and fire,' andturn on the hose,' and he crlled tta and ? the cat yowled. If pa had had presence of mind enough to have droped the cat, or rolled it up in the mattress, it ' would have been all right, but a man always gets rattled in time, of danger,, and ho held on to the cat and . started down the stairs yelling murder, and . he met ma . coming up. .
