With or with out the comma the phrase fits. She had little time to spend In the care of 1-cts, tut when a ktmy cat knocks at one's door and one happens to be particularly fond cf that species of animal, what can one do but offer a home? She took him in and fed him, and as he proceeded to make himself com fortable and refused to leave the vicinity of her rooms when she set him out fn the hall, she was forced to the condusiou that she was elected to be the creature's mandatory. Vclma's rwminiMte didn't care for cats. "Why didn't you get a dog?" she demanded, but she managed to reconcile herself, in time, to the addi tion to the little family. iuvihoveii proved to be a mysteri ous l.eing. He would vtit;iH for two or three days atH t.iue, mid then sud- i detdy retippeur and remain tit home for a period of ojual length, making ' his itrrlval known by the usual wailing serenade. Velum got used to these coinings and g"i'-t'. for there was a certain amount of regularity about them, and soon she was able to fofe- , east almost with certainty the day and hour the wanderer would return, from hi sojourn. - - , At the front of the apartment house, itl the ba--eniotit. lived Ned Sayre, a bachelor young man. He shared the rooms with all iicpiaint aii"', but bis life was rather lonely, for the two had little In common, al though they got aloii well enough to gether. I.Ike Vi-lnia. Ned was a cut fancier, ati-l lie her 1-e had taken possesion of mic that paid him a isit oti two or three occasions when his living-room window was open. The roommate voiced some objections, but thesi were overruled, the lteauty. tis the cat was christened, soon occupied u wel come place in the household, if two rooms and a bath may be called such. Like P.eothovon. l'.cauty went away j on strange missions which he never I explained or even tried to explain j Ned's duty us dtf k In a haberdashery : kept him away from hme most ol ; the day, and It Is next to Impossible to follow a cat In the dark, sc Hetnny's w horoid c-uts during thesf periodical absences remained a secret. Ned was of a timid nature; that is, he was timid when a member of the oi her sex was in proximity. However j he had struck up tin acipiaintatic j with Velma illake ami had got to tht stage where he could relapse Into n ( day dream w hen crossing the busiest corner of the busiest street. ; He mustered sufficient courage one ; a week to take Velum to a theater ot j some other kind of entertainment, but : had never been in her apiirtuutit, that being against the rules of the house I Consequently he was never introduced' to her l'.et thoven. Such trivial subjects as cats are m-t ; often discussed between young met ) ma! young women who are keeping; company. There are more imwirtan! ' matters, stu li as mtisic, bon-bons, au 1 tomobilcs. vaudeville and clothes; s 1 why should n couple of stray pets-get Into the conversation? It would b a queer way to carry on a love af fair, would It not? Can you Itnftgim a couple holding hands and at tht same time a heated argument con, renting the merits of their respective i rats? So, in spite of the fact thai ! both Velma ami Ned were very fond) of their pets, the subject never entered ; their talk. .- Two things puzzled Ned, and thi j more l.e thought about them the titor ; puzzled he became, tine was the; peculiar and repeated disappcuranct of Ib-auty i. ml the other was how ti ; win Velum for his lifelong partner i Hut l.er a strange combination ,,f (,r , ries for a young mtui, but Ned could ; not undar'iind the girl any more tharj he could the cat. ". , ' I Similar mysteries colicerned Velum i One was the strange absence ol , I'.eethoveti, and the other was how P win Ned for the head of her fa'mily. ; If one of them had been able to look Into the other's mind tin-re would huvt been no trouble about solving one ol , the puzzles, i. ml of course that wa the more lntHirtatit one of the two. I Just wk'ii It seemed that Ned and! Velma were beginning to understand! iieli other something happened than made them both miserable. Ned had ' arranged to take Velma to a theatrical j performance, bnt she sent him n note j saying she would be busy that evening und ctnild not see him. It made him downcast for a while, but he recovered from die attack ot ! the blues and Invited his roommate to the show in Velma'a stead. Oo the way to the thenter they met Velma with a yo'mg man. N-1 .ormtd the same eoncrusToji that almost uny other fellow would bavc fjrmed is ku.kif iire-iuttiiuces He decided that he bad been -thrown , oter; ami having a proud. seuuive ! I. a turf, lie resolved to stav a war from nature, he resolved to stay away from Velma. lie did not kuor that the head of the music ales dipartiuent of the en tire nation-wide chain of emporium stores was in the city that evening to take tn inventory of the two local Ublishineins and that Velma and this official ere simply on their way from one of the stores to the other bcu Ned saw theia. When Velma said she would be t'usy that night she meant it in a bt- j era! sense, and she was not entertaiu j ing some other young man, notw.tu j standing appearances, j Velma felt as bad about It as Ned. but she likewise possessed a consid i erable i.iiieunt of pride, and, knoing ! she was In the r.ght. although rcul-i- ing the circumstantial evidence was agalust her. she would not permit her- self to take the Hot step toward t 1 reconciliation. One evening, shortly after the j "busy" one. while she was try in.' to ! read and failing because of thought ! that intruded, she suddenly ratne to J a Realization that Ueethovt-n had d.s appeured. He had beii In the rttu ouly a moment previous and u i;st have slipped out when Velma went to the ice box at the end of the I'.H Here wa a chance to give her mind diversion and at the same time per haps fathom the mystery of the hi ss Ing cat. She stepped to the door sud looked ollt. Yes. far down the hall was Beetho ven, just starting down the stairs. She followed him to the second ami llienlYV to the first floor, and finally Into the back part of the basement, which was used as a storeroom and which con- j tained the furnace. From a distance! she saw the cat crawl through a win- i ciow of the basement, and she hurried ! upstairs ami dari-d outside. 1 lieetboveii was walking close to the - building, peering Into various wlu- dows that came in Ids way. She saw him stop before cue near the front of the house, and as she watched a hand came out of the aperture and seized the cat. drawing him Inside. Without stopping to consider whose room lVe thoven had entered. Velma hurried to the window and stood looking dov i, at Neil holding the cat 111 his arm- "What are you doing with my cat?" she demanded, in what Was ill tended to be stern tones. "lour cut? Nod inquired, trying to be somewhat cold. "What do you mean'; This Is my cat." j "He's mine and his name is Iheiho., veil 1" she snapped. i Kach looked defiance at the other, for a moment, then smiles toe the place of scowls oil both the faces. I "We both sielil to own him," Velma' said, demurely, kicking n pebble with her small boot. " hat can we d to settle it?" A desperate thought entered Ned's mind. Here was a chance to tir.-l out his fate and all the uncertainty he had I n laboring under for' months. l-'earing he would be lost If he hesi tated, he gave voice to the b g Idea without wuiting for a chance to change his mind. Standing there framed by the base ment window, a cat i raw ling over his shoulder, looking up eagerly ami somewhat timorously at a girl outsldt who was kicking a pebble around fool ishly to hide her confusion, he said: "There's only one way I know. Let's form n permanent partnership of our selves, and that will make all three ol ns happy. At least, I am In hopes that it will." She gave the pebble a furious kick that sent it spinning away. "It sure will," was her reply. TRIBUTE TO ESKIMO SKILL Explorer Confesses Admiration at Manner in Which the Native Igloo Is Constructed. In his "Four Years in the Whit North." I'oliald B. MacMillan write the following appreciative passage, with lis tribute to craftsmanship and orderliness; "It is a pleasure to see an Esklmc cut and handle snow. One cannot but admire the skill ami dexterity with which he cuts on the surface, creaks it out with his toe, lays it tip on the wall, bevels the edges, ami thumps It into place with his hand. I wonder! If there are any other people In the world who attempt to build an nrch or dome without support? Starting' from the ground In a spiral f rotn j right to left, the blocks mount high-; er iind higher, ever assuming a more horizontal position, until the last two i or three appear to hang In (he air, j the hist block locking the whole struoj ture.

"Kntering a newly constructed Igloo seems like a vision of fairyland, the light littering through the snow a beau- j tlttil ttheicid blue; everything-the bed. the two side platforms, the wall absolutely spotless." Inquisitive Bird. Some birds are awfully curious aid want to know what Is going on. So If they see a human being in their neigh borhood they will come close to, Inves tigate ami perhaps to scold, and one of these birds Is the Kentucky warbler, says the American Forestry associa tion. Washington. This bird has a pref erence for woods which are low and damp and ordinarily keep well within the de' ths of tangled thickets.
