For Harriett. By FRANK H. WILLIAMS. 1509, Literary Press. Copyrighted, by Associated Harriett was a peculiar name for a cat; but, then, Harriett was a peculiar cat. Iloger Webster surveyed her quizzically as she lay in the sun on the boarding house steps. “Any feline but Harriett,” he de- clared, “would at least feel mildly per- turbed at the prospect of losing a home and a mistress.” “You'd think so, wouldn't you?’ an- swered Bessie Roberts, Bessie was very pretty and wholly charming, but at the present time a little frown of anxiety wrinkled her forehead. “1 simply don’t know what to do about it,” she continued. “The land- lady says that I've got to get rid of Harriett, and I can’t find any other place so convenient to my work where 1 can live. I suppose—I suppose,” she added wistfully, “that I shouldn't be go foolish over Harriett, but in some way she seems the only link between today and the other life. With all my people gone and Harriett some other place in this big city I'd feel too aw- fully. miserably lonely.” Roger saw that Bessie was near tears. “Poor, lonesome kiddie,” he thought. And, leaning over, he stroked Harriett very carefully. Harriett arch- ed her back, purred and rose slowly to her feet. Then, turning round. she jumped squarely into Roger's lap. “What a sensible cat!” Roger smiled at the girl. “You see, she likes me very much. If only every one—that Is, some one—liked me very, very much.” He glanced at the girl slyly. A little flush had spread over Bessie's face, and she kept her eyes fixed steadfastly on the cat. “I only wish they allowed cats in my boarding house,” he continued. “That's one of the troubles of living in a boarding house—you don't get the real, simon pure comforts of home. Now, I'll tell you what we'll do,” he cried, jumping to his feet. “We'll take Harriett with us and go on a tour of inspection in this neighborhood. We'll hunt up a nice, quiet street where there are little cottages instead of big houses, and when we see a nice, ‘homey,’ comfortable housewife in one of the homes we'll go in and ask her to keep Harriett for us.” “For us?’ queried the girl, with a little laugh. “Sure,” continued Roger, unabashed. “You don't think Harriett belongs to you alone, do you? I think Harriett would resent any such idea as that. She likes me too well, and T like her too well. No, indeed, I have a minor- ity interest in this cat.” The girl laughed and rose to her feet. - “Well, come along,” she sald. “I sup- | pose it's the best think we can do, and | as it's Subday afternoon we ought to be able to find lots of the people home.” ® * . * * Roger helped the girl down the steps, and, calling to Harriett, they walked down the street. Harriett, big, sleek and black, followed decorously enough until they reached a small, rather obscure cross street. Roger happened to be looking back . as they crossed this street and discov- ered Harriett very sedately ambling down the little thoroughfare. “Come here, Harriett,” Roger called and then whistled to the cat. Harriett paid not the slightest atten- tion, but continued her sedate walk away from Roger and the girl. Bessie called, but even to her Harriett paid no attention. “Well, I declare!” cried the girl In surprise. “Harriett has always been peculiar, but she has never acted like this before.” “Let's follow her and see where she goes,” cried Roger. “Perhaps she is looking for n home or perhaps she has a home already picked out.” “All right,” said Bessle. They turned back and hastened aft- er Harriett, who was now about a fourth of a block ahead. The street was a quiet one. Neither Roger nor Bessie was familiar with it and had paid but little attention to it in previ- ous times, Now, however, they glanced curious- ly at the small, rather cozy houses which lined the sides. Although erect- Bessle looked closely and gasped. There was Harriett, curled up tightly in the blaze of the sun, as if she had been in the habit of lying there just like that day in and day out for years. “Well.” cried the girl, “Harriett seems to be perfectly satisfied with the place.” “Yes,” acknowledged Roger. “I could be happy, too, in a home like this if 1 had the right person to share it with me.” He looked directly ay the girl For a fleeting moment her eyes met his, and then, startied and with her face flushed, she ran up the path to the veranda. “Why,” she exclaimed as she reached the first step, “there's no one, living here—the place is for rent!” Sh¥point- ed to a sign that had slipped from its position in a window. “Why, so it is!” cried Roger. “Har- riett can't stay here, of course—unless —unless”— He looked at Bessie with a smile full of meaning. “Of course she can't stay here!” cried the girl, making a grab for the cat. “I wish we could find a home for her, though, in in a nice little place like this.” She caught the cat up in her arms. “How Harriett would enjoy the place,” mused Roger. “Look, there's a big open fireplace in the front room, and there's a fine, dandy place where we could have our piano.” “We? gasped the girl. With her face aflame and with the cat clasped tightly she ran off down the path. But IHarriett, who had been purring very contentedly in her mistress’ arms, now became very angry. She snarled and dug her claws into Bessie's coat until the girl was forced to put her down, “Why, Harriett!” she exclaimed in pained astonishment. “What's the matter with he~? She never acted that way before.” “I'm sure I don't know,” replied Roger. “But look what she's doing now. Harriett may be a very peculiar cat, but she certainly knows a good thing when she sees it." He pointed at Harriett, who, on be- ing released, had torn frantically back up the path to the veranda. On the veranda she walked around in a circle once or twice and then curled herself up on the floor in almost the identical spot and almost the identical manner as before, “Well, I never!” cried the girl. She hurried back to the veranda and, sit- ting down on the top step, began pet- ting the cat. Roger lost no time in sit- ting down beside Bessie, “Dear!” he cried as he managed to imprison one of her hands. “Dear heart, why net follow the road Har- riett bas pointed out? Why not let this dear little house be Harriett's home and at the same time a real home for you and me? Come, dear, it only needs a minister and a marringe license to make us all three happy.” “Oh, IT will; I will!” she cried sud- denly. throwing her arms about Rog- er's neck. “We'll none of us be lonely again!” Harriett, with a sigh of content that appealed to the couple as almost hu- man, rose from her spot and, purring loudly, rubbed her side against the ! Ee er tet event sre 7 arm with which Roger was clasping | the girl. Other Times, Other Manners. Sir Algernon West strikes a curious note on the ear of the present genera- | tion in the course of a hook of remi- ed within recent years, they were al- | most old fashioned by comparison with the big buildings on the more im- portant streets near by. It seemed as | if the little street was a mere eddy in | the swirling life and progress all | around it. “Oh, I like this street!” cried Bessie. “It appeals to me, too,” declared Roger, with conviction. For several blocks they followed Harriett, who continued her steady course. At last they saw the cat turn into a gate in a charming stone fence, and they hastened after her, The fence inclosed a cozy little cot- tage, well set back from the sidewalk. In the yard were a couple of trees, a flower bed or two and a delightful path, bordered by a low hedge, which ran zp to the spacious veranda. The little home bad such a piquant, happy look that involuntarily both Roger and Bessie smiled as they gazed at it. Then Roger laughed. “Took who's on the veranda!” ‘0d he niscences, “One City and Many Men.” when he states that in his youth it wis considered highly improper for a wife to address her husband by his Christian name or for a son to ad- dress his parents without saying “sir” or “ma'am.” “I never heard wy mother call my father by his Christian name,” he writes, “and I recollect distinctly that the fame of a very fashionable and brilliant woman was seriously imper- fled because after some great man's death a letter from her to him was discovered beginning with his Chris- tian name. “The formal ‘sir’ was current every- where. At Eton we never recognized any departure from this practice, and letters between boy friends began, ‘My dear sir.’ “A friend of mine dining with Lady Jersey heard her say she never recol- lected her father, Lord Westmoreland, though specially attached to her sis- ter, Lady Lonsdale, calling her any- thing but Lady Lonsdale. And Henry Greville, who was present at the same dinner, said that he remembered his mother, Lady Charlotte, and her broth- er, the Duke of Portland, meeting in the morning at Welbeck abbey, when the salutations were: “‘How is your ladyship this morn- { ing? “I am quite well. your grace.” I am obliged to He Didn't Say It. He was a good little boy, and he lived not many miles from Boston. He never disobeyed his mother, he never called her names when her orders were not his wishes, and he had the face of an angel. Next door lived lit- tle Rosy, a girl who proved the prov- erb about small pitchers. One day Harry was allowed to go over to play with Rosy, but with strict orders not to take off his hat and coat to go in the house if Rosy conld not come out into the yard. Rosy could not come out, but would not Harry take off his things and piay inside? Harry quoted sadly his moth- er's injunction. “Your mamma is a silly.” sald Rosy crossly. Harry went home and told his moth- er whit Rosy had sald. “She is a very naughty little girl,” his mother de- clared. “You must never say such a word.” “No, mamma, T won't.” said the duti- ful Harry. - A few days later he was o tin for. bidden to do somethin: vii h he greatly desired to do. “Maman” suid he, lifting to hers his anzeli- face, “do you remember what Rosy e1i/d about vou?’ New York Tribune.
