But Robert is a man with a man's heart and n man's courage. "I shall not shirk the bath," said he. "I'll fill the tub with cold water and, after I have finished shaving, I'll jump right in." Cheered by this evidence of his indomitable spirit, he put the plug in the bathtub, turned on the cold water, and, after adjusting his safetv razor, looked around for his shavinK brush. It was not in 'its accustomed place. , Stirred to the depths ot his being by tne malevolence aispiayea by somebody or other in deliberately hiding the belongings of ono of the best nnd kindest-hearted of men, he gazed wildly this way and that and But let us leave these stirring scenes for a moment to consider the ways of Madame Pulcx Irritans, an Apache of the Epidermis, some times known as Aphaniptern, so called because every nip means a tear. In the depths of a gray foicst, a forest so dense that no ray of light penetrated its fastnesses, she awoke from a brief nap and with a finical care, peculiarly feminine, fastidiously limbered her six long stout legs, shook the snarls out ot her long tnreau-iixe teeicrs, and satis fled herself that her oral appendages woie in good working order. Then eracefullv she mounted the grass-like foliage of the forest, bearing it down under her feet, its supple quality aiding rather than retarding gracefully she mounted her ascent. Perched lightly, as on a springboard, on the surface of her huge domain, she preened herself, conscious of the fact that of all animals in existence she had no equal in the long jump. Plump she was and well-conditioned, for every inch of ground in her worla provided her sustenance. But she was a gourmet and had in her mind a particularly succulent morsel for breakfast. She therefore swayed on her haunches, her strong hind legs contracted like a spring under pressure and then It was a beautiful jump full seven feline leagues and it landed her just where she wanted to go. She was on a shopping expedition, but this was no bargain-counter rush, and she had time to go to the fountain. Inserting what might have been a piercing stylet or a straw into the neck of her feeding bottle she allowed her suctorial proboscis to do the rest and was content. Which was why the Jinx, Mrs. Purdon's Angora kitten, sat down outside the bathroom door to scratch behind its left car with its left hind foot and that was how it camo about that Robert, wildly rush ing forth, chanced to trend on its tail.
