A CAT STORY.

THE STRÄNGE CASE OF BILL.

I picked up a chip of wood, pre-

The plers have been erected for the purpose of enabling observa- tions to be made as to the effect of cracks in the walls, but a pro- minent official of the. Office of Works assured a Daily Chronicle representative that so far there is no evidence of any danger to the fabric.

My laws he obeys when I am about, but when I am not about they simple do not exist for him. I do not like him.

The head-throwing; growling, sidle- discussion has run something like stepping progress of a this: "Dad, will you get a dog, why don't you get a dog, when are you going to get a dog" or alternatively (and more reckless; ly), "If I buy a dog license, will you get a dog?"

My part in the discussion has been "No." or "I'll see." or "Don't bother me," or "What about the garden?" After which the debate has been continued, "Dad, will, you ket a dog, why don't you.. and so forth.

Now everybody knows that you may say "Dog" or."Rat" to a cat till all's blue, and it will simply favour you with its "So-you're-the- village-idiot" stare. Refer, ofther to cuts or rats in the presence of a dog, and there is an immediate emotional crisis. Thus I have never noticed Bill listening to our meal-time discussions. His mind. has always seemed to be on, food.

But I am not so sure now.

How It Began.

I date the strange change I am about to describe to the day I Caught Bill sitting on a tulip purring a, hymn of praise to the Sun.

He was in a corner, and such was my sudden passion that I raised my hand to smite. "He did not dodge me and smash. several other tulips, as one might have expected. He simply sat up on his hind legs and begged.

His conduct, so startled me that

I merely said, "Well, come out of it, then." And he came out of it.. leating me a little shaken.

It may have been the next day or the day after-time is un- Important in these matters-that I was sweeping the paths. I sud- denly became aware of a heaviness in the broom. It was Bill. The foolish animal was biting the end of the broom, his front legs try- ing to hold it down while getting purchase with his back legs.

Nothing remarkable in that, you say. Perhaps not, except that we are now dealing with a cut nearly three years old. Let us then pro cead to the next incident.

Perhaps I am to blame for that -am anxious not to overstate my case. Coming into the kitchen anw Bill stretched on the rug hiting his front claws. For some reason or other I was moved to bend down and rub his chin. He gave a distinet grunt and rolled over on his back. I rubbed his sides and then gave him a good pat.. As I stood upright again Bill also stood. What did he do then? Je gave himself a shake, grunted again, and then buried his face in my slippers.

Is there anything in that? No? Well, what about this?. Not onë incident here, but two-a kind of twina, in fact.

Á Development,

Bill and I were in the garden (somehow or other we have developed this habit of walking about together) when I noticed what seemed an unmistakable rat hole. I turned to Bill. "Rats!" I hissed. "Fetch 'em."

His ears quivered in what I fancied Was a rudimentary emotional crisis. But he recover- ed himself sufficiently to look at mo with suspicion. "I say you know," said he look, "that's gar- den, old chap. Vorboten."

"You old hypocrite," I encered, "ns if you don't go over every inch of the garden every night."

And then once again I hissed, "Rats!"

Then I sighed almost with relief, for coming to my songes saw that Bill had not moved, but was gazing down at his paws thoughtfully.

The theory of the influence of the tide on the cracks is, it is understood; based largely on the fact that when the first cracks in the walls were discovered in 1918 it was noticed that they appeared to open and close periodically.
