When the simple and the unusual aro

THE CAT QERKEN.
"My name," said the cat, "Is (ierketv
I am one of the best looking cats III
1 the neighborhood. In fact I am not
1 simply ono of the best looking cats I
am the very best looking, llnniNomu
should be aiioiher name for me. I
could have It If I wished."
(Ierken was seated otitlde a butcher
shop, lie was upon a box and be
swished his tall around as he made
these remarks to another cat who lived
down the street.
"It's not that you are so good look- '
lug." sold the other cat whose name
was Waif, lie bud been so nilini'd he
cause be had had so many different
homes be was a little wall' cat.
"Whatever do you mean by that?"
asked (Ierken. If he had not been so
happy silting In the sunshine he would
have been very angry, but be simply ,
could not get bis temper up. No, the
sun was too delicious. The warm wind
felt so nicely on his soft fur, and bo ,
lunl nothing to worry him.
"I mean." said Waif, "that you are
not so good looking, but that one would
almost think you were." i
"Nonsense," said (Ierken. "How can
one think a creature Is g 1 looking If ,
the creature Is ugly? That's ipilte Im
possible. Anyone can see with eyes
that I am h'tmlsomc. Therefore they
would nuturaliy think I was. And
therefore I am. See?"
"That's not what I mean." said Waif.
"What do you mean?" asked (ierken. '
"I mean that you haven't beautiful
fur, that Is very long nor any special 1
coloring that Is lovely. You are almost
good looking because you are so
healthy. Your fur l.s not wonderful
but it nlways looks as If you were so
well fed." i
"I am, too," said (Ierken, contented
ly. ;
"Ami you look so big nnd fat mil
well that you seem like a handsomo I
cat." I
"Ob well." said (ierken. "If I seem 1
like a handsome cut It's Just about tho
same ns being one. I am satisfied."
"I should think you would be," said ,
Waif. "You're a great big spoilt cat, '
nail I envy you." ,
"Ah," said (ierken, "I'll tell you a
f-eeret."
"Po," said Waif. 1
"You are not the only creature who
envies me. Ah no, indeed, you uru i
not." !
"I can easily believe." said Waif,
"that you are the envy of all the cats '
In the neighborhood. In fact I have
often beard them talking of how they
envied yon and your home In the
butcher shop. We see you, when wo 1
go past the shop, sitting on a stool,
Just n though you were a customer
and ci.iild pay for your meat. You
weren't told to get down. No, you
were t rented Just exactly as If you
were giving an order and were saying,
"'I'lease send It around In time l'or
luncheon."
"That Is all part of tho wonderful
secret I am going to tell you," said
i ierken. "You say the cats In the
neighborhood envy me. Hut they lire
rot the only creatures who envy me!
tuts: Hah! 1 am envied by bigger
tblng'i hy people. Yes, the great,
grown-up ladles envy mo when they do
their marketing."
"Why?" asked Waif. "Can't they
pet all they want to eat?"
"Ah, there Is the wonderful part of
the secret tin- interesting reason wny
they envy me so much. Yes, they can
get all they want to eat If they pay
for It. They can't get It for absolutely (
nothing the way I can. They have to

"Oh," said Waif, "how wonderful
you are. And how lucky to belong to
tho butcher."
"Ah, that's becanso I'm so handsome
