1►iy aunt Sophronia never liked me
I don't know. why, So far as I lino
I never placed a straw hi her pathway
nor treated her with anything but th
respect due the maiden sister of one'
wife's maternal grandmother—to
such was the relationship she bore t
pre. Yet the fact remained perfectl
plain to me, and alas to Angelina, my
wife, that the dear old lady always
regarded me as an interloper in the
Trotter fancily (my wife's mother was
a Trotter) and only condescended to
put up with me for Angelina's sake
She simply tolerated me, as the. hus-
band of her grandniece—that was all
Now, I won't go so far as to say
that I reciprocated the antagonistic
feelings cherished for me be aunt
Sophronia; I didn't positively dislike
her, but I can't say the same for her
cat.
Beezlebub was his name. I don't
pretend to know why e respectable,
church -going woman of sixty-nine
summers and Puritan ancestry should
pick out such a cognomen for a cat,
but it certainly fitted him all right.
He was a We, black, yellow -eyed mon-
ster with a slow and stately trea.i. and
when he wasn't curled up in m;: :'Mor-
ris ch::ir asleep, with claws in readi-
ness to protest against being sat upon,
he was stealthily prowling about look-
ing for an opportunity to make a nuis-
enee of himself—acrd he generally sue-
eeeded in finding it.
Aunt Sophronia was perfectly
itaare of my antipathy to cats, yet she
insisted on bringing Beezlebub with
her every time she dropped in on us
for a six -weeks' visit, whit•h she did
about four tinges a year. This footed
up twenty-four weeks annually that
we had aunt Sophronia and Beezlebub
in our midst.
When aunt Sophton e finally died—
at her own home acrd in her own bed,
es it happened—she willed me her cat.
fust Bee ebrib—that's all. True,
An..etma
got some antique furniture
q r
and a few keepsakes, and several thou-
sand dollars in cash; but all I got was
sympathy from my friends and Beezle-
bub from aunt Sophronia.
The cat clause (pardon the pun) in
the will was as follows:
"I give and bequeath to Stanley
Gray, husband of my grandniece
Angelina Gray, nee Trotter, my black
cat Beezlebub, to cherish and care for
during the natural lifetime of said cat,
and it is lay wish that he accept this
legacy with the full knowledge that he
does so subject to my displeasure if
he neglect or abuse s.'1 eat during its
lifetime. or be the cause of its untime-
ly taking off, by poison, drowning,
shooting or other form of violence."
"Of course you will accept for
aunty's sake, won't you, dear?" plead-
ed Angelina. "and well take care of
13eezlelrib and coddle him as if he were
our very own pet pussy, won't we?"
"Oh. yes, we'll coddle Beezlebub all
right," I said sarcastically.
"Bet you will accept the legacy,'
won't you, Stanley. for my sake, if not
for aunt Sonhronia's? I never could
bear to see Beezlebub compelled to live
among strangers. He would he dis-
contented anywhere but here, now that
his mistress is gone."
Well, what was I to do? I saw that
Angelina's worldly happiness (net to
mention Beeziebub's) depended on
having the cat around the premises—
sort of an extra member of the family,
as it were; so I gave in. •
And right here, let me confess that
I have never regretted doing so.
Beezlebub has been with us now two
years and he has made a place for
himself in the household of the Stan-
ley Grays, as the society editor would
put it, that no other animal, nor even
human being, I might say, could fill.
On the start, it .is true, we had our
little spats and differences of opinion,
Beezlebub and T. I objected in particu-
lar to his habit of jumping up on my
writing table and clawing my manu-
scripts off into the waste basket. But
after a while I found that that was
where most of them belonged, and
Beezlebub was right. He was only
anticipating the judgment of some dis-
criminating editor and saving me from
a useless expenditure of postage
stamps. During the first eighteen
months after Beezlebub was Left to us
by nay wife's aunt Sophronia the fol-
lowing events hearing on this veraci-
ous history took place:
1. Beezlebub proved himself the
champion mouser and ratter of the
neighborhood,. keeping the premises
where he held forth entirely free from
these rodents.
2. Won the first prize at a free -for-'
all cat show, and did it easily in spite
of a hundred yowling competitors.
3. Was abducted, soon afterward by
some • conscienceless cat -fancier and
swiftly borne away in an automobile,'
but escaped and came back, somewhat
ruffled but still in the ring, a few
hours later.
4. Whipped two canine intruders at
once in a three -cornered cat -and -dog
fight and chased them ignominiously
off the premises.
.; you remember?" he led oil as soon as
w: he w ass .seated.
'Quite eeriest:' said I. '`I have not
o forgotten the circumstances. ]far. from
s' it."
r. ••I. the cat alive?" he demanded
o,'! next.
y! • "Very teach so," I assured him
"You would think so if you could see
him chase the stray dogs oil the place
' as fast as they canna along. He doesn't
hesitate to tackle anything from a
' Spatz to a Russian wolfhound.
. ; "Have you ever thought of selling
or getting rid of the animal?" he
q'.leried, after a brief pause.
"Never even dreamed of it," I re-
' plied. "Why, I refused $50 for that
cat right after he captured the blue
ribbon at- the Suburban Dog and Cat
Exposition."
"I am aware of that fact," he said
calmly. "In fact, it was an emissary
of aline that offered you the money.
I rather expected that you would be
wilting to dispose of the animal at
that price, but as you declined I am
going to make you another offer.
Would $100 be a temptation to sell
him?"
"Not the slightest."
• "Suppose I were to double the
offer?"
"My answer would be the same: De-
elieed with thanks!"
-Then. the antagonism • that y eu
former:y cherished toward the cat has
''een replaced, I take it, by a feeling
of sympathy and admiration?"
"Call it what you like, I certainly:
have become greatly attached to that
cat. In fact, Beezlebub and I are the
best of chum_. If Sophronia Trotter
had an Idea that she was going to har-
row up my feelings for the balance of
my life by willing me that cat—well,
she has another guess coming!"
. At this juncture Beezlebub came
strolling leisurely into the room,'
sprang upon my lap and from my lap
to the top of my desk, stretched him-!
self out comfortably on a pile of
magazines and newspapers, and gazed
down on aunt Sophronia's lawyer and
myself with the wise and gravely im-
partial air -of an owl or a sphinx. "I;
declare, that cat winked at me just'.
now!" chuckled the lawyer. "Yes, sir,'
winked his right eye at me dust as mf'
he were human. I actually believe that'
cat knows all about the business that
brings me here."
"Well, if he does," said I, "he cer-
tainly has the advantage of me." 1
"And I am very happy to enlighten'
you," responded the little lawyer:
briskly. "In the first plaee, as you'
perhaps already know, Sophronia
Trotter was a peculiar woman and had.
her own way of doing things—even a'
favor or a kindness. If she caught a
small boy in her jam closet she would
probably give him a sound spanking
the first thing she did, and then fill
him up with jam and send him away;
happy afterward.
"I've been her legal adviser for the
past twenty years, during which per-;
iod it was generally she that did the
advising and all that was left for me;
to do was to carry out her wishes.'
Now, when she made her will dispos-
ing of her property she held out a'
little nest -egg of $20,000 in govern -1
ment bonds which, the instant you re-
fused to harbor her pet or misused or'
neglected it in any way, or voluntarily;
parted with said animal, for a mone-
tary consideration or otherwise, was
to be invested in a home for friendless
cats with Beezlebub as the chief bene-
ficiary.
"Such were her written instructions
to me when the trust fund was placed
in my hands; but it was further pro-
vided that if at the expiration of
eighteen months from the date of her
death I was satisfied that Beezlebub
had found a welcome home with you
and was being well cared for and ap-
parently happy and contented, the cat
fund was to go to you and your wife,
share and share alike, to enjoy and do
with absolutely as you see fit. I have
the bonds here in my bag, and if you
and Mrs, Gray will favor me with your
autographs on this receipt I have filled
out,.I will wind up my business. by
turning the securities over to you, with
my congratulations on your good for-
tune."
And Beezlebub, calm, unmoved,
majestic, blandly looked down upon us
from his exalted position and solemnly
winked his right eye once snore—this
time at me.
(The End.)
In short, Beezlebub constituted him-
self Inspector- General and Chief -
Warden of the Stanley Gray menage
(not menagerie, please), and was
eapidly making himself an indispens-
able fixture in the household, when one
day I was surprised by a call front the'
lawyer who had handled the most of,
aunt Sophroxtias legal business during
her lifetime, and who had drawn up
her last will and testament.
"Your deceased aunt, Sophronia!
Trotter, bequeathed you in her will a
certain black cat known as Beelebub,
Packing Oranges.
Oranges' are picked by hand and
wrapped by hand, but the rest of the
business of sending them to market is
done almost entirely by machinery.
Very important is the mechanical
arrangement by which the oranges,
rolling along runways under the in-
fluence of gravity, are made to sort
themselves according to sizes, those
of each size failing into a separate bin.
Alongside the bins sit a row of
young women, whose business it is to
wrap and pack the oranges in boxes.
Each one has at her left hand a
quantity of tissue sheets of the proper
size on a tray. With her right hand
she plucks an orange from the bin,
with her left she grasps a paper sheet.
A few rapid movements and the box
is filled and ready to be removed and
nailed up, an empty one taking its
place,

To Freshen Furs.
Many owners of furs, on receiving
them from cold storage or on taking
them from their summer packing box-
es, are distressed to observe that the
fur --even; the most handsome --ap-
pears dead and lusterless, a condition
most noticeable when subjected to the
test of comparison •aaaith a new set.
Furs in this condition are not attrac-
tive, and it is well worth the trouble
of applying the Russian remedy,
which both cleans and freshens.
The dead appearance of fur, as a
rule, is due simply to the fact that it
is soiled. It never seems to occur to
most persons that any but white fur,
becomes soiled, but it does. To clean'
it the Russians, who use more fur
than any other people, take rye bran,
which is heated in an„ earthen pot
until it is as hot as the hand ctln
stand, being stirred all the while, and
pour it upon the fur in liberal quan-
tities, rubbing it in thoroughly. They
then brush out all particles of bran
with a clean brush, or shake and
pound the fur.
