Like Cats .: Fred Cornelins Teat miles straight out into the des - Ott from .'Demitig, New Mexico, -stands lonely cabin, in which lives an old urian, 11r. Tom Crosbey, better known as "Old Tom."-' Old Tom makes his living, by panning gold and doing odd lobs about ranches and miningcamps, Save for another. prospector's cabin, six miles north of him, the nearest house is at Deming, ten miles away. Tom. Crosbey has no pets, nor floes he want any. He says that 11 he takes care of his saddle horse and two pack. burros, he has done a -plenty. He does not care for dogs; and as for .eats, well, he just can't stand their pr'es• ence. • Yet the old man Is a kind- hearted fellow. IIe has been known to risk his own life In climbing to the top of a telegraph pole to rescue a black cat that had kittens under a ranch house. The old nian does- not •go to town more than is necessary; and when he goes it takes the best part of a day for him to ride his horse there and back. One morning he awoke to find a mice black and white cat scratching at his front door. He tried to drive her away,' but •the cat had definitely decided to make this her hone; so she went out to the barn and 'made , her .a bell in the hay -loft. The old man found her there when he went out to feed his stock. lie tried' again to run her off, but she only ran back to the cabin. The next day the was again in the hay -loft. Tom Crosbey could stand ne more of her, so he caught her and put her into an oat sack. ' "I'11 take you to, Sally Gray's in Deming," he said, "she ie foolish about cat's, and will bo glad to glye you a home." • Twenty minutes later he was riding • his horse toware. Deming with the sash hanging across his shoulder. ' It was a hard trip, for the weather was hot and the sand was deep, making it hard going for the .horse. Just the same, Pussyshad to havea home, and that was the only way to get her one Now Sally Gray owns the boarding- - house, and she was badly in need of a good cat, for the rats, as she said, were about to oat her out of house and home. So when Tom Crosbey rode up and presented Sally with a fine black and white cat, she was very happy. She gave old Tom a hearty hand -shake and said that he was the -best old tlesert fat in the desert, and for him to come right in and have din- ner with her before starting back. Gladly the old man accepted her invi- tation, for he knew that she was the best cook in the state, and, too, he was very hungry. • For two hours after dinner the man • and woman•taiked, but when the 8hacl- owe-beganto lengthen, old Tom bade §e11y good -by and mounted his horse for the long ride home. The return trip was made more quickly, for it was • not so hot now, and the horse 'wanted to get to his comfortable quer tern whore he •could rest. When they arrived at the cabin, old • Tont unsaddled the horse and put him in the stable, then went up to the hay -loft to get some hay. As he stop- ped over to get the hay, he heard a sound that alniost caused him to tum- ble out of the Loft. It was the meow of a kitten. Looking under one side of the hay -moor he saw three kitchens' not yet old enough to open their eyes. \Nell; what do you know about that?"' •the old man said in a loud voice. "Three kittens and ten )pities away from their mother. Sure 'sylph old Pussy had a -told me she fetched Mittens upihere..' It sure would have saved me a long, hard tripe' It was almost sunset when old Tom mounted kis tired horse to mete a second trip to Sally Gray's that clay.. "I sure hate,to make' you do .this," he told his horse, but these here 'kit- tens must get to their mother, and this is the only way to get them there." It was two hours :after dark when tiro horse stopped at Sally Gray's boarding-house., You should have seen that lady's face when old Tom handed her the..threo kittens!.-• "I still say you are Abe best old As a rule, properly fertilized wheat matures from a week to ten days earlier than unfertilized wheat.

The Firestone Balloon' Tread, scien- tifically designed three years ago, and unchanged today has the wear -resisting qualities that. give thousands of extra miles. This tread must be placed on a carcass that has the qualifications to withstand terrific flexing. The Firestone carcass is made of cords dipped in rubber solution which not only saturates and inplates every fibre of every cord, but unifies sidewalks with carcass, elimin- ating any possibility ofseparation under the extreme flexing of low- pressure tires. The Firestone Dealer in your locality will gladly explain the Gum -Dipping process, the scientifically designed tire tread, and other advantages that only Gum -Dipped Tires can give. See him today.
