"As yon know. Riddle was s real eat. He belonged to a little girl named Gertrude. She had tried to say •Kitty' when she was a very small glrL “ And 'Biddle' was the best she was able to da So they bad always sailed him Biddle. “ He was a tiny kitten when Ger trude was a baby. He bad wandered to the house where Gertrude lived Wore a Little Collar With Many Bella and as he seemed to be a little waif kitty, Gertrude's mother and daddy took him In and gave him a comfort able home. “ Biddle waa always called Ger trude's cat for be arrived only a lit tle bit later than Gertrude bad ar rived. “ Biddle was a very remarkable cat He waa devoted to the family and be did many very clever things. He al ways wore a little collar with many bells upon it so aa to warn the birds that be was about, and would catch and eat them if they were not care ful. “ Gertrude had thought that was only fair to the birds and the was quite right “In time Gertrude grew up. She waa almost a 'young lady* now and Biddle was getting to be a very old cat “ Oh, Biddle didn’t care much about adventures aa he once had. He didn't care to wander and play as he had ‘D ear Editor: when he was only a silly, playful little kitten. "H e liked to alt In a Mg chair which waa always called Biddle's chair, and there he would sleep—though when the family told visitors of the won derful things Biddle did he always half blinked his eyes and listened to what was being said about him. "Uls family had moved from the house where they had lived for a great many years. They hsd gone to auother house In the same town and Biddle had waited until the last of the furniture had been moved before he went along, too. "H e was quite willing to go with them, lie knew they must go And he made blmsetf quite at borne In the new house— hla old chair was there and the family were there and If he felt sad at all. he made the best of things. “ He grew older and older of course and with age came great feebleness But he waa very happy and very con tented. “ He was petted a great deal. Old age was as nice as youth, he had de cided. "One day he acted rather strangely. He seemed to be thinking very hard. “ Suddenly be got up from hla chair. Suddenly be moved, though for a long time be had always moved very carefully, very slowly "With a tremendous spurt he had Jumped up and had bounded out of the house with all hla one-time youth ful sprightlineea. “ He unshed across the street and out o f sight. "In a little while the telephone rang. The people who now lived tn the house where Biddle had once lived were telephoning. * ‘Biddle Is here, they said. “ We beard a cat purring and found him outside the door. He seemed to want to come In. He ran right Into the study and sat on the desk—Just where you once told us be always used to sit, and there be is now. We thought you might worry about him as you said be never left the house these days.’ "An hour passed. Biddle bad sat ou the desk all that time, taking In all the dear familiar walla, the dear familiar glow and sparkle from the fireplace. Suddenly his energy seemed to have left him. “ Wearily he got down and dragged himself borne. He went back to his old chair. Yes, he was an old. old cat and his days would not be many more. But he had seen his old home again. He bad made one last splendid spurt and It had carried him through “ Biddle had bad his last adven ture.” (Copyrlcbt.) <THE WHY of SUPERSTITIONS By I YE been thinking abont the little 1 things that affect a man's pros perity.

But then some one Invented wood tees, and now the sand consumption Is cut way down.

But that can’t represent much business to an up-and-coming sand bank. I doubt If a good man could keep up his Interest Just In supplying sand for those things. —FRED BARTON. (Copyrlaht.) ---------- O---------- GABBY GERTIE H. IRVINQ KINQ YARROW I N MANY parts of this country and * Canada the yarrow la used by young persons for purposes of love divina tion. The custom varies In different localities, but nearly all are accompa nied by a rhyming incantation. One way Is to pick a sprig of yarrow, put the stem up the nose and say: Tarrow, yarrow. If he loves me ae 1 love be. A drop o f blood I’d wish to sea If blood appears the dlvinor la loved—otherwise not. Another way Is to place a sprig of yarrow under your pillow when. If your love is returned, the one you love will appear In your dreamt. In England they say that In order to make this charm work, the yarrovf must be gathered. In the case of a maiden, from a young man's grave. In folk-medicine yarrow la recom mended for the ague, and It really does possess slight tonic and astrin gent qualities. Just why the yarrow should be sup posed to have power In matters of love divination Is not very clear, but such power baa been ascribed to It from the earliest times and la an ootgrowtb of northern mythology. The “ young man’s grave” In the English version of the yarrow superstition, the fact that in the older forma the yarrow plucked must be the first one found In the spring, and that In many of the fo r mulaa the Idea of blood appears, makes it highly probable that the plant was In some way connected with Balder the Beantlful, the young Norse god who was slain by the blind god Hodur. Several points In Professor Frazer'« work on the Raider myth tend to confirm this supposition.
