"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.
