Dpon their arrival the feline waa only 30 feet off the ground, out on a limb ana looking upon the fire men with a speculative and not too receptive eye. As the laddies erected their ladder and moved toward the eat, th cat retreated warily up th trunk of th tree. This game kept up until th two amoke eaters were 100 feet above th ground. At that dlsaylng height, which th cat didn't eem to ilk much better than they did. they reached an Impasse.

Straight paat the two firemen aha plunged, writh ing and twisting and clawing at the empty air In an effort to catch some thing, but to no avail.
