He arose, there fore, raised the window and invited the felines to go henee, but they prefered to remain. Thereupon he went out into the "stilly night, " and siezing a stick of stove wood he sent it in the direction of the musically inclined cats. Great remoteness was at once put between their catships and that stick of wood. The club, however, was not content with the performance of its legitímate mission, but going off at a tangent, crashed through the window of one Mr. Katner, who immediately sallied forth. with an ax and a great flow of words, which we dare not repeat. Niblack experienced [some difficulty in restraining him froin the commission of some violent act but finally pacifled him by promising to mend his window when day arrived. Peace once more reigned, but between the cats 'and Kat-ner, Niblack was despoiled of a goodly portion of his nights' repose. Hereaf ter Niblack will endure the ills he has rather than fly to those he knows not of.
