Punishment Was Swift

Dick Walker Uves at No. 15 Vandam street, and is manager of an uptown glassware emporium, says New York World. Animáis of all sorts lie is fond of, especially dogs and monkeys. The mate of a Brazilian snip recently brought him a monkey which he named Adam. The simian was very tame, and was allowed the liberty of Mr. Walker's residence and back yard. The fence there was a favorite roosting-place for Adam until Priday. Mr. Walker was looking out of the window, and in the next yard saw a mother cat with three or four kittens. She carried them one by one in her moutn and desposited them on the grass plot. Adam was gravely watching the proceeding, and, suddenly descending into the neighbor's yard, h seized a kitten as he had seen the cat do, and with it dangling from nis jaws, he scraaibled up the fence. He was not slow either, for right behind him was Mrs. Cat, with her back up and her tail as big as a muff. Along the fence to the window Adam ran, and jumped into the room. Mr. Walker took the kitten from him just in time, and shut the window. Mrs. Cat knew no stopping, however, and through the glass s!ie dashed, and after Mr. Adam. Walker managed to separate them, but not until he was scratched and bitten, too. Adam was punished severely by the enraged cat, and whenever he sees one now he runs under a sofa and hides. He still owes Mr. Walker the price of a pane of glass.
