Nobod · knew where be oame from, and certainly nobody invitad him to come in, He walked Into the dining-room one summer evening throui;ch the open window, and ll.!!opplng one mo,ngled ear, or rather the fragment of an ear, which rema.ined a silent witnese of many a ha.rd-fought battle, he surveyed the family calmly, 1rnd curling up on the sofa, went to sleep. " Look at that disreputable oat I" e:xolaimed moth ?r, a.nd the entire family joined i11 a chorus of " Scat !" .But he did not " aca.t" ; he simply opened his remaining l'ye, winked good-naturedly, and want to a1~ep again. His Impudence was so cool, so determined, that we were speechless, and he was allowed to remain untll we had fi!llshed dinner, when father said to Tom : " Take that dineputable cat out into the ha.ck yard a.ad give him something to eat and let him go." But the atsrepntable cat had no idea of going. He had oome to stay, When the serva.nt opene(l the doo1· in the morning, he walked calmly in and took up bis place on the sofa, where we found him when we assembled at the broakfaat table, As the various member11 of the family entered the room, his ca.tshlp was treated to a shower of " see.ts" and exclamations which would have dfocoacerted a. lass 2elf possee11ed cat. But it had nBtthe slightasteffect upon him; he simply yawned, winked blandly with his single eye, and went to eleep a.gain. The act thi.t he was unwelcome, or that his general appea.rance was not such as to war· rant an enthusillostio reception Into a respec· table family circle, never seemed to strike him, or, If it did, he did ntlt mind. He hung around the houl!le for a day er two, until one morning mother g~zed at him, asleep on the sofa, and exclaimed, in despair: " What are we goJng to do with thi:.t diereputable ca.t ?" " What is he going to do with us ? you'd better say," replied father, sarcastically. " He's t aken possession." "But he leoks so much like a tramp,' objected mother, .faintly. "He doeu look like a ha.rd case," replied fa.ther, laughing. And there the subject was dropped. The c~t had won by hie Impudence ; and from that day he was recognized a.a a. humble member of the family. We tried to christen him, and ca.lied him Tom until our own Tom objected, then it was Mose a.nd Rough and 'l'ramp and half a dozen other approprl11ote names, all of which he accepted wlth the same ea.ey · philosophy which distingulahed all his a(ltlons. Bnt, after :i.11, we found it easier to refer to him as "that disreputable cat"-a title which he r eoognized by blinking h!a lone eye and pricking up the fragment of ear in a. . most rldiculons fashion. He grew fat and healthy, but no amount of prosperity, of good dinners, and comforta.ble napa could reotore h is lost eye or ragged ear ; he only !:Joked more llk:e a tramp. He never seemed to have any desire to be petted, though he endured stroking from members of the family, blinking iu a ha.If-contemptuous way at any evidence of kindness on our pa.rt. Hu slep~ most of the time; In fa.ct, I never aawa. oa.twhich spent so much of itil life in dreamy repose. He would dream, too, and often surprised the family by suddenly et!l.rting up from the sofa wltli most une11orthly howls, and then calmly t arning over to sleep again. Prosperity, however, developed two annoying traits of ohara.cter In "that dtareputs.ble oat," One was a most decided objection to being put out In the yard at nigll; (1 m d h .. wouhLquietly slip off and hide ln t.he moat unheard-of places when bed-time came) : t he other W!l.8 a.<l)J.ost lntenae hatred of uny one outside of our own family. When vlstlors ce.me, he would arch his back, flu.ff out h!a tail, and spit and growl a.t them, and several Umee lt was with the greateat <liffi culty that he was restrained from flying at them. Beggars were his especial avernien, or, In fact, any ono who did not come up to hie standard of ele~ance of attire. This trait WM sometimes funny, but oftener annoying, and we dally debated plans for getting rid of hfm. As we went into dinner the cook D!l.id, "M.aater Tom, I thought you tuck that cat a.wa.y this aftern9on ?" "We did," r~plled 'l'om, shortly. "'\<Veil, I thtntt it wau about an hour before you got home that 1·saw him shoot in through the back door and up the stairs." A ee~rch was ma.de. No sign of the cat was found, and it was deaided tha.t the oook must be mista.ken, That night, about twelve o'clock, a alight noise was heHd upstairs, followed by n most unearthly yowling, mingled with muttered oa.tba. Father, Tom, and I appeared in the hall a.t the same moment, and saw a man dashing down-stairs, about six steps at a time, with " tha.t disreput11oble cat" clinging tightly to his shoulders, scratching and epittlllll and growling with all hie strength. He was nea.rly at the bottom, when he gave a yell of pain a.nd fell. We ran down, secured him, called for the police, an.d had him taken to the sta.tlon·houee. The next day, in court, he explo.lned how he had offooted hio entr...nce through the scuttle, and was softly descending the att;lc stalrR when something 11uddenly landed on his shoulders with a horrible yell, and bega.n to make vicious scratches at his eyoa. He was trybig to escape, when we c11ought him. 'rhe cat had bitten through his ear, and the pain caused him to gtumblc and fa.11. '.l'hat night the " dlsroputable cat" wa.s wi' cep, aa usual, on the sofil in the diningroom, and took all our expre11sions of gratitude with his old philosophiou.l indiflerence. li'rom that time, however, no thought ef getting rid of him wa- ever e:xpreased.
