For the next few nonents she wavered back and forth, trying to convince herself that Jonathan v as her property and she had a right to go after him. But, though Tabby knew little about the nilky way and astronony, she had road every one of Sraily Post ' s lessons on eti- quette and knev tha;t it v as not proper for a 1 ' .y to do the pursuing. She had almost abandoned the iuca when she sat bolt upright and iicowed aloud, Why this is leap year. This rcnarkable truth so en- couraged her that she padded softly down the stairs and hustled out to the street, being careful that Mother Cat should not observe her departure The street before the house with the six flirtatious cats was barely more than an alley, bordered by teneuont houses. Just at the corner of the alloy Tabby hoard soneono speak, 7 hy, Tabby, what on earth are you doing out so late? Jonathan asked in aiiazoiient , Looking for you, gulped the fair lady in eiibarrassncnt , Y hy, I have been catching rats in Jones ' s garage ever since six o ' cloc ' :, Jonathan replied in quick defense.

Vvhen the first shoo caiie v hirling to the ground only a foot away from the couple, Tabby looked to Jonathan for help. But by this time a flower pot and several pans v ere making quarters close for comfort; and he darted off into the darkness, leaving poor Tabby to care for hei self. Not knov ing the neighborhood, c ' ..o fled in the wrong direction and ran straight into a bucketful of cold water. By the time Tabby had reached safety, she was a pretty disil- lusioned kitty. Here she had exposed herself to ridicule by ciiasing after a ton-cat. Ax d v hat did she find at the end of the chase bur a vain, selfish wooer who never thought of her in tines of danger. Sadly she shook her head. S.ao ' d kno better next time. Her motto would be: Look before you leap Elaine Johnson
