- '. . 'sl- R. C. I. June, 1920 BOO-K OF REVELATIONS Chapter 13. And it came to pass in the reign 'of George CR.D.j I. that a cat after wandering in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights did come unto the gates of the Reg Coll lnstit. Now there abideth there a certain Biologist who is named Lobsinger. And as he did set his eyes upon the mamallia he did lust to disect it that he might bear witness unto the au- thority of a. certain book. Yea he even chased the quadruped for many cubits and finally did he make it 'even his own. And yea even Without delay did he gather about him his chosen friends and it came to pass that they gave unto the pitiable -creature even some ether which did make its heart beat slow and hasten Blissful repose much like unto sleep. Nor did they make much delay be- fore they set about to remove skin which did shine exceeding favorable before their eyes. And about six hours later Lobsinger said unto his friends, ' ' Let us now depart unto our abodes that We may make merrv until the sun dawneth. And like- wise did they proceed. And now it cameto pass that the dire results of the gas did leave the cat and even did it awake from its slumbers. And novv when it did re- veal unto itself the its hide had been coveted whilstit slept the mamallia did grow exceeding wrathful and swore Yeangence on the unrightcons offender. And now it came to pass that the quadruped did leave the hall of the Reg Coll lnstit to go forth to slay yea eve11 Lobsinger the Biolo- gist. But the Wind was even cold and the Cat did shiver much so that it did lose its way and after wan- dering for forty days and forty nights in the wilderness of the Was- cana. it died in the Nine Hundred and twenty-ninth day of its life of the dread disease Pneumonia.
