BOY WHO SAID "GARN."
Sir Robert Gkrwer, M.P., chairman of the R.S.PXJ.A., speaking at Alton, Hampshire, England, saids "Some time ago I was walking down Bond Street, London, and saw a poor, miserable cat in the road which looked as if it would be run over. A ragamuffin dashed into the road, caught the cat at the risk of his own life, and placed it on the pavement. "I went to Mm and said, 1 am chairman of the R.S.P.C.A., and would like your name.' "'Gain,* replied the boy. From his attitude it appeared that he did not believe me, and I said, 'I am what I say I am and would like your name and address to recommend you for a medal. Wouldn't you like a medal?' "The little ragamuffin turned and said, 'A gentleman told us we had got to be kind to animals and not expcct any reward.' The lad then turned on his heels and bolted."
