An Alp-Climbing Kitten
Tourists who climb the Blumlisalphorn, which towers 12,000 ft. to the south-vest of Muerren, in Switzerland, have found a new guide—a black kitten. For some time past every party of tourists climbing the peak has been met half-way up and accompanied to the summit by this small mountaineer, which skips from rock to rock with his tail straight in the air. A tourist on one occasion thoughl the creature would be grateful if brought back to civilisation, so he tucked the kitten in his haversack. This he left at a halting-place. When he returned, both haversack and kitten had vanished. The next day, however, when another party of tourists stopped at the usual meeting place, they saw the black kitten watching them wistfully from a neighbouring cat.
