A CAT STORY.
The girls employed by the Ansonia Brass Company have a pet cat, which they feed from their dinner-pails. For some time they noticed that it went off every day after eating, and presently returned with an English sparrow, as if for dessert. Naturally the girls began to wonder how it could catch the birds so regularly, and the cat was watched. One of the girls had given it a piece of bread. This the cat took in its mouth and carried out into the yard, where it broke it into pieces and placed it on a concrete walk. Then pussy hid behind some boxes, and pretty soon a flock of sparrows alighted to pick up the crumbs, whereupon the cat made a spring and picked up a bird.
