Simultaneously three speeding motor
cars slid to a sudden stop. The quick

moment cast startled eyes about, seek
ing the near victim. Then they laughed,
and it was the kind of laugh one de
lights to hear.
There was a softened note, a tender
touching note to it. For the moment
those people—all types and classes
were represented—forgot the heat of
the city, forgot their business, their
everyday cares and were essentially
human.
And the reason—a foolish, trifling,
insignificant reason it was, too. Only
a kitten, a tiny, tawny creature meas
uring not more than eight inches from
nosetip to tail, was slowly, and quite
leisurely picking its way diagonally
from one side of the street to the
other.
So small it was that it must leap,
rather than step over each car rail.
So small that it could not essay the
curbing of its own effort when it
reached there.
A richly gowned woman gave it aid.
In another moment woman, kitty, cars
and people had moved on.
NEW ONE CN UNDERTAKER
Woman in Mourning and Weeping
Softly Nicks Funeral Direc
tor for $26.
San Francisco, Cal.—Weeping softly
and wearing deep mourning, an attrac
tive woman operated successfully a
new confidence game, making a firm
of undertakers Iter victims, and after
paying for a $150 funeral for a “dead
relative,’ with a worthless check for
$176, disappeared with $26 change.
A warrant for the arrest of the wom
an, who gave the name of Mrs. B. M.
Davis, was issued on complaint of W.
,T. Thorpe, manager of the undertaking
lirm.
“Mrs.” Davis entered the establish
ment held a lace handkerchief to her
eyes, which were red with weeping.
Her clothing was correct. She finally
controlled her feelings with seeming
difficulty and addressing Thorpe said
that her “husband’s brother’s daugh
ter,” whom she described as being fif
teen years old, had died and she
wished to arrange for the funeral.
She picked out a casket and left in
structions to call for the body. Then
she produced the check for $176.
The bank was communicated with
and the hoax was uncovered.
