Jerry Todd and the rose-colored cat
mill. As she was no ordinary cat we placed her in a small cheese
box that had lost its strong smell and put some of Mrs. Maloney’s sunflowers on the grave. Red fixed up a marker on which he lettered:
Here lies Lady Victoria, A feline most forlorn, Who lost her lives--all nine of them-- By an overdose of chloroform.
Having thus paid our final respects to the rose-colored cat we went with Scoop to the brickyard office and listened while he telephoned to the sanitarium. The desk clerk informed him over the wire that Mrs. Kepple, having elected to motor to Tutter, was due to arrive at the sanitarium the following Monday morning.
