“Won’t you dive Elmo some wed ones, too?” he pleaded. Billy entered with a cat under each arm. “Geewhillikins,” he introduced, “the best fighter in town,” and put down a stub-tailed, gray cat, half as large as the house pets, with “tom-cat” speaking from every hair of him. “I think mamma’s partial,—she lets sister’s cats come in the house, but not mine.” One brilliant Sunday Mr. Wells paced up and down in the sunshine before his little church.
