Windows
opened
all
around,
human
voices
were
heard,
but
the
Cat
scene
went
on.
"Yow-yow-ow!"
rumbled
the
Yellow
Peril,
his
voice
deepening
as
the
other's
rose.
"Yow!"
and
he
advanced
another
step.
Now
their
noses
were
but
three
inches
apart;
they
stood
sidewise,
both
ready
to
clinch,
but
each
waiting
for
the
other.
They
glared
for
three
minutes
in
silence
and
like
statues,
except
that
each
tail-tip
was
twisting.
The
Yellow
began
again.
"Yow-ow-ow!"
in
deep
tone.
"Ya-a-a--a-a!"
screamed
the
Black,
with
intent
to
strike
terror
by
his
yell;
but
he
retreated
one
sixteenth
of
an
inch.
The
Yellow
walked
up
a
long
half-inch;
their
whiskers
were
mixing
now;
another
advance,
and
their
noses
almost
touched.
"Yo-w-w!"
said
Yellow,
like
a
deep
moan.
"Y-a-a-a-a-a-a!"
screamed
the
Black,
but
he
retreated
a
thirty-second
of
an
inch,
and
the
Yellow
Warrior
closed
and
clinched
like
a
demon.
Oh,
how
they
rolled
and
bit
and
tore,
especially
the
Yellow
One!
How
they
pitched
and
gripped
and
hugged,
but
especially
the
Yellow
One!
Over
and
over,
sometimes
one
on
top,
sometimes
another,
but
mostly
the
Yellow
One;
and
farther
till
they
rolled
off
the
roof,
amid
cheers
from
all
the
windows.
They
lost
not
a
second
in
that
fall
to
the
junk-yard;
they
tore
and
clawed
all
the
way
down,
but
especially
the
Yellow
One.
And
when
they
struck
the
ground,
still
fighting,
the
one
on
top
was
chiefly
the
Yellow
One;
and
before
they
separated
both
had
had
as
much
as
they
wanted,
especially
the
Black
One!
He
scaled
a
wall
and,
bleeding
and
growling,
disappeared,
while
the
news
was
passed
from
window
to
window
that
Cayley's
Nig
had
been
licked
at
last
by
Orange
Billy.
