How
could
she
take
a
back
track
that
she
never
saw?
There
is
in
all
animals
some
sense
of
direction.
It
is
very
low
in
man
and
very
high
in
Horses,
but
Cats
have
a
large
gift,
and
this
mysterious
guide
took
her
westward,
not
clearly
and
definitely,
but
with
a
general
impulse
that
was
made
definite
simply
because
the
road
was
easy
to
travel.
In
an
hour
she
had
covered
two
miles
and
reached
the
Hudson
River.
Her
nose
had
told
her
many
times
that
the
course
was
true.
Smell
after
smell
came
back,
just
as
a
man
after
walking
a
mile
in
a
strange
street
may
not
recall
a
single
feature,
but
will
remember,
on
seeing
it
again,
"Why,
yes,
I
saw
that
before."
So
Kitty's
main
guide
was
the
sense
of
direction,
but
it
was
her
nose
that
kept
reassuring
her,
"Yes,
now
you
are
right--we
passed
this
place
last
spring."
At
the
river
was
the
railroad.
She
could
not
go
on
the
water;
she
must
go
north
or
south.
This
was
a
case
where
her
sense
of
direction
was
clear;
it
said,
"Go
south,"
and
Kitty
trotted
down
the
foot-path
between
the
iron
rails
and
the
fence.
