The
negro
pulled
the
Kitten
out.
The
shake
of
the
beast
of
prey
seemed
to
have
stunned
the
victim,
really
to
have
saved
it
much
suffering.
The
Kitten
seemed
unharmed,
but
giddy.
It
tottered
in
a
circle
for
a
time,
then
slowly
revived,
and
a
few
minutes
later
was
purring
in
the
negro's
lap,
apparently
none
the
worse,
when
Jap
Malee,
the
bird-man,
came
home.
Jap
was
not
an
Oriental;
he
was
a
full-blooded
Cockney,
but
his
eyes
were
such
little
accidental
slits
aslant
in
his
round,
flat
face,
that
his
first
name
was
forgotten
in
the
highly
descriptive
title
of
"Jap."
He
was
not
especially
unkind
to
the
birds
and
beasts
whose
sales
were
supposed
to
furnish
his
living,
but
his
eye
was
on
the
main
chance;
he
knew
what
he
wanted.
He
didn't
want
the
Slum
Kitten.
The
negro
gave
it
all
the
food
it
could
eat,
then
carried
it
to
a
distant
block
and
dropped
it
in
a
neighboring
iron-yard.
