One
full
meal
is
as
much
as
any
one
needs
in
two
or
three
days,
and
under
the
influence
of
this
stored-up
heat
and
power,
Kitty
was
very
lively.
She
walked
around
the
piled-up
rubbish,
cast
curious
glances
on
far-away
Canary-birds
in
cages
that
hung
from
high
windows;
she
peeped
over
fences,
discovered
a
large
Dog,
got
quietly
down
again,
and
presently
finding
a
sheltered
place
in
full
sunlight,
she
lay
down
and
slept
for
an
hour.
A
slight
'sniff'
awakened
her,
and
before
her
stood
a
large
Black
Cat
with
glowing
green
eyes,
and
the
thick
neck
and
square
jaws
that
distinguish
the
Tom;
a
scar
marked
his
cheek,
and
his
left
ear
was
torn.
His
look
was
far
from
friendly;
his
ears
moved
backward
a
little,
his
tail
twitched,
and
a
faint,
deep
sound
came
from
his
throat.
The
Kitten
innocently
walked
toward
him.
She
did
not
remember
him.
He
rubbed
the
sides
of
his
jaws
on
a
post,
and
quietly,
slowly
turned
and
disappeared.
The
last
that
she
saw
of
him
was
the
end
of
his
tail
twitching
from
side
to
side;
and
the
little
Slummer
had
no
idea
that
she
had
been
as
near
death
to-day,
as
she
had
been
when
she
ventured
into
the
fox-cage.
As
night
came
on
the
Kitten
began
to
feel
hungry.
She
examined
carefully
the
long
invisible
colored
stream
that
the
wind
is
made
of.
She
selected
the
most
interesting
of
its
strands,
and,
nose-led,
followed.
In
the
corner
of
the
iron-yard
was
a
box
of
garbage.
Among
this
she
found
something
that
answered
fairly
well
for
food;
a
bucket
of
water
under
a
faucet
offered
a
chance
to
quench
her
thirst.
