STRAY CAT RIDES IN TAXI

Rescued While Trying to Save a Few of Its Nine Lives From Swirling Autos. New York. —He is neither a kitten nor yet a full-glown coloraturo, lyrico, robusto, backyard fencico performer, but as a gray cat which arrived in a taxi cab, he is now in a position of prominence at the West Sixty-eighth street police station. Miss Ruth Blossom saw this gray cat in Columbus circle trying to save a few of its nine lives ducking swirling automobiles which, as is well known, swirl in all directions in that neighborhood. The gray cat was having such arduous experiences that Miss Blossom took it into her arms and called up the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, from where it was suggested that the nearest refuge would be a police station. Miss Blossom then gave the lucky gray cat a taxi ride to the Btation.
