But notwithstanding, on a visit to tho closet next morniug I dis covered tho cako-box again ou tho ground, aud looking much tho worse lor its rough usage. While I was ex amining and wondering at its scratch ed appearance, a noise behind mo caused mo to turn, and thc.ro, looking at mo inquiringly, stood, quite fourloss ly, a big rat, and just bobind, coming out of a hole, was his companion, ap- j paroutly equally interested.
