evidently sandy didnt take kindly to the country and much preferred the city rats to those fat field mice so easy prey to country toms perhaps sandy was lone some but at any rate he decided to hike for toronto reaching -mark- hanrhefell into bad company when some boys indulged in a little sport at- sandys expense and left him minus whiskersthe tip of his tail and a bit of fur however knocking about town he later made friends with mr robert fleming fortun ately too for sandy mr fleming reads the tribune weekly and he knew about sandy and accordingly he communicated with the owner when the cat was returned battered and worn but still alive and glad to reach the home fireplace again if sandy hadnt sore eyes and couid read we dre sure he would take out a subscription for the home paper
