Franklin poked his nose out from behind a can of refuse, exhibiting his magnificently scarred coat of fur and his blood clotted ears, fresh from the back alley arenas of Boston's catdom. Grabbing the beast by the nape, our host handed him to us to hold--unpleasant, because Frankie's claws were sharp as steel and busy every second. The professor meanwhile doused a cotton wad in ether on which to deposit the beast, and on top of both was placed a large bell jar, like...

The Grey Owls put a tank in the room, which pleased the beavers, although the water soaked the floor and moisture spoiled the food. Meanwhile, since the beaver is a loquacious beast, with a range of sounds almost as great as that of humans, a constant chattering, wailing and outright crying accompanied their gnawing and splashing, until the imperturbable red man was almost a nervous wreck. Once he even pulled Rawhide roughly by the tail, but he was shamed immediately after when...
