CAT RETURNS TO THE BAG
Dr. and Mrs. O.E. Hagen took their cat when they started from Butterfield to their lake cottage near Alexandria last year. At Brewster puss was tired of auto travel and departed unceremoniously for an airing. Still missing after a four-hour search, the pet was reluctantly abandoned as the Hagens went on to their destination. This year when they arrived at the same cottage for their annual outing, the cat was contentedly waiting for them.
