She's catching the monkey. I expect she misses mo now sometime*. You didn't see which way It went, did you?” "No,” I said. "Is she addicted to hunting monkeys?" “Only the monkey," he replied. “1 used to do It once.” "Dear me!” I said. "It's fashionable amusement In the neighborhood, then ?’’ "No," he answered mournfully. "I was engageil to that girl once and that beast of a monkey broke the engage ment.” "Were you,” I asked, "cut out by the monkey, then?” "A man," he said, "must be very, very young to make a remark like that.” "Who Is she?” 1 Inquired. "Oh, she's Miss Tremaine," he said. "I’ll tell you the story, if you like. It will be a warning to you never to get engaged to a girl who keeps a mon key.” "At present,” I said, "there Is no girl of the sort In my mind’s eye, but It’s better to be prepared for all emer gencies.” "1 got engaged to Miss Tremaine,” he said, "about three years ago. I met her at the tennis club and dances and around the places generally here, but I trustworthy Italian, rose before ray eyes, and I distinctly declined to re linquish Jacko. "In the course of conversation with the crowd I lost my temper and a con- j siderahle portion of my clothes, and | by the time that a policeman arrived. I 1 suppose my appearance did Justify him In conveying Jacko, the Italian, and me to the police station. There 1 spent a most miserable night. My utmost entreaties failed to Induce the police to send to Mrs. Tremaine to ball me out. 1 think their malevolence was prompt ed by the policeman who had been so rudely Interrupted In his tryst with the cook. "In the morning we appeared before hts worship. The Italian and I were charged with creating a disturbance and assaults and breaches of the peace and that kind of thing, and, as far tut 1 remember, the police threw a charge of drunk against me. Hts worship asked to see the monkey, arid when they brought him in, lo and behold, there were two Jackos. "After some explanation the magis trate dismissed the charge against us with a caution, on the ground of excus able mistake. And, Indeed, It was most excusable. Apparently the Italian had really lost hts monkey, and whether It was his monkey or Jacko that he had been pursuing when I encountered It, I do not know to this day. At all events, the police had captured the other monkey during the night and had shut the two up together. There they sat, two ugly, grinning, Indistin guishable creatures, both guilty, ac cording to the evidence, of aggravated assaults on the police. "When we were released from the dock the magistrate asked us to re move the monkeys. The Italian and 1 stared at each other blankly. He knew way out of the difficulty and suitable to the occasion. The organ grinder went on Ills way contentedly and I hoped the affair was at an end. But I was very much mistaken. No sooner had he gone than Mra. Tremaine and Maud became convinced alike that they had given up the real Jacko. They said they were now certain of It. Poor dear Jacko was sitting on a barrel or gan In a cold street and engaged In the degrading occupation of collecting cop pers, and monkeys were liable to con sumption. and what would dear papa think If he were allveT "I stood this for about ten days and then I went to Ihe Italian again, hav ing obtained his address In esse of fur ther complications. Ills affections were apparently now extended to both mon key*, for he consented to an exchange for further consideration. Surely, I thought to myself, Maud and her mother will No content now. But no, the thing began all over again. The former Jacko was their darling and they'd given him up when they'd got ten him safe, and It was by my advice and It was all my fault. Twice more I exchanged those monkeys, and, at last, even my patience failed. We quar reled and we parted, and I’ve never spoken lo her since, That's why I say never get engaged to a girl who keeps a monkey."

He was a email monkey of ordinary ap pearance and was not at first sight prepossessing, but in the Tremaine household he was a family fetich. It's curious to notice the dominant in fluence In different families. Some times It’s the baby, sometimes the but ler, sometimes a first husband’s mem ory and sometimes the daily paper. But in this case Jacko reigned supreme. Captain Tremaine, who was dead, had bought the beast, and It was concerned in a touching deathbed scene or some thing of the kind. At any rate Mrs. Tremaine regarded it as a sacred relic of the dear deceased, and lavished all her love and affection on it. 1 well remember the first night I saw Jacko, and discovered the habit, that event ually wrecked an engagement. It was a stifling evening and I suggested to Maud the desirability of opening a win dow. ‘Oh, no,’ she said, 'we never can have the windows open in the evening. Jacko would get out.’ My first hint of Jacko’s habits was enlarged by Mrs. Tremaine's frequent and objectionable Intrusions to inquire as to the beast's whereabouts. A man in the first rap ture of an engagement naturally dis likes the inrushes of someone else In pursuit of a monkey. The next morn ing the nuisance Increased. A servant came round—they live a few doors from here—to tell me that Jacko had just escaped and would I help to catch him? I found him about lunch time after a long and exciting chase. As seemed obvious, I caught him by the tall, and the brute bit me and went on for another half hour. Mrs. Tremaine explained reproachfully that Jacko al ways bit people who touched his tall. ‘‘For some months Jacko continued to be a nuisance at home and abroad. When he escaped, which he managed to do about once a week, I was expected to secure him. This generally hap pened In the morning, when the win dows were open and the tradesmen were calling, and at first on these oc casions I did not reach my chambers till the afternoon. Afterward I be ouma nn it a »n Ailffnt itt f'flifhlnir him His plan of campaign was to wait un til his pursuer was quite close and then Jump about twenty yards. 1 bought a large butterfly net with a long handle, and he never got the hang of that. When I had discovered this Invention I was comparatively happy, but I wait ed with dread for the time when Jacko should escape after dark, and I should be compelled to hunt fur the brute through the watches of the night on the peril of losing the regard of the Tremaine family. Jacko'a nomadic habits were, I may explain, attributed to a desire to And his dead muster. At last lire event that 1 dreaded occurred tine cold winter's evening Jacko dbt j appeared while the cook was Inlervlrw ! Ing her favorite policeman at the hack 1 door, and got well a a ay.

Of course, It. was useless to con sult the police about their Identity. As the magistrate pointed out, there is no presumption either In law or In fact as to the ownership of two stray mon keys, I appeabd to him to decide the question himself, and he pointed out that It was the duty of the police to restore properly to Its owners. He said that ho was not Solomon, but only a police magistrate, and that be doubted whether even the house of lords could throw much light on the subject. The matter, he thought, was eminently one to be settled out of court. "At first I tried to solve the difficul ty by buying out the Italian’s claim to either of the monkeys, with the Idea of sorting them afterward. But he also, It appeared, had a romantic at tachment for his carlssltno monkey, and he declined my overtures with fer vent appeals to most of the saints on the register. The whole thing, he seemed to think, was a base attempt on the part of a brutal foreign govern ment to trample on the rights of an Italian citizen, and to consign his mon key to the dungeons of the zoo. Then I offered him his choice of the two, and this might have saved all trouble If Mrs. Tremaine had not arrived at that moment to Inquire for Jacko, and had not learned the whole afTalr from a communicative Inspector. "Neither Jacko nor the alleged Jacko showed the faintest signs of recogni tion. Indeed, they almost at once de voted themselves to a sanguinary light In which Mrs. Tremaine intervened with considerable Injury to herself. Then she turned to me and I could see from her manner that she considered me responsible' for the whole difficulty. -Bt. IN THE UUTTEKFLY NET. For a quarter of an bour I had a really lively time.

"Eventually, I made the beat term* that I could. The Italian agreed, for a consideration, to allow u* to keep both monkeya fur a week, during which we might discover their Identity. Mr*.

Possibly you walk three miles within the hour, but that does not by any meuns represent the distance you travel, The earth turns on Its axis every twenty-four hours. For the sake of round figures we will call the earth's circumference 24,000 mllea, and so you must have traveled during the hour's stroll 1.000 miles In the axial turn of the earth. Tbit this is not all. The earth makes a Journey around the sun every year, and a long but rapid trip It Is. The distance of our planet from the sun we will put at 92, 000,000 miles. This Is the radius of the earth's orbit half the diameter of the circle, as we call It. The whole diam eter Is therefore 184,000,000 miles, and the circumference being the diameter multiplied by 3.1416,1s about 678,000,000. This amazing distance the earth travels In its yearly journey, and dividing It by 366 we find the dally speed about 1,686,000. Then, to get the distance yoo rode around the sun during your hour's walk, divide again by 24. and the result In about 66,000 miles. Dut this Is not the end of your hour’s trip. The sun, with Its entire brood of planets, Is mov ing In space at the rate of 160,000,000 miles In a year. This Is at the rate of a little more than 438,000 miles a (lay, or 18,250 miles un hour. So, adding your three miles of leg travel to the hour’s axial movement of the earth, this to the earth’s orbital Journey, and that, again, to the earth's excursion with the sun, and you find you have traveled, in the hour, 86,253 miles.
