MONKEY SAGACTTY.


It was q wild dreary part of the coun-
try, on the plains of India, while jour
neying, thatonc day a friend and myself
sat down under the shadow of a bunyan
tree. We were enjoying meal of
various edibles, when we were disturbed
by the arrival and the noise of a troop
of large, blacls-faced monkeys. The
branches overheard literally swarmed
with them, They looked ON us as in
terlopeis, no doubt and for some time
their gestures appeared so menacing,
that we were apprehensive they would
dispute the ground with us
We had just risen from our meal,
when, to our surprise, enc of the mon
keys ca young one) fell down from a
high branch at our feet II was quite
dead. The clamor that arose above
us, on the occurrence Of this calamity.
was deaiening. The whole assembly
Of monkeys clustered together for a
conIab. Long and loud were the chat
tering and various the grimaccs of the
tribe, each individual vieing with the
other in the loudncss Of his tongue
Their looks and gestures made il ap.
parent that they suspected us of being
the cause of the sudden death of their
Juvenile comrade. But We were un-
armed, and the good sense of the mon
keys seemed 10 tell them that their
must bo some other culprit.
Having come to this conclusion, one
monkey, apparently the senior and
leader of the whole tribe separated
himself from the rest, ran to tho spot
on the branch, and then glidcd nimbly
down one of the pillars or pendant
roots, and came TO the corpse of the
monkey, took IL up examined il min
utely, particularly the shoulder where
there was a small wound. Instinct
Immediately turned suspicion into GER

ground again, and turning his gaze in

rivet his attention. In an instant he
had mounted the tree, sprung to the
spot, and with one clutch had seized
long whip-snal1e, with which he hast

mest curious scene. Tho whole mon

ON the ground almost us socn as he.
