Jnke Cook. Mr.. Crowley's keeper, has o
clock which he values highly, not, however,
on account OF Its intrinsic worth.
The clock-a small, round affair-formerly
reposed on a shelf, nailed to Mr.. Crowley'a
cage. A few weeks ago, during one of his
fits OF rage the chimpanzee threw himself
against the side of the cage with such force
that the clock fell to the floor. It was still
going wllei! Jake picked it up, although a
great dent in its side marred its symmetry.
About a week ago the clock suddenly
stopped. Jake dissected it, put it together
again, and it went along all right for q day,
and then stopped once more.
This time Jake, in disgust, threw the clock
on the floor and kicked it into a corner.
About an hour afterwards while sweeping,
he heard ii ticking and picked up the badly
used t%imepiece to find il once more register
ing the hours with its usual vigor.
The clock has been replaced on the shelf.
