London and Paris are ringing lust
now with the exploits of two remark
able monkeys. So intelligent were
these Simians and so humar-like were
their deeds that it is a pity Mr.. Oar
win were not alive to discover in them
two excellent exemplifications of his
theory. The first monkey came in the
guise of a criminal, a professional
thief, and terrified an elderly Partisan
janitresS out of her seven senses.
The Rue Pigalle was electrified the
other morning by the appearance of
this Nine. Carquet, with her garments
awry and her face full of terror, rush
ing like mad woman out of the court
yard of her house, with the yell of
"Au voleursn which is the French
equivalent for ''Thievesi Thievesw
Several passers-by tried to discover
the extent of the depredations, but
the excited janitress, despite her girth,
fled like a deer until she came to the
office of the nearest commissaire of
police. There, breathless, she told
how she had Just discovered in her
room an elderly person, who, with his
back toward her, was rifiing her
chests of drawers at a tremendous
rate.
Two gendarmes went around to the
house on double trot, but no elderly
burglar could be found. In a room
in the attic, however, the mystery was
unveiled. A large white-bearded ape
sat calmly there engaged in investi-
eating the warp and woof of Nine
Carquet's best dresses. Politely the
policemen tried to get him to leave the
attic, but the monkey resisted.
The fact that he was a common ami
NAL did not save him, however, from
ordinary police methods. Jocko, for
that was his name, probably arrived
nearer the dignity of humanity than
any other monkey has done in the his
tory Of the world. Four other men
were called, and he was conveyed to
the lookup surrounded by large and
enthusiastic crowd, as if he had been
a human criminal of the deepest dye.
st. Stephens IS a quiet and dignified
church in Hampstead, which district
of London is chiefly remarkable for be-
ing the home of the man who wrote
''Trilby.'' Mr.. Du Maurier, though,
had nothing whatever to do with
Hampstead's latest episode. 1t was a
large dark-brown monkey who had
come, no one knows from where, to eX-
tend his experiences and evidently to
get some accurate knowledge concern
ing the established church of England.
For this intelligent Simian, with a
black kid glove in one hand and book
in the other, entered the church while
it was being swept and inspected the
pulpit in the first place and later on
the organ, actually attempting to play
upon that instrument, but finally de-
sisting after a futile experiment with
the blower. He wandered in and out
Of the churchyard, and his presence
there assembled a crowd of onlookers.
who were very desirous of accompany
ing him in his expedition, but could
not climb sufficiently well.
He mounted up to the belfry with
the evident intention of sounding the
chimes, but this he did not accomplish,
owing probably to the fact that DARK
ness was setting in. Ifo Hnally climbed
to the ledge Of one of the upper win
dows of the tower and sat there in
solitary state, an object of the great

Heath.
