j. M. Barrie's First speech.

One of the speeches that ]. M.
Barrie delivered here was surprise
to his friends in London, who had
never. heard him attempt speech
Of any kind and were not prepared
for the way in which he acquitted
himself at one of the dinners given
in his honor by a literary club. One
Of his friends in London said that
Mr.. Barrie had under no circum-
stances ever ventured to speak more
than a few words, and zangwill told
a story of a dinner in London at
which Barrie was the principal
guest. Somebody had asked the
proper way to pronounce the title of
one of Mr.. Barrie's books, and when
Mr.. Barrie arose to make speech
he confined himself to solitary
sentence commencing, "It is pro-
nounced, " and ending with the cor
rect pronunciation of the name. AS
this had been the most that Mr..
Barrie had ever attempted in his
own country his London friends
were astonished to hear that he had
not only delivered an after dinner
speech here, but had also got through
the effort with great credit.-New

Monkey Mimics,

NAOhAcy TAAulC8s
Chambers journal tells of>a mon
key that was the property of re-
tired admiral and his wife. One day
the lady heard a strange noise in
the dining room and looked in to
see ludicrous sight. Seated in the
armchair, with the admiral's smok-
ing cap on his head and the admi-
rails spectacles on his nose, was the
monkey. In his hand he held the
open newspaper, which he shook
and patted while. he jabbered and
gesticulated with great emphasis at
the cat that lay blinking OH tho
hearth rug.
No one who had ever observed
the testy OLD admiral's tone and
manner when reading to his wife
some passage from the newspaper
which excited his wrath or indigna-
tion could have failed to be struck
by the impersonation. It showed
such careful study and full appre-
citation of detail that the admiral
himself might have learned some
thing from it.
Scarcely less observant must have
been monkey that was one of the
inmates of Suffolk vicarage. He
could not go to church with the rest
on Sunday, but on their return from
service one day they found that in
other respects he had mind to be
their equal. He had removed the
tableoloth which had been laid for
dinner and spread 1t smoothly upon
the floor, arranging upon it all the
table appurtenances with preci-
sion that showed how we'll the les
son had been learned.
Itmust have been difficult for a
late Royal academician to appre-
ciate the subtle fattery that under
lay the action Of his pet monkey
when it took advantage Of his alb
sence to seat itself on stool in his
studio, and, choosing a newly fin
ished canvas, proceeded to lay on
the oolors with a reckless hand and
a dash worthy of latter day i'm
pressionist. The monkey succeeded
In making a sensation and possibly
in experiencing one.

For. as I turned me about to go back
the way I came, there by the copse
side. where the broom grew highest,
stood Jean Genmell, with face sud

melting snow.

She tried to smile, but her eyes had
q fixed and CLASSY look. and she seemed
t. be mastering herself so that she
might speak.
I think that she had a speech pre-
pared in her heart, for several times
she strove to begin, and the words We're
always the same. But at last all that
she could say was no more thar this,
"You love herr"
And with little hand, she pointed
to where the Lady Mary had disap-
peared. I could see it shaking as she
held it out.
