Mrs. Hearno was indeed a tragic fig
IRE as she stood in the duslsy room
where the deputy sheriff, who made
the arrest, had seen her locked safely u
half hour before. She stood near the
barred window, tall, gaunt figure
with the last CLEAN of the lingering
light OF the yellow sunset gliding her
tawny face.

AN AFRICAN LEGEND.
The story of How the Monkey Came to
lie Created.

Negro legends and interpretations Of
Scripture arc often extremely ingenious
and even poctical, and it frequently hap
pens that when tho makers of traditions
and folklore happen to have African blood
in their veins they rely entirely upon their
inspirations and ilnaginntions. 1t is in
this wise that their account Of the creation
Of the monkey was constructed. This
story runs as follows:
After God had made man, the devil re-
gardcd this now creation with q great deal
of interest and admiration and was flied
with an ambition to do something Of that
kind himself. lie therefore studied tho
form and features of the human being
which had been recently placed upon the
earth, and set to worl, with great earnest
ness to make "a living creature which
should, as nearly as possible, resemble a
man, but he did not try to make his work
quite rs largo as his model, wisely think
ing he would better begin with something
on smaller scale. The result of his la
bors was tho monkey.
This animal was good donl like "a man,
but he failed in some important particu-
lars to resemble the original. One of these
was his inability TO speak, and the devil
tried to remedy this fault, but found it
impossible. He also discovered that his
little man did not possess the intelligence
of the larger being he had tried to initiate,
and disRusted with the impossibility Of
| making his monkey speak or Of Impress
ing upon his mind that he should act as a
| reasonable being, he gave up the attempt
in despair, ana in orIcr to compensate the
creature he had made for the great fail
urcs in his construction he gave him a
tui1 nt 10 l. l..
nor would it bostow upon him the intel
ligcnco he should have, but it would be
u very great help to him in getting through
life, and this the little burlesquc of man
| rs doubtless found to be true. Youth 5

DAUDET AS A YOUTH.
He Played tho Heroic and Was Told to
Get His Hair Cut.

When he was boy, Alphonsc Daudct's
father failed, and for some time the two
lived together in poverty in Lyons An
elder brother Ernest, however, got posi-
ton in n glass store in Paris, and finally,
when II years old Alphonsc went TO live
with him and to try his fortunes in tho
great city. Ernest's wages amounted TO
only $50 month and Alphonsc brought
nothing with him from Lyons except about
40 cents and voracious appetite. He Is
even said to have worn rubber boots on
that memorable journey. The two broth
ers took lodgings in an attic and for sew
cral years led poverty stricken life
Nothing, however, discouraged the two
lads. Both had confidence that there was
future in literature for Alphonse, who
in these trying years wrote volume of
poems which he had succeeded In getting
printed. \ copy of the volume fell under
the eye Of Empress Eugene, who persuade
ed her brother-in-law, the Duke of Morny,
to hunt the young man up and help him.
The result of the empress interest in tho
young poet was that the duke invited him
to call upon them. When Daudet entered,
| the duke asked
Can you writer"

The boy was nearly overcome. He had
never IMAGINED that any ono was paid that
much Il yCar-about $1,000 But he sud-
| denly remembered that he differed in poll
tics from the duke and drawing himself
up announced the fact.
Instead OF being deeply moved by his
heroic course, the duke said; "Oh, go and
