paused an instant and looked intently
and gravely at Mr.. Deane. The color
rose to his cheek-it was not disagree

that she liked him, on any terms, yet

Mr.. Deaue smiled, although he was
getting angry. Olive went on with the
utmost composure.

Miss Mellen deposited the key in the
pocket of her gray dress and sat down
TO her copying. Had she been a man
Mr.. Deane would probably have
knocked her down-as it was, she wore
an invisible armor of power in the very
fact that she was fragile, slight wom-

She dipped her pen in the ink and be-

THE Bitter BITTEN.
How Coco, II MischicvOus south
American Monkey, Lost His
Long, Graceful Tail.

In South America there once lived
young monkey named Coco, who
spent his time in playing pranks, and
even perpetrating cruelties upon his
friends and neighbors in the forest
All the animals feared him so much
that they organized picket service.
The birds took turns in perching
upon the high branches of the trees,
and whenever the young monkey made
his appearance shrill cries of Look
QUIT here comes Coco" resounded on
all sides. So he soon found himself
deprived of his accustomed pleasure
the plaguing and torturing of animals
smaller and weaker than himself.
One afternoon, however, he thought
he saw one of the sentinels asleep on
the branch of tree that overhung
stream. He steaithily approached,
glancing from right to left, but there
was not a cry of alarm.
AT last | shall avenge myself"
thought Coco.
He climbed noiselessly to the top of
the tree, and, hanging by the end OF
his tail, let himself carefully down to
the branch on which the bird was
perched. 1t was Il huge gray bird,
with an enormous beak. Coco bal
anced himself and with one paw
seized the birds tail and pulled out
all the feathers.
The bird screamed and the monkey
laughed. but the laugh was suddenly
cut short. The bird, at first stupetied
by the sudden attack. quickly recov-
cred itself, and, turning, it bit Coco's
tail off. lIowling with pain Coco fell
into the water.
As he limped sorrowfully home he
was greeted on all sides by the hiss
ingof serpents and the hooking laugh
| ter of birds. His mother dressed the
stump Of the tail, and tried to ?on-
sole him for his loss by planning tbs
| fine revenge they would have.
NO no." said Coco; they might
cut off the litt!~ that remains of my
! tail the next time"
4 The lesson had been profitable. The
birds tail grew out again, but Cocp's
remained short; and he was always
sad. for he was very ugly without lis

He took another turn across the
room. Olive looked up with a smile.

Olive drew the key from her pocket,
with softened eyes,

Deane. l dare say you think me un-

you do not know to what eNtremities we

Mr.. Deane sailed forth with a GU
rious complication of thoughts and
emotions struggling through his brain,
in which gray dresses, long-lashed blue
eyes and scarlet ribbons played prom

the clerk, when he walked into the Of

he came to tell the young lady she need

the proprietor and carpenter named
Charles Gudgeon, of No. IT'S Newark ave-

About a week ago Gudgeon went into
Marines saloon and left a chest of tools
for the night. He also went in debt to
the proprietors for IS cents worth of
drinks Marino thought the debt would
be all right, and held the tools as Sc
curity.
Gudgeon went into the saloon this
morning to get some tools which he re-
quired to do some work. The proprietor
refused to allow Gudgeon to take any
of the tools and a fight resulted. Gudg-
con claimed he was struck by a plate
and also with a policemans club, which
Marino kept behind the bar. Gudgeon
then went out and called Policeman May

Marino arrested.
