the Office boys ear in cordial way,
and, when Tippy produced some pea
nuts, he and the monkey were at once
fast friends. At the sight of Tippy and
the monkey amiably fraternizing the
others took heart of grace. for it was
really pleasing sight to see the
strange arrival pop the kernel into it's
mouth, and generously press the shell
upon his protector. Mr.. Trip and Miss
Duck stepped forward, but Mr.. Trip
did not like to trust Miss Duck too
near without holding her hand so tight
that he could readily draw her out of
danger. Mr.. Krank came up, quite in

desk, and then while I'm out it won't

Tippy tied the monkey as hidden.
You'd better get it a frankfurter or
ham sandwich to keep it quiet" said
Mr.. Krank lr

elevator man if he'd dine with Tippy's
