next day was Thanksgiving at this
dreadful miShap.
II took Mr.. Trip very long time TO
console Miss Duck, and. in the mean
time Tippy laid out the dead monkey
in long envelope box and mourned
over a pet whom he had already made
plans TO have great fun with. Only
the merry jingle of dimes and quarters
in his pocket and the thought of what
an extraordinarily exceptional dinner
his good old mother was 20 enjoy on
Thanksgiving day kept up his spires
at all. While he was thus mourning
Mr.. krank came in and was about with
busy face, to brush past into his Of

box and, with a funeral face and SOL

monkey under his employers l><se.

boy, do you want me to take it? What
would L do with it? Give it to the jani-
tor. l suppose you gave III too much
to eat"
And that was all the sorrow Mr..
Krank expressed at his irretrievable
loss.
You are an unfeeling monster"
thought Tippy. and covered the monkey
and tucked it in with clean sheet of
white blotting paper. Tippy, for all his
fat. had great deal of sentiment about
him. Miss Duck came out OF the inner
office looking not so very unhappy, you
know-just little flushed.
oh. Tippy." she said. when she saw
the box and the blotting paper, what a
thoughtful, kind-hearted boy you are.
T1ppy, this is just to show that L ap-
preciate you"
Celery and cheese" thought Tippy,
as another quarter ratified in his pocket,
and he smiled again.
Mr.. Trip did not come out immediate
~. he and Mr.. krank seemed to be ar
Suing about something. When he did
come out he looked very much annoyed
and told TiDpy his master wanted TO
see him. Tippy went IN with his usual
amiable smile and cheerful hop. He
found old Krank in his worst mood, the
mood which made poor Tippys world
grow dark when it came on and his
heart to quake and his knees to trem-
BILE krank was, in fact, furious. He
glanced sharply at the boy.
What business had you at my desk,
sir?" &c cried.
Me, sir2''
Yes. you. sir. Look at the mees
these papers are in,''
oh" said Tippy. with relief. :I'guess
it was the monkey. sir
THE monkey The monkey. Look
here, boy, you brought with you a char
acter for honesty. 1 hope it was not
forged"
.Sir,''
There is a valuable paper missing
from my desk 1 placed it there when
was in a little while ago with Mr..
Jones. It's gone, sir. gone, Perhaps
the monkey did upset the papers bit,
but they are all here safe except that
One very important one. Mr. Trip and
have searched every corner of the
office and it is not anywhere. We have
searched every corner. You were in
and out all the time, Mr.. Trip says.
Now, sir. believe you know as well as
do what that paper was. Confess and
III do nothing more save that you must
cave my Office at once. If you won't |
confess, why the police"-
Tippy turned white at the word. and
