son on an errand. Bert had had with
him a penknife belonging to an elder

John, and gone of without thinking

They soon reached the schoolhouse.
It was small and low, the board walls
darkened by time and smoke. The win

There was q merry half hour OF sport

John thought Of the knife, and slipped
his hand in the desk. He did not find
it. He bent his head and looked, but
saw nothing Of the missing article. One

MONKEY subdue. |. Z Dox. =.

A good story is told of q dog that one
day discovered an organ grinders mon
key seated upon q bank, and at once
made a rush for it. The monkey, which
was attired IN jacket and hat, awaited
the onset SO undisturbed that the dog
halted within 9, few feet to reconnoiter.
After awhile the dog seemed to recover
from its surprise and was about to
make q spring when the monkey raised
his hand and saluted BY taking on his
hat. The effect was magical. The dogs
head and tail dropped, and he sneaked

up on the rug in the captains cabin and
went to sleep.
He had record of having licked every
other cat on cob deck, and since there
were no more cats to fight Tom con-
cluded to fght-and eat-for his coun-
try.
Tom was regularly adopted by the
ships company of the Terror. Full en-
istment papers were made out CIV
ing him the rating of rat killer and
mascot. The papers were properly
filed and Toms sea life began.
He saw service in the blockade of
Havana and participated in his humble
capacity in several small naval engage
ments, and when the Terror-after
whom he was named-returned to
northern waters Tom, with the rest of
the crew, joined the receiving ship
Franklin.
From the Franklin he was regularly
transferred to the gunboat Monon-
gahela. Life on board the Monongahela
was made as pleasant as possible for
Tom, but alas! the fighter was ungrate-
full. He scratched two of the officers,
bit one Of the men and exhibited an ap-
petite that bordered On gluttony-a sin
not to be tolerated in the navy or in
any other walk of life.
Still Tom was loved on board, and
though his shortcomings were duly en-
tered upon his ships papers he was
treated well.
On. June 3 the Monongahela and the
Annapolis lay side by side at Norfolk.
Tom probably heard from the sailors
all about the pleasure cruise the An
napolis was to take with the naval
cadets on board-of the social enter
tainments that were to add zest to the
voyage-of the trip to West Point and
Newport, and Tom made up his mind
to desert the Monongahela and join the
Annapolis.
just before the Annapolis weighed
anchor message was received by Com
mander Ingersol from the Monongahela
asking whether Tom Terror. tawny
cat. was on board.
The commander ordered a search.
The messenger from the Monongahela
looked dubious. but saluted and left.
The Annapolis weighed anchor and
started out to sea. The bugle call for
supper was sounded, and up from the
depths of the fo'castle walked Tom.
He climbed upon 4-inch gun, looked
around to see if the Monongahela was
still in sight, and finding himself safe
stalked majestically to the bridge and,
gazing calmly into Commander Inger-
soils eyes, said:
"Pur-r-r-r."
The gallant commander was almost
overcome with astonishment. He knew
that this was Tom Terror, deserter,
but he couldn't take him back to land,
so he did the next best thing-he adopt
ed him as member Of the ships COM
pany. z" ~
Tom quickly made friends with the
| officers, the cadets and the crew. He
is no respecter of rank, and insists on
making his own rules. He will sit and
purr by: the hour at Lieutenant Com
mander Bartlett's side, scratch fun-lov-
ing, teasing cadets and then steal a
tempting morsel from the crews mess.
| He is great ratter, and SO far has
proved an efficient mascot. :.
b: on the books of the Monongahela
Tom is put down as a deserter, and
may some day have to face q court
martial, but at present he is q happy,
Ecareless cat. He has but one sorrow.
There are no other cats on the An
napolis with whom he can fight.-N. Y.
