The Missing Link.

Prof Van Sickle, who for some
months has been making geological
charts Of the northern part of Java,
cables the Academy of Sciences at Am
sterdam that he feels certain that he
has discovered the long-looked-for
missing link. He does not claim the
honor OF the discovery himself, but
says that some weeks ago he was in
formed by Dutch merchant, Van
Beuren, that he had discovered new
species Of monkeys in a dense forest in
which he had lost his way.
The professor started out to look
into the discovery OF the merchant,
and while watching for the animals to
appear he heard a peculiar half human
voice. Looking up, he saw an enor-
nous nest and two ape-like animals
looking down upon him.
The natives of that part Of the
island have long known the presence
Of these apes, which they call Ash
Penrizi." Unlike any other apes, they
bathe frequently and the females wear
strange necklaces of twigs and red
berries and nurse their young, singing
half-articulated words. They have, in
fact, a language. but it consists of very
few words.

The figure turned, and he had a

mocking farewell. Then the boy
sprang into the saddle of horse
that one of the warriors was holding.
and the whole band moved forward
at swinging pace.
"If you had waited little, you
would be less light on your feet" the
Jotun growled as he strobe on, strik-

ground.

A WOMAN OF RESOURCE.
Actress Had Her Way in Spite Of
MANAGERIAL Rules.

A story is going the rounds about
how a prominent actress satisfied her
post-season thirst while playing in
special production after her winters
engagement was over. The young
artist is very well known to theater-
goers, and for this reason her name
will be omitted.
A special production in which she
appeared made it necessary for her
to wear high topped cavalry boots
as part of her costume. During the
week which the show ran the weather
happened to be quite warm. The
management OF the theater supplied
the actors with ice water, but prohib-
tied any of the members Of the cast
from taking stronger refreshments
into the place.
This actress is quite resourceful.
and soon hit upon scheme that was
most ingenious. She was stopping
at a hotel within a square of the the
ater. and this enabled her to work
out her plan successfully.
One night she went to the theater
as usual, but after making up gave
great imitation of being Mortified
when she discovered that the caval-
ry boots had been left at the hotel.
Summoning one Of the attaches Of
the theater. she sent him after the
boots. with instructions to bring them
to her just as he found them. Her
instructions were carried out. and
after bestowlng greatful smile on
the messenger he was allowed to de.
part, after depositing the boots In her
dressing rooms.
As soon as the door was closed be-
hind him the actress extracted from
the depths Of either boot, where she
had placed them before leaving. the
