began to wrap her ragged shawl over
the little visitor, maTmuring all tbs
while: "Jes erlike Miss Alice fur all de

A little later the two old darkeys
were on their way TO the mansion,
bearing their precious burden. Along
the white road they trod, their bundled
feet making huge tracks in the newly
fallen snow, till on the hill among some
fine old lombardies, their lost home
blazed out in old-time splendor. Some
servants were searching the grounds
with lanterns, and just then a lady
with golden hair like the child's came
out of the front door, and when she
saw the old darkeys with their bundle
between them ran out crying:
"Oh, my darlingl my poor lost chiIdi
where have you been? We have been
searching everywhere for our baby!"

kissed it again and again, while every

glances.

the glare of the open door; then TAX
ing them by the hands she led them in
the hall, down into the dining-room
blazing with lights and decked in
Christmas greens-the old dining-room
that had been as much lost to them
as though they had at one time really
owned it. Then as the family gath
cred eagerly around, she seated the
strange couple by the bright warm
fire; till suddenly as the light from the

lady with the golden hair ran to them

and to the great events Of the day
Jocko's mother wore look of real
monkey pride when her associates
came in from the street show, and II
was not long before Jocko became the
pride of the entire monkey family.
His whims were INDUCED with for
bearance that proved beyond doubt
the love of his guardians. They never
scolded, never moleSted. 1t was only
when some one of their number, out
of sorts, perhaps, gave him a stronger
reprimand than the ordinary monkey
rebuke. They fought his battles,
crooned over him in his mishaps,
romped with him and stood up Tor
him like one great parent.
Jocko was not like other monkey
children, and soon grew to lnow his
power. He wrapped his little self
around their hearts, and when he
grew big enough to go out In the
street parade the pride of the monkey
family knew no bounds.
First he Travelled in cage with his
older associates. Ills little red coat,
brighter in hue than any of the others
and embroidered most deliberately In
gilt--for Jocko had his friends among
the circus people-made him a con-
spicuous figure in the group.
Jocko was the real monkey In the
crowd. He Initiated the others. made
them play "understander' for him
while he practiced all kinds of aero
batic feats, and he soon became an
expert performer. The joy OF his
guardians, therefore, was complete
when they saw him riding about the
big arena perched on pony's back.
They squeaked in true monkey de-
light at their protege's fine "horse-
manship," for Jocko became the finest
monkey bareback rider in the mena-
gerie. Day after day he rode his pony
to victory. Day after day the monkey
family waited excitedly for his turn"
They were there to squeak approval
when he came bounding into the cage
and to fill his little monkey soul with
Joy and adulation.
One day the circus showed IN n big
city, and great preparations were
made for an unusually fine display.
After a great street parade the COM
pany came marching into the grounds.
The noon meal over Jocko could
hardly wait for his 'turn." and went
romping about the cage teasing first
one and then another. In turn for the
little pinches and pokes he gave the
others. he received only loving tap
on his tiny head and a sly little dig
now and then. 1t was the happiest
family under the big canvas.
The show was on and one after the
other went in to perform. "Ladies
and gentlemen" sang the crier after
