and Jocko has ceased to struggle.
AS tenderly as If he had been a baby
they picked him up. His little heart
still beat family, and through his
dim little eyes hr looked up at them.
They were the men who had watched
him from babyhood, and he knew
their grief.
The band stopped the "circus music"
abruptly as one of the men bore Jocko
hack TO the animal tent. 1t was the
man who, but few minutes before,
had placed Jocko on his favorite
mount. 1t was he who had fastened
the strap but for which the little fel-
low might have jumped to safety III
stead of to death.
Caring little for those who saw, the
big, burly fellow carried Jocko in one
arm and hid his face in the other as
lie made his way to the monkey cage.
He had taken the little fellow ont
only n short while before, had romped
with him all the way to the big tent
AMI had given him a parting tap as
the ponies darted off. And he was
| bringing him back dying.
Tenderly he laid him inside while
the other monkeys, dazed to see the
little fellow come home in any other
way than romp, gathered about
chattering their misunderstanding.
They soon saw that Jocko's life was
| fast going away. The poor little
MANNED body lay pathetically still,
and but for the old light in the eyes
they could not have recognized their
bright, loving little charge.
He looked up at them piteously.
They had been so proud of him, and
he had loved them all. His little eyes
blinked a pathetic farewell to his
faithful guardians.
Outside in the big tent the band
banged away as a daring equestrienne
dashed around the main ring. But
there was no joy in the monkey cage
for Jocko had ridden his last race.
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-01-19

Outside a gentle voice broke upon
the prayer, and like the shepherds of
old, the two darkeys fell forward upon
their faces. and waited with breath
suspended for another sound of the
angelic response.
"Dory to Dord in de highest, an on
erf peace dood will to men!" Then,
10! the door opened and in came a
tiny child. She was all in white, and
she had great blue eyes and hair like
a golden halo around her lovely face.
In one hand she carried a bunch OF
holly, and the other was ladened with
sweetmeats, as she said:
Il am de little angel, an have tum
to 'ou tonight to tell 'ou all bout
Jesus, an how He tum dat frs Chris
mas;-an' see!-I've bought 'ou lots
Of doodies jes like de little durl in de
story mamma wead me fore she put
me to bed"
Two black faces rose slowly from
the floor and gazed awe-stricken upon
the angelic countenance beaming upon
them. They had prayed for a Christ
mas angel to come down into their
little cabin, but even their strong faith
was not prepared for the sudden reve-
lation of one in flesh and blood. They
gazed upon the heavenly apparition,
neither one daring to speak, till sud-
denly new light broke over the rapt
face OF NANNY" Raising herself bolt
upright she gazed fearlessly upon the
celestial visitor and said:
Luke dis amt er angul, after all;
it's er little chile frum up de man

JOCKO-A True Story.
BY ISABELLE JOYCE.

The great circus was out on parade
when Jocko came. Everything IVES
confusion about the grounds in prepa-
ration for the afternoon performance,
and no one thought to take peep
into the monkey cage where another
little member had been added to the
family.
Hundreds of street urchins stood
about gazing ct the wonderful side
show pictures, patronizipg the red
lemonade and peanut men and striv-
ing to pass the time before the hour
set for the show to begin. The smell
of sawdust permeated the air and
brought real joy anu fond memories
10 the hearts of the few old timers
their first circus.
Criers were drumming up patron
age. Mounted on high boxes, they
enumerated the endless chain of mar
velous features to be seen in the
three great rings" And then "A
grand concert will follow the main
show and will enlist the services of
some of the greatest artists in the
world. All this can be heard for the
small sum of ten cents-only a dime"
From one corner of the grounds
came the boom of drum and the sub
sequent announcement that "now
could be seen the most wonderful
side show ever exhibited" while a
few feet away the family differences
of punch and Judy" offered amuse-
ment to as many as could crowd
about the little improvised theatre.
The atmosphere was full of circus,

the time that work was in progress,
forty-three Popes lived and died.

1850. The cost was $IO,OOO,0OO.

and to the great events Of the day
had been added the coming of Jocko.
Jocko's mother wore n look of real
monkey pride when her associates
came in from the street show, and 1t
was not long before Jocko became the
pride of the entire monkey family.
His whims were INDUCED with Tor
bearance that proved beyond doubt
the love of his guardians. They never
scolded, never molested. It. was only
when some one of their number, out
of sorts, perhaps. gave him stronger
reprimand than the ordinary monkey
rebuke. They fought his battles
crooned over him in his mishaps,
romped with him and stood up ior
him like one great parent.
Jocko was not like other monkey
children, and soon grew to Enow his
power. He wrapped his little self
