Mir Jepson here tells the story of a man and monkey who exchange hearts by means of a surgical operation with highly amusing conse- Quences.

Then breath ed long and deeply and came back to the operating tables. My work done; Glaisher and Tobin were putting the final touches to 1t; and had leisure look from the massive face of Belamy Grist, pill lowed in its leonine of snow-whte hair, to the black, chinless browless face of Moko the big chimpanzee whose heart now beat in the poets beIy
 
 twitched. He should have been dead an hour In dismay I looked for Bellamy Grist's heart the heart which was to be embalmed and deposited in the Pantheon, where should rest the relics of Amer ica's great dead. The very movement to build the Pantheon had been set foot by Bellamy Grist's admirers, who could not endure that his splendid heart should lack proper resting place; and now hot :ical joking, had replaced Mokos heart with it. What fool had been, brilliant surgeon as he was to let him take part in the operation! He had. with Bekkers help taken out Mokos heart for me, and while I absorbed in fixing it in Bellamy Grist, had put the poets heart in it's place.
 "oDriscon. where's Bellamy Grist's heart?" I said sharply. a
 He turned from the window from which he was watching with Bekker the struggle of the reporters and said, Sure it's in Moko. Exchange is no rob bery, Hickman, me boy. And I'm thinking too that it's enjoying the rich blood that it's pump ing"
 But confound you, what about the Pantheon?" I cried
 Tt can go there later when the monkey dies, if it's built so soon. Science needed the converse of the operation, he said seriously enough

 Glaisher came across the room and shook my hand, saying, Hickman R. shafer, congratulate you; in the name of American surgery I congratu- late you It magnificent"
 Congratulate Chicago, rather" I said. My masters, Guthrie and Carrell, invented the opera tion. I'm only their pupil"
 You did it twenty minutes quicker than either Guthrie or Carrell. I've seen them," said o'Dris- coll.
 That's so," said Tobin; and he ;-. BekKer also shook hands with me and congratulated me-

 That's so, little girl. If all goes we'll" said Tt will! I feel 1t will, And oh, how doubly blessed I to be the daughter of genius and tba wife of genius! You will be world-fam

 She blinked; and I thought that, as often. it was at the idomatc phrase; but then she sigh1d and said, If only it had not been monkeys heart in my splendid father"
