To secure this protec- tion the planters shield them by ba- mana trees and plaintain trees, the broad leaves of which give them the needed shade. And even when they are fully grown they need protection, which is given by trees known as i'm mortels," or, as the planters call them, the mother of the cocoa" Thus the whole cocoa plantation has sort of canopy.

The Oranc Guiana.

It is a most interesting sight to
watch an orang outang make its way
through the jungle. 1t walks slowly
along the larger branches in a semi
erect attitude, this being apparently
caused by the length of its arms and
the shortness of its legs. 1t invariably
selects those branches which intermin-
gle with those of a neighboring tree,
on approaching which it stretches out
its long arms and, grasping the boughs
opposite, seems first to shake them as
if to test their strength and then de-
liberately swings itself across to the
next branch. which it walks along as
before. 1t does not jump or spring, as
monkeys usually do, and never ap-
pears to hurry itself unless some real
danger is present. Yet in spite of its
apparently slow movements it gets
along far quicker than a person run
ming through the forest beneath.

1t Reacted en- the Players the Captain
Mas Training.
In an article on baseball training
camps Hugh S. Fullerton, In the
American Magazine. recounts the fol-
lowing joke played on cap" Arson,
the leader of the famous old White
Stockings. during a training season
some years ago:
"Anson vas one of the most tireless
runners In the world, and training
under him was a nightmare to his
players. Anse would drive his men
for three hours in practice, then lead
them in long runs, placing himself at
the head of the procession and setting
a steady. jogging pace. If he felt well
the morning training was a Marathon
route. / have een players resort to
all kinds of tricks to avoid those kill
ing runs.
Zone afternoon In New Orleans
years ago Arson ordered ten laps
around the field after practice. which
on the old grounds was nearly ten
miles. The afternoon was hot. one
of those whiting southern spring days
that sap the life out of men fresh from
the rigors of a northern winter. The
players fell Into line, grumbllng and
scowling. Back of left field a high
board fence separated the ball grounds
from one of the old cemeteries, and
near the foul line a board was off the
fence. The first time the painting ath-
letes passed the hole In the fence
Dahlen gave a quick glance to see If
Arson was looking and dived head
first through the gap into the ceme-
terry. The others continued on around
the lot, but on the second round LANCE,
Ryan, Kittridge and Decker dived after
Dahlen and Joined him in the ceme-
terry. The third trip saw the line dwin-
die to four followers, with Arson still
leading. The fourth found only Arson
and poor Bill Schriver, who had the
bad luck to be directly behind his cap
tain, plodding on, and on the next trip
Schriver made the leap for life.
Enthusiastically alone, Arson toiled on,
while the onlookers writhed with de-
light. Perhaps their behavior aroused
suspicion or the absence of following
footsteps attracted Caps attention.
He stopped. looked at the vacant field;
a grim grin overspread his red face,
and he resumed the jogging. Straight
TO that fence he plodded. and, sticking
his head through the hole, he beheld
his team leaning against the above
ground tombs, smoking and laughing.
Just for that he marshaled them into
line again and. sitting in the stand,
watched them grimly until every man
had completed ten rounds"

danger"
1t came to pass that Frank broke bis
leg while fishing a trout stream that
ran among gigantic powders. The in
jury was SC. serious that at the first
s. -ht OF it old DR.. Stevens, the family
physician, was in W. minds about an
a~mputation. To make matters worse,
Franks father had not yet returned
from a trip abroad, and his mother
had been i'll and was still a prisoner
within the four of a bed.
Frank was carried to his room in
the turret chamber. and there he re-
manned some days, the prey of bodily
pain and increasing mental distress.
Early of an afternoon DR.. Stevens
came to Mrs. Wright's room. She
knew that he had just seen her son,
and her eyes spoke unutterable ques-
tons. They were steel gray eyes, sof-
tened with a touch of violet.
Frank is doing very WE'LL" said the
doctor and sat down beside the bed.
There was a brief silence. Mrs.
Wright turned her head upon the pill
low and glanced at Cousin Rufus. who

Rufus replied hastily:

checked him, and he stopped so abrupt

was a question of picking a name for
the boy that we ought not to call him
Frank" she persisted. Rufus was
my choice"
well there isn't much luck in that
either" rejoined her husband.
The physicians face was d%arkening
with a frown despite his best efforts
to control it. Mrs. Wright perceived
his trouble and smiled sadly.
81 would like to speak with the doc
tor alone" said she.
"Why, certainly; of course" re-
sponded the Burrells, and they depart
ed, with a conscious dignity superior
to offense.
In the hall without Rufus whispered
to his wife: she's going to ask him
about Frank. and think it's just as
well that | should hear what he says.
He amt over and above confidential

He tiptoed back and stood just out
side the door. which was a little open.
"Will my son be crippled?' said
Mrs. Wright. Tell me exactly what
you think"
"Oh, no; not crippled" answered the
doctor. mo. indeed"
