he then took the shape Of a very
quiet. ordinary little man. The public
particularly enjoyed seeing the 60
rilla swing from the horizontal bar
by his tail. an appendage which Is
very slightly developed in the species
as rule.
This tall was a masterpiece of In
genuity. 1t was made of flexible steel.
and SO contrived that when 1t took
turn around anything 1t locked into
position until 1t was released by the
gorilla touching spring concealed
somewhere near his waist. The thing
worked splendidly for a long time.
until one day the gorilla put his tail
through the bars of his cage. and a
lady standing by took hold of 1t.
Well, the tail acted automatically.
as usual, and of course when she felt
1t tighten around her wrist the lady
screamed The gorilla pressed the
hidden spring to no purpose. To make
long story short, the men standing
by came to the lady's rescue, took
hold of the tail and pulled 1t off!

very handsome young woman incased
from the waist down in blue and gold
fishskin. The water in which she
smoked, and sang, and sat on a rock
combing her hair was kept tepid so
as not to give her a chill, and this
was what gave her enemies-the beau
tiful Circassian girl and the dwarf
chance to injure her.
They were Jealous because she at
tracted more attention than they did.
SO they Matched a plot. which the
dwarf carried out successfully One
day he pretended to be Ill. and got a
day of, and Just before the mermaid s
performance he hid himself In the
boiler-room. After the man had been
down to see that there WAS not too
big fire. the dwarf set to and stocked
for all he was worth.
The mermaid soon felt that some
thing was wrong. but she stood 1t as
long as she could. At last, however
she had to choose between being
boiled or giving the thing away. and
naturally she preferred the latter al.
tentative; but, as the Snowman put It,
the public said things that were very
dIscouraging' and the show had to
move on
