INDlA's SACRED MONKEYS.
ITO BE CONTINUED

An Intruder Into Their Jungle Retreat
Got a Good Scare.
In various parts of India monkeys
are regarded as objects of worship.
One of the principal monkey temples
is at Nuddea. Such veneration is
shown there to Huniman, the monkey
god, that visitors may not enter the
court Of the temple without removing
their shoes.
On n occasion an English officer,
in passing up the country hear Mud
dea, CHANGED to stroll into a bamboo
jungle When his boat had put to- for
the night. He had not advanced far
before he heard a terrific uproar all
about him, and he was not a little
alarmed to behold a whole army of the
largest monkeys he had ever seen
making toward him from all quarters.
Some jumped on the ground before
him. others swung by the bamboos
over his head, and many closed up the
path in his rear. Several females had
young ones clinging to them, but this
fact did not seem to render them less
agile than the others.
The Engl.shman knew not what to
do. He yelled at the top Of his voice
each time that he yelled the monkeys
retreated a bit. This encouraged him
to persevere in his shouting, but he
observed that when he himself began
to retreat the monkeys would again
begin to close in upon him. [
Then he stood still and gave one
tremendous shout, whereat the mon
keys went back again. This time the
man had gained fully twenty yards
and was about to repeat the call when
there appeared a new figure upon the
scene IN the person Of an aged, de-
crepit hobbling through the
midst of the animals. /
This aged person shook two or three
Of the monkeys by the paws as she
passed. No sooner had she come with

The old woman. it appeared. was
employed by the Brahmans to supply
the monkeys with their food each day.

pie in the country round. who brought

them continually.-Harper's Weekly.

PROLOGUE.

This remarkable tale, in which
each character is sketched from
life by a master hand, goes be-
meath the surface of modern So
ciety and lays bare the canker at
the root. Like all Nh. Dixon's
work, it is a tale of American
life, essentially true in the picture
1t draws and done with a swing
Ing power which brings its dra-
matte scenes home to US. The
splendid strength of the tale lies
in the conflict between James
Stuart and Nan, in which love
and greed of wealth struggle for
mastery.

Stuart had scarcely passed the door
when he stopped. struck dumb with
amazement- In the center of the great
office was a sight that held him SPELL
bound. An immense vermilion wood
table, six feet wide and fifty feet in
length filled the center. On it the wiz
ard had placed his fortune Of ninety
millions Of dollars. Twenty millions
were in gold. its heavy weight sustain
ed by extra %stanchions. The coin, ap-
parently all new from the national
mint, was carefully arranged around
the edges of the table in a solid bull
wark two feet high.
Behind this cleaning yellow pile of
gold be had placed his stocks and
bonds-each pile showing On its top
layer the rich green. gold or purple
colors Of it's issue. each pile marked
with a tag which showed its total
amount. The effect was stunning.
Bivens approached the table softly
and reverently. az a priest approaches

with the tips of his slender little
fingers.
