When Mac was baby his parents

the tree that serves them as home.
AT least. that is what naturalists say
who have visited the regions where
these dear little monkeys live. Their
small legs and tiny bodies won't allow
them to take the long trips made by
some of their big brothers.
If you will look at map OF Brazil
you will see that the Madeira is one
Of the largest tributaries Of the
Amazon, flowing into the latter from
the south. Now. for more than four
years. Americans have been busy
building a railroad for the Brazilian
government from Porto Velho south
west to Bolivia, and along the line
Of the Madeira. One day party of
Indians came to the town, having
with them q lot of birds and animals

road men fell In love with the mar

Just now he has waist-line that Is

put in the scales and found that he
weighed not less than seven ounces!
And nearly all his other measurements
have increased by half an inch or SO.
AT first his owners didn't quite
know what to provide for him in the
way of living quarters. Finally a
roomy parrot cage was purchased, in
the bottom of which was placed a
box lined with cotton batting and has :
Ing pair of tiny blankets--the kin
that you see on dolls beds. When
put in the cage he saw the meaning
Of the box right away. Into 1t he
tumbled, singled down among the
batting and then, thrusting out one OF
his hands, grabbed the blankets and
drew them carefully over him until
he was hidden from sight. There
upon the cage was put in the bath

squeezed himself pretty fiat when so
doing. And how he did protest and
chatter when he was caught and put
back in the cage!
That evening several hours were
spent in weaving fine wire between
the wires OF Macs home. When the
job was finished. 1t was felt that
there wasn't the slightest chance OF
the little fellow breaking out again.
But when the morning came, to the
Amusement of everybody, Mac was
once more sitting on the top of the
cage, singing song OF freedom! He
had found the one comparatively open
spot in the imprisoning mesh, and
through 1t had wormed his way out.
More wire was called into use, and
Mac was given a long lecture on the

II must teach the kittens some
tricks. said Alice one day. They
are getting so big and plump Don't
you think they are old enough to
learn to do things, mammal"
Well, little daughter. suppose you
try teaching Them" said mamma
So Alice went to the door and call
ed; Kittens, Kittens kittens! Come,
Tip! Come, Trot. Come. kittens"
Now their real names were Tipklns
md Trotkins; but Alice always called
hem Tip and Trot. for short.
When the kittens heard their lit
lie mistress call. they came running
as fast as their fat little bodies ana
short legs would let them come, for
Kittens, kittens, kittens!" almost
always meant: Here's some nice
warm milk to drink"
Alice gathered the funny little
things up in her arms. They looked
just exactly alike, for Tipkins had
black spot on the end of his tail. and
Trotkins had black spot ON the end
black, and Trotk.ns' nose was black,
too. Alice often wondered how their
mother, Topsy, ever told them apart.
Now" said the little girl, you
have grown to be such big pussies
that II Is time you learned to work.
You must earn your dinner. What
do you say to that?'
Meow. meow!' said Tipkins.
Meow meow!" said Trotkins. Meow,
meow. meowi" said Tipk.ns and
Trotkins together. which seemed to
mean: That We will, little mistress;
only show us how"
Alice took tiny piece of meat in
her fingers, and let one of the kit
tens smell of 1t: then she said, very
slowly: Now, pussy. roll over" The
kitten liked the smell of the meat
very much. SO he said: Meow,
meow" But he did not know In the
least what roll over" meant, so he did
nothing, Roll over, kitty" said his
little mistress again; but he only said.
Meow. meow, meow!" once more.
Then Alice made the pussy lie down.
and she gently rolled him over with
her hand, saying very slowly as she
did so: Roll over" After this she
gave him a bit OF meat.
Then 1t was the other kittens turn.
He had no more idea than his brother
what roll over" meant; but after
Alice said the words two or three

This was only the first Of many

patiently with the kittens every day

that time both Tipkins and Trotkins
knew Just what she meant. and would

| thought this was very funny, and she
said that Trot sang while Tip did the
playing.
Both kitties learned to jump over
a stick when their mistress held one
| out in her hand. about a foot from the
| floor; and Alice taught Tipk.ns to
jump through a small wooden hoop,
but she never could persuade Trotkins
to try even once to jump through the
the hoop.
| As Tipkins and Trotkins grew older,
their mother, Topsy. taught them TO
| hunt for mice in the big, dark barn,
and to catch moles and grasshoppers
in the field. They had less and less
| time as the days went by to play with
| their little mistress; and Alice found
them so sleepy when they did have
! time that at last she gave up trying
| to teach them any new antics.
| AS the months passsd by they grew
sleek ard fat. They were kittens no
! longer. but had grown as large and
! could hunt as well as Mother Topsy;
