curiosity which dominates wild crea-

several Of the birds had como 20 far as
even to accept morsels OF food from
the hands Of the Ciaytons.
One afternoon. while clayton was
working upon an addition to their cabin.
for no contemplated building several
more rooms. q number OF their grotesQue
little friends came shrieklng and scoad-
ing through the trees from the direction
Of the ridge.
Ever as they ned. they cast fearful
elances back OF them. and. finally. they
stopped near Clayton, jabberins sx-
c.tedly 10 him a. though to warn him OF
approaching danger.
At last he saw Il, the thing the little
monkeys % feared--the man-bruts OF

from escape. ne felt a vague little shiver

He knew that armed only with an axe

were small indeed. and Aiice-oh. heaven
-he thought. what would become OF
Alice?
There was yet q slight chance Of
reaching the cabin. and he turned and
ran toward It. shouting an alarm to his
wife to run In and close the great door
In case the ape cut or his retreat.
Lady Greystoke had been sitting lit

heard his cry she looked up to see tho
ape springlng with almost incredible

placed other smaller branches quite
close toge Their. This platform he paved
with the huge fronds Of elephants ear.
which grew In profusion about them.
and over the fronds he laid q great
sail folded into several thicknesses.
Seven feet higher he constructed 4
similar. though lighter platform, to
serve as roof and from the sides of
this he suspended the balance OF the
sail-cloth for walls.
When completed. he had rather
snug little nest. to which he carried
their blankets and some OF the lighter
! luggage.
II was now late in the afternoon. and
the balance of the daylight hours were
devoted to the building Of a rude lad.
der by means Of which Lady Alice could
mount to her new home.
All during the day the forest about
had been filled with excited birds OF
brilliant plumage. and dancing. chat
tcring monkeys. who watched these new
arrivals and their wonderful nest
building operations with every mark Of
keenest interest and fascination.
Notwithstanding that both Clayton
saw nothing OF larger animals. though
on two occasions they had seen their
little simian neighbors come screaming
and chattering from the nearby ridge.
casting affrishted glances back over
their little shoulders. and evncing a.
plainly as though by speech that they
were fleeing some terrible thing which
lay concealed there.
Just before dusk Clayton finished his
ladder. and, filling q great basin with
water from the nearby stream. the two
mounted to the comparative safety OF
their aerial chamber.

Scarcely had they closed their eyes
than the terrifying cry OF a tiger rang
out from the jungle behind them.
Closer and closer 1t came until they
could hear the great beast directly be-
meath them. For an hour or more they
heard II smiling and clawing at tho
trees which supported their platform,
but at last It roamed away across the
beach, where Clayton could see II clear

RUMOltS AFLOAT THAT JIM SYKES
Is GOING TO FORSAKE
THE MACHINE

Rumors were current yesterday to
the effect that Tulsa Is about to lose
one OF her best known citizens and
foremost democratic politicians. James
H. Sykes, lately defeated candidate for
congress from the Third district. Ru-
NOR has It that Mr.. Sykes has been
offered the position OF general coun-
sci for n large eastern oil company.
with offices in Buffalo. Pittsburgh
and Washington. The position pays,
1t is said $4,000 year.
Mr. Sykes strong political influence
with the democratic powers at the ma
tional capitol. secured through his
stumping campaign in Pennsylvania
prior to the recent election. and his
wide knowledge of Oklahoma affairs
led to his being made the offer.
Mr.. Sykes. when asked concerning
the rumor, refused to deny or con m
the report.
IT have nothing to say" was his
only comment.
Local democrats are said to be urg-
ing Mr. Sykes not to accept such an
offer because It would take him from
Tulsa and thereby the local demo-
cratic machine would lose its main
cog.
