He would attempt to reproduce some
of the little bugs that scramble over
the pages Of his book.
1t was a difficult task, for he held the
pencil as one would grasp the hilt of a
dagger, which does not add greatly to
ease In writing nor to the legibility of
the results.
But he persevered for months, at
such times as he was able to come to
the cabin, until at last by repeated ex
perimenting he found a position in
which to hold the pencil that best per
mitted him to guide and control it, so
that ut last he could roughly reproduce
any Of the little bugs.
Thus he made arbeginning at writing.
Copying the bugs taught him an
other thing, their number; and, though
he could not count us we understand
1t, yet he had an idea of quantity, the
base Of his calculations being the num-
Der of fingers upon one of his hands.
His search through the various books
convinced him that he had discovered
all the different kinds Of bugs most
often repeated in combination, and he
arranged them in proper order with
great ease because of the frequency
with which he had pcrnsed the fasci.
mating alphabet picture book and the
huge illustrated dictionary.
BY the time he was seventeen he had
I0nr nn1 tn ,nn1 {ln crN,D al,s11',
primer and had fully realized the true
and wonderful purpose of the bugs.
No longer did he feel shame for his
hairless body or his human features
for now his reason told him that he
was Of a different race from his wild
and hairy companions. He was q
MAN" they were 'A-P-E-S." and
the little apes which scurricd through
the forest top were MONKEYS"
BE knew. too, that old SAILOR was a
'T-I-G-E-R" and Histah a "S-N-A-K-E'
and Tantor an "E-LE-P-H-A-N-T."
From then on his progress was rapid.
With the help Of the great dictionary
and the active intelligence of Il healthy
mind endowed by Inheritance with
more than ordinary reasoning powers
he shrcwdly guessed at much which
he could o really understand, and
more often than not his guesses were
close to the mark of truth.
There were many breaks in his edu-
cation, caused by the migratory habits
Of his tribe, but wen when removed
from recOurSe to his books his active
brain continued to search out the mys-
teries of his fascinating avocation.
Nor did he neglect the sterner duties
OF life while following the bent Of his
inclination toward the solving Of the
mystery of his library.
He practiced with his rope and play
ed with his sharp knife, which he had
learned to keep keen by whetting upon
fat stones.

SALE RECEIVES PAPERS
IN COURT MARTIAL CASE
Governor to Review Proceedings in
Trinl OF Members OF Biues'
Bnnd.

Papers In tho court-martial proceed
ings against fifteen members OF the
Richmond Light Infantry Blues Band
were received yesterday afternoon by
Adjutant-General w. w. Sale. and will
he sent Immediately to Governor H. c.
stuart for approval. Until he reviews
tho case the findings OF the court will
not be made public.
The trial or tho musicians who were
charged with INSTRUMENTATION. and with
refusing to obey orders was held more
than SIX weeks ago. Tho men were
accused by Major Il. w. Bowlcs, COM
mandant OF the Blues Battalion, with
failing to report at the arinory on the
night of February to play at mill
tary ball given In honor OF the cadet
battalion of the Virginia Military In
stitute.
A wo-day session of the court was
held. and the bandmen put up stiff
defense, having retained II. NJ. Smith.
Jr., to conduct the case. BY agree
ment. one member only was tried. the
others announcing their willingness to
abide by the decision in that case. as
all OF the charges were practically the
same. Several points of Importance
were raised by the defense. one being
that no military order had been issued
by Major Bowles, and even If 1t had
been issued, it was claimed TO be be-
yOnd his authority to order the must
clans to perform at ball, which. the
defense contended. was not u military
duty.
AS IS customary, the findings are sent
to the Governor for his approval. Gov
crnor Stuart is now at his home Elk
Garden. Russell County, and as the
papers are voluninous. ii may be sew
eral weeks before the proceedings are
made public. The Governor is en-
powered by law to set aside the entire
findings.
The papers IN the trial OF Quarter
masterSergcant James Lefcw, of the
Highland Springs Company, have also
been sent TO General Sale. and the
findings will probably DO made public
at the same time as the Blues case.
Sergeant Lcfcw was also accused OF
insubordiNa ton. and counter charges
against officers of the company are
being investigated.
