ped it as though it had burned him,
nor did he again essay to recover 1t.
The noise had been too much for his
brute nerves, but he was now quite
convinced that the terrible stick was
quite harmless by itself if left alone.
The cleverly constructed latch which
Clayton had made for the door had
sprung as Kcrchak passed out, nor
could the apes find means Of ingress
through the heavily barred windows.
Kala had not once come to earth
with her little adopted babe, but now
Kerchak called to her to descend with
the rest, and as there was no note of
anger in his voice she dropped lightly
from branch to branch and joined the
others on their homeward march.
Those Of the apes who attempted to
examine Kala's strange baby were re-
pulsed with barred fangs and menacing
growls, accompanied by words Of
warning from Kala.
When they assured her that they
meant the child no harm she permit
ted them to come close, but would not
allow them to touch her charge.
1t was as though she knew that her
baby was frail and delicate and feared
lest the rough hands Of her fellows
might injure the little thing.

The Tongue.

weak,
Can crush and KILL" declared the
Greek.
THE tongue destroys a greater horde"
The Turk asserts, than does the
sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith,
"a lengthy tongue-an early DEATH
Or sometimes takes this form in
stead:
Don't let your tongue cut off your
head"
"The tongue can speak word whose
speed"
Says the Chinese, "outstrips the
steed."
While the Arab says this impart:
"The tongues great storehouse Is the
heart"
From Hebrew with the maxim sprung:
Though feet may slip, ne'er let the
tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the whole:
who keeps his tongue doth keep his

brute had felt the vertebrae of one
snap between his foaming jaws.
Then he spied Kala, who, returning
from a search for food with her young
babe, was ignorant of the state Of the
mighty males temper until the shrill
warnings of her fellows caused her to
scamper madly for safety.
But Kerchak was close upon her, so
close that he had almost grasped her
ankle had she not made furious leap
far into space from one tree to another
"a perilous chance which apes seldom
take, unless so closely pursued by dan
ger that there is no other alternative.
She made the leap successfully, but
as she grasped the limb Of the further
tree the sudden jar loosened the hold
of the tiny babe where it clung franti-
cally to her neck, and she saw the little
thing hurled, turning and twisting, to
the ground thirty feet below.
With low cry of dismay Kala rush
ed headlong to it's side, thoughtless
now of the danger from Kerchak, but
when she gathered the wee mangled
form to her bosom life had left it.
With low means she sat cuddling the
body to her, nor did Kerchak attempt
to modest her. With the death Of the
babe his fit of demoniacal rage passed
as suddenly as it had seized him.
Kerchak was huge king ape, weigh
ing perhaps $50 pounds. His forehead
was extremely low and receding, his
eyes bloodshot, small and close set to
his coarse, fiat nose; his ears large and
thin, but smaller than most Of his
kind
His awful temper and his mighty
strength made him supreme among the
little tribe into which he had been born
some twenty years before.
Now that he was in his prime. there
was no simian in all the mighty forest
through which he roved that dared
contest his right to rule, nor did the
other and larger animals mOlest him
Old Tantor the elephant. alone Of al
the wild, savage life, feared him not
and him alone did Kerchak fear. When
| Tantor trumpetcd the great ape sour
ried with his fellows high among the
trees of the second terrace.
The tribe of anthropoids, over which
| Kerchak ruled with an iron hand anC
barred fangs. numbered some six ol
eight families, each family consisting
of an adult male with his wives ant
childrcn-some sixty or seventy apes
all told.
| Kala was the youngest wife of ;
male called Tublat, meaning Broker
Nose" and the child she had seen dash
ed to death was her first, for she was
but nine or ten years old.

, little children-picture books, primers
| readers-for they had known that their
little child would be old enough fol
such before they had hoped to return
to England.
At other times Clayton wrote in his
diary, which he had always been ac-
customed to keep in French and In
which he recorded the details Of their
strange life. This book he kept locked
in a little metal box.
A year from the day her little son
was born Lady Alice passed quietly
away in the night. So peaceful was
her end that it was hours before Clay
ton could realize that his wife was
dead.
The last entry in his diary was made
the morning following her death. In
it he relates the sad details in a matter
of fact way that adds to the pathos OF
it, for it breathes an apathy born of
long sorrow and hopelessness. which
even this cruel blow could scarcely
awake to further suffering:
my little son is crying for nourish-
ment. Oh, Alice, Alice, what shall I
do"
And as John Clayton wrote the last
words his hand was ever destined to
pen he dropped his head wearily upon
his outstretched arms, where they rest
ed upon the table he had built for her
who lay still and cold in the bed beside
him.
For a long time no sound broke the
deathlike stiffness of the jungle midday
save the wailing Of the tiny man-child.
=
In the forest of the tableland mile
back from the ocean old Kerchak, the
ape, was on a rampage Of rage among
his people.
The younger and lighter members
Of his tribe scampered to the higher
branches Of the great trees to escape
his wrath, risking their lives upon
branches that scarce supported their
weight rather than face old Kerchak
in one of his fits Of uncontrolled
anger.
The other males scattered in all di-
rections, but not before the infuriated

THE YORK COUNTY FAIR
Some SideIishts on the Annual At
traction at Rock Hill.

Some SideIights on the Annual At
traction at Rock Hill.
In direct contrast with the weather
conditions Of last year, clear skies and
warm sunlight smiled upon the York
county fair at Rock Hill last week.
and as a result thereof, attendance
was doubled and in all probability
trebled. Exhibits were much more
numerous than last year and the
monster exhibition Of agricultural and
other exhibits, the handiwork Of York
county people, proved Of interest to
hundreds Of people from every town
ship in the county.
The York county fair has grown to
such large proportions since its or
ganization several years ago. that the
management found it necessary to
erect additional buildings Of various
descriptions and even though the
value Of the fair property has enhanc-
ed greatly since the fair Of last year,
there was hardly room for all the ex-
hibits. So numerous were the cattle
at the fair that they were greatly
crowded. Chickens and pigeons and
geese and ducks hardly had room to
stretc,. their wings. The many fine
strains of roosters hardly had room
to rise to their full height and give
lusty crows to add to the merry-mak-
;n1 ~ tho occa eion
One exhibition at the fair which was
quite new to the great majority Of
York county spectators was a sham
battle on the race track course be-
tween the Rock Hill and Fort Mill COM
panies Of the First regiment, N. G. s.
c. For something like thirty minutes
the spectators who were lined around
the race track fence were able to get
an idea on a small scale Of what Is
going on in Europe. Both companies
acquitted themselves admirably and
their manoeuvres in advance and re-
treat showed that they had received
good training.
The exhibit Of the Home Demonstra-
ton clubs of the county which occu-
pied a large space in the agricultural
building was one Of the most exten-
sive and artistically arranged of all.
The Girls Canning clubs Of McCon-
nellsville, Bethesda, India Hook, New
port, Laney, Hopewell, Union, Mount
Holly, Bowling Green, Oak Ridge and
| Concord had exhibits Of all kinds OF
canned fruits. vegetables and other
things A number Of the public
| schools of the county also had on dis
play evidences Of the high grade class
room work that is being done.
The beautiful exhibit Of Mesdames
w. H. Hill. F. w. Gryder and j. j. Hoke
who showed the many vegetables that
can be raised on a York county farm,
various fruits, preserves. wines, but
ter, etc, that the energetic housewife
can prepare, also attracted the atten-
ton of hundreds Of ladies and inspired
scores Of housewives with determi-
nation to do greater things to make
their homes more attractive and
profitable.
Included among the visitors at the
fair during the week were many OF
York county's more or less prominent
politicians Several Of them said they
came lust to be a-coming."
