CHAPTER vi
What the Monkey Did

TNHE black robber lay quietly in his
- roost while Billy and Rollo, the
monkey, climbed the tree. In fact he
was too quiet to suit Billy, who thought
he might be up to some trick. And the
nearer Billy got to the roost, the more
suspicious he became.
Rollo, the monkey, was eager for re-
venge. His nose was still sore from
the nipping given it when he had
climbed the tree before, and now that
the black robber was fast in a trap
Rollo meant to get even with him. So
Billy, when suddenly Billy caught him
by the tail.
Wait" whispered Billy. Maybe
the black robber is trying to fool us. He
may grab your nose again. Rollo
stopped short at that. He didn't want
that precious nose nipped second time
Billy quickly thought of a way to
see if the black robber were planning
a surprise for them. He took off his
zap and put it on the end of a broken
branch. Then he hoisted the cap slowly

Snap! A sharp, powerful beak sud
denly snatched fiercely at the cap. If
iilly's head had been inside, it would
lave gotten a slashing whack and a
nip, and Billy would have been held a
prisoner as the monkey had been. That
vas the trick the black robber had been
planning. 1t showed that he was dan
;erous even through he was in a trap.

watching after her; and as he watched
he murmured to himself softly:
"Bless her sweet heart! / wonder
what she'll say when l tell her that
Mister Roddie is right heah at inquest,
without her KNOWN a word about ?"
When Katherine stepped upon the
threshold of the door that had mechani-
cally opened to admit her to the Nest,
she saw Belknap standing beside the
big oak table, with one hand resting
lightly upon it, regarding her with a
half -quizzical smile which, for once,
was without its wonted wolfshness of
expression.

Of 27tl, Still
Lacking Jobs
Difficulty Encountered in
Inducing Employers to
Hold Vacant Places Open
Special Bureau for 18th
Army Life Causes Demand
for Open Air Work by
Soldiers Already Here

Five thousand New York City men
OF the eth Division viii return from
France to find themselves without Jobs.
Each man of this number will have
tucked away in his pocket an applica-
tion for job, but he will discover
soon after behodlng the Statue of
Liberty again that none actually is
awaiting him.
1t was learned yesterday that while
about 10000 men OF the division ex-
pcct to return to their former Jobs,
either IN the city. upstate or in other
parts of the country, about one-fifth
of the entire division will have to
find new employment. 1t may require
thirty days to demoblize the division.
In that time the United States En-
ployment Service, 400 Fifth Avenue,
hopes to induce enough employers to
provide for all the mcn SO far, Off
cials of the service say, it has been
impossible to obtain jobs and hold
them open in advance of the mems
homecoming.
Preparations for taking the mems
applications were made more than a
month ago. Blanks were sent to Brest
by the employment service. Officers
on transports were instructed to have
the men fll out the blanks while en-
route home.
+. Z. Wood, assistant director of the
employment service said yesterday as
each man walks off the transport he
will be greeted thus: "Hand over your
application for job" A force of en-
ployment officials will meet each trans
port.
"We hope employers will be patriotic
enough to cooperate in seeing that not
days idleness is forced upon the
fighters from our home town." said
Mr.. Wood. GAS soon as we get the
applications classification will be be-
gun. AS jobs are reported open men
will be assigned to them, according to
their qualifications.
A different method in finding Jobs
for men of the nth Division has been
started. Major J. Fullerton Weaver,
chairman of the nth Division Asso-
lation, yesterday opened a special en-
ployment bureau at $50 Madison Ave
nue.. He has turned over to the en-
ployment service applications of $500
men of the division who want jobs
here. These applications were filled
out in France and received here last
week, although the division is not ex-
pected to return until about April Is.
The first applications for jobs made
IN person yesterday were by three men
who had been sent home because of
illness due to gas They were Charles

Brooklyn, carpenter; Samuel Schu-
del, AT sackman Street, Brooklyn, a
shipping clerk, and Charles A. Gracff,

January Strike Sh0med
Harbor Tie-up Dangers

THE three-day harbor strike in
January gave New York an
idea of what tie-up of harbor
traffic for any great length of
time would mean.
A grave food crisis overshad-
owed the city on the day that the
strike ended. Prices jumped
on Staten Island fifty cents on
bushel of potatoes. With the fer
rles stopped, cattle were driven
through Manhattan streets to
slaughter houses that the people
might have meat to eat. Some
food was brought through the
Hudson tubes at night. Other
supplies were diverted to come
via Poughkeepsie and Albany.
The second day of the strike
brought an assertion from B. r.
I. and Interborough officials that
they had only enough coal in
storage to keep the subway and
elevated roads running a few
days.
On the first day of the January
tlc-up railroads declared a general
embargo on freight for New
York. Thousands Of Staten Island
ers and New Jersey residents
were unable to get to New York
to work.
