Moves Her own Cage.

She had not been placed long in the
baggage car before she discovered that
by grasping the bars with her hands
and feet and shaking herself vigorously
she was able to move the cage about the
car. To one or two of the baggagemen
she took violent dislike, and whenever
they entered to attempt any work Maud
shook In her cage until she came within
range and then made swift passes with
her right and left. More than once she
floored the baggagemen and any one
else who came within range of her long
arms.
At Chicago the animals were shipped
aboard the Lake Shore Limited-Mr.
Ditmars was permitted to bring them
East on the fastest passenger trains by
special permission of the passenger
agents. in order that they might suffer
the least possible bad effects of their
journey-and the train was hardly on
it's way to New York before Maud had
another burst of activity. In a fit of
fury she tore the teakwood door from
her cage and flung 1t at one of the bag
gagenen on the limited.
1t was only by very quick work on the
part of Mr.. Ditmars. who happened to
that the door was replaced in time to
prevent Maud from making her escape.
The baby orang-outang was quickly
affected by the low temperature in San
Francisco and caught cold the day after
IL was unloaded from the steamer. 1t
was plain to Mr.. Ditmars that II he were
to have any chance of bringing 1t to New
York he would have to keep the animal
directly under his eye.
