GOOD-BY TO THE BOY HUNTERS

"I'll kill that monkey!" roared Ham as he ran into the camp and picked up his ruined clothing. "Look at this!"

"And this!" added Carl Dudder, snatching up the remains of his sleeping blanket.

"It was the chimpanzee, sure enough," said Dick Bush.

"Come on after him!" exclaimed Shep. "Remember the reward," he whispered to his chums.

All presently made off after the chimpanzee. They kept in a bunch at first, but gradually separated, the Spink crowd going one way and Snap and his chums in another.

"I'm glad we caught sight of him as we did," said Whopper. "Now those fellows know we were not guilty of the rough-housing."

"It certainly was rough," was Giant's comment. "Three-quarters of their things are ruined."

"Perhaps they can hold the circus proprietor responsible," said the doctor's son.

They moved forward for nearly a quarter of a mile, and were on the point of giving up the search and returning to camp when Giant caught sight of a small, cave-like opening on the mountain side.

"Let's look in there," he said. "See, there is a vest on the ground in front of it!"

"Be careful---the chimpanzee may be dangerous!" warned Snap.

They hurried forward, with eyes and ears on the alert. Giant looked into the opening.

"No monkey here," he announced. "But he has been here. Look!"

And much to Snap's delight he held up the missing camera. Then he ran into the cave and came forth with Shep's watch, and a number of trinkets taken from the Spink camp. 1. Who held up a missing camera?

Mary and Peter were having a picnic with some friends near a river when Mary shouted,"Look!That's a spaceship up there and it's going to land here." Frightened by the strange spaceship,all the young people got into their cars and drove away as quickly as possible except Peter and Mary. They were more curious than frightened. They watched the spaceship land and saw a door open,but nobody came out,so they went to look into it. In the center of the floor,there was a lot of food. Peter followed Mary into the spaceship and did not hear the door close behind him. The temperature fell in no time and very soon the two young people didn't know anything. When they came to themselves,they were surprised to see that the spaceship disappeared, their car was near them. "What happened?"asked Mary. Peter scratched his head,saying slowly,"Don't ask me. Perhaps we had a problem. Come on. It's time to go home." After driving about fifty meters,they found a thick wall made of something like glass stood in their way. On the other side of the wall,a few strange aliens were looking through the wall and reading a notice,it said,"New comers at the zoo: a pair of earth villagers with their _ ." 1. who went into the ship first?

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. Moreover, a conflict of interest between professional investment managers and their institutional clients, combined with a global glut in investment capital, led to bad investments by asset managers in over-priced credit assets. Professional investment managers generally are compensated based on the volume of client assets under management. There is, therefore, an incentive for asset managers to expand their assets under management in order to maximize their compensation. As the glut in global investment capital caused the yields on credit assets to decline, asset managers were faced with the choice of either investing in assets where returns did not reflect true credit risk or returning funds to clients. Many asset managers chose to continue to invest client funds in over-priced (under-yielding) investments, to the detriment of their clients, in order to maintain their assets under management. This choice was supported by a "plausible deniability" of the risks associated with subprime-based credit assets because the loss experience with early "vintages" of subprime loans was so low. 1. How are professional investment managers compensated?
2. what effect does this have?
3. did they feel pressure to grow the assets under their control?
4. who did they have a conflict of interest with?
5. what decision did they have to make when profits from credit assets went down?

7. did this benefit their clientele?
8. what effect did too much global investment capital have?
9. was the danger with subprime mortgages considered high?
10. what could they have done instead of investing the client's money?
