"Only ycsterda^', dear girl, you would have been amused at so marvelous a t ransformation. Hut to mo you are always beautiful and dear and sweet." She was keenly conscious of the tenderness in the clergyman's voire and face; there was undoubtedly something in her own heart that responded to it. but. alas, it wan all so matter of fact, she could rely too surely on, what she considered hin commonplaco affection. He had boarded with her aunt, the former clergyman's widow, since Margaret's early girlhood, and she had passed the half of every year under the same roof with him. They were too much on the plane of humdrum friendship ever to bo anything more, she told herself petulantly. Her young soul yearned for great heart throbbing, undying, die-for-aloved one, shrouded in mystery romance. And all this she believed she had found in the godlike, handsome Perclvnl Harriaton.

Garner, who has ideas of his own concerning the right way to Impart knowledge to a chimpanzee. l'rof. Garner does not make any extravagant claims lor his monkey or predict any sensational future fur Susie. Iu the course of a talk concerning his plans the profossor said: "I have lived in the jungle of tho Kongo for several years for the especial purpose of studying the chatter of tho monkeys. In that long time 1 have heard enough to convince mo that the monkeys actually havo a vocabulary of their own. It is not a very extensive one. There are possibly about :;0 distinct and different sounds, which through modulation and iiiicv.ni.111 iii?y oe iuaue to convey an incalculable number of meanings. It would bo Impossible to tell you what tho sounds are like. In my cane in the jungle, with the monkeys chattering around me, I caught the sounds of their speech in innumerable phonograph records, and these will later bo submitted to the scientific world. "I have been able to distinguish readily the apes' terms for ripe fruit and for dead fruit, which possibly are the subjects most frequently under discussion between the animals in their native haunts. 1 don't believe that any ape can reach a degree of Intelligence commensurato with that of children? even tho youngest children. Their bruins are similarly formed, but they are very much smaller. My endeavor has been moroly to study, not so much tho methods of communication, as the mental processes which I am sure include tho reasoning faculty."

It was In thu days when the slang term for an oft told story was a "chestnut," and as the baby certainly came under that head, she received the name, but for suphony's sake the French for tho word was employed, and she was s called Marron.
