"You and Aunt Joan never seem
to realize that 1 care to ho like
other girls!" cried Margaret with
Hashing eyes. "lOven you should
know that simplicity is out of date
nowadays. A girl, if sho wishes a
good time, cannot afford to ho so
different from others in her r>et."
"Forgive me, Margaret," pleaded
the young clergyman with a gleam of
something more than more friendship
In his kindly face. "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.
She had frequently met this youth
nt afternoon teas, and from the first
he had singled her out for particular
attention. Yesterday he had murmured
to her in his inimitable manner:

Minds Him Like a Child.
Philadelphia.?There will he a now
freshman at the University of Pennsylvania
this term?Susie;, tho little
chimpanzee thai Prof. Garner, tho
world-famous student of simian speech,
has brought with him from the Af
rican jungle to educate In the human
tongue. Susie will join the classes
composed of the simian species of the
university and will bo educated along
other linos laid down by l'rof. 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."
Susie during the time that the conversation
waso being carried on was

about to climb to the top when her

Significance in Names.
In an Illinois town a workingman
: having been informed that u sixth
baby had arrived at his home, ex*
! claimed: "Sufficient," and his neigh'
bors, referring tn his having given
that name?Sufficient?*to the new
arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles a case nearer
home, adds the New York Tribune.
A New York family was blessed with
nine daughters, when the stork
brought a tenth one. 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.
