Jinny. The Taming of a Bad Monkey 
the dirty coop, and managed it after one or two little 
scenes, each one less violent than the last, but each 
guided by his rule never to scare any animal, never 
to hurt them, and always talk to them, very sofily. 
He did not pretend that they knew what he said, 
but he felt they got the idea that he was friendly, 
and that was enough. 
He soon found that it would not do to let Keefe 
tend her at all—the sight of that man was enough to 
set her crazy—so just because the taming promised 
to be a difficult job, Bonamy undertook it himself. 
JENNY FINDS A NEW LIFE 
After a week in quarantine Jinny was wonder- 
fully improved, her fur was clean, her scratches 
healing, and she seemed less in terror of every 
approaching sound. Bonamy now decided that 
she was fit for the big show cage. There was a 
small trap cage on the highest point of her quarters, 
and watching till she was in that he pulled the 
string, then transferred the little cage and its in- 
mate to the big outdoor place with over a dozen of 
other monkeys. 
Of course she raged at the men during the re- 
moval. But they got her safely placed, and knew 
she would be quite a drawing card, for the public 
does love a noisy, fighting animal.
