A Bear story.

Walter, the renowned bcar-hunting
sailor. has deserted his camp in the Te-
ion Mountains, where for two weeks he
has been showed in, with nothing to
eat except flour, for most Of the time.
just before the snow came on, he start
ed out for deer. The weather had
been warm for several days. and the
deer kept well upon the hills. At last
he wounded one and followed il for a
mile, when il gave out, and he soon
had il dressed. But he was four miles
from camp, and he could only carry
one quarter of IL with his rifle, having
the mountains to climb As he cross
ed the creek, with his load strung with
his belt-Strap over his shoulders. he sat
down to wash his hands On looking
up, he saw something pulling at the
venison he had left hanging to a sap
ling. He was not more than fifty yards
away, and he rose to his feet for a bet
ter look, and saw a grizzly busy max
ing a square meal. lie could not re-
sist drawing his rifle on him and look
ing through the sights. The bear did
not see him. Aft / taxing aim for some
time and thinking he could make sure
thing with an ounce ball, STOPPING oc-
casionally to look over his gun and take
"A better measure of the beast, he drew
n fine sight, waited an instant until the
broadsidc of the face was well toward
him, then touched the trigger. The
bear bounded in the air rs il il had
been shot out Of the gun itself, and
Walter at the same time bounded for "A
tree. lie had no more than caught
limb before he saw the bear was max
ing toward him. Up the tree he went,
the quarter of venison still strapped TO
his back He had hardly reached his
length above the ground before the
bear, rs if just seeing him, and fright
ened, wheeled and He'd the other way
lie thinks the ball hit the bear on the
side Of the head, glanced of, and so
confused the beast that he did not
know which way be was running. lie
says he has not had nights sleep
since without seeing the grizzly close
upon him. Southern Californian

Dor, but the suspense was something
more uncomfortable even than fear.
Painfully still he lay, without NOV
ing hand or foot, for he could not tell
what deadly assault the slightest alarm
might provoke But this inaction be-
came too horrible. Human nerve could
not bear il.
Cautiously he reached out after his
rifle. His fingers closed upon It. Inch
BY inch lac dragged il towards him, till
the barrel lay across his breast, and he
could touch the lock. Ills thumb press
ed the hammer, but even now he dared
not cock il, for the click might startle
his bedfellOw, and force q battle before
he was prepared.
Sooner or later, however, il must
come, and necessity compelled him 20
venture. Stiflening his muscles, and
drawing in his breath. he thrust back
the hammer OF the lock, and the sharp
'Clck, click,N sounded fearfully dis
tinct in the dead silence.
The wild animal made quick move

a moment his unknown enemy seemed
asleep again
Would the morning never Gomez
Jack dared not fire in the darkness, for

proved indeed beast Of prey, there

in his life had the boy passed such an
hour. His mind was terribly active,
and vivid memories of all he had ever
done, and regrets for every misdemean-
or, with wild thoughts Of what the end
of this adventure might possibly be,
peopled his vigil Of danger, till il be-
came a nightmare.
Slowly, very slowly the darkness
broke away, and Jack, sickened with
his long suspense, cautiously turned his
head. There, close 10 him, stretched
ont in an attitude Of rcpose, lay full

his rifle forward 4 little more. What il

At the instant OF the discharge he was
on his feet, with his hunting-knife in

But there was no need Of the knife
now. The bullet had crashed through
the brairf Of the PROSTATE beast, killing
him on the spot. Jacks danger was
over But even now, whenever he tells
the story, he SAYS he can feel the cod

terrible morning in the Adirondack
woods, when he lay IN bed with the

Colonel A. G. Haskell-Dear Sir
Your note of this date is before .ne,
asking an expression of my views as
to the existence of rancor and mani
festations Of violence in the character
Of the Democratic canvass of this
State.
am unable to throw much light
on this subject for two reasons. In
the first place, I have been absent
from the State for the last three
months. and only week has passed
since my return to the city. In the
second place, my ideas of the charac-
ter and responsibilities Of the judi
cial Office have lei me at all times to
abstain from participating in political
action, and accordingly 1 have little
information except that derived from
public rumor and the newspapers of
what has transpired at political gath
erings.
can only say that ] have wit
messed nothing beyond the circum-
stances generally characteristic Of an
excited political canvass. have seen
no violence; on the contrary, so far
as l have had intercourse with gen
tlemen of your party, have observed
less disposition to excited statement
and personal bitterness than during
any of the previous political cam
paigns of this State.
sincerely hope that the fears of
many that the lawless portion of the
community will be permitted to dis
turb the peace and injure the good
name of the State are groundless. l
am satisfied that it is the intention Of
the leading members Of your party
to prevent such state of things, and
I believe they have the ability to do
so. Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
A. j. WILLARD.

NEwDERRY, Oct. 9, 1916.
In reply to your inquiry I have to
say that ain in nowise prepared to
express any just opinion upon the
peace of the State, except SO far as
concern the circuit over which have
the honor to preside. Since my ap-
pointment to the Bench have been
engrossed by my Judicial duties,
which have been and are onerous.
They have left me without time or
inclination to become advised of par
ticular matters outside of my circuit.
I an not aware of any resistance
to the process of the court in this
county where I have been holding
court for week. Unusual quiet
prevails There seems to be public
apprehension that the times are out
Of joint, and general anxiety that
public order should he preserved.
Speaking for this circuit l can only
say that while the public mind is of
course inAamed by the ardor of the
campaign, I have not yet been con-
fronted by any organized or lndlvldu-
al resistance to the authority OF the
courts. The good sense of the people
will continue to preserve the public
peace. l., Y. NoRTHKor'
