bear ooscluded 10 40 without his supper.
and thus spoil the anticipated funt Per
haps he would not come into the corn
until morning, and that would be too
long for the boys TO wait; or perhaps the
bear had come new route, aud would
return the same way, and 90 be out
Of the reach of the gun. Various were
The coDjectures regarding the outcome,
but when their impotence had got to
boom went the old shoot
Ing Iron, which report echoed and re-
echoed through the valley, and sent
The boys to their feet in the widest ex-
indeed it seemed more like
house being on fire than anything else,
and the inmates all scrambling to get
out. Forward, march j. was the cry all
along the line, and with lanterns, dogs
and guns, they marched to the "feld of
conflict" prepared to finish the bear,
provided that he should prove to be only
and within reach. After get
ling TO the field and looking around, no
bear, dead or alive, could be seen. Had
The gun missed the mark entirely2 or
was the ''creetcr" only slightly wounded,
and SO had escapeda
"lIellol here is q few spa,ters of blood"
says one; ''the 'varmint' must have been
hit, to q certainty" "This way" says
"here is regular pool Of the
led stuff; surely the old chap is not far
IF after losing so much bloodl Hip,
lurfah!' cries another; "here he lie, dead
IS poker, beyond all controversy" And
10 it proved to- bei the bullet having
zone through the bears vitals, and there
le lay, as calm as a May morning.
Didn't the boys feel justly elated over
heir successful bear hunt2 Didn't they
kip about like crickets on hot
,earth9 Well, they didn't do anything
Use for few moments; then settling
Town to regular business by cutting
. long pole and several blue beech withes,
Don had old Bruin strung up ready for q
.ide to the house, the pole being carried
across the shoulders Of the sturdy boys.
The bear was arfat old fellow, weigh
ng nearly four hundred pounds. The
kin brought eigh. dollars, the pur.
chaser converting It into q sleigh-robe,
Ind the grease sold for considerable
,um. The meat was divided among the
neighbors a. rare morsel when prop
erly cooked aud seasoned, though some
few were too squeamish to accept Of meat
from the hams Of ferocious bear, with
,uch frightful looking clawsl SO ended
The successful bear hunt, and oil con-
cerned were happy, and could talk Of
nothing else for . few days. But, my
yonng friends, before closing this arti.
