 l had known for son,s .tms ky the signs that there was nsAt of ssb tsaxs sasss- mh"ra in the n.iyLLosLood, so ou tiAst dAy l coneludoi tlnt would put in my time finding them, as party up in Union,s~n7 wanted n pair to ssnd over over to BAlu. more to friend who va. foni 0f vutlaaitl- ish pots.
 You s-s thsi IL vas along about the ist Of September, aud pretty wsru at that, and sf.r walking ap and flown the rsv'ues l legan to get pretty tired. was lot so heavy then As an now, aud dh not weigh more than q couple of husJrcA pounds. A said. wn lirlo tired. and so, np on tue top of ike ridge 1 s.s down by the side of a smooth ehrsnst stump about twelve o~ fourten f..s nigh. l hadn't sat there more than a minute until heard something inside tho stump, and soon made out tLas 1t vas couple of cub bears playing with one Anoth r. l looked on all sides of tho stump 10 find an opening, hut nous WAS to Ls seen. Ihnn happened to notice the marks of rla~s ap the sida of the stump and an- d.rstood it. The hole went in as tue top. ] sat my gun against s bush. up-~ndsd the branch of tree, aAd WAS soon at the top of the stump looking in st she two eubs which were about the size of faA grown fat dogs.
 ! was so excited that I jumped down into lhr stump and gr.bb. the cubs. They Al first began 10 sqneal, aud then turned oa ne for fight. But they were small enough t. handle, and in minute or two Lad their mout $ tied so shey could not bite. and their sss. f.s,susd so tL.y ceuld pos scratch.
 knew that the old bear would be along found me iu ths nest 10 swung the youngsters into my tuekskin belt prspsra- tory to getting out.
 Get ousf Did get outi Land of love! 1t makes me shivsr to shink of # yet. could no iuors get out of that stump than could fly. The hollow was bell shaped. larger At the bottom thsn At tue top--so large, in fact, that es,la nosput my back against one side and my f.~t and hands against the other aad crawl ap. as rabbit. Ani other animals cliub up inside of hol- low trees.
 In no way could gst spa foot. There were no sticks inside to help nis up and l made up my mind hnd so tie srriain. About the time sxme to tiis conclusion heAri the old bear sliInhius ai, the outside of the stump. With only my hunting kuifs as msans Of dsfencs. aud ln such eioss aaAsssrs yoa mAy possibly imagine the state of iay feelings.
 Tue old bear vss nos more than half alinass, VI the oa,sihs. climbing upj lhe stump, but is seemed like mouth, nt tIss,s. At Last she reached shs top, but she didu't seem to suspect my presence S, all, as sine deliberately turned around aud began lowly descending, tail foremost.
 l felt A. though my last hour hsi come and began seriously to think about l,iny down and let the bear hill me, so KS to E. out of my misery ss quickly as possibl- Suddenly An idsa struck me, and de.la gave way to hope. drew my hunting knife and stood en tir toe. When the bear was about seven feet from Le.tona of shs hollow. 1 fastened on her t4il with viee-like grip, and with my right drcv. my hunting knife to tue hist into Lrr Lnnlci,, at the same tius yelling like whole irrLs of Indians.
 "What did she dos" chorused the
  whole crowd, who had been holding their breath. .......
 Whai dId she do7 We'll, you should have seen tue performance. She didn't stop to reflect moment, but shot out at the top of lhs stump like bull out of gun. A hairs breadth to the minute. held on until we struck tho ground, some thirty feet from the stump. Then the olL bear went like lightning into the brush, and was out of sight in half . second. was little bruised by ths fall, but that WAS all l took the cubs to Unontowu ths next day. and sn aecoaH. of the adventure got SS apiece for them. aud in those times $ was as good ss s50 now.-I5ilss SsrgA Telegraph
