In n Bears Clutches.

About month ago Miss Alice Corey,
of New York City, came to visit her
uncle, a German, who owns a small
farm in the mountains, six miles north
west of this place. Miss Corey is about
sixteen years old, and her parents are
well to do. Her uncle has daughter,
Clara, also aged about sixteen years.
Her father having but one son, Clara
has for years helped to do the work on
the farm, and she has become an ex-
pert shot with a rifle. She has a mania
for hunting, and she frequently goes
into the forest in search of game.
A few days ago Clara invited her
cousin to accompany her on hunting
expedition. They started from the
house shortly after breakfast. Alice
with a double-barrelled gun and Clara
with rifle. After securing the woods
for several hours without much sue
cess they visited /" Dark Swamp" This
swamp embraces several acres, is Dense
ly wooded, and bears are frequently
seen there. The girls reached the edge
of the swamp at noon, and started into
the thicket. They had gone but a short
distance when Miss Corey, who was
walking a few yards behind her cousin,
heard a cracking noise in the bushes a
short distance back. Looking around,
she saw a large black bear coming
toward her. Clara, who had frequent
ly encountered these shaggy monsters,
called to her frightened cousin to come
to her. She then drew her rifle to her
shoulder and, taking deliberate aim at
the animal, awaited until it came with
in easy range, and then fired. The
bear uttered a howl of pain and fell
bleeding. As Clara's rifle was a sing le-
barrelled one, she seized the double
barrelled gun from her cousin and dis
charged both barrels at the infuriated
animal, in the hope of killing it out
right. But, with the disappearance of
the smoke from the gun the bear was
seen writhing, but not dead. The
brave young woman then approached
cautiously to within reaching distance
of the wounded animal, and, taking
from a large leather belt encircling her
waist a bone-handled deer knife,
plunged it to the hilt into the bears
neck. At this moment the dying
monster gave a sudden lunge and fast
ened its sharp claws into the girls
skirts, pulling her down. Her fright
ened cousin ran about wildly and
as there was no house within two miles,

turned to where Clara was still strug-
Cling with the animal. The bear still
held the girl in its grasp, bat was
rapidly growing weaker. The girl was
all the time using her knife with good
effect. She dealt the dying animal
blow after blow, until it finally re-
leased its hold and rolled over dead.
Though very much exhausted and
considerably scratched by the bears
claws, Clara, with the assistance of her
cousin, was soon able to walk. They
marked the spot where the dead bear
lay, and then returned home. Clara's
father and brother drove to the swamp
and brought the bear in, which, when
dressed, weighed $40 pounds. The
skin is to be sent to a New York taxi
dermist to be stuffed, and it will be
kept by the young woman as a souvenir
of her terrible struggle and fortunate
escape.-Hunter's Range, Pa, Cor. N.

When he learned what was the matter
he was afraid to come aboard. He i'm

and got the corporal and one soldier

three, heavily armed, boarded the ves-

arrested the two mutineers and put
them in irons.
The ship then sailed to Key West,
and the mutineers were brought before

A Romance Of the Frontier.

She was little thing, with large
luminous eyes, that, lighting up her
features, rendered positively attractive
q face that would otherwise be passed
in q crowd without q second glance,
and q wealth of coal-black hair, neatly
arranged, except single heavy lock
that by its own weight had escaped
from its fastenings. She seemed half
frightened at her position, and her dark
cheeks and forehead flushed to the roots
of her hair as she stepped into the little
room where the Squire sat dispensing
Justice. She seemed not over sixteen,
and modesty was apparent in her very
attitude, as she stood with folded hands
awaiting the commencement of further
proceedings.
Her companion was q grizzled, awk-
ward, looking man, apparently fifty
years of age, with an ugly scar stretch
ing from the inner point of his left eye
across his cheek to nearly the point of
his chin. describing an arc, which had
left q wide track bare of an otherwise
luxuriant growth of gray whiskers.
Hair matted and growing low down on
his forehead, together with the distor-
ton of his eye, occasioned by the scar,
gave his countenance sinister leer,
positively repulsive.
The in-assorted pair stood for q mo-
ment while His Honor disposed of some
papers before him, the man mbling q
worn-out felt hat, while the girl nerv-
ously twisted her fingers. As the JUS
ticeturned toward them expectantly, the
man stepped to the desk, and, leaning
toward His Honor, said in q confident
ial, husky whisper:

"Well, I reckon can give you lit

"Who are the partiesr
"This little gal here an me-"
His Honor pushed back mis- chair, put
on his spectacles, and deliberately sur
veyed the man from head to foot. His
inspection finished, he turned to the
girl, whose blushes, under his earnest,
inquiring gaze, chased each other over
neck, cheeks and forehead, until she
was one glow of burning color.
"See here, my man." said the Squire.
"come into my private room for mo-
ment. Take q seat, miss"
Leading the way to the inner room,
His Honor closed the door and turned
fiercely upon his companion. "Ain't
you ashamed of yourself, you old scoun-
drel, to come here expecting me to
marry you to child like that"
