WlLQ nc8Ely tUc BAtDC iuouUuNOhs, oheA got knocked of handsomely. Then the third bear tried it, with the same success.
 Upon that they all three stood and swung their heads and looked at it for a moment. Then they tackled 1t again.
 Meantime, Ben and l lay with our eyes to the chinks and shook with sup pressed laughter; for one would no sooner get knocked of the stump than another would try 1t.
 The bears presently began, when the barrel swung back, to strike at it with their paws. Of course, the harder they struck it, the harder it would come back at them. It was sure, finally, to knock them down.
 At length, after a smart bout at striking it, the big bear was knocked 60 hard that be turped complete somersault and was evidently hurt quite badly for he uttered roar that made the forest depths echo.
 With that another bear came out of the main camp and advanced to the scene of trouble. After some inspec- tion and head-swinging, the new conner tried to seize the barrel, and 1t seemed to us that the rest stood by and saw him fioored with great sAtis- faction. For when he had been knocked of in turn, they all started up, as if seized by 1t of hiiarity, and dashed at the barrel, by guess.
