said. But he didn't come for a long
time. The party 'doused" the burning
kerosene and sat in darkness for two
hours or more. The hard seats in the
branches, the long, tedious vigil, tho
quiet Of the night, and natural drowsi-
ness soon relieved the party of its
spirits, and the proposition then was
made to go home. just then, however,
a connection in the bushes was heard.
1T grew louder and louder. Then
there was a roar, and pretty soon a
rustic in another direction. 1t was
evident that there was not only one
bear approaching. but two. The
discovery was quite enough to keep
every hunter in his perch. But the
grizzlies did come near the tree. They
seemed to meet in the bushes about
twenty yards away, and to be bent ON
having a good time until the breakfast
hour. They growled and yowled and
skylarked about for nearly two
hours, The half-frozen hunters in the
tree could see as the early dawn APP
preached the chapparral move like
waves in the sea, but they could see
nothing to shoot at. An hour later
daylight came and the bears began to
think of breakfast. Slowly one of the
monsters emerged from the brush. He
was Il tremendous animal, weighing a
good deal more than a half u ton. He
came along with that lazy and
peculiar shuttle so characteris-
tic of the grizzly. His
companion, evidently a female, was
smaller but none the less formidable
looking. The hunters proposed to
open fire, but Mr.. Keely pleaded for
just n more chance with his lariat.
This was reluctantly granted, for all
were in great haste to end the bust
ness.
This story might have had a differ
ent ending had Mr., Kelly been refused
permission to try his lariat. 1t was

w. THE BIG

Kingwood has decided to observe
the Glorious Fourth in great shape
and arrangements are already un-
der way. The Mozart Band has
charge of the matter and will un-
doubtedly make grand success.
The main feature Of the occasion
will be Tournament, like the one
last year at the Reunion. This Will
be over on Skaters Knob again and
the same riders and perhaps others
will enter for the contest. The
Rowlesburg Military Company,
Austen Cornet Band and Terra Al
Ia Band, has been invited to come
and take part in the Big Parade.
The knights of Pythias and Patri-
arch Militant will parade and drill,
and if all these other organizations
attend, as expected, it will be big
time for Kingwood. The Programe
and full arrangements will be an
nounced later on, as the matter is
only just now getting under head
way, but, let everybody arrange to
come, for the affair is assured to
come off.
