behind i: and listened intently.

directly behind il and listened intently.
From the noise made by the bears deep
breathings he knew that the beast was
still sleeping sonndiy. A softer sound
fell also upon the fathers ears and
nerved him with redoubled strength
and courage. 1t was the low, gentle
breathings of his sleeping child. With
fervent prayer to God for hslE. Mr.
Ovel stepped cautiously out freq be'
hind the shelter of the tree and in {.
moment more stood at the head of the
bear. The sharp AK swung noiselessly
into the air and hung for second,
poised high above his right shoulder.
while the piercing eyes noted the exact
spot on the hairy head where the keen
blade was to fall; then, like flash OF
lightning, the ak descended and VITA Il
crash buried itself in the head of She
bear.
Mr.. Ovel did not wait to see what the
effect of his blow was; but catching
Maud up in his arms ran as fast as his
strong legs could carry him for the
house.
When he returned, shortly afterwards,
with his rifle, he found the bear dead.
The huge animal had hardly moved
after the AK crashed into his skull and
death must have been almost instan
taneous.
Mr.. Ovel skinned the bear and used
the pelt as rug; and ever after this,
when friends came to visit the Ovel
family, little Maud would explain the
presence of the bearskin rug to them
in these words: "This is tn horid bear
who stoled my pas dinner an my pa
chopped his head open with an AK" and
then she would add, with a merry
laugh: 81 an Sarah Ann thought he
was doggie an we went to sleep right
in his arms. guess you never seed
little girl who went to sleep in a bears
arms before, did you?" and, with look
which told how proud she was of this
rare distinction, she would turn to
Sarah Ann and for the thousandth
time pour into her sympathetic rubber
ears tAe story of their wonderful adj
venture with the black bear.

rot one bit afraid of them, was over
joyed when she saw the bear approach
ing; for she did not dream that the
great animal was anything but very
large dog. "Oh, doggie, you'll let my
Sarah Ann ride on your back, won't
you? An we'll s'prise my pa" she
cried, jumping to her feet and tightly
hugging Sarah Ann to her bosom in an
ecstacy of delight.
The bear, which by this time was
only few feet from Maud, stopped and
again looked at the little girl inquis-
itively, as if doubling wheth err or not it
would be best to approach nearer to
this strengthening little animal But
a delicious scent, which now assaulted
his nostrils, soon convinced him that it
would be wise to cultivate a closer ac-
quaintauce. So the great beast trotted
up to the little girl and cautiously
pressed his cold, black nose against her
warm, red cheek.
Maud, who thought the bear meant
this for a kiss of welcome and who
could never endure to see Sarah Ann
Sighted in the least, at once held the
doll up in front of his bcarship, exclaim-

THAT LITTLE HAND.

So soft an helpless an purity, a-holdin on to
me,
That little hands about the incest thing ever
see
An the young one hangin back ards lhe's such
little onel,
An maxim me Stoop to his questions bout every
thing under the sun.
An time. wuth so much to q farmer, goin' lick
ETY. split!
An l lazin round with a baby How foolish a
man can git!
Them little fingers slick an pink as the roses
out in the bed,
Make me tingle an creep all over, an glad to be
druv round an led.
They hold onto me so trustin, as II Id allus do
right
{ tell you I'm on my honor when that little
chaps in sight
IT'S a temptin world. but whatever a man
might do alone,
The love of right sprouts in him when he has a
child of his own
Why, when I'm up to the swearin' pint them
fingers on my cheek
Stroke down the ugly temper till I'm blamed if
can speak
There's somethin Gurus in EN-, an in his big
blue eyes:
They make me kinder pity folks use ter hate
an despse.
How they stretch out Of mornin afore you
can fairly sec,
In search Of poppys whSkers for little early
spree,
To be started up when mans so tired he don t
know what he's about
Would make anyone but dad mad as all
git out,
An then a night they go creepin' into my big
rough fist.
An the fair little face is put up to be patted an
cuddled an kist;
An the purity shoulders slip out O the frock-he
haint no mother, you see;
It's nigh three ytSrs since she died an left him
to me-
An when git round to turn in, there he lies
asleep in his nest
cant help DRAWN him cloSt an huggin' him
up to my breast.
An he wakes just enough to say poppy" an
slip his hand into mine,
An his touch goes through my veins like a
drink O strong drink.
