The Ayers boys wanted bear. Not,
YOU understand, that the Ayers boys had
lost any bears. They never had proprIe-
tary interest in An animal of that SORT,

wanted was, consequently, not one that had
once been in their possession and had
strayed away TO more congeniai fello wship

bear by going where bear was. That is
the part Of wisdom, my friend, whether you
search for bears or for virtue or for worldly
wealth. GU cannot expect things to hap
pen to you unless you put yourself where
things are happening. Circumstances may
make men-but the wise man puts himself
IN line with the chain Of events. NJ sane man,
Tor instance. would lock for grizzly bear on
an Oakland feTry-boat, though bears have
been found in more unlikely places than
that since the advent OF the first Of the sons

A cattie-rancher knows by his losses, my

bears and of cattle-thieves Of q more adrot

This sort Of thing had become exceed
ingly common in the few weeks preceding
the time when IL first dawned upon the
Ayers boys that they wanted a bear
Whether bear wanted the Ayers boys Is
entirely beside the question. The opinion
OF the bear has never been asked upon that
point, and, anyway, the bear did not get
them. Neither, for ths matter OF that did
they get the bear, but that comes a little
further along in the story.

bear was rather encouraged than not
by their father. That vas q perfectly
