borne in state through the country lanes

neighboring village. The slayer of the
bear always rode on the seat with the
driver, and to-day this was Ben Tenn
pests proud distinction. The crowd
followed on foot, blowing horns, beat
ing milk-pans and yelling like Indians.
This parade was followed by games,
bonfires and general jolli6cation on
the village green, all of which Ben en-
joyed with all the zest of healthful
and triumphant boyhood.
But, perhaps, he was happiest and
proudest the next day, when the man
who bought Bruins skin placed in
Ben's sunburned little hand two gold
double eagles and one single eagle.
Fifty dollars was the reward paid by
a wealthy fur dealer for every bear
skin, and it was big sum of money in
those days. And $50 went good ways

the wildcat. The mountains were full
Of great black bears that often came
aown to the farms to steal sheep and
1emolish the cornfelds, for bears love
sweet corn almost as we'll as they love
honey. When the news ran like wild
fire along the country side that bear
had been seen il the neighborhood,
everybody, man or boy, who could
carry a gun was up in arms at

pupils for the day, merchants closed
their stores. even the clergymen left
their studies, all bent upon killing the
huge enemy that was ravaging stock
and crops.
Ben Tempest lived right at he foot Of
the mountains in weather beaten
wooden farm house. His peo-
pie were hard working and very poor.
Ben wore Eoil}espun suit and went
barefooted nine months in the year.
But he was a stout-hearted, coura-
Ceous manly chap, who did his
best to help his father i'll clearing up
the farm and 70 assist his patient, toll
ing mother in her work about the
house.
Ben's father had a little flock Of
sheep of which the bog was very fond.
He never wearied of tending and car
ling for them. The lambs all knew
him, and when he went to feed them
ran towards him uttering little cries
Of pleasure and taking the food from
his hand. You who have pets Of your

stammered out, "a bear, pa, a bear"
He then could say no more for his
grief.
In less time than it takes to tell you,
Mr. Tempesthad saddled Bess, the
brown mare. Ben had tumbled into
the saddle and was away, riding as
fast as the mare could trOt and calling
out to every man he met and at every
farm house door he passed, "a bear!

men are now turning their attention to

Most persons would find a craft Of the
size of the Windward, another yawl
rugged cutter, more desirable. She is
% feet over all, IS feet on the water
line, with 6 feet beam and feet 9
inches depth of hull, and has draught
of 4 feet The space forward of the
combined hatch and skylight has q
height of feet inches, allowing q
man to sit down completely while
cooking over an oil stove.
The windward has been tried in all
sorts of weather and has proved good
sea boat. She isn't particularly speedy,
because she was built for cruising pur-
poses, with the maximum amount Of
accommodation that the dimensions ad-
NIT of. Two men can have a jolly
good time in her anywhere while living
on board. She carries $50 square feet
of sail, but might easily carry more.
She cost about $500.
In these cruising boats the yaWl rig
is selected because of its hlndiness and
safety. When sudden squan swoops
down on such Il craft you simply huff
her sharp, let go the main hallia'yls
and down comes the biggest sail II the
run. Then you UP helm and are away
on your course, furling sail at convent
ence. In boxing and lacking through
feet at anchor the jib and mizzen are
enough TO take you out into clear water
and where more sail can be made.
Everybody knows, though, that the
yawl rig is not a racing rig.
