THE ARK-BoRN MAN.

Which OF Noah's Descendants First Saw
the Light In the Ark?
Hundreds OF ancient cleaners Of mis-
cellaneous curios, legends, myths and
traditions give us to understand that
Cush was born on the ark, says the ST.
Louis Republic. Others claim that
there was child born on the sacred
vessel, but that it was sacrificed to one
OF the wild beasts, Noah declaring that.
no person should leave the ark who
had not gone on board in the regulation
manner. The weight of the EVIDENCE
as 1T is given by the Talmudic writer's
is to the effect that Cush is the person

Bs the scores of Biblical encyclopedias,
hand books of ancient history, ETC., are
silent on the subject. In a reprint of
one of the rare old Saxon Chronicles"
Is found clew to the mystery, and an
other slight hint in an explanatory note
in Herbert's "Nimrod" In the '.Saxon
Chronicles the following occurs
"Bedwig was the son or Shem, who was
the son of Noah, and he, Bedwig, was
born on the ark" Herbert's note in
"Nimrod," colume ii, page 81, says
'Kybelc is the ark, and, as Cush was be-
gotten in the ark, his posterity were, in
n peculiar sense, descended from that
ship" Although Herbert made no di-
rect references to the fact of Cush be-
ing actually born in the ark, he speaks
of him in several places as ''Cush, the;

gagged TO sell these apples al 80 cents
bushel, he felt rather sore over his loss
and resolved to catch that bear ii he
lost two weeks in harvest time. He
hunted day and half without find
ing trace OF bear, and without shoot
ing anything bigger than lean hare.
AS BuzZell was returning to dinner
one noon he met two boys who had been
cut black berrying and had been fright
ened by a bear. According to their
story they were coming through the
pine wood below Costigan when they
heard great noise among the telegraph
wires of the Western Union line, which
follows the Maine Central railroad from
Bangor to Vanceboro. The wires would
rattle and sing, as if somebody was
clicking them with a hammer. After
half minute one wire would wabble
wildly and then become slack with a
snap. AS amateur hunters have
habit of using the glass insulating caps
for targets, and as the company had
offered a reward for evidence against
the offenders, the boys left the high
way and followed the track. Ten
rods below they discovered the cause
of the noises they had heard. A small
hut active bear had climbed a telegraph
pole and was trying to bite off the in
sulators. The boys did not stop to see
how the bear succeeded, but buried
away as fast as their bare feet could
take them, leaving two well-filled pals
of berries behind.
Buzzell not only believed what the
boys told him, but he took them home
and gave them good dinner en- con
dition that they should go bacl, with
him and help him kill the bear. Buz-
7ell, knowing how fond bears are of
sweet apples, believed the bear which
the boys had seen was the enc that had
despoiled his pumpkin-swcet tree, and
that the animal had climbed the tele-
graph pole under the delusion that the
insulators were apples. They found
the pole all right. Upon the rough
cedar bark were marks Of claws anil
tufts of black hair. Some 90 rods back
from the base of the pole were two tin
pals, which the boys claimed. They
were full of blackberres that were
worth six cents quart when the boys
put them down. Now few blackberry
seeds and a little dark fluid were all
they contained The bear. not relish

On telegraph poles, had come down and

had gone into the woods.
The boys, having exchanged IS quarts
of blackberries for dinner, and having

guided Buzzell to the telegraph pole to
no purpose, felt rs if they had made a
poor trade, and struck out to GET more
berries, leaving Buzzell to hunt alone.
They worked rapidly for about two
hours, and their pals We're nearly as
full as they had been before the bear
fiined, when something crushed among

The boys held fast to their pals and
listened. Presently they heard brush
cracking as if walked upon by some
heavy animal, and a moment later n
bear hobbled out from the maple grove
and began to pick berries for him
self. If the boys had been less fright
ened, or if they had used more care in
making their retreat, they would have
got away without trouble; but theft
haste made noise; and the noise caused
the bear to look up. Seeing the tin pals,
and, no doubt, remembering his last
interview with similar dishes, the bear
gave clluse. For the next half mile it
was wild race, with chances two tc
one in favor of the bear. The boys fol-
lowed forest road which went down
hill toward the river, giving them con-
siderable advantage, but their heavy
