Indians of the frozen north. and his OBJ

practical knowledge of the land so little
known and so seldom heard of before the
discovery of the great gold fields along
the Yukon River and its tributaries.

THE KITTEN AND THE BEAR.
Puss Frightened Bruin UP a Tree
and Kept Him There.

Chris Burns, the veteran First Ser
geant of Troop D, had a kitten which,
during the summer camping Of the
| troop at the Lower Geyser Basin, made
her home within the Sergeant's tent.
Here, curled up on pair Of army
blankets, she defied the world in gen.
eral, and dogs in particular. When the
latter approached, she would elevate
every bristle on her brave little back,
her eyes would glow like live Goals, and
her tail would swell up threateningly.
If dogs approached too near, she would
hiss and exhibit the usual signs Of hos
tility until the intruders had vanished
from her neighborhood.
One day, when the camp was bathed
in sunshine, and every soldier in camp
felt lazy, an inquisitive black bear came
down the mountain side, and, whether
because he was in search of adven-
ture or because attracted by a savory
smell from the cooks fire, began to
walk among the white tents of the cav
airy command.
Suddenly the kitten caught sight of
him. Dogs by the score she had seen,
but this particular dog was the larg-
est and the hairiest dog she had ever
enough for her that an enemy had in
vaded her special domain Kissing
forth her spite, while her little body
quivered with rage she darted forth
at the bear. The onslaught was sud
den, and one glance was enough for
Bruin. With snort of fear Bruin
made for the nearest tree, a short dis
tance away, and did not pause until
he was safely perched among the up
per branches. Meanwhile, the kitten
stalked proudly about on the ground
beneath keeping close guard over her
huge captive, her back still curved into
a bow, and her hair still bristIing with
righteous indignation, while her tail
would now and then give a significant
little wave, as if to say, That's the
way / settle impertinent bears"
The soldiers, who meanwhile had
poured forth from their tents. could
scarcely believe their eyes; but there
was the bear in the tree and the kis-
ten below, and there We're those who
had seen the affair from beginning 10
to end.
And perhaps the strangest part of it
all was that the bear would not stir
from his safe position in the branches
until the kitten had been persuaded to
leave her huge enemy a clear means af
retreat. Then he slid shamefacedly
down from his perch. and ambled
hastily off towards the mountain
