AS yet there is little confirmation of the
rumors that the town has already fallen,
but in any case it's capture is only an af-
fair of a few hours, as the defenses on the

road to Almyros, from which point it will
probably be conveyed by sea to Lamia,

distant relative to her own home. Lizzie
carried pot Of honey under one arm and
an umbrella under the other.
As Is well known, bears possess an al
most unconquerablel liking for honey. They
love honey almost as much as they do life
and will run risks to get their paws in the
sweet stuff. Bruin came ambling awk-
wardly after Lizzie. The child had no
thought'of BEARS and it was not until she
heard a snort at her elbow that she turned
and saw the black bear. There was moth
ing particularly ferocious looking about
the animal. As Lizzie turned around the
bear stumbled backward much after the
fashion of a clumsy Newfoundland dog.
Then it sat up on its launches and eyed
the child.
1t did not take Lizzie long to guess that
the bear was after the honey. She knew
