Not long ago as a railroad train was pass-

olack bear coming around a sharp curve
The cut is SO narrow that there is hardly
room for a man to stand aside and allow an
engine to pass without striking him Bruin
was more amazed than the engineer. In
stead of stepping aside he reared on his
haunches and awaited events. The loco
motive was running less than twenty miles
an hour, for the place is a dangerous one.
Upon seeing the bear the engineer shut of
steam and applied the brakes. but the dis
tance was too short to escape an accident
The cowcatcher slid under the hind legs Of
the brute and lifted him off the ground.
Thinking all trouble was over. the engin-
Ger put on steam once more, while the fire.
man climbed out of the cab window and
s,oie along the guard rail TO find out what
had become of the bear. He was there
clasping the cowcdtcher, the lower part of
his body just grazing the ground and his
mead almost reaching the bottom of the
headlight. He seemed to understand that
the only thing he could do was to hold fast.
ana ne did SO during the run to the next
station, ten miles distant The station
agent was standing at the depot door as
the train approached The sight of a full
grown Lear on the cowcatcher fairly took
away his breath
As soon as the engine came to a stand

break for freedom. This took him
straight toward the agent, who dashed

Suddenly a big shepherd dog bounced out

paused but a minute or two but when he
passed on. the rash dog had no future in

AT the street corner a lawyer CARRYING a
double-barreled gun came face to face with
the bear, but the latter turned down the
nearest alley. The crowd increased and
encircled the frightened animal, making
escape impossible. Finding himself at bay,
bruin backed up against a barn, rearing on
his launches. The lawyer sent two bullets

The lawyer slipped another bullet into his
gun and sent the shot through bruins s head

neer and fireman recalled the fact that a

the station. and hurried back and resumed
their omcial duties after a bear hunt of
about twenty minutes.

grades, the trains are run by ordinary ad-

raised to the high level of the top Of the
blast furnaces. The locomotive adapted
for the purpose is comparatively light and
the cost OF transportation IL lessened by

This is triple production. First appears
general introduction, written by Mr..
Julian Hawthorne in his vivid style. Then
comes a well-written story of the rescue
of Miss Cisneros by Karl Decker told by
that daring correspondent himself. Finally
Miss Cisneros' story is told in her own
manner. With these contributions to an
altogether interesting narrative are printed
copies OF the petitions sent to the Queen
Regent of Spain by the women Of America
and England for the release of Miss Cis-
neros from her Cuban prison. The account
of her Imprisonment and her rescue
through the enterprise of the New York
Journal Is well enough known in outline to
take from the volume some of it's fresh
ness. but it is book that has, neverthe-
less. a certain value in that 1t makes per-
manent the record of one Of the most dar-
ing bits of journalistic endeavor ever un-
dertaken. The illustrations form a promi-
rent feature of the book being from the
pencils of Frederick Remington, Thomas
