The Truce of the Bear.


Yearly with tent and rifle, our careless
white men go
BY the Pass called Muttianee, to shoot
in the vale below,
Yearly by Muttianee, he follows our
white men in
Matun, the old blind beggar, bandaged
from brow to chin.
Eyeless, noseless, and lipless--toothless
of broken speech,
Seeking a dole at the doorway he num-
bles his tale to each
Over and over the story, ending as he
began;
Make ye no truce with -zad-the
bear that walks like man!
There was flint in my musket-prick-
ed and primed was the pan
When 1 went hunting -zad-the
bear that stands like man.
I looked my last on the timber, looked
my last on the snow
When 1 went hunting Adam-zad fifty
summers ago :!
II know his time and seasons as he
knew mine that fed
By night in the ripened maizefeld and
robbed my house of bread
knew his strength and cunning as he
know nina thot crepf
AT dawn to the crowded goat pens and
plundered while 1 slept.
"Up from his stony playground-down
from his well-digged lair
Out on the naked ridges ran Adam-zad
the bear,
Groaning, grunting and roaring, heavy
with stolen meals,
Two long marches to northward and l
was at his heels!
1.-TWO full marches to northward. at the
fall of the second night,
1 came on mine enemy, Adam-zad, all
weary from his flight.
There was a charge in the musket--
pricked and primed was the pan
My finger crooked on the trigger--when
he reared up like man.
Horrible, hairy, human, with paws like
hands in prayer,
Making his supplication rose Adam-zad
the bear!
looked at the swaying shoulders, at the
paunchs swag and swing,
And my heart was touched with pity FOR
the monstrous, pleading thing.
Touched with pity and wonder, did not
fire then
have looked no moro on women--J have
walked no more with men.
Nearer he tottered and nearer, with paws
like hands that pray
From brow to jaw the steel-shod paw, it
ripped my face away!
Sudden, silent and savage, soaring as
flame the blow
Faceless l fell before his feet fifty sum-
mers ago.
l heard him grunt and chuckle-I heard
him pass to his den.
He left me blind to the darkling years
and the little mercy of men.
Nov ye go down in the morning with
guns of the newer style,
That load q have felt) in the middle and
range Il have heardD a mile?
Luck to the white mans rifle, that shoots
so fast and true,
But-pay, and lift my bandage and
show what the bear can dol"
(Flesh like Stag in the furnace, iinobbed
and withcred and gray
Matun the old blind begsar. he gives good
worth for his pay)
Rouse him at noon in the bushes, follow
and press him hard

Nor for his raging and roarings finch We
from Adam-zad.
But (pay and put back the bandage)
this is the time to fear,
When he stands up like tired man,
tottering near and near;
When he stands up as pleading, in mon
strous, man-brute guise,
When he wells the hate and cunning of
the little swinish eyes,
when he shows as seeking quarter, with
like hands in prayer,
That is the time of peril-the time of the
Truce of the Bear!"
Eyeless, noseless and lipless, asking a
dole at the door,
Matun, the blind old beggar, he tells it
o'er and DER;
Fumbling and feeling the rifles, warming
Hearing our careless white men talk of
the morrow's game;
Over and over the story, ending as he be-
gan:
There is no truce with Adam-zad. the
bear that looks like mani"

Somebody's Darling.

Into ward of the whitewashed halls,
Where the dead and dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets shell and balls,
Somebody's darling was borne one
Somebody's darling, so young and so
brave,
Wearing yet on his pale, sweet face,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave,
The lingering life of his boyhood's
grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of gold,
kissing the snow on that fair young
brow,
Pale are the lips of delicate mold,
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue-veined
brow.
Brush all the wandering waves of gold,
Cross his hands on his bosom now.
Somebody's darling is still and cold
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murmur prayer, soft and low
One bright curl from it's fair mates take,
They were somebody's pride, you
know.
Somebody's hand has rested there;
Was 1t a mothers, soft and white?
And have the lips of sister fair,
Been baptized in the waves of light?
God knows best; he has somebody's love,
Somebody's heart enshrined him there;
Somebody waited his name above.
Night and morn on the wings of
prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away.
Looking SO handsome, brave and
grand;
Somebody's kiss ON his forehead lay,
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's waiting and watching for
him.
Yearning to hold him again to their
heart;
And there he lies with his blue eyes dim.
And the smiling, childlike lips apart;
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausing to drop on his grave a tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his head:
Somebody's darling slumbers here"
