Well, it has been some time since then, but neither Richard nor have forgotten 1t --our narrowest escape. From death? you ask From worse than death.
 We had been married only short time when we took her into the family, cousin of Richards, fourth or fifth removed, or something of that sort, distant but still sufficiently kth to be numbered in the kin
 I felt sorry for Fanny, that was her name, for she had no home. So, getting Richard alone one night, I whispered to him all about her. How lonely she was, now de- pendent, how in need of friends. And Rich ard agreed to my plan. We would adopt Fanny, with her sorrows and her twenty years of life.
 An orphan, with a small competence, she had come to the city to add to her mite by working out a living in the great metro- polls But my plan was to take her into the family and make sister of her-for longed for sister, and as Fanny was love hungry, we agreed that sister she should be to us all.
 What a pleasant winter that was. Fan nv. Richard and I went everywhere and can truthfully say now that I had nothing without Fanny for We divided everything evenly. 'sWhat blessed world it is,' l said to Richard one night, after we had returned from the theater and were sitting by the hearth in our own pretty room, with Fanny

retired for the night, land how fortunate that heaven has sent us such kind, good sister as Fanny.
 Richard said nothing, and I recalled ar rewards that he looked little queer as he nodded his head.
 The first of 1t came something like thls:
 Richard returned home late one night and, instead of bounding up stairs to our little private sitting room as usual, he fingered down stairs in the hall. When he came up I noticed that he had on his smoking jacket and slippers and held in his hand well filled pipe
 That was thoughtful of you, puss," said he, reaching for a match to light the pipe, "everything ready for me. down below"
 That must have been Fanny's work, I said. laughing. ''but where did the child get your slippers? I thought there were hsre.'
 Richard laughed and looked at me lit- tie keenly; and at that moment I thought I heard the rustling of a skirt in the hall, though it might have been Richard cough ing.
 The next time Richard was late the same thing happened. When he came up stairs, midnight though it was. he had on smoking jacket and slippers; and once he mentioned that Fanny had been down in the drawing room waiting for him by the open fire, hold ing his coat to warm it.

 T stood the pain for an hour, unable 10 help myself. Then I concluded that must release myself or die.

 Larsen Is a farmer, and this winter bears commenced stealing his pigs. Finally he built dead-fall, or bear pit, placing it di- rectly in the trail that the marauders used to reach his pig pen.
 ''One night recently" he says, lon reach- ing the trap l found an immense brown bear in it, the largest I have ever seen dur ing a lifetime spent in the woods. The log of the trap had fallen across its launches and broken it's back. The animal was alive, however, and full of fight. l put two bull lets from my Winchester into it's head and the bear turned over as if dead. I then climbed down into the pit to see the best means of getting to work at skinning the animal In doing this it was necessary for

 .'No sooner had my hand touched his head than, with a snap there was no avoiding. he raised and caught me by the right arm, just above the elbow, sinking his tushes deep to the bone. At the same time he sent his claws into the leg of my right boot Fortunately had brought my Winchester into the pit with me and had leaned 1t against the side as it happened within reach of my left hand The bear had me secure ly pinioned and I could feel his tushes crunching on the bone of my arm.

 Hunting is the diversion of town and country folk alike, and many are the tales of adventure that are told these winter nights. Encounters with moose, deer and bears are common, but the experience of Ambrose Larsen recently with a captured brown bear is thrilling enough to be re- corded.

SENT IN FALSE ALARM
Miscreant Causes Fire Department
aTwO Mile Run.

Two Mile Run.
Fire department No. 1 was caused
needless run yesterday morning by some
niscreant. who sent in an alarm from the
corner Of Eleventh street and Biting ave
nue.. The entire force from No. was on
hand at the supposed fire, and the run Of
two miles was made in excellent time.
Arriving at the corner the fire boys began
hunting for the flames, but no one in
that vicinity knew Of fire, and had not
even heard of one.
Chief Walden visited every house near
the corner, and succeeded in getting
very good description of the person who
sent in the alarm, and will try 10 hunt him
down. Il is said that the fellow is being
shielded by someone living near the cor
ner. 'If find him." said Chief Walden,
there will be a little fire around here
ANYHOW"
Such mischief as the sending in of false
alarms to the fire department is liable at
any time to cause a great deal of harm.
There is always liability of an accident
in a long run. besides the great fatigue
to the fire teams, and the risk of a fire
breaking out in another part of the citv.
when the department would be greatly
Needed Therefore, if this fellow who
caused the run yesterday is aDprehended.
Chief Walden says he will make an ex-

BIG RIVER RISING RAPIDLY
Was Full of Muddy Water, SIush and
Ice Yesterday.

Big river is on tear. Old settlers say
the rise came Unexpectedly early-earlier
than was ever known before. The river
was up considerably yesterday and was
still rising last night. At 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon it lacked about two feet
of covering the islands at the Douglas
avenue bridge, and the water had gained
an immense velocity. The river was full
of ice. some very large chunks floating
with the mush ice in the river. a gentle
man who was watching the current yes
terday stated that he had recently re-
turned from Colorado, and that the state
had more snow than was ever known be-
fore in her history. The mountains are
all full Of gorged snow, even TO the foot
hills. This snow will soon begin to melt,
he says, and it is wonderful what amount
Of it will flow into the Arkansas river.
He says the people of Wichita should be
warned Of floods this spring, such as they
have never known before, and they ought
to begin TO prepare for them in time.
