"BeyoAd the laurels who should 10
come out on to but Gabe and josh,
Aoldin' their euns in their hand, aad
lookiu' skeert.
"'Boars come a-tumbhn' out o. them
taurels like bees out of a hive!' save
Gabe. They went over the hill and
down into the holler yonder a skitin'.
I don't know how many me and Josh
filled with lead, but I seen one of 'em
hump himself and sort o. fall behind
the rest and look tired
Then Evander spoke up and said
that he'd be darned if he was goin' to
tag on behind lot O. bears without
gittin' chance to have shot at 'em,
and so he'd 60 back home.
"More'n likely that'll be a good idea
for you, Evander,' says Uncle ST, for
the chances is that the bears have cir
eled round and gone back to the creek
ag'in.' he says, and you can't help but
run ag'in two or three OF 'em on your
way in he says.
$50 Evander said he didn't want to
take no setch advantage as that of
party like our'n, and he stayed with us.
eve went down in the boiler and
s'arched and secuted and s'arched, but
we couldn't git track O. that drove o.
bears, nowhow. By and by we heerd
some one hollerin' and yellin' for help,
off in little swamp. He wanted help
cause he was freed by bear, he hol-
Tered, and all of us but Paley's Bob hur-
RED over there to help him.
"Paley's Bob said he'd be consarned
if he hadn't lost his pocketbook COM
in down to the holler, and he must go
back and look for it. I guess he must
a had hard time findin' OF 1T, cause
he hadn't got back yet when we lett.
1.-The Teller in the tree was young
Ike. A big bear was at the foot OF the
tree, sure enough, but | see to once
that he was deader'n milestone.
Him and another one came tearln

old Jake swore up and down that
the dead bear was the one ne had
chased ten mile. Uncle 81 declared 1t
didn't make no difference whether
Jake had chased the bear ten mile or
twenty, it was the bear he had sent his
rifle bullet into up in the laurels along
the creek, or it wouldn't be layln' there
dead like 1t was.
eli reckOned that the bear was one
