STARTING A sNOWSLIDE.

81 was once caught among the noun
,ains of Nevada by the sudden closing
in of winter" said the old prospector,
land the only thing I could do was to
hang on and wait for break to let
me get out.
81 did not suffer from either cold or
hunger, but 1 was given considerable
worry by a silver-tipped bear who was
prowling around my hut every night,
and itching to make a meal of me. The
snow fell four feet deep and hung on
for two weeks.
Then there came a Chinook wind
and a thaw. 1 was standing in the
cabin door one afternoon, when I saw
the bear lodging around on the noun
tain side just above me He saw me
plainly enough, and his plan was to
sneak down and take me by surprise.

making from bowlder to bowlder, and
was about to surprise him with a
bullet from my rifle when something
happened. He started a snowslide and
began to come down with it. He tried
his best to claw out of it, but down
he came in spite of all he could do,
and down came 10000 tons of snow
ahead and along with him.
THE slide missed my cabin by about
hundred feet, and went whining
down into the valley to form mass
thirty feet thick. The bear and I look
ed each other in the eyes as he passed,
and that's the nub of my story, if there
is any nub to it. He couldn't speak,
of course. but he could look, and the
look on his face plainly said:
"'Old man. if you'll get me out of
this I'll never be bad again
It returned his look. and have no
doubt he interpreted it as saying:
"'Durn your hide, but I wouldnt
trust one of your kind ten feet away.

of despair, and took fall over a bank

When it had been DISPOSED of he re-
turned for the springs. In his impet-
uous way he made a sudden dive and
lifted and twisted and yanked. and 1
knew that another calamity was at
hand. A set of bed springs can't be
toyed with like a bolster. 1t takes
some planning and diplomacy to get
them to vacate a bedroom and occupy
some other quarters.
AS Mr.. Bowser began to prance
around the room with the springs l
heard sudden fall and ran up and
looked into the room to find him on his
back, with his legs tangled up with the
wires I drew back while he was get
ting uD. and for the next five minutes
he was busy with Grafton in which
the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers and
the satanic ingenuity of the man who
invented bed springs were about
equally disparag ed Not wishing to be
overheard he kept his voice down. hut
it was thrilling grafton, nevertheless.
When it was concluded he got hold
of the springs in a careful and deliber-
ate way and they went to join the
mattress without further adventure.
Then he was ready to take down the
bedstead. which was really a job for
two men, and as he stood and surveyed
it I heard him say:
IT'S big as house and heavy
as a load of bricks. but I'll have the
best of it il five minutes. 1 wonder
whether you take the headboard or
footboard first? Mebbe it don't make
any difference"
