CHAPTER ".

When the bear came rushing out
of the thicket at Ben, Nancy was also
frightened, but, happily for him, she
did not lose her presence of mind. She
was carrying her rife in one hand and
helping to draw the sled with the 9TH
er, and she was not five seconds let
ting go and lifting her rifle for shot
Ben was trying to scramble up. and
the bear was within ten feet of him
when the report of the gun rang out
and Bruin tumbled on his side. He
was up again in a few seconds, and
as he staggered around Ben aimed for
his eye and put bullet through his
brain. The children stood looking at
each other for a moment before they
could speak. Ben had given himself
UP for lost when he fell. and now the
bear was lying dead at his feet, while
his sister stood with her rifle in her
hands and the tears in her eyes.
THAT was brave of you, and L want
to kiss you.' said Ben at last, and
when thev had embraced each other
they sat down on the sled to rest their
trembling limbs. Tt was still early in
the afternoon. and after little they
loaded the bear on the sled and again
returned to the fishing village. Fifty
men gathered around them to view
the carcass and ask all about it, and
both children received so much praise
that their cheeks were red with some
thing beside the cold.

butcher: "but his fur is prime, and 1

grieved tone.

all over again, until they all knew it
by heart. and the detectives laughed
and said they guessed they wouldn't
stay any longer.

for both of us. That will make SIS
have paid you to-day, and you are
making more money than any three of
u.s."
Mr.. Brady had never seemed to care
to make money, but Ben and Nancy
were eager to earn every dollar they
could. BY and by they would want to
go out into the world and seek a bet
ter education and live in a different
manner, and they realized that they
must have money to do it. When they
had been paid for the bear they had
more money in the house than ever
before, but they intended to keep right
on killing and selling game just the
same.
The childrens story got to be
known to all the fishermen, and while
most of them were willing to help and
encourage them, there were two or
three hard characters who envied
them their good luck and began plan
ming a crime. They figured that there
must be as much as 5000 in the house,
with only two children to defend it,
and If they could succeed in entering
the cabin the money would be handed
over to them at once. If it wasn't

dow" replied the other, and he went
away to see.
The windows had been nailed down
when winter came and all the crevices
stopped up, and after trying them for
ten minutes the men saw that they
must adopt some other plan. They
retired a few steps to consult, and
after a few minutes they approached
the door again, and one of them
knocked loudly and called out: "In-
side the house therel I am a hunter
and have lost my way and want 10
find shelter from the stormi"
His first knock and call did not
arouse the children, but his second
did, and as Ben sprang out of bed
and began dressing he called back:
Eyes, 1 will let you in in a minute,
and you shall have food and shell
teri"
"Oh. Ben, but be CAREFUL" whis-
pered Nancy, as she also got out Of
bed. Some of those men at the fish
ing village are bad men and would rob
US of our money. Do not let this
man in until we get our rifles down."
1t was well for them that Ben took
her advice. The rifles were always
kept loaded, and it was not until each
one had weapon in hand that the boy
advanced to the door and dropped tina
bar. A moment later the door was
pushed open and two rough-lookng
men entered the cabin.

Now, there, SOL"

And you stop shaking her or you'll

out again."
But alasl the warning came too late.
Georgette Ethelinda's beautiful dress
had fallen off, and her side had burst
open. and her vital organs, consisting
of rags and sawdust, fell upon the
sands.
But Sir Walters eyes grew wide
and bright, as he stopped and picked
from among the rags yellow cfamois
bag, inside of which he could feel
some hard little things.

But by this time Sir Walter was far

of anxiety for her darling Georgette,
raced after him.

There were two polling booths this

little iron house set in a vacant lot.
After school the children gathered
around this one.
