The Bear Hunt.

The evening was bitterly cold;
the snow covered the housetops,
while streets were dangerously
slippery. Not a soul was about;
no one dared to face the binding
wind, even the ever-wakeful eye of
the society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals allowed the
horses to travel without the usual
equipment of overcoats and ear
muffs.
Daring Bill, Of great fame as a
hunter and blazer of trails, stopped
before a protecting doorway to
light his pipe. The air became
fragrant with. the aroma of the
best in town, expenses being no
object. Several citizens just
stepped out of concert hall and
gave the we'll known scout friend
ly greeting. While seated in a
nearby drugstore, Bill told some
of his exciting yarns, so in no
time they entered upon a lively
discussion of current topics.
"What do I care for city ordi-
nances and new theories? When
ever / go after any game, I
generally round it up"
The citizens knew better than
to arouse the dare-deviltry of Bill;
but, cold as it was, he was deter

mined to show them his undaunt-
ed courage. Producing a coin, he
ordered a bottle of chloroform, a
ball of Irvine and an inexpensive
manicure set. A dozen cigars
we're added to the purchase and
all the men awaited the chosen
hour.
Looking up and down the street,
Bill noticed the fashionable aud
fence coming out of the Lyceum.
The street, deserted only ten min
utes ago, was now in blaze of glory.
The time had come. Bill knew
the peculiarities of wild animals
thrown into strenuous civilization.
Old Bill quickly gathered his pur-
chased possessions, motioned to
his companions, and then boarded
streetcar. Hardly out of sight of
the city hall, he noticed the form
of big black bear. Losing no
time he jumped off the car, his
companions following his example.
With his usual quickness and cool
manner, the noted hunter ap-
preached the unsuspecting invader
of peaceful dwellings,, and with a
we'll aimed throw of the ball of
Irvine, he lassoed the bear, while a
companion applied dose of chic
reform. The third man was ready
to dispatch old bruin with the
tools reposing in the manicure set,
should the captured beast survive
the human efforts of civilized war
fare. Having securely bound the
bear, they sent for the coroner,
who issued the death certificate
without further inquiry.
Daring Bill is again the most
talked about and the luckiest man
in Minnesota. His keen judy
ment cannot be doubted and his
knowledge of bear instinct is un-
precedented. He is the only man
whose hospitality can boast of bear
steak combined with a strictly
clean conscience. Indeed, he is
the only man in Duluth who en-
joys the comfort of bearskin
coat, without causing the suspi-
cion of the society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to ANIMALS, which
cannot allow the killing of fero-
cious bears, except it be done in
the most gentle way possible.

necessary, if his plans we're to sue
coed. He got there as quickly as
possible. There we're only seven
days left, before the option ex-
pired, and it behooved them to
hurry matters. They visited
Warmers Office together. After
Perkins was introduced to Mr..
Warner, the latter said:
"Gentlemen, [ know that you
are anxious to close this deal.
Now in all this delay, there has
been some method. I never buy
a pig in a poke. When this mat
ter was preached, I thought it
sounded pretty good, and I think
80 still. I wrote my agent at
Winnipeg to let me know all about
the property under consideration.
He has sent me a complete report,
and it is very satisfactory-to me.
Now I have a proposition for you.
My agent informs me that, when
the option, which you gentlemen
hold, expires he can purchase the
hotel for two hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars. [ now offer
you two hundred and ten thou
sand dollars for your option. Your
decision must be given now, at
once, and will be final. What is
your answer"
The partners were stupe6ed
The fifty thousand dollars, which
was to have been the basis of their
fortunes, seemed to be fading away
in the distance. They requested
a few minutes to talk it over priv
ately. The financier arose, and
said:
''I'll leave for about quarter of
an hour, and by that time shall
expect an answer"
When he was gone, there was
moment of lurid utterances, and
then the firm of Perkins & Black
Ter discussed the situation, as calm
ly as possible. Blackler was for
trying elsewhere.
"No time,' said Perkins. 81
think we'll just have to accept
Warmers offer. Ten thousand
profit isn't so bad after all, and he
might have done worse by us.
We can do a whole lot with ten
thousand. He is a clever man
this Warner"
When the man of frenzied
finance returned, he found two
smiling faces, and the papers we're
quickly drawn up. The transfer
of the hotel, and the payment of
the cash was 10 be accomplished
by the agent in Winnipeg.
'1'll give my agent instructions"
said Mr.. Warner, "that you shall
be guests of the hotel for q
month"
"Now we are in clover" said
Perkins as they took their depar-
ture for the Prairie City.

we are to continue in
these pleasant surroundings? DO
YOU know what it means it we DO
not succeed in raising the wind in
The next couple of weeks? 1t
means work, with capital w,
that's what it means"
"Don't mention that word. old
man; it makes me shudder. What
can we do?"
"The trouble with you, Black
der" continued Perkins, "is that
you don't reason things out. l
don't know what would become of
you, if you weren't my partner.
Not that you don't do your share,
Blackie; don't mean that, because
your executive ability is of the
highest order, but you don't seem
able to originate any of the little
coups, for which our firm is IA
NOUS. Now I have been thinking
over this latest predicament, and
have reached conclusion.
"Well, let's have it, said Black
der.
sIn the lives of the richest men
of today 1 have noticed, after
much meditation, that there was
at one time crisis in their fnan-
cial lives, a moment when an op-
portunity presented itself, and that
the acceptance Of that opportunity
proved to be the foundation of the
great fortunes they accumulated
afterwards. Take Jim Hill, for
Instance. He knew that some day
there would be great traffic be-
tween st. Paul and Winnipeg, so
he set about establishing a means
Tor that traffic. His first venture,
Red River carts, has been succeed
ed by frst-class railway, which
also extends to the Pacific Coast.
And he had little or no capital of
his own to start with. Now I'm
mot thinking of building rail-
road at present, but I have little
scheme which, if properly carried
out, should leave us with sufficient
capital to enable us to tackle larger
ones. Here it is.
The firm of Perkins & Black.
der sat up late that night in earn
est conversation. When they
retired, it was with the firm con-
viction that at last the way was
open for their entry into the world
of great fnanciers. In the after
moon of the following day, Perkins
approached the landlord of the
hotel and asked him for few min
utes private conversation. 1t was
granted. When they had seated
themselves in the managers Office,
and had lit cigars produced by the
landlord, Perkins opened the ball.
"Mr. Thompson" he said, shave
you ever contemplated selling this
hotel?"
"Why no." was the reply; 81
find it a good investment, and do
mot care to change just now"
"Not at any priceT'
"No, sir! One hundred thou
sand dollars would not buy this
hotel."
"How about two hundred thou
sand?"
The landlord hesitated. 'Are
you talking business?' he asked.
Certainly, Mr.. Thompson; l
would not take up your valuable
aaime to talk anything else"
"Well, I think that two hundred
Nhousand dollars would tempt me.
