SHE HVGGED
fl BIG BE "A r
Daring Episode IN the Career of
q Bold and Fro1fcSome
Texas Girl.

Bear hugging is an amusement which
few people, especially young ladies,
would care to indulge in, and it is sell
dom that one would have the chance
to embrace a real live ''bruin" in his
native haunts, even if he-or she-had
the nerve and the inclination to try it.
The opportunity, however, came not
long ago to Miss Bessie Wells, a pretty
Texas lass, who visited in Seattle re-
Gently, and she startled w. d. Cam
eron, who happened to be with her at
the time, by giving a full grown Gin
namon bear in Yellowstone park a
good squeeze around the neck, says the
Seattle (Wash.) Post-Intelligencer.
Miss Wells is the ffteen-year-old
daughter of a wealthy cotton dealer Of
Austin, Tex. She is a beauty Of the
true southern type, imbued with dar-
ing and nerve. Recently with her ia
'ther, her aunt and her grandfather,
Colonel W. G. Walling, she started on
a tour of the northwest.
The party visited Seattle and then
went to Yellowstone park. They made
the journey through the park in one of
the wagons utilized for tourist travel,
and Mr.. Cameron happened to be in
the party during that trip. He de-
scribed Miss Wells daring escapade:
"Our party had stopped for the noon
hour luncheon, and while the meal was
being prepared Miss Wells and I start
ed out to pick few berries. We had
gone but a short distance when, about
hundred yards away, we saw large
cinnamon bear browsing among the
bushes. Knowing that all the animals
in the park are more or less tame, we
approached the beast. 1 held up my
hand, and the bear, thinking that l

my friend, let me tell you something.

ca, hundreds Of miles from the nearest
point where could possibly obtain any
assistance. l managed to get away,
however, with my rifle and four car
tridges. It was fourteen days before
rejoined the remnants of my party
near the Zambezi river, and during
that time l had another very narrow
escape from being murdered and lost
my rifle in the scrimmage. For days,
in fact, I lived in the very shadow Of
violent death, and my escape from all
the perils which encOmpassed me was
little less than miraculous.
'FOr some years after my escape
from the Observation-Disclosures | believed
that the warning l had received did
really emanate from the spirit of my
friend, David -, through the medium
of his sister, but l am now inclined to
think that the communication was de
rived from the brain of the medium
herself, though do not believe that she
consciously controlled the movements
of the pencil that wrote the message
any more than did myself. But Miss
T., who was the daughter of a mis-
sionary long resident in Matabeleland,
had known me since she was child and
was, therefore, probably interested in
my welfare. She knew, too, that | was
going into the then unknown lands be-
yond the Zambezi, somewhere near the
country where her brother had not
long before been murdered by the ma
tives, and she doubtless dreaded that
might meet with the same fate"

were placed in her hands, either in the

Of my own, was slowly traced on the

lowed by a sentence which read, Sc

words were repeated several times, my
hand always holding the pencil that
wrote them, but unaided by any con-
sciOus action of my own. I then said
aloud, We'll, l wonder why David
wants me to go out of the countryF

over and over again, and my friends
urged me to give heed to the warning 1

UP the idea of crossing the Zambezi.
