But these efforts lacked novelty and
when Bert made his first trip TO New
York on the fall excursion he kept an
eve open for ideas. He was in par.

afternoon when he stopped in front of
Broadway shop where tempting
array OF cameras. sporting goods and
monographs were exhibited Within.
salesman was explaining the work
ings of a talking machine TO n pros
pectiye customer. At that moment
the longed.for idea flashed into Bert's
mind.
Il don't suppose we've got one o
them contrivances that'n hoot like an

salesman

sasped the astonished clerk. but
we've got a fine record OF a bears

"Sho. ye don't say" exclaimed Bert
manifesting great delight. Now. come

salesman. THE company sent a man

got a fine record OF disappointed she

maybe you'll recognize some OF the

Bert fairly quivered from sheer de-
light when, a moment later, the wax
cylinder began to revolve and fierce
wailings came belching through the
funnel of the machine. 1t was the
most realistic thing in the way OF
making bear calls he had ever heard
outside the forest at home, and when
the instrument had been explained to
him he paid the price and lugged the
precious burden to his lodging house,
