Suddenly he gave growl OF delight.
for, sitting on stile.he espied tooth
some little lady, who was evidently
aw aiting the coming of young man.
Bruin did not stop to ponder upoh
mis- good-fortune; he seized her in
mighty hug. For a while she said
nothing; but as he exerted more OF his
tremendous strength she murmured:
81 don't think you are quite so
strong as you were, Gerald"
Then once more melancholy settled
upon Bruin. He had done his best;
but the young ladies' OF this country
were beyond him.
With a roar Of despair he retraced
his steps to the menagerie. and gave
