loaf of bread and rnasticated 1t.
"Oh, eat up the tin plates and the
knives and forks ard the tin spoons,
sarcasticaiiy Sam invited the bear.

old man. won't you make fine bear
steaks, and all the better just because

Such biggish and lazy bear,too.
Instead of going to the creek near by

table. He asa not make out so we'll
with this as he had with the stew
pot The bucket tipped over on his
nose and the water ran out. Bruin was
puzzled when this happened and
scratched at the tin bucket as if he
thought the water had gone inside of
the tin and could be scratched out by
him.
Before he had concluded his antics
in this direction he stepped on the
bucket and aattened 1t out as easily
as IL It had been made of cardboard.
While he ives doing this Sam saw a
chance to slim up tree, which he
did. Then he began to shout for his
father.
This was something that the bear

must have Jared on his nerves. He
growled. walked on his hind feet to
the tree where Sam was and tried to
push the tree over. The tree was
stout and die. not shake to any extent
and Sam was safe there. but oh! how
angry now that he knew the breakfast
was all spoiled, and he was hungry
and knew that Dad would come home
half-famished from the morning OF
whipping up the creek for trout.
There is no pig harder to suit than
a bear. All hunters Will bear me out
in this statement. Sam groaned as he
saw the bear 60 to the tent and, a
few seconds later. watched the brute
wallowing in the contents of the flour
sacks and tearing fine ham to sfreds
AT the same time sack OF crackers
was mashed into pulp by the bears

"Hallo-o,o-o--' came from the di-
rection of the trout stream.
Halo, Dad" shouted sam in return

has eaten up everything here except
me. Get wise"

Then bright idea came to Sam. He

HOW THE BEAR GOT BRE.A

had worn off a little at the loss of his
breakfast, was almost ready TO laugh
at the queer antics of the bear.
First the bear went boldly toward
the iron pot, and not knowing any too
much about camp fires, stepped upon
some smoldering embers of the camp
fire beneatt the pot. That made him
growl a little, and for a few seconds
he looked as if he might attack Sam,
suspecting this to be some trick that
Sam had played Oh him.
Wheh he got over this trouble, lick
ing his paws and nursing them ss it
they were sick babies, the bear
edged along the fire, and with his
thick snout deliberately tossed the
cover off the pot, and it rolled away,
down u grade, toward the creek,
through the grass. Then such a body
of steam and heat came up from the
pot that the bear was afraid. and,
backing off. sat on his launches and
looked at. the pot comically and then
at Sam. and then back at the pot, re-
peating this several times.
well, hasn't that bear got nerve?''
asked Sam half aloud. II really be-
licve he is inviting me to capsize the
pot for him so that nc can eat up all
that is left of the stew. Geewhillikens.
But, tAis is hard luck, after packing
those potatoes and crackers over the
grade on my back. l wonder IL / can
get my gun now.
The bear said mo" to the last
proposition, without any doubt for, as
Sam moved in the direction of the
tent the bear growled in very savage
and business-lixe way, and Sam had
to pull back again, when the bear
seemed to pay no further attention to
him.
Il suppose I might go after dad.
said Sam TO himself; vonly the bear Is
In the way and IL / 20 around dad
might miss me and come on and get III
a fight with the bear almost before he
knew that such a beast was within
miles of the camp"
OF course the bear had never heard
of football or seen a game of that de-
lightful and manly sport, but he had
due sense to know that IL he could rusl
the stew pot he might at least upse
it. The smell of the stew and th,
memory of how 1t tasted was toe

This mood did not last long. Brull

had steadily drawn nearer. Now, as
Sam looked at the conner, with eyes
propped wide open in establishment,
he saw that not dad" but a big brown
bear, fat fellow. had come over
the trail and was evidently calculating
TO feed at the camp.
Sans gun was twenty feet away. in
the tent When he started to go to the
tent the bear, as IL suspecting mischief,
waddled toward the same place and
faced Sam, who had to retreat.
Then Sam thought of all the hunting
stories he had ever heard. Old Daniel
Boone, when he came to a bear that
knocked the gun out of his hands, so
Sam had read, fell to and attacked the
besr-not grizzly. though-with his
Keen edged hunting knife and fought
to such good advantage that he came
off first best with the bear.
Then there was Davy Crockett, the
same one TO whom the coon is reported
TO have said, when Davy saw his COON
ship in tree-"if that is you. Davy, l
will come right down. But Sam Cur
lew did not have even jack-knife in
his belt. He had whitfield out some
plugs to stop few holes in a lcaky pot
this morning. and his knife lay, sur
rounded with whittlings. on log forty
feet away and in the direction of the
bear. He was without any weapon un-
less the soup ladle and the pot of hot
stew could be called weapons.
About the time Sam found out these
few but important facts to his own
complete satisfaction the bear, too,
had made up his mind about the situa-
tion, and gruntling lazily like pig
more than like bear, deliberately
went to the table and shifted the two
plates OF stew that smoked there.
The steam was too much for the bear
for a few seconds. Then he got used
10 the heat, and the way he slowed
the stew away under his ragged jacket
of fur was truly swift. The two
hcaped- up plates OF breakfast were
evidently reiished; meat, potatoes.
gravy and all the odds and ends OF
bread and crackers that went along
with his unexpected morning feast.
..Geew said Sam to himself The
bear isn't cross or anything, but l
see my finish to starve IL he keeps
UP this gait at eating and goes for the
iron pot. I wonder where dad is any
how?'
The bear was alive 70 the fact
that the pot held gallons of stew;
enough ordinarily for half a dozen men
for a full day, but none too much for
him TO stow away at one sitting under
his capacious skin, But how TO get the
stew out OF the pot? That was puzzle
for the bear. and Sam. when his anger

Then Patty thought a minute and
said: 81 believe l have been brought
here to see whether I viii do anything
for my neighbors. If I don't, then l
am no good either"
Patty's steps then led her UP a splen-
did flight of marble stairs to the grand
doors of the palace. Her feet made no
noise and no echo followed her as she
passed through great rooms, from the
ceilings of which hung lamps of gold,
and in the walls of which glittered
Jewels that were worth vast treasures.
On a throne sat King, with his shin
ing golden crown on his head, and
around the throne were men and women
in splendid velvets and costly gems
all motionless-all stilled there as they
had tried to win the favor of the King
for their own purposes.
The eyes of the King and his cour-
tiers and the grand ladies of his court
rested stonily on Patty and made her
nervous. The close and sitting air
of the grand palace drove her out to

cts and It was stout and stm stuff, so
that, as he said. he could make a loop in
the end and see what will see"
Was he going to snare the bear
with ball OF string? OH no, moth
Ing SO foolish. The tree on which he
had roasted had wide and far-reaching
liuibs. BY using care Sam figured out
that he could crawl along one limb,
swing himself to another tree by doing
q sort of flying stunt through the
air, just as he had in schocl-circus
in San Francisco one time, and then,
did not fall down for the bear. he
could get right above the tent, which
the bear had tipped over.
Perhaps" said Sam, aloud, "if ] get
there I will be able to snare my loaded
rife. Then look out. Mister Bear, for
yourself"
The truth Is that Sam suddenly had
a desire to distinguish himself by
shooting the bear before his dad could
get along to the camp.
'I know he said. with a sense of
grim humor, that Dad will like bear
steaks favored with stew and pota-
toes and blackberries.
Such a lot OF patience. The loop
went over the gun and slipped off, and
the gun. then some feet in the air, fell
back Luckily it did not go of. The
bear showed very little curiosity about
this proceeding.
Finally. after score of failures, Sam
got the rife up in the tree. Then he
waited and watched for bruin to make
a good target of his big body. And.
when that chance came, Sam hit the
target fairly,

started to limp away from the camp
to place of safety. Sam. overcome
by excitement. dropped from the tree
and took all the chances.
The second discharge of the rifle was
followed by loud shout. and Sam.

The Ifincess saw Patty and made no
sign, acting just as all the others had
in this strange country. Patty wolild
have spoken to the Princess then, but
something within her said that the
time had not come to speak.
Patty went from the palace and some
distance away saw where men with
knotted muscles had been working in
the fields at hard labor; toiling in the
mines underground. shaving in shops
and factories, where women and little
children, with pain in their faces, had
struggled hard to get scanty pay to
keep them alive, growing thin and old
in feelings and unhappy. They too
were still-froxen into silence by the
weird charm that was on all the land.
Then Patty's tears overnowed for
the first time. She placed her hands

q AN CURLEW and his father were
camping up in Shasta County, Cali
fornia. last summer Sam is a very
good cook ard his father is great
fisherman, and that is how this hap
pening came about. Early one morn

from the Curlew camp on the McCloud
River. sam got up a great breakfast.
In a big, iron pot that hung over
some cracking twigs stew was bub-
bling, deer's meat and potatoes and SO

a dyspeptic have an appetite.
On the table, a rough board affair,
were half dozen large ears OF green
corn that Sam got the day before
when he went to town after the mail,
and these were steaming hot With a
ladle sam, hearing some one coming
along the trail from up the creek,
