instructions Of J. P. Evers, who finally
pulled her ashore. She kept her senses
despite the excited shouts of men and

Myrtle was returning from school
with Harold Eester, her neighbor and
little sweetheart. AS they passed the
lake, covered with ice, Myrtle could
not resist the temptation to demon

the center Of the pond. Her weight
fell on the ice directly over a deep
well, around which the lake was
created, the fresh waters Of which had
partially melted through, and she went
down.
She called to her companion for
help, but he was dumbfounded. The
lake is close to the store of Mr.. Everg,

the scene with two lengths Of common

chat he would spring upon her ll She
did not keep quiet
Well what ann I to do?" whispered
the poor eirl trembling with teror
Finally she decided TO walk slowly
along The path. thinking chat she
might induce the bear TO follow her
home
After going a short distance she
came to a pile of logs and brush,
which she soon discovered was Mis-
per's lair The bear now appeared
pleased. He walked about the place
shifting, and he finally came and laid
down at Maggie's feet
During the whole Of the long night
the bear laid and watched the terror
stricken girl. The slightest movement
attracted his attention and he would
raise his head and look at her. Miss
Gaines people thought She had re-
mained over night with the neighbo
she had visited and she was not
missed until next morning.
When it became known that the
girl was missing the whole neighbor-
hood was aroused and soon the woods
were full Of people searching for
her 1t did not take long to locate
her but the bear heard voices and
the barking of dogs and he got very
angry Bristling with rage he ran
about the girl growing and gnashing
his teeth.
Maggie fully realized her peril, and
when she saw her friends she called
TO them, warning them not to come
nearer. She explained the situation
and her friends concluded to shoot
Mr. Niger from where they stood.
Aiming well, three fired together, and
Niger rolled lifeless at his cap

BRAIN POWER
Increased By Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work. but reared a
family. found in Grape-Nuts the ideal
food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes:-
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer Of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
Unable to eat breakfast felt faint
later, and would 90 to the pantry and
eat cold chops. sausage, cookies, dough-
nuts or anything I happened to find.
Being a writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
When I read Of GrapeNuts I began
eating It every morning. also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
FAY as a little pig good natured and
e0ntented.
Within a week / had plenty Of
breast milk, and felt stronger within
two weeks. I wrote evenings and
feeling the need Of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer Of
Grape-Nuts with milk instead Of my
usual indigestihle hot pudding, pie, or
cake for dessert at night.
"Grape-Nuts did wonders for me
and learned to like it. did not mind
my housework or mothers cares, for
I felt strong and full Of go I grew

Lamb and Mutton.

An experienced housewife declares
that both lamb and mutton should be
more carefully prepared than the 9th.
er meats First, the loose fat which
comes wrapped around such a roast
should be removed, washed carefully
in salty water and set to work in
dish Of cold water into which very
little bicarbonate Of soda has been put.
Then the roast proper instead Of
being washed or wiped, as usual,
should be thoroughly scraped with
sharp knife until every bit of skin
has been removed, without, however.
cutting away any Of the fat, and next
the meat should be freely rubbed with
salt After this, the loose fat which
has meanwhile been soaking, should
be wiped quite dry and fastened
around the roast with long skewers.
Finally, this outer layer should be
rubbed over with salt and at last the
roast Of lamb or mutton is ready for
the pan.

bear that she had raised from a small
cub. She called the bear Niger, and
he would answer to his name and
come running the moment his mis-
tress commanded him.
Niger was very intelligent and for
a long time he was as playful as { hit
ten and regarded as perfectly harm
less. AS he grew older he began to
show considerable temper and he
often got SO angry that he looked dan
gerous and his mistress would con
slider it prudent to chain him to a tree
for awhile-at least until be got in
good humW. He never tried to harm
Miss Caime and nothing pleased him
better than to follow her from place
to place She alone fed him and he
appeared devotedly attached to her
Finally he began to show that he
disliked all the other members of the
family In the absence of Miss Mag
gle he would sulk and refuse to eat.
Niggers ugly traits grew so pro
noumced that Maggie's brothers talked
about killing him. One day he
scratched one Of the boys and tried 10
break his chain. The boy was angry
and ran and got a gun. Maggie bare
u prevented him from ending Mig
gers career.

turned to one side he listened to the
threats made against him. Il believe
he knows what you are saying broth

Niger evidently understood the sit.
nation, for he sulked all the evening.
and that night he broke his chain and
disappeared. No trace Of him could
be found
Months passed and Niger was suu
lost bear
A few evenings ago Miss Caime was
returning from a visit to a neighbor
II was nearly sunset and the girl was
hurrying along a lonely path through
4 forest only a short distance from
her home when she suddenly encoun-
tered Niger. He was standing in the
path directly in front of her. He had
evidently waylaid his mistress and he
did not show himself until she was
close to him. Maggies heart futtered
a little. more from surprise than fear.
She recognized the bear when she
called his name and he grinned with
satisfaction.
Maggie went toward him holding
out her hands He sat on his launches
in the path and would not move.
When the girl attempted to pass he
instantly got in front OF her Finally
he showed signs Of anger, and when
she tried to pass he growled and
raised his paw In vain she tried to
pet him. He continued to bar the
path. Finally Maggie concluded to re-
turn to the house she had visited.
Niger trotted along behind her un-
til she came to where the path
forked Again the bear threw himself
IN front Of her. The girl now began
to be alarmed Finding that Niger
would not let her follow the path
that led to the house of the neighbor
Maggie fed along the other path, hop
ing soon to turn toward home.
The bear did not intend that she
should have her own way. He fol
lowed close, and whenever she tried
to leave the path he would throw him
self in front of her and growl. Maggie
was now badly frightened and began
to shout for help. This angered the
bear and he began to growl and gnash
his teeth. She became convinced
