Girl kidnapped by a Bear.
Pet Who Had Heard Call Of the Wild Takes Former Mistress to

The strange story that Miss Maggie
Calme of Iarilla county, Tex, and her
friends have to tell concerning the con-
duct of Il black bear will tax the Gre
dulity Of those who are not familiar
with the humanlile intelligence often
displayed by bruln.
Miss Caime has always been very
fond of pets, and for q long time she
was passlonately attached to n fine
black bear that she had raised from n
small cub. She called the bear Niger,
and he would answer to his name and
come running the moment his mistress
commanded him.
Niger was very intelligent, and for
n long time he was as playful as a kit
ten and regarded as perfectly harm
less. AS he grew older he began to
show considerable temper, and he Of
ten got so angry that he looked dan
gcrous, and his mistress would con
slider it prudent to chain him to a tree
for awhile-at least until he got in n
good humor. He never tried to harm

PENDING the boat with oars, we kept
clear of the st. Cuthberts sides while
they lowered Captain Lewis down
TO us.
"Joubert was placed beside the cap

ter and they were quickly drenched.
Luckily 1t was not severely cold only
1 degrees below freezing. Others OF
the st. Cuthberts company came down
lines or jumped overheard to be hauled
into the boat till we had seventeen, a
very heavy load for so small craft.
1t was long row back to the Cymrlc,

but three months passed and there
came no sign from the Hargises. Law
yer Marcum got careless.
One day he stood talking with an
other man In the courthouse doorway.
Hargis looked across the street from
his store and saw him. With the judge
was Sheriff Callahan.
"Go git gun, Ed" said the judge.
There's goin' to be somethin' doln',
reckon"
| At that instant somebody inside the
courthouse fired, and Lawyer Marcum
fell dead. Sheriff Callahan ran across
the street, closed and locked all the
courthouse doors and admitted not n
soul all that day. The same night the
assassin was smuggled out. But three
men had seen him. He was Curt Jett.
who had SO obllgingly slain DIR. Cox
as he lay moaning on the ground.
The killing of Marcum made stir
even In Jackson, and Jim Cockrill,
on the opposite side of the fence
from the Harglses, was heard to say
he reckoned he'd have to take steps.
1t wasn't more than few days later
that Curt Jett walked into the hotel
dining room where Cockrill was sitting
and opened fire ON him. Cockrill jump
cd up. and Jett fed. Fighting In the
open was new game to him. Two
days later came clear, sunny day.
Cockrill, walking down Main street,
crossed the street In front of the court
house. AS he did so Curt Jett leaned
out of an upper window and shot him
down with Winchester rife. So well
known were the circumstances and so
general the expectation of trouble that
the moment Jett showed himself at the
window several voices called to Cock
rill to look ont. hut they were too
late. Cockrill fell dying.
| Jett leaned out Of the window and
pumped few more bullets into the
body IN the street.
II want to see him squirmg' he
shouted. Cockrlll accordingly squlrm-
ed for few seconds before he died.
Every soul In Jackson knew all about
what happened. 1t was as public as q
dog fight. Yet not move was made
to arrest Curt Jett until after troops
had arrived. Indeed, young lawyer
who told a visiting newspaper man
what he had seen begged the reporter
to give him time to get out Of town
before he printed a story about 1t. Hc
| got out of town, too, ana stayed ont.
There wasn't any trouble In Jackson
SO long as the troops stayed. HargIs
had given the word, and his word was
law. Jett was convicted Of the mur-
der Of Marcum and IL serving life
sentence. HargIs never was punished
for any one of the many murders Of
which he was guilty.

HE GRowLED AND RAISED HIS PAW.

Miss Calme. and nothing pleased him
better than to follow her from place to
place. She alone fed him, and he ap-
peared devotedly attached to her.
Finally he began to show that he dis
liked all the other members of the
family. In the absence of Miss Maggie
he would sulk and refuse to eat Mig
gers ugly traits grew so pronounced
that Maggle's brothers talked about
killing him. One day he scratched one
OF the boys and tried to break his
chain. The boy was angry and ran
and got gun. Maggie barely prevent

turned to one side he listened to the
threats made against him. II believe

"Well I'll kill him yet" said the boy.
Niger evidently understood the situ-
alton, for he sulxed all the evening.
and that night he broke his chain and
disappeared. No trace of him could be
found.
Months passed, and Niger was still

A few evenings ago Miss Caime was
returning from visit to neighbor.
1t was nearly sunset. and the girl was
hurrying along lonely path through
forest only short distance from her
home when she suddenly encountered
Niger. He was standing In the path
directly In front Of her He had evi-
IDENTITY waylaid his mistress, and he did
not show himself until she was close
TO him. Maggie's heart fiuttered lit
tie. more from surprise than fear. She
recognized the bear. and when she
called his name he grinned with salts

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
