BY HELENA DAVIS.

Old Mother Bruno (who was great brown beaD was obliged to go from home for the day and called her two little ones, Son Bruno and Daughter Bruno, to her side to give them certain instructions as to their conduct during her absence. She had never left them for whole day, and on this occasion she felt some uneasiness AS to their safety without a mothers watchful care.
 Now, my little cubs," said Mother Bruno, putting caressing paw on each little brown head, q must go away from our house for the day. Indeed I fear the sun will be gone from sight, and old Darkness, that horrid old beast, will be king of the woods when 1 return. So, I want you two dears to listen to your mother and obey her instructions to the letter"
 ''Yes, mamma" said Son and Daughter in one voice. We will listen and obey"
 'Well, my dumplings, I want you to re- main right In our own yard. and don't allow any stranger to enter. If one knocks at the gate do not respond. All our friends call out their names when they come to our gate. If one knocks without first calling out his or her name and business you must not make sound, but sit in the hollow of the big tree and wait till the stranger Is gone. Some evil bear, seeing me depart, might come to rob us. So, l leave you in charge of the house and yard. Our fence is so high and firm that no outsider could get entrance save through the gate, which I instruct you to keep barred"
 But if one of the neighbors calls" said Son Bruno, shall not we invite him in and open the gate?'
 Yes, certainly" said Mother Bruno. But you must make sure first that 1t is a neighbor, or the child of nelghbor. You must run no risks, for by hook or crook thief might get inside the fence and oyerpower you both and help himself to our fine new spring clothes. So be on your guard and know to whom you open the gate"
 'Yes, mamma, we will" promised Son and Daughter, kissing their good mother on the nose as she bid them good-by.
 Soon after their mothers departure Son and Daughter Bruno went into the big, fenced yard to play at wrestling. As they tumbled and tossed each other about on the soft spring grass their sport was stopped by sudden and emphatic knock on the big gate.
 Son and Daughter sat up and listened intently, expecting to hear the familiar voice of some neighbor or playmate, but the knocking was repeated without so much as a grunt from the bear asking admittance. Son and Daughter kept very quiet, not daring to call out. Then, Son remembering that there was little crack in one of the fence boards near to the gate through which a glimpse could be got of one standing outside the gate, he decided to gently creep to the spot and steel peep at the bear, or other animal, seeking to come in.

net just as though we had never been warned. Oh, oh What shall we do?"
 "Go and lock the front gate as 1t should be-" said well-known voice. And Son and Daughter looked up to behold their mother In the doorway. And here are my comb, my bracelets and the family silver" As she said this she poured the valuables fom her pocket into the open trunk. Now, shall tell you how I hap pened to have these things. After I left you this morning I feared that something unpleasant might happen here, so l sent my old friend, the actor-bear, to you to see just how well you would obey me and remember the warning 1 had given you We'll he came in the disguise of a big black bear. You know the rest. Aside from your losing your luncheon I believe there is nothing gone from the house. But it is not through your obedience or watch fitness that 1t is so. Now, do you think you have learned a lesson, my disobedienf ones?"
 "Yes, mamma" wept both cubs, throw ing their arms about their old mothers neck. And never again will any stranger get admittance to our house while you are absent. And now, may we have some luncheon, please f''
