She was rescued by rope thrown

ing the time. which to her seemed In,
terminable. she followed minutely the
instructions of J.. p. Evers. who finally
pulled her ashore. She kept her senses
despite the excited shouts of men and
screams of women ashore.
Myrtle was returning from school

not resist the temptation to demon

fully she could glide over the smooth
surface. Laughingly, she slid out to-
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.. Evers,
who heard her cries and hastened to
the scene with two lengths of common
clothesline. When he saw her pre-
dicament he told her to keep quiet

Finally she decided to walk slowly
along the path, thinking that 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 Mig
per's lair. The bear now appeared
pleased. He walked about the place
smiling, 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

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

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 a kit

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 1t prudent to chain him to tree
for awhile-at least until he got in n
good humor. 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.
Nigger's ugly traits grew so pro-
nounced that Maggie's brothers talked
about killing him. One day he

boy.
Niger evidently understood the sit

and that night he broke his chain and
disappeared. No trace of him could
be found
Months passed and Niger was still
a lost bear.
A few evenings ago Miss Caime was
returning from visit to neighbor
1t was nearly sunset and the girl was
hurrying along a lonely path through
a 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. Maggie's heart futtered
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-

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

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
