BY MAUD WALKER.

-LTHOUGH 1t was warm weather
 in the United States, for 1t was during the early days of sum-
 mer, 1t was still very cold away
 up in the region round about Hudson Bay. And if the little children of the U. s. A. had walked up suddenly in the morning and found themselves in that part of Canada they would have shivered and crawled back between the warm blankets of their beds, declaring 1t too frosty for them to venture out of doors.
 But 1t was not so with little Brown Bruin, dear, chubby boy bear, who had lived all his life in that part of the world and knew nothing else. and who. there fore, loved the cold such as is to be ex- perienced in the northern part of the great continent of North America. And on the morning of which l write he was out early, hunting for-well, 1t is hard to say just what he was hunting for, as he did not seem to know exactly what he wanted, unless it was adventure. And he soon found that. He had found a nice tree to climb, and being an active fellow and fond of outdoor sports (for all to go up the body of the tree as sprightly boughs and was sitting looking out over his part of the world, wondering. possi- bly, why there was so little excitement thereabouts, for no living creature did he see, only part of deep forest and great

as they went down stairs, and at the foot of the steps he crept into the cor ner, where he would be behind the door when 1t was opened. Tom stopped and peeped through the keyhole just as the voice outside was again raised in ac- compartment to a loud knocking.
 "Oh. it's Pa and Ma," said Tom. Then he stood his gun against the wall and proceeded to open the door to admit his parents. As soon as MT. and Mrs. Todd got entrance to their house they saw their three hopeful offspring armed to the teeth, so to speak, and when they learned of the childten's fright and of their brave determination to hold the fort" they laughed till their sides ached.
 But what brought you home so soon r asked Mabel, as soon as the excitement attending their untimely arrival was over and they were all seated in the parents room.
 "why, what do you thinki" said Mrs. Todd, laughing. When we reached your Uncle Johns house we found the family packed up and gone to pay your Grandmother Jones a visit. As there was no use in our remaining over night we could have done so, for the work hands and cook were there-we decided to return home at once, to make the trip by moonlight. Well, we knocked, called, beat on the doors, tried raising the windows in the sitting room all in vain. It seemed we never would be able to wake you; and to think that you were up and arming yourselves dur ing most of the timel" And Mrs. Todd had to laugh again.

bite to eat Oh, how cold the ice was under his feetl And how starved he was, tool
 Pretty soon Brown Bruin saw that the piece of earth he was on was moving, and very rapidly. Ah, he was on an ice berg and did not know 1t. And, stranger still, the iceberg was just from the North Pole, had just been melted from that spot when Brown Bruin fell to its surface.
 Then Bruins travels began again. Oh, when would he ever get anything to eat! Surely he would have starved had not he been a bear and used to going with out food for six months at time; but that was always in the winter. and this was the summer, and time for him to eat. But as he couldn't find food he must be content without 1t. So he sat on the side of the iceberg, wondering what would be his next adventure.
 After sometime spent in travelling in this fashion Brown Bruin awoke one morning to see a strange-looking thing on the deep, blue water, coming right toward him. And to his joy he felt that
  for the time being. The iceberg had become fast among several other ice bergs, and could not get through the channel till the obstacles of ice should move on with 1t.
 Then Brown Bruin saw some men Che had seen such creatures many, many times before) come from the object which lay on the deep, blue water. (This ob- ject was whaler and had gotten farther north than was usual with boats of that kind, but the captain was bit of an explorer as well as fisherman and liked getting far into the northern seas in summer) And then something strange happened. Instead of running away from tho men who had landed on the icebergs from tho whaler Bruin stood his ground, looking them in the face questioningly.
 "Ah, brown cub in this part of the worldr" cried the captain of the whaler. "Now, did you ever geo anything like thatf Geei We must take him back with us. He must be new species of Northern bear never before seen by ex- plorers in these parts. But-on my life he looks just like Northern Canadian bear. Wonder how he ever came herei''
 Then the captain and several of his crew proceeded to surround Bruin and pretty soon he was their captive. but did not feel unhappy in being so, for they fed him and used him kindly. Then, after he had become well acquainted with both boat and men he had very jolly time, indeed, and was named North Pole, for somehow the men believed he had drifted down from that very spot on the top of the world. And North Pole became the pet and the mascot of the whalers, and when they returned to the United States they had many stories to tell of the lit tie brown bear they had found on an iceberg. Had the men only explored the opposite side of the Iceberg from where they found Brown Bruin they would have solved the mystery of Bruins being there, for there on the Ice, in frozen mass, lay the balloon with a bursted gas bag But doubtless no one ever found tlint old balloon and It's former owners are perhaps wondering to this day what ever became of it, probably supposing il - to be at the bottom of the northern seas.
