He was staying in a small country
village lately and on the local half

cricket club play on the green. After

the star Of human destiny hung CULVER

As our family does not care for

ter to the Modern Priscilla. After

of thick cream, to which little more
than half teaspoonful of soda. has
been added lit will require about
four rounding tablespoonfuls of flour
for the batter), then roll in fine
cracker or bread crumbs (the latter
preferred). Have ready a gOod-siz-
ed baking pan. in which place the
chicken in plenty of hot fat, season
and cook in a slow oven at least one
hour, longer il the chicken is large.
When done each piece should be
coated with a delicious crisp brown
crust, adding to its size. Few cooks
know that the rib, II broken next to
the back, may be easily removed with
the fingers. thus making a fairly good
piece OF chicken. The fat not used
in the gravy is superior to butter for
seasoning vegetables. Pork chops
cooked in this way are much better
than when fried.

the hut too low. and, settling itseli
upon its launches, aimed heavy
blow with It's paw at Silvester's
head. He ducked, but ere he had
time to recover himself the bear
struck again.
Sylvester knew he could not es-
cape, but he thought that IL he
could avoid the bear for a few min
utes Matty might be able to help
him.
Quick as thought he seized the
blankets from his bunk and held
them up between his body and that
of the bear The brute struck out
again, but the blanket yielded, the
beast stumbled and Sylvester dodg-
ed. The ruse was successful. Every
time the bear aimed a blow at him
Sylvester was able to avoid it. This,
however, could not last long, for the
man was becoming exhausted.
Again the bear struck at him, this
time with so much force that when
Silvester's blanket yielded the bear
pitched heavily forward, and. strik-
ing the stove, upset it, causing the
stovepipe to fall with a crash to the
floor.
All this had happened in a few
moments, and, needless to say, Mat
ty was a horror stricken spectator
Of the scene. His was an awkward
plight. He had but one shot, which
had put into his rifle in the
morning, and he knelt in his bunk
ready TO fire. With only one shot,
however, he knew that if he fired
md merely wounded the bear the
)ain would goad the brute to mad
ness. He knew, also, that if he fir
ed at all he was as likely to hit his
companion as he was to hit the bear.
He scarce knew what to do. but still
he held his gun ready for use at the
'irst opening.
For heavens sake, help mel"
shrieked Sylvester.
80 l will, but keep the beast off
l Bit" answered Matty.
The unequal fight went on, the
bear growing more angry every mo-
nent, Sylvester becoming weaker and
more exhausted.
Presently he was driven into a
corner from which he could not es-
:ape, while the grizzly aimed blow
lfter blow at the yielding blanket
behind which his prey crouched.
Here goes, I'm shootin'!" yelled
Natty, in desperation.

For some months prior to the incl
dent around which this story centers,
/ Thornton Creek, small mining set
Element on the Yukon river, had been
somewhat alarmed by the presence in
the vicinity of an unusually large
number of griggly bears. Not con-
tent with making depredations upon
the food of the camp, they also shown
disposition TO modest the miners
themselves.
The presence of the ordinary black
bear does not cause much alarm to
any one who is accustomed to life in
those wild parts, but the grizzly bear
is a beast calculated to strike terror
into the stoutest hearts. Indeed so
great was the alarm at Thornton
Creek that all dwellers in that district
had been strongly advised not to ven
and a goodly supply of ammunition.
Some months passed by, however
without any unusual incident, and the
miners began to lessen their vigilance
believing that the unwelcome brute
had moved away from the neighbor-
hood of the settlement.
1t happened that one day in the late
autumn James Sylvester and his mate,
Matty Davis had occasion to journey
to the town of B-for provisions.
B-was the nearest town of any
description, being some fifteen miles
away from the Creek, and the two
settlements were connected by a
rough path cut through the bush.
The journey was accomplished with
out incident, and shortly after noon
they started on their return to Thorn

Bear Opened Provisions.

A closer examination showed that
the bear had not taken much away,
but had contented itself with smash
ing open the cases of provisions and
barrels of meat and flour, and with
generally reducing both the inside
and the exterior of the cabin to a
state of confusion.
The log hut occupied by the two
gold diggers was i'm every respect SIM
liar to the usual woodlands hut.
Each wall was built of the rough
hewn trunk of trees placed one on
the other. and the hut consisted of
four such ~ and roof made of
brushwood and tar paper. 1t was of
course built without any foundation,
and measured about ten feet square.
The window was put in on the side
facing the door. and on another wall
two hunks had been built one above
the other. The remaining wall sup
ported table and some shelves.
That is all that need be said about
the interior of the hut, except, per-
haps that near one corner a small
iron stove was placed, the stack pipe
passing through the roof.
When the winters are very severe
it is often the custom of the dwell
ers in these log camps to earth them
upon the outside to make them warm
before the winter sets in. This Sill
vester and Matty proceeded to do on
their return from b. They earthed
the place up very carefully about
three or four feet, bringing the earth
up TO the window sill, for which
point II gradually sloped away to the
ground.
Having completed their task they
prepared supper and shortly after
turned into bed for the night. Sill
vester slept in the lower bunk. with
his head toward the window, and Mat
ty slept above. Matty was soon fast
asleep. Sylvester, after a short read
and smoke, fell inc the heavy slum-
