The Hungry Bear.

Once long time ago, when
grandpa was little boy, and they
lived in new country, his faith
er had gone to town many miles a.
way, to get things to eat and cloth
to make clothes for the children
to wear.
Their house was made OF logs
and was all in one room. They
mad no door yet but blankets were
hung up and served for a door,
Tommy, Chat was grandpa) and
.Tommy's baby sister, Lucy, We're
left alone while Mr.. Lee was gone,
but they were not afraid, for the
indians around them We're friends
Mrs. Lee and Tonmy were busy
nearly all day getting in plenty OF
wood. They did the chores early
and had everything snug for the
night before the sun was out OF
sight.
Mrs. Lee was getting their supper
| and Tommy was holding baby Lucy
when they heard noise at the
door, and looking around they saw
a big black bear poke her head
N between the heavy blankets
that served as door.
Mrs. Lee lifted her apron and
shaking it at the bear ran toward
the door crying wool, wool.
Tommy screamed, which scared
Daby Lucy and she screamed too.
The bear backed out but Mrs Lee
knew she would be back again,
she helped Tommy climb the
ladder up into the loft. Then she
carried baby Lucy and climbed up
herself.
She pulled the ladder up and
laid it across the hole; then they
| sat down and waited
1t was not more than a minute
or two before the bear came a.
gain, followed by two little cubs.
She began to nose around and
| found pan OF milk on the table.
This she upset and the cubs lick
ed it up.
Then the mother bear went to
the fireplace and smelled of the
stew which was cooking for theil
/ supper. She did not like the fire
put the stew smelled SO good that
| she determined to eat it, She polk
ed her nose in the kettle and
took mouthl,l.
OF course it burned her mouth
and she sat down and howled as
she tried to paw it out.
Tommy laughed aloud as he
watched her and looking up she
saw them through the cracks, fol-
the floor of the loft was just
loose logs and some places they
were far enough apart for them to
fall through.
When she saw them she raised
herself on her hind feet and be-
gun to paw at the lgos above
Mrs. Lee had armed herself with
a long pole and poked the bear on
the nose with it.
Tommy scrambled away out of
her reach and lost his footing
falling through to the floor be-
low.
The mother bear turned and was
about to go for him, but Mrs. Lee
| poked one of her cubs with the
pole pinning him to the floor.
| The little fellow began to howl

And ere the day was over
There came one present more.

Whatever it could be.

Hernandez and his two companions

Above him in the swaying branches

wigwagged his signals toward the Al.

for the Albany wigwagged in return.
She was doing more-she was sending
off her fastest launch shoreward,

marines who knew their business.
Below Hernandez smiled diabolical
smile. He was watching not Neal,
but the swaying of the tree.
Look" he said to Ponto, "see how
these roots tug at this scant earthen
covering. She is a tree growing on a
rock. She totters. And she is more
than a tree growing on rock-she
grows on the edge of cliff. Beast,
come here. Tell him, Ponto, what to
do"
Ponto told him, emphasizing his
commands with the ever.ready whip.
The brute obeyed. He set his shout

frenzy of excitement. ION, on"

These" said Inez, with a wave OF
her hand, ARE Dolores regulars who

Americans, and one of us is sick. 1t

He strobe swiftly to the side of Mrs.
Hardin. She was swaying helplessly
from side to side in the saddle of her
donkey, supported by two insurrecto
escorts.

He stopped. A shower of dirt and

The officer looked up. Above him

ducked, for there was another shower

A quarter of mile away on the
top OF a jagged rock that thrust it's

there crouched a native scout. He
watched a cruiser slowly steaming
up the coast He watched the shore
and the trails leading from the shore.
Suddenly he started--he had seen
something ominous. He chung to his
perch for one instant peering down to
make quite certain. Then he scram-

leaped, staggered through the brush.
He reached the insurrectos camp
and clutched his leaders arm.
"Americanos, captain, he painted
breathlessly. They come"
From whence?" queried the leader.
The insurrecto scout indicated the
direction. Fear spread itself over the
of the leader.

OF the cliff and joined them in the
double quick toward the Aztec strong
mold. They reached the clearing. The
gates of the walled city were open and
the walls bristled with armored Aztec
warriors. The marines fixed their bay
onets and made ready for charge.
Suddenly, however, Neal held up his
hands. Listen" he exclaimed. From
the unseen waters beyond there was
the boom of gun.
It's my gum" said Neal. Il know

His squad halted. 1t was we'll they
did. Through the open gate they
could see the sun gods demoniacal
countenance twisting and mounting in
the red glare of the affairs flames.
Across the strip of jungle they could
hear the boom-boom of the gun.
Neal slapped his thigh with joy.
He's got the range already, boys" he
cried. Wait Look-look-look."
With mighty shout of triumph the
marines leaped into the air yelling like
demons themselves. They had good
cause, for the gunner on the Albany
had more than found the range-he
had planted an exploding shell in the
very middle of the sun god-and the
sun god and his temple, amid shrieks
from hundred throats-burst into
thousand pieces-and disappeared.

Corazon del Sol,

After a march of hours in the very
thickest of the Jungle, Hernandez halt
ed his band of insurrectos. The re
spite was welcomed. Exhaustion
reigned supreme. Hernandez picked
out two of the sleeker looking revo
! Iutionists.
This trail, he said to them, has
been lately travelled. See where il
leads"
Hernandez went back to his cap.
tives He carried with him thick
pieces Of bread. He Embossed the
bandages from their eyes.
Mine hostages, he said lightly,
eat drink and be merry"
Three miles further ON there was a
clearing in the jungle. Across this
clearing was an ancient gateway and
crumbling stone wall, older than his
toric man himself Two unprepossess-
ing stolid stone figures guarded this
gateway. A third guard now entered
the foreground and passed through the
uhNAShI GATEWAY.
He was living guard, but of dead
race. He was an Aztec. He had heard
noises and he had come out to see as
well as to hear.
And suddenly he saw and was seen
in turn. Wriggling through the por-
lions of the edge of the clearing sud
denly appeared the two scouts sent
forward by Hernandez They crouched
there, staring speechlessly at the
Aztec warrior. He in his turn stared
speechlessly at them.
But they had seen more than he had
They had caught glimpse through
that gateway of a mass of leaping.
twisting fame, and they knew it for
the thing it was.
An hour later, painting, breathless,
with their tongues hanging out and
their eyes still wide with terror, they
crept up to Hernandez and clutched
him by the arms.
"Corazon del Sol" they cried, their
faces twisted with terror.
Ponto heard them. His eyes cleaned
with sudden interest He waddled to |
the side of Hernandez and nodded |
understandingly.
"Corazon del SOL" repeated Herman
DEE. THE Heart of the SUM-"
Ponto nodded again. THE Heart Of
the Sun" he repeated.
We'll, what of it?" asked Herman
dez
THE lost tribe whispered the
scouts. The Aztecs. Come" they
cried, I'VE have no time to lose. They
will be upon us. Fly"
Hernandez gripped each man by the
wrist Speak, Ponto," he demanded.
Ponto tapped himself upon his chest.
i am of Aztec blood myself" he said
i have heard of this lost tribe. have,
heard of this city of Corazon del Sol.
Many assume it to be a myth, senior,
but it is no myth"
