They had nm awful time getting her UP in a
tree. We piled lot of boxes up and several OF
US boosted her up and set her on limb ana
they took the boxes away 10 they wouldn't
show in the picture. md she cried and wanted
TO come down, and ]. ]. says:
That's fine: catch her while she weeps.''
Then Charlie the bear comes up ana puts his
paws on the tree like he was going up there. too.
and see the bear and want to kill him for
supper. and lam him over the head with n club
stuffed with rags. and the Italian that owned
tho bear says:
Lay down. Charlie. Play dead"
But the bear wouldn't play dead. and looked
him in the eyes like j. j. said to do, and he
started toward me like he was going to bite
me. and the paEo kept holIerinE for him to play
dead. and pretty soon was clear to the fence.

he plays dead

to take her for another wife. according to the
rules OF that country. didn't want to at nrst
