 Hasn't Eddie Gooch. one of Lost Any the Fairbanks firemen, Bears hasn't lost any bears.
 Consequently, when he was detailed to help make a search for Molly" a female representative of the Bruin family, who is usually kept in tether at the fire hall he didn't like it very much. But he went And between himself and Captain "Heinie' Gohres, the bear was finally caught We will not say just where the capture was made only that it was in a place in close proximity to the fire hall, 10 which, if the bear had been a perfect" lady, she would not have strayed. But that is another story.
 Molly" wa wearing a long chain attached to her collar when she made her escape. And when Cap tain Heinie and Eddie rounded her up she was still wearing it. There fore, when they came up to the bear all that Captain Heinie did to effect the capture was to take hold of the chain.

 It now develops, however, that l there was very good reason for l their having been refused admit tance to the nat" on that particu- 1 lar evening. For it seems that a well known young mining man from the Tolovana country, who at times is given the cognomen of slippery, and who is well known for his little philanthropies of various kinds, had the "swimmin' pool' all to himself.
 That is he had rented it for that particular evening. And he was "cock O the walk speaking in the vernacuIar, for his invited guests and the only ones he invited, were four members of the fair sex; two blondes and two brunettes. And he didn't run the risk of losing any member of his harem by invit ing any of his very closest friends of the so-called sterner sex.
 Did they have a good time? Well now, you just ask Slippery" But when you do, he won't have very much to say about it, For the fact of the matter is, Slippery" is quiet ly laughing up his sleeve over the good one he slipped over on his
