the next afternoon the cook and the two boys went to the spot a second time, hoping to secure further stores of the luscious fluid.
 Joe shouldered his gun and July car Iried an axe as well as repeating rifle belonging to the camp. Tim, followed |by two dogs, brought up the rear, car irving a cedar bucket .s5 The fallen bee tree was in the more open woods o1 the islands higher levels and it was mot necessary to toll through dense swamp growth in order to reach it. but the spot itself was well shut in by blackjack thickets and clumps of pal Imettos, the felled tree lying near the centre of an open wire-grass covered space about sixty feet square
 { After yielding his axe for more thar half an hour without results, the negro threw it down, but the two boys whc stood watching urged him to try fur, ither. They were the more loath tt abandon the undertaking because yer, few bees still fingered over the ruins 0. their hive and there was little dangel of being stung. The negro obligingl, swung his axe again and very soon GU into second hollow containing honey no doubt connected by a narrow pas. sage with the larger cavity opened the day before. The last blow of the axe penetrated the honey itself, breaking several fine layers of comb and send. ing the liquid forth in a slow thick stream.
 Vt11 n6 h11n l. ynt hnt boys took a large piece of the honey comb and sat down on a neighborins log to enjoy the feast.
 This is a lot better than trampins around trying to find something tc shoot" said Tim, with his mouth full
 Hello! what's up?" cried Joe sud denly, noting that both dogs were snuff1ng excitedly and that the hair on their backs stood erect.
 As if in answer, a large black bear trotted out of the blackjack thicket into the open, making straight for the bee tree, toward which it had no doubt been attracted by the scent of the honey. Seeing the black man, the boys, and the now snarling dogs, the bear halted, reared on it's hind legs and snorted.
 Where dat ri1e?" cried July, as the boys started to their feet and retreated a few steps.
 When they reached the spot the gun and rifle had been laid aside. Joe thoughtlessly following the example of the negro who needed to be free while he swung the axe. Now they saw in alarm that both rifle and gun lay within three or four feet of the bear and could not be reached. At this dis covery panic seized upon all and, with common impulse they raced to the other end of the open space. distance of some fifty yards, the negro even

sat at his desk with his head bowed in shame and terror.
 What Teacher said to Max and what he said to her was never known to the children. But, the next morning just after the opening exercises Teacher addressed the class.
 Children" she said pleasantly Max did not tell me who wrote on the blackboard. In fact, I did not urge him to do so-for I did not really want him to. That would have made him a 'tattle-tale,' as you children say. And a 'tattle-tale' is almost as bad as one who tells lies.
 "If Max had written on the board himself and then refused to admit he had done so and tried to he out of 1t. I would have made him confess or. ex- pelled him from school. But, of course, knew he was not guilty. And I am proud to say that Max would not purchase his own comfort and re- lease by becoming a 'tattle-tale.'
 Now, I am going to ask the child who did write on the blackboard to be man or woman enough to stand up and confess. I must know who did it-and shall keep on until l do, even if I have to ask each one of you,

N EGGY'S birthday was coming
 and her parents promised her a
 Popcorn Party. Great were the preparations for this affair, be- ause the little hostess made up her hind that it was to be the best ever siven in the neighborhood.
 When mother told her that she night entertain her friends. she also said: You can have all the children of the neighborhood and your cousins, out you must attend to the sending put of the invitations yourself, and you must make the souvenirs and chains of popcorn. I shall be too busy with the baby to give the party any time"
 You bet I'll do it all myself" cried the excited child, "and I'll be very thankful to you and papa for giving me such a lovely birthday present." Peggy set to work with a will to getting out the invitation-ca She lsed corn-colored paper and in one corner of the sheet she drew an ear ,f corn which she tinted with her water colors. The notes ran thus: Dear Claire:
 Please come to my house on next Saturday afternoon, the Eleventh, to meet Miss c. Cobb. It will be an in formal affair so wear plain dress.

danger zone.
 But at last harried continually the bear began to flag and showed a desire to seek shelter Having gradually neared the trunk of a pine in the course of it's shiftings of position, the bear was seen to look up as if into a haven of refuge fresh rush of the dogs, encouraged by still louder shout ing, seemed to decide the issue. As if weary of the struggle, the creature rose on it's hind legs, embraced the trunk of the pine, and began to climb, going rapidly upward without rest un- til 1t found itself among the spreading branches more than sixty feet from the ground.
 . Then, with shouts of satisfaction, Joe and July ran for their weapons. Joe was nearest, reached the spot first, and caught up the repeating rifle. You take de gun and gim me dat rife" said July.
 "Oh, mo-" objected Joe. q want to shoot this bear and the guns no good for that"
 
 some grumbling, and then the two watched from atar by Tim--circled the pine until they found the point whench the dark bulk of the bear could be seen most plainly outlined amid the clustering boughs of the trees top As Joe took aim, July remarked that never in all his "born days" had he heard tell'' of the freeing of a bear in a tall pine in this manner.
 Joe fired once, twice-siX times and the bear did not move.
 'He must have a bullet-proof hide,' the boy panted loath to admit that he had missed so often
 "Oh, gim me dat rifle" remon- strated July. You can't hit him."
 Yes, can," insisted Joe.
 Take you till next week to bring down dat bear"
 Well I'll keep on trying anyhow" the boy said sharply, for I'm the hunter-not you. You're the cook"
 This silenced July except for a con tinued murmur of dissatisfaction and expressions of eagerness to see the f1n- ish. The persistent boy kept firing and at last. after the thirteenth shot, the big game was seen to sway to one side, as if loosening it's grip on the branches. Then the heavy body came tumbling down, striking the ground with great force.
 T got him. I got him." cried the wildly excited boy, as the bear de- scended.
 A few minutes later two returned hunters and guide. attracted by the firing and the barking of the dogs, came running and Joe was soon the centre of an astonished and admiring group.
 Later it was found that the prize measured seven inches across the ball of the foot and three inches through the fat on the round. And it was cal iculated that the total weight was fully -four hundred pounds. But Joe was interested most in five bullet holes in the creatures hide, proving that his aim was much better than at first ap- peared

lines to represent hair on the head.
 Just then the real Max espied her. He came running up the aisle and, stopping before her, shook his finger at her, You rub that outl You rub that out!" he cried.
 Marion turned and grinned at him tantalizingly. Just then she heard Teacher coming and popped into her seat like a rat into his hole.
 Max hesitated a moment and jumped forward to seize an eraser and rub out the offensive design. But, alas, just as he reached up to do SO, stern, angry voice exclaimed:
 Max"
 Poor Max! Instantly he was terri fled. The eraser slipped. from his fingers and crashed to the floor; and, his knees wobbling, he turned to face Teacher.
 Maxi" she exclaimed. q am sur prised! To think you would do a thing like that the moment my back is turned! And have always felt I could trust you!"
 Max tried to speak but couldn't. He swallowed and swallowed-and swallowed-but something kept stick ing in his throat just the same. Final ly, after heroic effort he managed to blurt out:
 Pup pup-pul-le Teacher, IT didn't do it''
 ''What?" cried Teacher. You mean to stand there and tell me a story :? Why, Max, I saw you reaching up to the board as I came into the room . And to think you would tell lie"
 h-h I to r,11I said Max desperately.
 "Oh-h! Before I could see it, eh? Worse and more of it!''
 'N-no, Teacher!' Max persisted, his heart in his mouth. Somebody else wrote it and-and I tried to rub it out before you came in.'
 Teacher looked at him a moment in silence. q think see now" she said presently. You were trying to rub it out? Yes, l see. If you had writ ten it yourself you would scarcely have put your own name-besides, it isn't your handwriting. Now. Max, that was very thoughtful of you And" Teacher hesitated a moment-"and now tell me who did draw that crude, ill-bred thing and write your name above it?"
 helA nuHS ms neeQ ana swallowed hard again.
 A rustic and shuff1ing of feet ran through the room. But Marion-lit- tie imp that she was--never so much as moved.
 Who did it, Max" asked Teacher quietly.
 'Pul-pul-lease,' answered Max slow ly. I'd rather not tell.'
 What" And Teacher took a step or two towards him and drowned. You'd rather not tell? I demand that you tell mel
 But Max dropped his eyes and shook his head slowly.
 Max" Teacher was angry now Did you hear what said? Tell mel"
 The silence was such that you could have heard a pin drop. Every child sat in his chair as though he were made of wood.
 ''No!" cried Max presently, his voice a-tremble. I'm not tattle-ta tale, Teacher! I won't tell you"
 For one awful moment Teacher lowered above him. Her frown was
