He Tackled Turtle.
Like Ben Kings Famous Pup, Slow
Moving Logeerhead Demonstrated
That what He Took Hold
Of, He Never Let Co."

While bears are certainly dreadful
get the worst of 1t when out of their
element Curious and unequal con-
bats occur when beasts of prey attack
creatures under unusual circumstances.
The pursuer In such case is likely to
incur more risk than the pursued,
fact that was illustrated In novel
encounter in a harbor of Florida be-
tween a bear and turtle.
The crew of schooner while ashore
heard strange rumpus and pushing
around turn in the beach, saw huge
loggerhead turtle in deadly combat with
q big black bear.
From the mems position It seemed
that the bear had sprung upon the tur-
tie as 1t was retreating toward the wa
ter, and had tried to overturn 1t. In
some way the bear had stepped In
front of the turtle, which, thrusting
its head out. had quickly seized one Of
the bears hind legs and held 1t.
At this the bear roared loudly, paw
ed furlously at the turtles back,
and tried to force it over. The tur-
tie resisted with all its strength
and weight. He settled down close to
the ground whenever the bear made
an extra effort. Then, as the bear
would relax its efforts the turtle would
suddenly start up and endeavor to get
nearer the water, keeping his firm hold
on the bears leg.
Finally, by sudden push and pow
erful muscular effort of his head and
paws, bruin managed to get the turtle
half set, one side being raised foot
or two. Pursuing his advantage, he
seized one of the turtles hind fiippers
in his jaws, and the snap that followed
showed that the bear felt that things
were coming his way.
He continued to chew the fiipper
and endeavor to overthrow the turtle.
But his antagonist worked around and
finally got In a stroke with its sharp
claw that badly ripped the bears I'M
derside. This Infatuated the bear to
such an extent that he let go his grin
on the fiipper and, reaching his head
down, tried to reach and free his hind
leg. Herein he committed terrible
tactical error and the enraged logger
head quickly improved the opportunity
thus afforded him.
AS the bears nose came within
reach the turtle let go the hind leg
and quick as a flash fastened his iron
grip upon the bears jaw. The bear
was taken by surprise and roared lus-
tily with pain and rage. The turtle
pushed on and dragged his unwilling
captive along. The bear saw his dam
ger and felt 1t. too, for they were 50
near the waters edge that the waves
were splashing them.
The bear continued to struggle fe-
rociously, but his strength soon began
to fail, for the turtle dragged him deep
err and deeper. Fighting with his head
half the time under water so exhaust
ed the bear that presently he began tn
gurgle. That moment was fatal. The
loggerhead marched off into the sen
with his enemy and the last seen OF
the bear was the feeble kicking of his
hind legs. Next day his body was
washed ashore. cut into dozen pieces.

Just then we came upon the Silent
Woman sitting among the dandelions
by the roadside. She held a cup in
her hand with some honey on Its bot
tom and covered with piece of glass.
"She is hunting bees" said as we
stopped beside her.
She rose and patted my shoulder
with smile and threw kiss to Sally.
Suddenly her face grew stern. She
pointed toward the village and then at
Sally.
''She means that there is some dam
ger ahead of you" / said.
The Silent Woman picked a long
blade of grass and tipped its end in
the honey at the bottom of the cup.
She came close to Sally with the blade
OF grass between her thumb and finger

She smiled and nodded as she put a
drop of honey on Sally's upper lip.
She held up her hands while her lips
moved as if she were blessing us.

We went on and in a moment bee

struck at it and then cried out with
pain.
''The bee has stung you," I said.
She covered her face with her hand

She uncovered her face, now de-

nose having swollen to one Of great

"You look like Rodney Barnes" I
said with laugh as 1 applied the clay
to her afflicted nose.
"And feel like the old boy. think
my nose is trying to jump off and run

We were nearing the village. She
wiped the mud from her prodigious

VEDRINES, FLYER,
 KILLED IN FALL
Famous French Aviator Has Accir dent in Flight to Rome--Machin-
 ist is Also Killed.

Paris, April 22.--Jules Vedrines. a noted French aviator, was killed yes- terday when his machine fell in the department of Drome while Vedrines was attempting to make nonstop flight from Villacoublay to Rome. The mechanician in the machine also was killed.
 The machine in which they were making the trip was wrecked. The accident happened about 10:3o o'clock this morning at Les Foullloises, and it is believed it was due to the machine coIlapsing in the air The aviators fell from 9 great height and the death of both Of them was in stantaneous.
 Jules Verdrines was one of the most noted French airnen. He was one of the first Frenchmen to take up aviation and during the years 1911 and 1912 was very active in aerial races in Europe, winning the Paris Madrid race, finishing fourth in the European circuit race and making various records for height, distance and speed and finishing second in the British circuit race. He was one of the first aviators to fly from London to Paris, doing this on August 4, 1911. On April 29, 1912, almost seven years ago, Vedrines was injured seriously blythe fall of his machine at St. Denis. He recovered from his injuries and in August, of that year he came to America and won the interna tional aviation race at Chicago on Septem- Der 9. Tn 1913, he flew from Paris to Cairo.
