The bear licked his chops hungrily

cross, and finally he nodded his head
"All right II shall he as you say"
he grunted. I'll promise not TO eat any

CHAPTER yI
The Bears secret


The Bears secret
Peggy and Billy caused lot of sur
prise among the folks outside the circus
tent when they rode forth from under
the canvas on the back of bear
Mothers screamed and grabbed their
children, men shouted, and boys who had
been peeking around the circus lot to
see what they could see started home as
fast as their legs could carry them. No
one wanted to be caught by the bear.
The animal keeper, who had been left
locked up in the bears cage. as told in
yesterdays chapter, yelled loudly for
help, but there was so much noise dur
ing the show that he wasn't heard for
long time and by then the bear had
carried Peggy and Billy to the safety of
the distant woods.
Ugh! Ugh! It's good to be free"
grunted the bear, plungng deep into the
| forest. He went on and on until he
came to a river lie was turning to go
along the bank of the river when Billy
| spoke:
PERHAPS that animal keeper will
| chase u.s." said Billy "If you go into
the river and wade upstream, the water
VIII WASH away your tracks ana tne
| keeper will not be able to follow you. y
The bear took this advice and walked
| along through the shallow water until
| he came to a ford, and there he crossed
to the other bank of the stream.
| II think you had better go home TO
your cave the shortest way" advised
| Billy.
My cave is many days journey from
here. I must eat and rest before l start
for there" replied the bear. sitting down
suddenly and tumbling Peggy and Billy
| off his back. AS they jumped up to
scold him for giving them this rough
| surprise, he began to lick his chops
hungrily. '"I could not take food while
] was homesick,' said the bear, but now
| I've got a terrible appetite. / think a
couple of plump children would taste
mighty good to me right this minute
The bear looked at Peggy and Billy
| in a way that made them feel creepy
Had the grief over being shut up in a
| cage made Lonesome Bear crazy? Had
| he become wild again, and was he
actually thinking of eating them?
How queer you talk, Lonesome
Bear" said Peggy. You know you like
to eat grubs and berries and honey bet
| ter than you do children"
why do you call me Lonesome
Bear?" asked the bear to their aston
ishment That isn't my name"
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-08-21

Peggy and Billy stared at him in
amazement They hadn't doubted for
a minute that he was Lonesome Bear
To be sure, he hadn't seemed to know
them when they first saw him in his
cnge, but they thought that was due TO
grief and Inconsistencies. Even now they
could scarcely believe he wasn't Lone
some Bear, and yet there was something
about this bear that made him seem
little different from their friend. Yes !;
he was n stranger. And perhaps he was
a savage bear and was really thinking
about eating them
"If you're not Lonesome Bear you
must be his twin" cried Billy.
ugh I have a twin brother" grunt-
ed the bear. I'VE were parted when we
were cubs. Where shall ] find this Lone
some Bear you speak OFF,
You will find him living In cave
with Toddie Pupl<ins. his chum. We will
take you there II you don't eat u.s." said
Peggy quickly. She thought II would
be well to bargain with this hungry
strange bear.

Why be Fat?

Have you heard about the very best
system for weight reduction? It is SO
easy to follow, SO different. from the
Objectionable ways-and perfectly safe.
You may eat and drink all you need.
There is no tedious exercising. Use
a little oil of korein at convenient
times; also follow the simple,
clear directions. A loss of weight, ten
to sixty pounds (whatever you need to
lose), may be expected by this safe and
pleasant system of fat reduction. AT
the druggists get a small box Of oil
of Gorein, and start at once. Be
of normal size, with good figure and
attractive appearance, agile, quick
witted, healthier and more efficient. By
reducing weight now you are likely to
avoid one or more diseases, heart weak
ness, sunstroke, apoplexy, etc., and to
add many years to your life. Remem-
ber-oil of korein. Become slender
and stay so. Brochure mailed FREE.

of breaking up the home, to suit

Increased Fifty
Millions
NO FARE ADVANCE
Passenger Rates Will
Remain the Same
is Claim
(By Universal Service)

WASHINGTON. = All railroads
west of the Mississippi river filed
with the interstate commerce COM
mission Thursday proposals for ad-
vances in freight rates of "a per cent
in order to increase their revenues
by $352,S93,OO0 year. This amount
they contend is the minimum neces-
sary to bring their net income up the
per cent on a property investment
of $S,963,883,000.
Samuel M. FELTON,, of Chicago, as
chairman of the western executive
rate commission, in presenting the
application, laid stress on the made
quancy Of present railroad facilities
to handle efficiently the growing
traffic of the country and the need
for the immediate outlay of hun
dreds of millions of new capital for
new equipment.
He estimated that this year and
next, in addition to the large
amounts Of new capital required the
western carriers must refund about
tour hundred thirty million dollars
of maturing obligations now bearing
low rates of interest, some as low as
4 per cent. The propose to the COM
merce commission that no advance
shall be made in passenger fares and
that the needed revenue be obtained
by advancing freight rates to "a per
cent. Long standing difPerentials
and rate returns, Mr.. FELTON, ex-
plains should be carefully observed
in readjusting the traffics.

Country
(By Universal Service)


WASHINGTON. Dispatches
reaching the state department Thurs
day from diplomatic representatives
indicate that the Carranza govern
ment is rapidly being surrounded by
the military activities of revolution
ary forces. While up to the present
the revolution has been largely con-
fined to the states north and north
east of Mexico City, today's reports
show that the area of revolution
against Carranza has spread to the
south and southeast.
The state department was unad-
vised of the reported fall of. the city
of Torreon, but unofficial advices in
dicate that this important railway
center had been occupied by rebel
forces.
The Carranzista garrison at Oaxa-
ca, capital of the state of that name,
has been driven out by rebel troops,
the reports stated, and the town oc-
cupied by the rebel leader Meixueiro.
