Bedtime Stories
Mother Comes to the Rescue
By Thornton W. Burgess
IN oil the a0orld, beloaU, above,
The greatest thing is mother. love.
Peter Rabbit.

The love OF mother is wonderful
beyond all things. There is nothing
to compare with it. There is nothing
it will not attempt to do. There is no
danger it will not face. There is no
sacrifice it will not make. 1t is the
most beautiful, the most perfect Of
all things.
The twins, Boxer and Wool Woof,
had thought that in climbing a tall
tree they were making themselves
safe. 1t had not entered their funny
little heads that great big Buster Bear
would climb that tree. SO you can
imagine how terribly frightened they
were when Buster started up tina.
tree after them. They scrambled up
and up until they were just as high
as they could get, and there they clung
with feet and hands, the worst scared
little folk in all the Green Forest.
Now. little Bears are much like lit
tie boys and girls in very many ways,
end one of these is their faith in
mother Another is, that when they
are frightened or in trouble they cry
and yell for mother.
That is just what Boxer and Woof-
Woof did now. The instant they saw
Buster they began to whimper and
cry softly, and they kept it up as
they scrambled up the trunk of that
tree. But when they saw Buster Bear
climbing up after them, they simply
opened their mouths and bawled. Yes.
sir, they did.
Mamma! Mamma-a-a!" yelled Boxer
at the top of his lungs.
"Oh-o-o, Mamma-a-a." screamed
WoofW Woof
Now, fortunately for the twins.
Mother Bear was not so far away that
she couldn't hear them. BY the sound
of their voices she knew that this
was no ordinary trouble they were in.
Terror was in the sound of those
voices. Those twins were in danger
There was no doubt about it. That
danger might be danger for her as
we'll, but she didn't give that
thought. She plunged straight in the
direction from which those cries were
coming and she didn't stop to pick her
way. She crashed straight through
brush and branches in her wav,
jumped over logs and broke down
young trees.
At the sound of the first crash made
by Mother Bear as she started for
those cubs Buster Bear stopped climb
ing. HA turned his head end looked
anxiously in that direction, his little !
New-York tribune., 1921-04-20

ears cooked to catch every sound. At
the second crash Buster Bear decided
mat that was no place for him. He
didn't stop to climb down. He simply
let go and dropped. Yes, sir, that is
what he did; he let go and dropped.
lt was long way to the ground,
but the ground was where Buster Bear
wanted to be, and he wanted to be
there right away. He wanted to be
there before whoever was coming
could reach that tree. And the quick
est way of getting there was to drop,
few bruises and shaking up were
nothing to Buster Bear just then.
Ihe grunt he gave when he hit the
ground even the twins heard way up
in the top of the tree. 1t made them
stop bawling for a minute to wonder
II Buster had been killed But Buster
hadn't been killed. Goodness, moi The
instant he could get his breath he
was on his feet and running away 30
last that even Lightfoot the Deer
would have had to do his best to keep
up with him. And over his shoulder
huster Bear was throwing frightened
glances behind
He was not out of sight when
Mother Bear burst out from amonp
the trees. She saw him INSTANTLY
With roar of rage she started after
buster. Buster had seemed to he
moving fast, but it was nothing com
pared to the way he moved when he
heard that roar.

Repetition of Attitude to

From. a Sto6 Correspondent

ALBANY, April le.-Legislators who
have read Mayor Hylan's "ofYcr" to
lend assistance to the legislative COM
mittee which has been created to in
vcstigate graft, ineff1cicncy and ex-
travagance Of the Hearst-Hylan- Tam
many administration characterize it
as another deliberate attempt on the
part of the Mayor to fool the public.
Mayor Hylan's "offer" reads:
"To facilitate the efforts Of the leg
islative committee I have directed
every official and every employee under
my jurisdiction to furnish the hearth
est and most helpful cooperation
that Mayor Hylan had no choice. The
Legislature in drafting the graft in
vvestigation resolution saw to it that
Mayor Hylan must render such assist
ance as they demanded In order to
compel him to give this same assist
ance which he now OFFERS" the law
makers inserted mandate in the docu-
ment which forces Mayor Hylan and
every other elective and appointive Of
fclal in the City Of New York TO assist
scribe.
The mandate reads:
Resolved, That such committee he
hereby authorized to take testimony.
subpoena witnesses, and compel tho
production Of books, documents and
papers, and to have the assistance and
cooperation of the officers and en-
piloyees of the City of New York and
the counties within said city. and
access TO and examination Of ali rec
ofds, BOOKS, papers and documents Of
SAD i, city and counties, and of any and
az oepartments, bureaus, Offices, boards
and commissioners thereof"
The legislators did not want to have
repetition of the obstructive tactics
employed by the Mayor and his Police
commissioner, Richard Enright, when
former Governor Charles S. Whitman
began an investigation into the charges
made by The Tribune and Senafor for
Theodore Douglas Robinson and As-
semblyman Joseph Stcinberg against
the city administration.
1T was recalled here to-day that at
mat time Mr. Whitman asked that Ger

tanning evidence IN the crimes under

Hylan and Police Commissioner En-
right refused to grant the request est

PLUNKETT THINKS IRISH AGREEMENT
 WILL BE RATE FED
Says Ulster Will Join in For. nation of Irish Free State-PeopIe Favor
 Treaty
By Associated Press

New York, December 2S-sir Hor- ace Plunkett, arriving today on the Olympic for period of quiet in the west, predicted the Irish peace treaty would be ratified and that Ulster would join in the formation of the Irish Free State.
 He said the treaty corresponded with the aims for which he had worked and expressed belief that 1t was satisfactory to the great mass of the Irish people.
 Asked how he knew the treaty would be ratified. Sir Horace replied:
 Because, even if the Dail Eireann cannot, on account of the pledges of it's members to an Irish republic. agree to another form of govern ment it will have to consult the peo- pie, and they will be for the treaty.
 "The terms of the treaty are sub stantially those I have advocated for the last two and a half years so am naturally happy about them. So, also, should Irishmen and friends of Ireland in America feel. They know enough of democratic politics to real ize that if the Irish people have not got dil AltaN tnelf IeaueTs nave dshHu for in the last few years, they have won powers of government with which they can mould their political destinies and buId up civilization in harmony with the genius oe the race.
