Clean, y. Y.-Joe Butcher, who IS

Of the black bears that come out ~

and nobody ever has been able 10 con
vince him that they are harmless His
| father has told him that the black
| bears come out only 70 look for things

never were interested in little boys.
Last night, however, Joe toddled out

Fred, who is eleven, and for several

walked behind his brother and when
they got 10 the barn he sat down on
pile Of hay just inside the doorway
while his brother began milking the

Fred" said Joe, at is awful dark
outside. Are you afraid OF bears?"
Don't be silly" said Fred There
aren't any bears around here except
black bears, and they wouldn't hurt
anybody"
But they might" persisted Joe.
"And you're not afraid Of them, are
you? All right, then l won't be afraid
either"
Black Bruin Appears.
Fred went on milking by the light
Of the lantern, until the pail was about
full. All at once he heard Joe cry out
with little stifled, sobbing scream. He
turned and saw that q big black bear
had come through the doorway and
was reaching out a hairy paw for the
little bog.
Fred jumped up and ran 10 his
brother and the bear, forgetting TO put
down the pail of milk as he ran. But
before he reached him the bears paw
had reached Joes shoulder and the
claws had gone into the sweater at
the shoulder. The bear looked around
just then and pulled away his paw,
tearing most of Joe's sweater with il.
Joe began TO cry, for the claws had
cut into his flesh about the shoulder
and neck. Fred didn't know what else
to do, so he threw the pail of milk
into the bears face. The hear put his
paws up to his eyes, trying TO brush
away the milk as he backed away.
The bear inadvertently backed into

been standing still wondering why the
