 This bear had apparently tired of 2 herbaCeOus diet and started out for g change. Finding the hotel closed and no obseqUlOus porter on hand to take his baggage, he tore off a heavy storm door and threw his weight against the inner door. breaking iu from it's hinges.
 Then he started to give the place the once over. In doing so he pulled down shelves on which provisions had been stored. Glass jars were broken and their contents scattered around. Cups, saucers. plates and other dishes all suffered the same way Flour, bacon and other articles of food were dumped at random.
 In the pantry Bruit found some jars of honey. From these he evidently ate his fill. without being able to con sume 1t all and he left the rest for another visit That subsequent visit was his UndOing. Curlu McGtN. v-a-chman Of the place discovered the wreck when he came back from & trip TO another part of the park So he stuck around.
 Lured by the taste of the honey, the bear came back for more Me Gill was waiting for him and Finished him With one welI-directcd shot.
 The bear measured five feet nine inches from tip to tip When shor. the big fellow dropped onto large packing case, in which some of the hotel stores were kept. His immense weight crushed the box.
 Estimates of the damage done place the figures close to $5.0O0. The dam age consisted of broken dishes. ruined provisions, smashed furniture and broken windows through which the bear had thrown things apparently not to his liking

 From out the obscure spaces, there foated the faint, hollow lowing of cattle, and on the face of the plain something stirred, as if sleeping monster had moved and agitated the encOmpassing air.
 St-mer knocked the aches from his pipe. 4 jet of red sparks whirIed upward, making visible for a second a brOnzed, sober face. It was the first time he had moved for an hour. He rehlled his pipe, lighted it. tilted back his chair and smoked-siIent, motion less. A dog rose from the ground laid it's head on it's masters knee and breathed cOntentedly.
 Stimer smoked on. Then, sudden ly, out on the prairie a yellow flame shot up, disappeared. fickered again the center of a lucent circle. Stimer leaned forward.
 some of the boys striking camp, he muttered, as he rose and walked toward some dim shapes-sheds and cOTraIs He found a saddle and bri- de, and at the sound of his voice a horse trCtted to his side with a friend ly neigh. He girted on the saddle, mounted and turned onto the prairie the dog at his heels.
 Reaching the top of a divide, he stopped. Below, the campfire now burned brightly. A girl moved to and fro, bringing to view intermittently a face IaQuered with gold, a halo of Ius- rrOus black hair. A boy stood mo- tonIess observing critically the pro ceedings going on about the Ire, half of him in light, half in shadow-an  the dark beyond a giIded wagon cover rose like a full moon on mUrky horizon.
 stimer rode forward, his shadow stalking specterIike across the sombre immensity.
 'Howdy do, miss" he said friend lily.
 The girl stepped back, startled. shaded her eyes beneath her hand, and peered into the dark.
 Good evenin'" she said a tone of apprehension in her voice.
 The boy at the sound of Sinners approach darted forward and thrust gun toward him.
 Don't you come no furdder." he said threateniHgIy
 Stimer had no intention of Yentur- ing further. He looked down at the boy, a queer smile on his face.
 Whats yer bizness % the boy ask ed, still keeping the stranger under cover.
 Cow" said the other. You can put up yer gun
 Don't mind i'm said the girl forward Give me the gun. Tom. you'n hurt yourself"

 Be asbame', Tom." said the girl, jerking him unceremoniously into the background.
 Sttmer accepted a chair Ruth of fered, as if to make amends for Toms unconventional reception. She apoIo- gized for his rudeness and returned to the preparation of supper.
 Stimer did not feel comfortable
