Cubby has found this out for himself. Of course, his mother could have told him that this was true. AL most any one with experience could have told him. But almos, every one has to find it out for himself. It was just so with Cubby.
 He had made the mistake of not looking closely enough at the big footprints in the, snow that he had been following. Had he looked at them as he should have looked at them he would have known at once that they were not made by Mother Bear. But just because they were big footprints Cubby took 1t for granted that they were Mother Bears. So. galloping along careless ly, he ran around a great windfall and almost hcadlong into great big bear who was not his mother at all. In fact. the big bear was his father, Buster Bear. But Cubby didn't recognize his father and Bus ter didn't recognize cubhy.
 For perhaps one minute they stood staring at each other. Then with a deep rumbly- grumbly growl great big Buster Bear jumped to- ward Cubby. Cubby gave a fright ened yelp and started up tue near est tree. My goodness. how he did go up that tree, Chatterer the Red Squirrel never went up a tree any faster than did Cubby. And he kept right on going just as far as he could go. And when he found he could get no farther he began 10 bawl. You see. he was very scared little bear, so being so badly scared he just had to bawl.
 Buster Bear came over 10 the foot Of the tree and looked up. All the time he was growing that deep runbly- grumbly growl of his. Then he sat up on his launches and looked at Cubhy. Then he stood up on his hindfeet, and very tall he was as he reached up and dug the claws of his forefeet into the bark of that tree. Yes, sir. you would have thought just that. It was all because Cubby was so badly frightened. The moment his father dug his claws that he was just as good as caught Little bears are like some little boys ready to cry before they are hurt My. think of all the tears that would be saved If people just waited to be hurt before crying Half the tears in
