ed boxer, and with q terrific side sweer
he threw her OF her balance. Before
she could recover herself he vas on
her flank, rending and tearing with his
long claws, and striving to pull her
down, while his fangs, fixed in the
tough hide of her bumped shoulders,
baffled her maddest efforts I o wrench
herself free.
Jed Smith, meanwhile, from a nearby
point on the ridge where he had paus-
ed to cut his fishing rod, had seen that
first rush Of the bear upon the calf
Cursing the loss Of his rifle he ierked
the light ak from his belt and went
racing down the rugged slope. He felt
as If those moose belonged to him. II
he could get there in time he knew
that he and the valiant COW together
were more than a match for any black
bear that ever lived.
Just as the COW vas sinking 10 her
knees under the irresistible, crushing
drag OF her mighty antagonist. Jed
Smith arrived. Neither of the strainine
beasts had seen him. Swinging high his
little AK he brought the bright blade
down with all his force.
Then he sprang aside several PAGES,
wiped his weapon Oh the moss, and
stood watching with grim satisfaction
while without a sound the huge black
bulk slumped down in a sprawling
heap.
Thus suddenly freed, the COW was
on her feet again in q flash. She
whlrled about, ready to renew the
battle, though her flank was streaming
with blood and her knees trembling.
For a second or two, as if dazed, she
stared down at the motionless form of
her foe.
Then with a squeal of fury, she rear
ed to her full height and brought her
fore hooves down upon it with all her
weight behind them. For the next few
minutes she slaShed and pounded and
trampled blindly, till she was bathed in
blood to the knees, and till what had
been a bear was but a shapeless mass
of dark fur and crimson mangled flesh.
At last, convinced that her adversary
was effectually defeated, she hurried
over to the calf, nosed him to make
sure he was unhurt, and then let him
nurse-which was apparently her pam
acea for all ills. The man she never
even looked at.
you think you done it all yourself,
old girl" muttered Jed, but if I hadn't
got here in time you were a goner."
And he strobe off grinning to find
himself that fishing pole.
That same night the wind fell and
rain came down in torrents. All night,
Jed Smith sat with his back against
the rock, drenched, but smoking phil
osphically. In the morning, the smoke
that rose from the blackened forest,
which still glowed red in spots, was
mingled with white clouds of steam.
Jed allowed himself one bareback, then

paddle. and headed for the raft. 1t
was still raining heavily. but he felt
that he would be no worse off TO push
along while the lake was calm. But
nrst he cut himself a strong pole. with
which to thrust his raft through the
shallow waters along shore at a much
better pace than he could hope to make
with the paddle.
Just as he was showing off the squir-
rel arrived. 1t came with a scamper
and a wild chattering and flirting its

II was not going TO be left behind on
that dangerous island. 1t had found
Jed Smith very useful and likely to be
more so. 1t would journey with him till
they should reach some favored spot

ir trees would grow thick and green,
and tall enough to be a refuge from
the fiercest foxes.

Laughingly he shooed off the little
thief. bidding it mind its manner and
wait for breakfast.
While he toasted his bacon the moose
and her calf strolled past, so close he
could have touched them with his
toasting fork and disappeared around a
bend Of the shore in search OF better
browsing.
After breakfast he decided to try and
catch some trout. to vary his bill OF

DANE RELATES
/. LIBERTY FIGHT

The ever changing map of
Europe was recalled last night
by Holger Fink, mayor of the
city of Aabenraa, Denmark,
delegate to the International
Chamber of Commerce Congress,
when he told of the years his
home city was under the iron
rule of Prussia.
For more than 40 years fol.
lowing the war of 1865, the city
was ruled by Prussia and the
people, while heavily burdened
with taxation, were not permitted
to vote or have any voice in the
affairs Of the town.
Aabenraa was one of the cities
in the territory wrested from Den
mark following the war and the
young men were forced to do
military service under PruSsian
officers and to have their civil
affairs administered by a military
governor sent to- the city by the
German High Command.
When the World War came,
Mr.. Fink said, that all of the
men of fighting age were pressed
into the service of Germany.
When the war was over Den.
mark made the demand for and
received all of the territory that
had been taken from her in the
war of 1866 and Aabenraa was
again Danish owned.

KAISER FAvORS

Former Emperor Is Quoted as
Terming Action Of Party

BERLIN, May S O.N.SO.-The
first definite admission 5nat
former Kaiser Wilhelm is COM
mitted to the cause of FaciSm in
Germany was made at Munich to,
day by his son, Prince August
Wilhelm, a student defender of
Adolf Hitler's national socialist
party.
In a speech before a group of
Fascists in the Bavarian city,
Prince August wilhelm revealed
that his once imperial father,
now chOpping wood at his exile

siders the national socialist party

and Is glad that his son has be.
come q martyr" to the causes.
August Wilhelm, known as
"Auwi" to his Fascist associates,
made public his fathers views
while speaking about the alleged
"manhandling" he was subjected
to by the police at Koenigsberg
after a political rally there.
Despite his proud lineage, the
prince was beaten with night
sticks and. according to his story,
"kicked around" by police when
the officers broke UP a crowd of
sympathizers who had gathered
to bid him farewell at the
Koenigsberg railway station. He
added:
"PriOr to that incident my
father had known of the
National Socialist movement
only from hearsay.
Recently, however, he wrote
to me. In his letter he said:
"'YOu can be proud you have
been permitted to become a
martyr to this grand national
movement
It has been reported for some
time that the former Kaiser was
o tacit supporter of the Fascist
movement, while it was even
rumored that he was a financial
contributor to the party. Many
former mobiles who were bereft of
titles and fortunes hen the Ger
man Republic was proclaimed
are numbered among the party's
hackers.
The ex-Kaiser took action i'm,
mediately after the clubbing Incl
dent and instructed his attorney
in Berlin to file charges against
the Koenigsberg police in connec
tion with the attack. Prince
August Wilhelm also filed a civil
suit for damages.

Motor-carrier legislation throughout
the country is under way and promises
in some instances to become drastic, it
was indicated by survey made here
today.
Four States already have passed new
laws to govern buses and common car
rier trucks, and one of them-Kansas-
has gone so far as to include persons
carrying their own goods for CONNER
cial purposes outside of cities and VIII
lagos and beyond a radius Of rs miles.
Indiana Legislation.
The Indiana Legislature enacted an
amendment to the motor vehicle law
which reduces the maximum weight
limit to a point said by bus operators
to be so low as seriously to affect the
use of modern buses now in service.
In Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, Min
nesota and North Carolina bills are
pending that would limit the length of
buses to 80 feet. Buses now COM
monty used in intercity service are APP
proximately 80 feet In length.

tives has passed bill increasing by 100
