full length, he must needs struggle
up to his elbow again to blink at
Mr.. Chichester. heavy eyed and with
one hand to his u-inkling brow.

threw wide his arms, and so lay.

THEN Mr.. Chichester smiled,
Il and coming beside him,
looked down upon his helpless form
and flushed face and, smiling still,
spoke in his soft, gentle voice:
Are you asleep. Ronald?" he in
quired, and stirred Barrymaine
lightly with his foot, but. feeling
him so helpless, the stirring foot
grew slowly more vicious. "Oh
he murmured, what fool
you acel What a drunken, scottish
fool you are. So you'd give him
would you? All, but you
must ut, Ronald, you shan't, for

dear Ronald, and wake to find that
you have rid us of our good, young
Samaritan-once and for all, and
then-hey for Cleone. and no more
dread of the future. Sleep on, you
swinish sot!"
Mr.. Chichester's voice was as soft
as ever, but, as he turned away,
the sleeping youth started and
groaned beneath the sudden move

And now Mr.. Chichester stopped,
and taking the pistols. one by one.

attentive eye, which done, he crossed
to a darkened window and, BURST

and leveled one of the weapons,
steadying his wrist upon the sill.

slowly the shadows heightened

done many and many a time before

very silent, very still, and very
patient.
But all at once, as he watched,
saw the rigid figure grow
suddenly alert. saw the right arm
raised slowly, stealthily. saw the
pistol gleam as it was levelled across
the sill; for now, upon the quiet
rose a sound faint and far. yet that
grew, the on-coming rustic of leaves.
Then. even as Barnabas stared
down wide-eyed, the rigid figure
the deadly pistol-hand
was snatched back, and
Mr.. Chichester leapt to his feet. He
stood a moment hesitating as one
at a sudden loss, then crossing to
the unconscious form of Barry
maine, he set the pistol under his
lax hand, turned, and vanished into
the shadow.

BANGOR, Me-, January 30.-From
the wilderness beyond Caucomgomac
Lake comes the story of how John Nc
Eachern rode q bear two miles and
came back with the bruins skin and IL
pounds of his flesh ready to be sliced
into steaks.
Had the story been told Of any other
man It might not be believed. but as
McEachern once fought q moose with
a fence rail and followed a wildcat into
a barn chamber, where he killed it with
q pitchfork, the people up North see
nothing surprising in the announce
ment that he rode the biggest bear ever
killed at CaucomgOmac and came home
unharmed and victorious.
McEachern has line of traps around
the head Of the lake and the other day
went out with companion. Neil Rus
SELL to see what he had caught. Nc
Eachern took along his rifle, and not
until he was miles from the camp did
he recall that it was loaded only with
duckshot-nine to q shell--which would
not much more than tickle q bear in
case he should meet such game. But
rather than walk back to camp. he
kept on, being q half mile ahead Of
Russell.
Bear B0unces Out
When McEachern came in sight of
the first trap he saw q big bear In It
and ran up to finish the animal. but
just then another bear larger than the
one in the trap, bounced out of the
bushes and made straight for him. Nc
Eachern, having no time to consider
the matter let drive with the duckshot
There was a double charge of powder
behind the duckshot and the old rifle
sent McEachern sprawling.
Thereupon the trapper learned Just
what charge Of duckshot does to a
bruin. 1t brings out the worst side of
his nature. The bear paused momen-
tarily. then turiously renewed his
charge.
McEachern did the only thing he
could do-ran for it. The bear fol-
lowed and showed much the greater
speed. Then, for about 10 minutes,
the man and the bear played tag among
the trees, until McEachern tripped on
a root and fell. The bear, close up,
stumbled on the same root and went
half down. McEachern in his excite
ment lost his footing again as quickly
as he had risen and fell across the bear
Before he had time to jump up the
bear was up and away. with snarls Of
rage and surprise. McEachern held on
with both hands gripped firmly into its
thick fur When the bear tried to
turn his head McEachern took strong
hold on the stubby ears.

tunities to blackmail legitimate business
and finance.
One suggestion which has just been
made by George May, prominent ac-
countant in New York, is that those
filing suits shall be bonded and that if
they lose in court they shall be re-
ouired to pay all the costs of those who
had to defend themselves againt attack.
A few provisions like these will diminish
the number of strike suits. which are,
after all, species of eXtortion.
The President has signifled his inten-
ton of sending the Dickinson report to
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency in both houses without recon-
mendation. except that it be used as a
basis Of new legislation. Out of it may
come a new securities law which will
