clasped her hands again, but without

For years there have been held up
before the boya and young men of
America the names of great heroes like
Washington, Grant, Lee, Lincoln and
* host of others. But back of these
heroes of sterling worth, little atten
tion ha* been paid to the mother in
the home, who, from the birth of her
hoy, has nought to train him In the
*ty of rlghteouanein and truth. Moth
ers have had more to do with the
ehaplng of the affalra of thta world
than most people have been willing to
admit.
Of the noble Saint Auguatlne we are
told that an a boy he was wild, reck
less nnd dissipated. Times without
number his father was discouraged
concerning him, but the lovely Monica,
Augustine's mother, kept faith In her
scy. nnd through every dissipation,
through every breach of confidence, be
lieved that some time her boy endowed
him. How she must have suffered,
however—pure, sweet spirit'that »he
was!— but when we read the dialogue
of Saint Augustine we do not remem
ber the real heroine In the home—the
mother, who made him what he was.
The mother of Charles Wesley was
once called upon to explain why she
kbored so long and faithfully "with
Charles." She had told her boy not
to do a certain thing - hltvteen times,
“/> ' he n for the twentieth time she
told him and gave as her explanation:

A
(This is the first American story by
the famous author published since his
return from the United States.)
BEAR had appeared ln the
neighborhood. It was flrst seen
by the children—an evening
when they were playing ball It sud
denly came out of the woode. shook
Its head, sniffed the air and growled.
The terrified children ran bock to the
:e. but the grown-up people would
jeliove them, for It was early In
August, and bears had never been seen
at that time of the year.
A few days later, however, the bear
appeared again outside the woods Just
as Forster, the stage driver, drove Into
the village. One of the horses was
frightened and bolted and Forster was
thrown from his seat and broke his
leg. The mail bags ware scattered all
over the road. This, of course, was
something, but It did not affect the
Interests of the village directly. The
mall bags were picked up, nothing had
been lost, and tbe bear was again for-
gotten.
First, when the wild beast killed
Crook’s cow the old man, known all
over aa "Red Jack," went,to Charley
Mann.
Mann was sitting on hla stoop, re
pairing a fox trap, when Jack came.
"How ore you. Charley?” said Jack,
and sat down on the stoop next to
him.
Charley looked up aleeplly, thought
a little and at last answered: "How
do you do. Jack?"
"You hare heard of the bear.” said
Jack,
Aa any sensible man, Charley never
answered without having thought for
a while. He continued filing on the
■prtng of the trap with an old rusty
file, then he looked up and said:
"You want to know. Jack Crooks, If
I have heard of the bear?"
"That Is Just what I want to know,'
Crooks replied.
Charley Mann laid the file aside, tried
the spring of the trap with his fingers,
blew some tilings away and began to
oil from a small dirty bottle.
"He does not shave himself very oft
en.” thought Crooks, looking at the
stiff bristles which covered Charley's
hollow cheeks. ,
"Yes, I have heard of him,” Charley
replied, nodding hla head. His gray
eyea rolled around behind the shaggy
brows aa he added itowly:
"People talk ao much, and one al
ways hears something.”
"But what do you think of It, Char
ley r asked Red Jack, who did not
like to waste time.
Charley kept on oiling the spring,
blew some Imaginary tilings away,
placed the trap In hla lap and looked
thoughtfully across the yellow, flat
flelda toward the woode, aa he replied
without moving a muscle of his facs:
"In August—! ao not think of bears
at all." .
“I am sure you have your good and
sufficient reasons for that.” said
Crooks, "but I think you might go out
and taka a shot at him. You know I
am no hunter, and everybody knows
ou are tbe only man that can kill
you i
him."
Charley stood up and straightened
his long, lanky muscular body. He
turned his scrawny, sunburned neck
right and left, stuck his hands In his
pockets and asked in a tone of sur
prise: "New—In August?"
"Yes, yes!” replied Crooks; "you see
he has begun to kill the stock."
Charley Mann let his head hang,
lifted his eyebrows and stared at Jack
In amusement. . .
"But I do not own any stock,” he
drawled. ,
Crooks understood now that he could
not make Charley see the neceeslty of
killing the bear In this way and
changed hla tactics. '
"Sure enough," said Jack ."You have
no atook. Charley," he nald, trying to put
a touching tone to his voice, "but you
have a boy and a girl. It la Just the
same to the bear—sheep or children—
he le not particular. Now. Charley,
when you think of the children—"
"I beg your pardon for Interrupting
you. Jack." said Charley, removing his
hands from his pockets. He preeaed
hie lips together, pushed hla shoulders
almost up to his ears and asked:
"Now. Jack Crooks, tell me why do
you think the bear should choose Juet
my children?" •
Red Jack was dumfounded by the
logic of this simple question. He open
ed his mouth and for a whole minute
was unable to say a word. He even " V lriml., Freeman.
Jumped to his feet and began to shake | M | M c„ r rte Nl Hrliemnler. of Alabama,
his head like a bull stung by a fly. I, th.- Ku ,..t of Miss Imn'tby Burpee.
Then he cried: Mr. sud Mra Joseph Hunua and little

Mann, the devil take me It you ain’t
Of'Course, there la no reason why the
bear should eat your children before
the others—I never thought of that.”
"No, you never thought of that. Jack
Crooks," chimed In the hunter.
When Red Jack went to Charity
Mann, he had thought the affair slm-
6 le enough. He would tell him of the
ear, Mann would take down hte gun,
go out In the woods and kill the beast,
and that would be the end of It. He
was a professional hunter, ao, of
course, that was his business. But
now everything came out quite dif
ferent Jack felt as If he had lost the
trail and did not know which way to
turn. x
“Ye-e-s,” he drawled slowly, "you
are right, Charley Mann, there la no
reason why your children should be
eaten first." Mann nodded his head
and beth remained silent for quite a
while staring Into tbe deptha of the
nearby woods.
Suddenly a bright Idea struck Jock.
He smiled and ln his friendliest voice
he began: "Charley, on general prin
ciples all children are a Joy to look
at when they play outside and are not
sick. Ain't that ao? Yours and mine
and Johnson'a are In danger of being
eaten up by the bear. They run all
over and there are ao many of them.”
Charley nodded thoughtfully.
•'There are always more children
than bears," he remarked.
"What do you mean by that?” Jack
asked after some deliberation.
Charley turned around slowly and
said without looking up:
"I say there are more children than
bears at all seasons."
Red Jack lowered hla head and tried
to figure out the hidden sense of these
words. After a while he asked:
"Do you mean to say, Charley, there
ain't enough for you In this affair with
the bear?"
Charley laid hla hand heavily on
Jack’s shoulder and said In a voice full
of reproach:
"It Is not right of you. Jack Crooks,
to say you think I am a damned fool.
I don't think I deserve that.”
"Why, Charley, I never meant any
offense, I assure you.”
Charley looked him straight ln the
eyea and said alowly:
"Now, look’ee here. Jack. You must
either be a fool yourself or think me
one when you ask me to shoot a bear
In August when the skin ain't worth
nothing. Goodby, Jack."
And he went Into his shanty to let
Jack figure out the Immensity of hi*
own stupidity.
