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 You are a bright fellow, Charley sou Irnva returned (rout Tbususloa. 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. NEWNAN. Mra Calvin Holmes, of Allsuta, Is the attest of her parents, C'sptsln snd Mrs. Ilslwrsbara Kino.
