Treed Ay a Bear-
One pleasant morning, in tlie
latter part oftho inoiitli dt October,
throe boys might have been soon
climbing a wooded hillside that
roae abruptly from one oftho little
clearings.
But the boys did not notice the
beauties ol such a picture. Each
carried a small hag, not unlike our
common tahlosuU sacks, aud they
seemed to he in a hurry.
From their ocnvdivatioii, it was
evident they were going to gather
chestnuts. The two younger mem
bers of the party were lull ol lun
and activ ity, belonging to the quiet
household at the cabin we nave
just surveyed. Their names were
Henry and Wallace Douglas, and
their ages e.evon and uiue years
respectively.
The other was a larger and
irmn ge r Jt tirT I ,“S fS'FPra-TTlTPtD tWYtTa is
ol age, the son of a sturdy settler
living about two imlei»to the west*
ward. His name was Welcome
Dumont.
TLwvy were a merry company ;
and as they hurried along the
chcstnut-ridge, stopping now and
ilieu to gatheru huhdlul ol nuts,
the lores! resounded witli their
jov’al voices.
“Let’e go over to “Tyler Hill,”’
said Welcome, after they had tra
versed the ridge without finding
mauy nuts. “Yon don’t know any
thing about bow thick the chest
nuts afe. Father and I were over
■♦her# ahttto ‘while, day before yes.
terday, and wo picked up a pailful
in just nb time; The ground was
covered with them.”
“But you know mother said we
must not go beyond the ridge,”
said Wallace.
“Phaw!” replied Welcome; “sho
won’t care; aud besides, she’ll nev
er know it. We II get, our sacks
fu'l aud he back in a couple ol
hours. Come on!”
Wal'ace hesitated. But when
Henry whispered in his ear that
it would be all right, he hall reluc
tantly consented, und they hound
ed down the southern declivity in
high glee.
An hour later, they vero uway
over upon Tyler Hill, nearly two
miles fl out home.
Finally, when the sun was close
to the Western horizon, they came
out. upon a high rocky ledge near
a little clearing. A small log-cabin,
with a sharp roof ol slabs and a
single-sash window in the side near
the door, appeared iu the diminu
tive opening.
Before the door, a man clad in
primitive pioneer costume, with
hunting shirt of tow cloth and coon
skin cap, was busy Cutting fire
wood. The sound of the regular
measured strokes of the axe rang
through tho woods und awoke the
echoes of the hill on tlie other side
of tire creek. Near him lay a large
dog, apparently indulgingiu aquiot
nap.
Approaching the brink of the
ledge, the hoys stood for a few
raome.its gazing upon (he rugged
declivity below. Two great hum-
locks had been blown down a few
months previous, and their broken
tops lay iu a commingled mass
against the base of tho ledge.
Welcome picked upa large stone
and hurled it from the brow of the
precipice. It struck a projecting
crag, and bounding outward,plung
ed into tlie tangled windfall with a
loud crash.
Instantly a dark object leaped
from beuoath the rnattod boughs,
aud disappeared around an angle
of the rock. The settler’s dog com*
mencod harking, uud tho sound of
the axe suddenly ceased.
The boys drew back and silent
ly looked into each other’s face,
asifto inquire what they should
do.
“Did you see it?” whispered
Welcome, as he involuntarily took
tho hand ol W allnco, and stopped
back a couple of puces.
“Yes,’’ reviled Henry, somowhut
agitated. “What do you suppose it
way 7”
“I don't know,” said Welcome;
“butlguess it was a bear.”
“Wliv, no, it wu’n’t; it was a
black hog,” suid little Wallace,
earnestly; “hat I saw him run out
of the bru-hditap.’’
“Lit’* go into the clearing,”
said Welcome, neivously clutching
Wallace’s hand and starting for
ward. “I don’t care to stay hers
any longer, anyhow.”
They tiad hardly tuken a dozen
steps when a huge black hear
cam*around a cori|«r of tlie ledge
and bristlidg up, saluted them with
an angry growl.
The hoys paused, trembling with
fear, for the savages bouHt stood
directly before them. Two sleek-
looklng cubs halted just beyond
her, apparently as much frighte lod
us the boys. Tho hour, embolden
ed by tho hesitancy of tho lads,
advuucod slowly toward them,
with another low, threatening
growl.
Their first impulse was to turn
and run,but Welcome Knew enough
of the brute’* ualuca tu pause. ,
“Hold!” lie whispered; “don't
run. The hear lias been distill bed,
arid if we run she will rueli upon
us and tear us in pieces.”
Just behind them was a small,
scrubby beech, with branches low
down. Welcomo seized litlle Wal
lace and raised him up to the lower
branches.
“i litub up into the tree—quick!”
he cried out. “Henry, go up and
help him. Climb lor your lives I”
The movement seemed to arouso
tho fierce boast to a frenzy. Sho
dashed back und forth before them,
all the tiino drawing nearer and
nearer, uttering shot t,angry growls
showing her white tusks, and with
the hair on her shoulders raised
aud pointed forward like bristles.
Welcome saw that uot a moment
w'as to be lost. His companions
were well up iu the tree. Tho bear
drew nearer, and was about to
close iu upon him, when he grasp-
ed.au overhanging limb and swung
himself up into tho branches.
It was well ho did bo, tor the
next moment the bear dashed
around the tree, and, rising upon
her haunches, bit and tore the burk
in u savage manner. Then sur
veying the sceue for a minute or
two, she commenced climbing up
alter them.
Welcome had supposed that the
bear could not clirrpj a small tree,
and he was not a little surprised )
as well as frightened, to seo his
enemy following close to his heels.
He had not taken into consider -
ation the fact that the numerous
branches putting forth so near the
ground afforded as ready a ladder
for the brute as for themselves
There was now no retreat. As
Welcome reached his trembling
companions, the top of the little
tree swayed fearfully, and bent far
over, threatening io break beneath
their united weight. The bear was
now almost upon them, growling
and snarling frightfully.
Little V\ allace began to cry.

- r “I wish we hadn't eomo here”
he sobbed, “Oh, dear, I didn't wait
t* come—I didn't I”
Suddenly, u largo dog came run
ning through the woods, with bis
uose to the ground, and awaking
the echoes of tho forest with his
l<fW baying,
The bear pAusod. At that mo-
input a man came running toward

was old NVuyniun, the hunter,
while cutting wood he had heard
the growls of the hear, and rightly
judging that there was mischief
nfoot, he had taken his gun and
dog and gone to the rescue.
Th« two cubs were shot, and
then ho took his hunting knife and
proceeded to take off their skins,
Tho boys were so thoroughly
frightened they dared not go home
alone, I hoy stayed and helped
carry in tho incut, and after supper
the kiud old man rollee upa piece,
and, taking down his tin lantern,
set out to accompany them homo.
It was dark in the deep woods,
and long before they reached homo
they met Mr. Dumont and Mr.
Douglas, in search of their lost
children.
The meeting was joyful, but not
{b mor^no than tlie one at tho Doug-
nffrrnluff biter,
when the hoys met their mother.
At a glance they saw she had
been weeping. •'
“Oh, mother I” cried Wallace,
throwing his arms about lior nock,
while the tears streamed down bis
clioekH. “1 didn’t want to go; in
deed, I didn’t. Wo didn’t obey you
and we’ve boon almost outen up.
But We will never do so again,
’i ou ll forgive us, mother, won’t
you?”
Of course she forgave them; and
from that hour, the boys resolved
nover to disobey her uguiu.
