A BRAVE
FOOL
By ESTHER VANDEVEER
George Carroll was sauntering ncross
n flold as frco from enro as tho day ho
was born. LIo was looking up nt the
eky, over which white clouds wcro sail
ing as lazily as he walked. IIo was
n city chap, who had been ordered by
his physician to go to the country, even
though tho January winds were blow
ing cold, and recuperate. Tic was
thinking as ho walked what a hum
drum thing life was, to bo sure, how
free from any kind of rlsQyjr excite
ment his own individual life was and
how when he wns "bowled over," as ho
expressed It, It would probably be by
an animalcule, so small thai lie could
not seo It, entering his system, In
creasing and multiplying vigorously,
the colony at last eating him up.
Strange it is how often fate is doing
with us what wo least suspect. At tho
moment this Inst Idea entered George
Cnrroll's brain n death dealing force
was driving at him from behind. A
shadow, accompanied by tho sound of
horso'B hoofs, shot transversely boforo
him. Turning, ho saw a girl on horse
back In n red coat, moving between
him and n bull that was making for
him, tho girl glancing backward as she
rodo to observe tho bull. Sho was
about to turn and ride back again
when tho bull caught sight of her,
abandoned tho straight line ho was fol
lowing In tho direction of tho man nnd
turned his attention to tho girl.
Now, George In regard to all mat
ters pertaining to the country was
very stupid. IIo did not rcallzo that
ho was or had been In any danger. He
did not gather from what ho saw that
this girl, seeing tho bull going for him.
had leaped a fenco nnd ridden between
him and his enemy for tho purpose
of turning tho nnlmal from him to her
self. Instead of thus taking in the
situation uimI getting out of tho field
as soon ns possible, ho stood looking
at tho bull chnslng tho girl.
Tho Inclosuro wns about ten ncres.
and Gcorgo stood near tho middle of It.
Tho girl led tho bull as far ns posslblo
from him, then turned nnd, eluding tho
nnlmal dexterously as a torendor.
galloped away In tho opposlto direc
tion. By thnt time It began to dnwn
upon the city man that the horse nnd
tho girl wore being pursued by the
bull for the purpose of goring. Hut
not ovon yet did he reiillzo thnt she
had tnkon this danger upon herself for
tho purpose of saving his life: thatliad
It not been for her n pair of horns
would hnvo taken him In the back,
broken it and tho enrthly spark of his
existence would have gone out, forever.
What occupied George Carroll's
mind to tho exclusion of all else vnn
the danger that threatened the girl and
what ho could do to relieve her from
her perilous position Tho only thing
lie could do was to ruii for tho fence
nB fast as his legs could carry him and
climb over it. If ho had done this the
vglrl would have made her exit uh she
had made her entrance by urging her
horso over Unit same fence. Sho was
wnltlng for lilin to got out of tho Held
before securing her own safety.
It is singular how a brave tnnn mny
bo a fool, or, rather. Is not u good deal
of what we call bravery folly? George
by his stupidity was leaving both him
self and the girl In danger. She could
see him stnndtug there piping at her.
but was so close pressed that she was
unable to make n sign to him to lly
for his life.' Nenrlng the opposlto end
of tho Held, she turned her head to
see George running toward her! She
could hnvo Jumped the fence, but
when sho saw the man she was trying
to save hurrying again Into danger, in
stead of saving herself she turned
about and started again across the
Held. If she went near tho man the
bull might leave her and turn upon
him. So sho galloped diagonally across
tho field, making an effort .it a sign
for him to leave It Hut lie did not
understand and. turning, continued his
pursuit of her.
Then followed ovents in such quick
Biiccesslon-Ro quid: that Georgo could
scarcely separate them. IIo saw the
horso stumblo nnd fall: he saw the
bull's horns go Into the horse's belly;
he heard a report, and the bull, too.
fell to tho ground. A man dropped a
gun. dashed to tho fence and, Jumping
It. ran to where tho girl was trying to
get up from the ground. Georgo and
the man reached her at tho same time.
Tho man lifted her up. and sho stood
on her feet
i "Are you killed?" asked tho man.
"No; not even hurt"
Then the man turned to Georgo.
"For heaven's sake," ho cried, "how
In the world have you escaped tho fool
killer nil theso years?"
"IIo's not a fool at all," said tho
girl; "ho's a brave man. Ho didn't rcal
lzo his own danger, ho was so intent
upon mine."
.When George Cnrroll realized what
tho girl had dono for him and how hu
had stupidly come very near being tho
cause of her death he was paralyzed.
As It was, he had been tho cause of
tno loss of her horso and a bull worth
$100 had been shot. Fortunately
George had a fortune und could repair
tho monetary damage. The rest of it
could not be paid for In that way.
Hut fate, when George was walking
across the Hold regretting the unevent
ful tenor or his life, had another pur
pose. All this chain of events was
but one of fate's tricks to mnko n
inntch. The girl reaped her rownrd
by helping George spend this Income.
BAFFLEDTHE BEAR
Exciting Domestic Event In the
Early Days of Vermont.
TALE OF AN ALL NIGHT SIEGE.
An Ugly Visitor That Gave Horself a
Warm Reception In a Settler's Cabin,
a Quick Retreat by tho Inmates and
n Display of Presence of Mind.
Two of tho first English settlers in
tho town of Addison, Vt, were John
Strong and Zadok Everest. Early in
the fall of 1770 Strong and Everest
had to go to Albany for provisions.
Pioneer women seldom Worried, but
for some reason Mollv Stronir felt un.
easy after her husband had gone. Sho
und her sons got In n good supply of
fuel and did the chores ourly.
When they enmo back to tho cabin
tho baby was crying for his supper,
nnd Mrs. Strong gnvo him n cup of
warm milk nnd sat him down in front
of tho fireplace. Sho had Just swung
tho kettle or samp from tho flro when
she heard n noise. Looking round, sho
saw the blanket that served for u door
swing asldo ns n great bear thrust her
head Into tho room. Tho children
screamed, nnd tho bear backed out in
hnste, but Molly Strong know thnt sho
would return.
"Quick, children!" sho said ns sho
caught up tho baby. "Climb tho lad
der. Let sister go up first, now John
nie, now Frank hurry, hurryl"
When the others wero snfo in tho loft
Mrs. Strong climbed up with tho baby
nnd drow tho ladder after her. Sho
laid it across tho hole, and then she
nnd tho children snt down nnd waited.
Tho floor of tho loft wns mado of
round poles laid closely together, but
not fastened. It wns dangerous to
movo noouc on it.
Peering down through tho polo fioor,
they listened nnd wntchod for tho boar
to como back. They could hear her
moving round tho house, nnd onco a
big paw crashed through tho oiled pa
per at tho window hole. FInnlly sho
catno to tho door nnd, nfter blinking
uncertainly nt tho fire, walked In. Two
cubs followed her. Tho old bear pres
ently upset tho pan of milk on tho ta
ble, nnd tho cubs begnn to lap It up
eagerly.
"I'd Ilko n tnsto of that myself."
Frank whispered.
"So would I," Johnnlo replied. "I'm
awful hungry."
Next, the bear found tho pudding
kotllo und took n mouthful of tho boll
lng Ramp. Jumping back with a cry
or pain and rugo, sho broko tho pot
with n swift blow of her paw, and then
snt up on her haunches, growling nnd
whining, nnd began to dig tho pud
ding out of her mouth. Tho cubs snt
nnd watched her in grave wonder.
That wns too much for tho children,
who burst Into laughter. Instantly tho
benr gnvo a loud roar and rushed to
wnrd tho hole with tho ladder across
It Mrs. Strong gnvo hurried orders:
"Get mo a pole. Frank, quick! Now.
get nnothor, Punch her if sho tries to
climb up. Ho careful. Don't fall
through."
Tho baby, awakened by tho noise, be
gan to wall, and Mrs. Strong soothed
him with one hand while with the
polo in tho other she warded off the
bear. Tho llttlo girl clung crying to
her mother's skirts, but tho boys each
hnd a long pole nnd prodded tiie bear
through tho rungs of tho ladder. The
bli brute Hunlly shullled off toward the
door. She pulled down tho blanket
und toro it Into shreds: then sho went
out, followed by her cubs.
"Sho's gone!" Johnnlo said. "Do
you think sho'll como back, mother?
"I expect she will. son. but we can
manege her If wo keep awake."
"I Won't go to sleep!" groaned John
nie. "I'm too hungry I"
Nevertheless, the silent wnlt in the
dimly lighted loft made them nil
drowsy, and before the bear returned
Mrs. Strong know by their heavy
breathing that tho children were
asleep. It was near midnight when
tho bear enmo In and renewed her ef
forts to reach tho loft Mrs. Strong
rapped her sharply with her pole, and
thoro was a roar that brought tho boys
to their foot.
Dazed and only half nwnke. Johnnlo
ran across the loft Ills foot slipped
into n gap between tho poles, nnd ns he
fell other poles spread npart Down ho
wont Into the room with tho bear and
her cubs. The bear did not seo him
fall, but she faced about at tho noise
nnd stnrted toward him.
Quick as n Hash, Mrs. Strong brought
her polo down on the nearest cub and
pinned him to the tloor. The bear
turned to rescue her squealing off
Bprlug, nnd Frank drew his brother up
Into the loft unharmed.
No Injury to herself could have
weakened tho old bcur'B courage like
tho attack on her cub, nnd although
nt Intervals sho slouched in nnd out or
tho cabin, she mndo no further at
tempt to reach tho loft As It grow
light, Mrs. Strong, watching through
tho chinks In tho wall, saw her lend
her cubs across the clearing Into the
woods.
As soon as she thought It safe she
lowered tho ladder and tho family caino
down. They saw no moro of tho bear,
nnd when Mr. Strong came homo he
mado the cabin secure with n door
made from bnsswood slabs and hung
on wooden hinges. Youth's Compan

turn your blow. Ho nolther forgives
you nor allows you to forglvo your

A New Amsterdam
New Year
By F. A. MITCHEL
Now Year's day has changed in n gen
crntlon from what It wns for 300 or
moro years. Till some thirty years ago
it was devoted to making calls. Tho
Dutchmen who settled New York, then
cnlled New Amsterdam, early in tho
seventeenth century, brought tho cus
tom with them from Ilollnnd. On the
first New Yenr's day in the llttlo town
nestling about tho fort on tho point of
Manhattan Islnnd probably not n hun
dred, possibly not fifty, men made
calls.
From where tho Now York cus
tom house now stands east, west and
north, for n dlstnnco perhaps of 500
yards, which embraced tho town, on
Jan. 1, tho good housewives having
spent tho previous week in scrubbing,
swooping, dusting nnd polishing their
homes, put on nil tho petticoats they
possessed and in cap and collar sat
themselves down In their parlors to re
ceive callers.
Now, the day before one of tho ear
liest of those Now Year's days n bar
gain wns struck between Kntrina Van
Gaasbcck and her mother. Frau Van
Gnasbeck wished her daughter to mar
ry Dledrlch Van Duson. a rich shin-
owner, while Katrlna preferred An
thony Van Horn, a young fur trader. I
havo cnlled the former of theso men n
rich shipowner, nnd ho certainly wns,
for ho was the possessor of a sloop
fully thirty feet long, on which ho car
ried supplies to tho settlers along tho
East river ns far as Doll Gnto and along
tho North river as far as Spuyten Duy
vll. Tho bickerings between mother and
dnughter had for months past been
embittering tho life of tho husband
and father, Peter Van Gaasbcck. No
sooner did ho como homo from Ids
work In tho evening, pour out a cup of
schnapps and light his pipe than tho
clatter commenced, nnd ho was driven
distracted. On this day boforo Now
Year's that has been mentioned when
tho turmoil commenced he cried out:
"Settle this matter between you, or.
by St. Nlcholns. I will go back to Hol
land on tho next shin that sails, leav
ing you two hero to fight it out!"
"How scttlo It?" asked mother and
dnughter nt onco.
"Tomorrow will bo Now Year's day.
Somo time between morning and even
ing Dledrlch Vnn Duson nnd Anthony
van Horn will each mnko n call here.
Let It be agreed between you that the
one who calls nearest to tho stroke of
tho town clock nt noon shnll bo the
favored suitor."
Frau Vnn Gaas'beck was loath to ac
cept this arrangement, for sho did not
trust her dnughter. and Katrlna was
lonth to accept It becauso she did not
trust her mother, but each consented,
thinking horself sufficiently shnrp to
outwit tho other.
Then Peter settled himself to his
bottle of schnnpps and his pipe with
great contentment
Before 0 o'clock thnt night, when all
Now Amsterdnmers wero in bed. the
suitors had each been informed by tho
ono who favored him of the arrange
ment nnd instructed to make his call
at the moment tho clock struck 12.
Dledrlch Vnn Dusen nroso nt cockcrow
and spent the time between then und
noon watching the hands of tho town
clock. At 8 he put on n second pair of
breeches, and every half hour nfter
that ho put on another pnlr. so that
by 11 o'clock ho was so Incased that
ho resembled n hogshead of gin set
upon end on n couple of bricks.
At five minutes of 12 he cast u last
glanco at the clock and proceeded to
tho house of Frau Van Dusen. no was
received with smiles by both mother
nnd daughter, which made him feel
very comfortable, for his rival was not
there. It being a minute or two of 12
o'clock, nnd he hnd certainly won. He
did not benr the clock strike, for Kn
trlnn talked so loudly that ho could not
hnvo heard a gun tired on tho Battery,
but n hundred yards distant When he
hnd been in tho house half nn hour he
withdrew, giving plnco to other callers.
Dledrlch Vnn Dusen went homo nnd
was taking off some of his breeches,
laughing gleernlly nt having got abend
or his rival, when ho heard tho town
clock strlko 1.
"It is 1 of tho clock," ho said.
IIo had scarcely spoken when there
enmo another stroke. IIo stopped, with
a pair of breeches half off, and listen
ed. There wns another nnd nnothor
fitroko. When ho hnd couuted cloven
ho paled, nnd when tho twelfth came
ho was beside himself with nnxlety.
Pulling on tho breeches thnt ho had
half removed, ho went outside nnd
looked nt tho clock. Tho hands stood
nt 12. Ilmmlng to Frau Van Duson's.
ho looked In through a window and
saw his rival with a sausngo In one
hand nnd n cup of schnnpps in tho oth
er. As ho looked Anthony swallowed
tho schnapps.
Dledrlch declared that something had
gone wrong with tho clock, but every
body said:
"How many calls lid you made,
Dledrlch, nnd how mucf- "Unapps had
you drunk?"
So the poor innn got no satisfaction
After the wedding between Anthony
nnd Kntrina the brldo confessed that
her lover, stationed In tho belfry, had
seen Dledrlch cnll nnd had then set
tho clock bnck. When Dledrlch went
nwny Anthony put tho clock nt live
minutes of 12, then went down, to nr.
rtvo at tho Van Dusons" exactly nt tho
stroke of 12.
