' London Life of Juno 1(5 ( makes the follow-
'Ing comment upon a beautiful reproduction
of a full-length photograph of Mme. Pattl
which it presents to its readers with that
number : "Our portrait this week is nf the
preat diva whoso incomparable voice bus
rightly gained for her thu title of 'Queen of
Bong. ' As hut one great planet rises upon
thu hoi-iron in the coursu of a generation , so
but ono Mmo. Pattl shines as the bright
particular star in the firmament of music of
our time.
"Mmo. Pattl , for by that name the sub
ject of our pictorial supplement is still best
Known , ri'shles cbiclly at Craig-y-Nos
castle in South Wales. In this 'lordly
pleasure liouso' she nnd her husband , Slg.
Nlcoliiii , delight in dispensing a hospitality
which bellts their beautiful home. Those
who have had tlio pleasure of vhiting Cralg-
y-Nos , hardly know how to express -
press their admiration of every
thing to bo seen. The grounds
are most exquisitely kept and laid out , while
In the interior of the eastlo all thu arrange
ments are carried on with a clockwork regu
larity which leaves the comfort of no guest
uncnred for , though everything goes with
ruch case of routine that it seems as though
the plaeo veritably managed Itself. In the
midst of u scene of romantic clmrni and
beauty ono is surrounded by all thu luxuries
nnd conveniences which modern science can
afford. Ono llnds , for instance , artificial lish
ponds full of varied sport for any angler ,
while gas and electric power g oratcu on
the spot give light ami warmth at the word
Df command.
Such is thu-beautiful home of the charm
ing lady whoso thrilling volcu has echoed in
the hearts of millions of men nnd women ,
and who has established herself a name in
the history of music which will bo known to
ull future generations. "

Oscnot.A , Nob. , July 8.-To the Kdltor of
Tun BUR : I see tn Tun Br.n of July 1 , nn
extract of a lecture by Hon. J , M. Thurston ,
Which I shall nttortTpl to criticise through
'
your paper. " *
Drydensays : ITbtng a layman , I ought
not to have coneo'ntel myself with specula
tions which bcloiigto the profession. "
But It seems Urrfft ? If n lawyer has a Heht
to preach , n layman has tha right to criticise
his sermon. T f
As n lawyer anl | m-ator , Brother Thuraton ,
you are hold In vcry > hlgh esteem , but ns n
preacher you are a decided failure.
You first try to prove that our secular laws
are based on the dlvlnn law of Christianity
by asserting that "Jurisprudence is the
scloncoof law ; religion is the Jurisprudence
ofdtvinoluw , ThodivmoluwofChristianity
Is based upon three essential beliefs , etc. "
Now wo utlder.staml science Is true knowl
edge. Then Jurisprudence would be n true
knowledge of law. While you truly say ,
"Tlio divine law of Christianity is based on
bolicf , etc. " any ono can see nt a glaneo
from your own showing that our human law
is based on truth , knowledge , fact , while the
so-callrd dlvlno law of Christianity Is based
on faith , or belief.
Now wo understand , in speaking of the
"dlvlno law , " you have reference to the
blblo , for tlioro Is where the Christians got
their evidence for tholr bcllofi Now wo un
derstand that human law is based on truth ,
knowledge , fact ; the so-called dlvlno lav Is
based on belief.
Thcro is a great difference between knowl
edge and faith.
You say "from the earliest history of thn
common law down to the present day not
only has the law itself boon based upon the
law of God , but all legal forms nnd proceed
ings have been so constituted and devised as
to continually assert and keep before the
public eye his power , etc. "
Now to show how untenable this assertion
In , lot us compare the two laws. Wo road in
God's law , the blblo , that there nro no de
grees in tlio punishment for crime. The
man that picks up u bundle ot sticks to
warm himself on tlio Sabbath has to suffer
death , the same ns the man who willfully and
deliberately takes tbollfoof his follow being.
Human law has degrees in punishment ; dl-
vine law says It is lawful to take usury from
a stranger , sno Dout. xxlii. , 20. Human law
snys it is unlawful to take usury ; divlno law
punishes the Innocent with the guilty. Head
Gun. vi , 7. What crimes had little prattling
babes committed that they should bo pun-
ishcd ? Human law considers every man In
nocent till ho is proven guilty ; dlvino law
says "If any man will sue thco at the law
and take away coat , lot him have thy cloak
also. Matt , v10. . Human law demands
nothing but Justice ; divine law law says
"tako no thought for your llfo , what ye shall
cat , or what ye shall drink , etc. " Matt , vi ,
25. Human law punishes vagrants who
won't provide lor themselves ; divine law
accepts thu sacrifice of innocent blood us uu
atonement for thu guilty. Human law de
mands a Just retribution from the guilty ,
and lets thu innocent go freo. Human law
Is based on justice and equity ; where dlvino
coincides with Justice and equity it coincides
with human law.
But again , my dear sir , you enter into tlio
arena of debate and ty | to defend the "bo
licf" on which you | say the dlvlno law Is
based by assorting that "there are two un
answerable , conclusive proofs of the exist
ence of a God. " " Yimr llrst proof is "Tho
routed is proof positiVe of a creator. "
Now thu question I arises. What is the
meaning of the woud "create ? " Webster
defines it thus : "T ) bring into bning ; to
form out of nothing ; o cause to exist. " The
church gave this delii ition to the word long
before Webster's timo. Ho only reiterated
the current definition
Now , my friend , f you will prove that
this is the correct < oHnitlon , then wo will
concede ttint your proof is unanswerable.
For nothing short of "a creator could create
or maku something from nothing. But will
you dare defend that definition ? Unless you
do your watch theory fulls to tbo ground ,
from the fact thutihero is a vast differouco
between making or forming something out
of material already on hand and forming it
out of nothing" ' " But for argument's aako
suppose wo admit that there is a
creator , und that ho created the uni-
vcrso of worlds out of nothing. Then in
that case there must have been a beginning ,
ns the bible says "In the beginning God
orcatod the heaven ami the earth. " Then
the questions como up : vVhat was the Cre
ator doing before the beginning , nnd what
caused him to commence the mighty plan of
creating suns and worlds und planets ? Mil
ton foresaw this difllculty when ho asked
tho.solemn question , "What cause moved the
Creator , in His holy rest through all eternity ,
so late to build in chaosl" Wo have no doubt
but this thought stirred the great mind of
Milton to its very depths. Now reason
teaches us that the cause is greater than the
effect produced. Then wo KIIOW if the unl-
verse of matter was crouton by u creator ,
there must have been a cause to produce
that effect. Then if that bo a fact , there
must have boon a creator , greater than tlio
creator , that created the universe out of
nothing. Don't you see you would have an
infinite number of creators ?
My dear sir , you will have to como to the
conclusion the old woman did when she said
tlio earth stood on u reck , She got to think
ing wlmt that rock stood on , and she came
to the conclusion that there was rock all the
way down.
You pronounce the saying of nn "elcg-int
Ingcrsoll" untrue , nnd maku the assertion
that "all forms of sun worship , the earliest
idolatry of nearly ull races , arose from the
adoration of tlio sun , not as u god itself , but
thu most glorious representation und adora
tion of God. "
Now , my dear sir , I presume the Christians
will not thank you for tills expression , from
the fact that if man has always believed In
the existence of God , and all idolaters and
sun worshiper..aro adoring their idols as tlio
most glorious representation and creation of
u God , why Is not the worship of u true God
through the Him and other idols just as ac
ceptable to Him as the worship of a true
God through the Virgin Mary or her Son ?
Why do people spend so much money try
ing to convert the heathen If they are wor
shipping the true and living God , through the
sun , otc.t
If tlio children of Israel were worshiping
the true God through the golden calf , why
were U.IXK ) of God's , chosen people put to
death ? If the prophets of Baal were wor
shiping thu true God through Baal , why did
good old Elijah slay 450 of Baal's prophotsr {
You make thu broad assertion that "law
yors hiivo always boun , nnd are today , ilrn
believers in and supporters of the great doe-
trine of the Christian religion , " ami then
assort that "Judges , attorneys , etc , , are
swori in thu name of Cod to do their duty.1'
True , my friend , you do tills in the face of a
positive command from your I ord und Mus
ter to "swear not , ut all. " tHuad Mutt ,
v.n : toi7. :
Please turn to tho. .eleventh chapter of
Luke and read whut-Jpsus said about you
lawyers. Now , my dour fair , It .seems that
lawyers uruliku prerfohers ; they can't koo |
from misrepresenting , heir opponents. Will
you please toll wliortami . when Colonel In
gersoll said "death ends all ! "
I can Jlnd where ho'says ; "If wo are im
mortal it is a I'aet in 'nature , " I can lind
wnoro ho says : "Wodo not know whether

"from thu voieelessjiin uf thu unrcplying
dead there comes no word ; but in the night
of du.ith hope sees u-tilur und listening loyu
can hour tlio rustle of , u > wing. "
Now , in conclusion- : ] imagine I can see
the tear drops wellingivip in your eyes , when
you uttered tbo folla vjng pathetic words ;
"Lei the sun , moon uui ( stars fade away and
darkness cover the loyjullness and beauty of
the earth ; take from mo Ullriches , power
and honor ; let friends desert mound kin

troubled faith and blessed hope that bomo
time , somehow In God's good time , I may
clasp in my foid ) arms thu resurrected
forms , und kiss with Impassioned lips the
glorilled faces ol my boiovcd dead. "
When you finished this grandiloquent
pot-oration did the thought oour to you that
there wus a possibility if thu bibluis truu
that you might have to tuxu this "kiss" in

in the Boole of Havolntionst
Did you take time to think that your "be

Hydrophobia Skunk * Which Attnrk Slurp
ing Camper * .
"It is not the rattlesnake or tarantula
whoso hlto IH most dreaded by campers-
out on the far western plains. .Tho
hunters and cowboys nro far moro afraid
of the skunk , and that for a reason that
might astonish a great many people who
do not know the plains uountrv. "
The land surveyor from Now Me.xieo
wan talking. A Now York Sun reporter ,
who was one of the group sitting with
him at a table In the Murray Hill eafe ,
at llrst thought he was "queering" the
party , but the surveyor went on in per
fect seriousness.
"Like the prairie dog aud badger , the
bkunk of the plains make * its hole In
thn open prairie. In size and markings
and characteristics , moans of defense
and offense , it closely resembles its' rela
tives In the east. Like them , It Is car
nivorous , nnd prowls about at night for
small birds and mice and insects , and ,
when occasion nerves , is nn inveterate
robber of poultry yarda. If a person
comes upon It away from its hole the
skunk doesn't ' waste its energies In tryIng -
Ing to run away , but impolitely turns its
face from the intruder and stands its
ground with conlldonco that no ono will
oo tempted to approach too near. It
is its fearlessness of man that
makes this wretched little boast
such a terror , for It will boldly enter -
tor a tent or come anywhere that per
sons are asleep on the ground , and If it
finds nothing about that bettor suits its
taste , will begin without hesitation to
cat at the hand , face , or any other part
of a sleeper's person that chances to bo
oxpiHcd. This would bo bud enough of
itself , for the creature's weasel tooth are
ihart ) as knives , and a man man lind
'
lilms'elf badly lacerated when ho fully
wakes to wiiat is going on. But the
mastering horror of the skunk's bite
comes from the fact that It almost in-
. uriably results in hydrophobia to the
, 'ictim. "Wny this should'oe I can't pro-
.end to explain , and probably nobody
else can toll ; but every plainsman knows
It , and the cowboys dread the beast
worse than they do the rattlesnake.
' 'Tho period shown by the army rec
ords in which the greatest number of
tooplodiod from this cause on the plains
was between the years 1871 and 1875.
During this time many persons were
'ritton. most of them fatally. Colonel
II. .T. Dodge of the regular army , who
died the other day , know by report of
sixteen cases , every ono of which proved
"atal. Ono army doctor , Assistant Sur
geon Janoway , stationed at Fort Hugo ,
reported in the Medical Journal cloven
cases that ho treated or know of , in ton
of which tbo patient died of hydro
phobia. It wus in these yours that the
bulTalo practically was exterminated ,
and the hunters and tholr outfits of ,
helpers , living upon the open prairie
nnd sleeping in the open air , were
peculiarly exposed to the attaaks of
those vicious night prowlers. For four
years the plains country was noisome
with the carcasses of bulTalo killed for
their skins and tongues and loft on
the prairie. Gray wolves and coyotes
and foxes had unwonted feasting in this
vast slaughter yard , and that "ciroum-
Btancu may have had something to do
with the fact that many of these beasts
ran mud , sometimes dashing into settle
ments and encampments , attacking every
living thing they mot and causing great
havoc of human as well as brute life.
As to whether skunks run mad , which
some plainsmen hold to bo tlio cause of
their frequent Invasion of sleeping people -
plo , or at least of the venom of their
bite , has never been fully determined.
But the expectation of nnding incut
ready at hand to feast on , with no
trouble to themselves , which condition
existed twenty years ago wherever a
bulTalo hunter had been shooting , might
naturally have made them unusually
fearless , and made them unwilling to
hunt for their natural food when they
could find so good a chunco as would bo
olTorcd by a sleeping man.
"Still , every year numbers of persons
are bitten by skunks on the plains east
of the Rooky .mountains and west of the
ninety-seventh meridian , and some cases
prove fatal , but I am inclined to think
that there are fewer deaths from skunk
bites now than there used to be. Since
the country has practically boon turned
into 0110 vast cattle range tlio poisonous
little beasts have boon killed oil' to some
extent for their skins , and the fuct that
they are hunted may have made thorn
whyor. Perhaps , also , tholr bite is less
venomous than in tlio days of indis
criminate bull'alo slaughter.
"It is now about twenty years sineo
the cowboy of the Texas Panhandle
made his famous ride for llfo. Hu was
bitten by a skunk while sleeping by his
camp lire , and reali/.ed all his danger.
Some of his companions rumomburud to
have heard that 500 miles away , in a
town of eastern Kansas , there lived the
owner of a famous "madstono , " reputed
to possess the DOWOIof drawing thu
poison from wounds made by snakes or
rabid animals. Night and day the cow
boy rode at full Hpee.d for this town and
siifoty. At every ranch where ho halted
ho found a willing exchange of a fresh
horse for his. tired animal , and his journey
noy was tireless. It was a race for llfo ,
and ho won. Ho rcuchod his destination
on the third day , the "nmdisioiio" was
applied to thu wound , and , after adher
ing for days , at luit fell oil and'would
stick no longer , und the owner of the
Htono pronounced him cured. Whether
through this treatment or from natural
causes , the wound healed with no further
trouble , and he returned to liis herding
in the Panhandle with tlriu faith in the
madstono und the thunkfulno.ss of ono
who 1ms escaped a horrible death , "

BATTIKWITHA DEAR ,
. m fruntt'i-o r. < f
It VIM almost Hundown and two pros-
ppotor.i , named Charles Wilson nnd
Hurry l'itsonvoro , returning to their
Dump with provisions. They hail boon
twenty-live inllos to obtain what they
hud on tholr horses' backs ami wore
Kind they were Hearing camp , where
they could rust after tlio hot journey
across tlio pining of the Santa Cruz valley -
loy In Arl/.onti.
f ho sun wa * ] ii3t sinking bohtiul the
mountains when they cnmo in night of
their touts. Suddenly both howa *
stopped and throw up tholr ears nnd
commenced to pant , The two mon know
in an Instant , that there must bo some
sort of wild boast in wight , and btralnod
tholr oyoa to HOD what it was.
They couldn't see anything , but. their
dog ran ahead burking and disappeared
behind a tout. A moment later they
heard growls and squeals , and hastily
tying tholr horses , ran ahead to take
part in the fun. But they were too lute ,
for the beast heard them coining , and
when they got to thn plaeo It had gene
crashing through the woods with the
dog after It. The men both know that
it was too late to follow with safety ,
and , besides , they were exhausted trom
their long rldo , so they culled the dog
buck , but made up tholr minds to go
after their visitor early in the morning.
This was all well enough , but they
didn't know just what that visitor was ,
nor where ho hud gono. But It made no
dllToroneo anyhow , because the visitor
eamo hack before morning and they had
all they wanted and only by a streak of
luck escaped with tholr lives.
It did not take long to cook supper
and smoke a pipe full of tobacco , after
which both retired to tholr tents , whloli
were only a few feet apart. Charley
wont to sloop in a few minutes , but
woke up a few hours later. What dis
turbed him ho nould not toll , and ho lis
tened intently , but alt was silent. Ho
turned ever to go to sleep again , but
somehow felt nervous nnd restless , and
at last got up and went to the door of
his tent and looked out. The moon was
shining brightly and a gentle breath of
air moved the branches of the trees , so
that the light through the leaves danced
and quivered.
It looked peaceful and there was not
tlio slightest suggestion that such a
thing as danger was no"ar. Charley was
about turning to go back into his tent
when it struck him as.qucor that the
tlog was not around , as that member of
the parly was always on the watch at
night. Ho listened awhile and then gave
a low whistle. The dog did not come ,
and ho knew at once that Koniuthlng
must be wrong. Ho then called loudly ,
and at the same time culled Harry , but
only the soft wind moving among the
leaves answered him.
Now a feeling of fear came ever him
and ho felt sure that something had
happened that awakened him , but not ,
soon enough for him to realize it. Ho
ran to Harry's tent to awaken him , but
found his bed empty. There was no
doubt now but there had been trouble
and possibly a tragedy.
Charley went back to his tent anil got ,
into liis clothes as quickly as possible ,
and grabbing his rille went out to look
for signs of a light. There was none
visible , so ho started in the direction ho
had heard the animal go through the
brush the night before.
Silence was never moro profound and
Charley stopped every few minutes to
listen for some sound that would guido
him in the direction of his missing
friend.
Ho then commenced to call as. loudly
as he .could , but'no answering voice
came back. And so ho climbed over the
hills in all directions , strainintf his eyes
in the hope of seeing something through
tlio faint moonlight. Ho had returned
to the camp twice in tlio hope that
Harry might have come back. On the
lust trip there ho looked through his
partner's tout and was surprised to sco
all his clothes and weapons in their ac
customed places. It was plain now that
something strange had happened , and
he started over tlio hills again with his
riilo cocked. Ho felt sure that tlio
animal that came to the camp in the
evening had something to do with the
disappearance of Harry and the dog.
This time ho kept in the same direc
tion , and had traveled ever an hour
when ho heard the bark of a dog. Ho
was not sure that it was their dog , but
ho hoped that it was , and at any rate ho
started in the direction from which the
sound seemed to come.
The bark grow louder all the time ,
and it sepmod as if tlio dog was amrry
and furious. There were snaps and
snaps , and then it seemed to stop , as if
ho was chewing something.
As Charley got nearer ho could hear
tlio growl of some largo boast mingle
with tno dog's bark , and ho quickened
his stops. Ho stumbled ever rocks and
fallen trees and at last came to an open
space at the foot of a hill , whore the
barking seemed"Co bo. Ho strained his
eyes several moments before hu distin
guished any moving ( Iguro in the dim
moonlight , although the growling and
barking sounded very near. At last ho
made out a dark jlguro that moved
slowly , and ho wont in that direction on
a run. A fewhundred yards and ho
was in the thick ot the disturbance.
Ho saw a grizzly she bear at least
eight foot high standing on its hind legs
and carrying the limn body of a man in
its fore paws. His dog was snapping at
the buar'ti'hams , and a well grown cub
was near by doing all it could to keep
away from the dog.
Charley know in an instant that it
must bo Harry and that the bear had
gene into his tent and carried him elf ,
and that the dog followed do all it could
to nave its master.
At lirat ho thought that Harry must
bo dead , but ho called to him and got u
low moan for an answer. The bear also
found out that It had another antagonist
and for a moinont stood still , us if
making up her mind what to do. U'ho
dog saw that hulp was near and in
creased the fury of his attacks on tlio
boar , while the cub cumo In close to Its
mother.
Charley was watching his chance to
got in a shot with his rillo so as not to
put Harry in danger , but it was very
dilllcult and ho moved about from ono
place to another. At last the old bear
dropped Harry on the ground , when the
cub jumped on him to hold him down ,
and wont for Charley , who llred almost
at random , us ho was a little surprised
at the sudden change in alTalrs. Hut
tlio shot took olTcct , for the old bear
fell to the ground a moinont , but got up
and came to the attack with great fury.
Charlie looked ever toward Harry and
MIW that ho was attempting to rise to
bin foot , but appeared too wonk to do HO.
The dog had attacked the cub and kept
It from doing any harm. It was too
largo for the dog to kill , but ho could
"pull its trousers , " a * hunters say , and
that Is something a hour will not stand ,
Ho soon got the cub quite a dlstunco
from Harry , when Churlio looked ever
und HUW that ho was safe.
It was only a momentary glunco , us ho
hud all ho could do with the old bear ,
and know that if uho ever got hold oi
him U was all up with him , as bho was
in u terrible state of fury.
.She had lxoa ; hunod in some way by
the iirst shot , and Hurry was looking
for a chance to put a bullet where il
would do thu most good , but ho did not
have much time to select a spot , as the
old boar was boon jumping for him , Ho
also rommcmood to jump to hoop out o
her way , but managed to end sovcrni
bulbls Into her Indy , all of which fallod
to roach any vital spot. Five times ha
liri'd , and the clumsy creature was drip
ping with blood , hut It uld not foom nt
all Inclined to Mop tint proooedlngs.
The moon was now getting low and a
black veil was coming ever the landscape -
scape , so that Charley could not dlstln-
gulsh his friend , but could hoar the
s-ninu old sounds of { 'fowling and fltfht-
Ing.When
When Charley pulled the lever of his
rlllo for thonixthsnota fooling of horror
came ooihim br-caine it "stunk and
would not close. It was too dark to t > co
what the dlllleulty wa ? , so ho pulled and
jerked at it in the hope that ho might
jar It tn o a condition ot working ; but
his olTorts failed and the old boar was in
ferocious us ovor. But what wai to bo -4
donn ? 7
Ho had neither knlfonor .revolvcrand
it would not do to save his own Hfo by
running away and leaving his frhmds to
certain death. In fact such an tdoii was
not In his head for an Instant before ho
had clubbed his rlllo and commenced to
beat the bear ever the ribs when ho
could manage to got in u blow. But ho
might us well have struck at a halo of
hay. HO IHHo effect did his blows have
on the monster. It was hot work and
soon his arms got weak , and when ho
struck a blow that missed the creature
his rlllo How from his bunds and ho was
defenseless.
The grizzly saw her advantage and
made a terrific rush , which Charley
could only avoid by lllght. Hut ho did
not run any farther than the nearest
tree , which ho climbed just in time to
escape the ferocious animal's clnws.
Things now looked serious , and for
several moment * Charley wondered
what ho would have to do next , lie
know that , ho was wife from the ocar. as
she could not climb the tree , and that
when daylight came ho would possibly
have a chance to escape by running.
Hut his partner was in as great danger
as over if the old boar took a notion to
attack him. But Charley made up his
mind that if tiho did this ho would get
down and go for Ills rillo and renew the
light.
But the bear had no intention of leav
ing the man that had wounded her and
commenced clawing the tree as If she
wanted to tear it to pieces. She run
around the tree In a frenzy and then ,
putting her forelegs about it , com
menced to shake it as hard as she could.
The tieo was ( load and rotten , and
Charley could feel it givo. Little by
little it trembled and then commenced
to shako from top to bottom. . It did not
seem possible that one would bo able to
move it , but there was a sudden forward - _ j N
ward movement , then came a cracking * "C
of wood , followed by a crash and Ixsforo
Charley could jump in any way to save
himself ho had fallen to the ground
with the tree. Ho fell from the
branches and struck the ground hard ,
so that he was stunned for moment . ,
and when ho came to ho expected to
find the boar on top of him.
That he didn't ' was something of a sur-
iriso , but when ho looked around hu
ilimly saw his antagonist u few foot oft" ,
struggling to free herself from the
trunk of the tree , which HIO hid ; pulled
on top of herself.
It was not verv heavy , and she would
liavo succeeded In her cllort had not
Jharloy picked himself up and got hold
of a largo atone that ho held in his
hands and struck the bear ever the
heud with It. The blow only stunned
her for a moment , but ho struck her sev
eral times and soon she lay quiet.
Ho knew that she would bo uncon
scious for several minutes , so he run for
liis rille and then went to see how Harry
was getting along. Ho found tilings
just as ho loft thorn , and wont for the
cub , which was still keeping the dog
busy. A few blows with the rillo soon
put the little follow to sleep for good , as
the heavy barrel crushed his thin skull
as if it was a china bowl.
When the cub lay still the dog did
not neom the least exhausted , but went
to where the old bear was under the
tree to see how she was getting along.
She 'was still unconscious , to ho lay
down near by to wait until she came to ,
as ho could toll that she was not dead.
Hut this novel- happened , because
Charley , as soon as ho saw that Harry
wus all right , managed to tix his rille ho
that he could shoot with it , and put a
couple of bullets into the bear's heart
us she lay under the trunk of the tree.
This on.dcd the light , and Charley and
the dog wont to where Harry was lying
and sat down for a moment to breathe.
Hurry was very weak , but there woru
no bones broken. Ho was scratched
about the arms and face , but the terri
ble squeezing ho received had bruised
his chest and crushed his lungs until ho
could hardly breathe. Ho said that hu
didn't know what had happened to him
tlll ho felt the boar dragging him out of
bed and carrying him olT. Ho struggled ,
but of course it did no good , and had it
not been for Charley waking up hu
would , no doubt , have been devoured.
While they were talking the dog had
gene to sleep , but suddenly pricked up
his oars and listened. Ho hoard a nolsu
and started for a pile of rocks a few
hundred foot away , where it was evident
that ho found something from the way ,
ho commenced to bark. \ Ju
Charley did not fool much like doing
any moro hunting , but ho took his rillo
in a moment and ran to the spot. Uut
it didn't amount to much. Only a lame
bear cub in a very deep rilt in the rocks.
Tlio little follow iust about hud room
to turn around and could hardly Jiuvo
got out by himself , even if ho hud not
boon hum * . Charley could have killed
him. but concluded to lot him llvo and
como after him mmio time.
When ho wont back and talked with
Harry about it they both agreed that
the cub was a brother to the one that
had been killed. It was also clear that
tlio old she bear had intended Harry as
a meal for the youngster and would
have thrown him down to bo oaten.
Charley obtained HOIIIO water at a
water hole near by , and In an hour
Hurry wus strong enough to stand on his
foot and bo helped homo. Ho Is still
siok in bed from the olToct of his hug
ging , but is getting better all the timo.
Charley wont after the cub the next
day , and hois now ohuinod up in front
of Harry's tent. Hois quite tame und

never looks at him as ho rolls ever play
