lie was a cunning fellow, and lie put
out .in invest icat in" paw at the piece of

stead of frt'ttiii" a bullet in the head, he
merelv had a bit of his aw shot off.
There' were but two claws left on that
foot, as his bloody tracks showed.
"He pot off : but this experience
seemed to have soured his disjiosition.
He owed a spite to the settlement.
"One niiflit a prreat row was iiearu in
mv uncle's pitr jx-n. He and the boys
i rushed out with pitchforks, a pun and a
i lantern. They knew what the trouble
j was. or soon found out.
I "A hupe black lear had broken down
I the side of the jx-n ; he had seized a fat
j porker and was actually linrpins" him off
i in his arms. The pip was ku-kinp and
squealinp, but tla; be.tr had him fast.
He did not seem at all inclined to pive
up his prey, even when attacked. He
looked sullen and. uply. but a few jabs
from it pitchfork and a shot in theshoul
der convinced him that he was making
a mistake.
He dropped thepig and pot away be-
fore my uncle could load up for another
shot.
1 lie next morning they examined
I ins iracKs. it wiis t Mil i wo v iuws.
i "Hut w hat sp'ilt liim for being a quiet
j neiphlxir was something that happened
: about it year after that,
j There was a roving family of Indians
! encamped near the settlements; hunting,
j fish ing ami making moccasins and bas
. kets, which they traded with the whites,
j "'One afternoon the Hed-Sky-of-t he
i Morning, wifeof the Water-Snake-witli-1
the-T.onp-Tiiil. came toer to thesettle
l meiit w itii some of their truck for sale,
i She had. ;i papoose on her bark strapjied
; on a board ; another squaw traveled
i with her, carrying an empty jug.
'.Mmosf within sight of (iormnn's
grocery. Ked-Sky took ofY her pajNiose
' and hung it on a tree. The fellows
i around tiie store had made fun of it
' when she was there once before, so she
prfferred to leave it in the woods rather
than ex j Mise it to the coarse jokes of the
boys. The little thing was used to such
treatment. Whether earned or hung
: up. papoosoy never cried.
. "The squaws traded off the truck.
' ami bought, with other luxuries of civil-
i ization. a pallonof whisky. Theydrank
out of the jug. and then looked at more
poods. Tlien they drank again, and
from being shy and silent, as at first,
, they giggled and chatted like a couple
of silly while pirls. They spent a pood
deal more time and money at (iormnn's
1 than they would if it hadn't been for
the whisky, but finally they started to
go back through the woods. "
"They went chattering and gipglinp
to the tree where the papoose had been
left. There was no papoose there !
"This discovery sobered them. Thev
thought at first that the fellows around
the store had played them a trick by
taking it away; but by-am l-by the J.'ed-Sky-
:f-t he-Morning set up a shriek.
she had found the board not tar off,
but mpapoose strapped to it. only some
thing that told the story of what had
happened.
"'There were bear t racks around the
spot. Mie of the prints showed only
t wo claws.
"The Ked-sky-of-t he-Morning went
back to the croup with the news: the
other squaw foilov.id wilh ihejup.
"When 'he W;iTcr-Sn;d;e-w ilh-the-honp-tiiil
hei.i-d that his papoose had
been eaten by a bear, he felt. I suppose,
very much as any white father would
have felt under ) he circumstances. He
'Vowed vengeair.-e against Old Two
Claws, hut consoled himself with a drink
of tht: lire-water before startim' on the
hunt.
"The braves with him followed his
example. It wasn't in Indian nature
to start until they had emptied the jug.
so it happened lhat Old Two Claws' got
off again. Tipsy braves can't follow a
trail worth it cent.
"Not very long after that a worn, m in
'. it neighboring settlement heard her
children sen-am on day in the woods
near the house, she rushed out, ami
actually saw a hear lugging off her
youngest.
"She was a sickly, frehie sort of a
woman, but such a sight was rnouph to
pive her the strength and courage of a
man. She ran and caught up an ae.
. Luckily she had a big dog. The two
Went iit the bear.
"The old fellow had no notice of los
ing his dinner just for a woman and a
monpie ,t.r. p,u; sj.,. s.t,-,.k him a
tremendous blow on the back ; at the
same time the imp pot hini by the leg.
, He dropped the young one to defend
himself, she caught it up ami ran,
leaving the two beasts to have it out. to
gether. "Tht: bear made short work with the
'; cur. but instead of follow ing the woman
;md child, he skulked off into the woods.
""The M-tth-rs got together for a grand
hunt ; but !d Two ( 'laws for I he t rucks
showed that lie was the scoundrel es
caped into the mountains and lived to
make more trouble another day.
"The child '. Oh, the child win-si-arce-,
ly hurt. It had got squeezed ami scratch
ed it little in the iina! tussle: that wasall.
"'As to the bear, lie was next heard of
in our setilt nit-lit. "
The hostler hesitated, winked his one
eye with an odd expression, put a fresh
quid into his cheek, ami finally resumed:
"A brother-in-law of my uncle, a man
: of the name of Hush, was one d.iv cho
! ping in the woods aUuit half a mile from
