But there's always a profit on it if you manage right,” she added, cheerfully On the way home Billy's thoughts centered upon summer boarders. If there were only some way of persuad- ‘ing them to come to his mother's house! There were two spare rooms, decently furnished and every one said his mother was a “natural-born” cook. But what attractions could he offer in place of such impossible luxuries as his aunt wag able to afford? Noth- ing except the great, overtowering mountain, with its trout brooks and its one traditional bear—which many professed to have seen and at which a few had shot, When Bllly reached home, he sald to his mother: “MH you had boarders, mother, how much would you charge them?" ” “That depends,” she answered, with. ot much Interest. “Aunt Sue gets from seven to ten dollars a week.

Two days they beat the mountain slopes in search of the bear; but a traditional bear that one still roams the forests of Little Hawk. The young men joked Billy a good deal about the bear, but on the last day of their vacation, when they had strolled to the hilltop for a last view of the distant lake, Cornish sald fo Dalton: “The little fellow a gun, at ours? bear." Dalton laughed. “There's a village boy who offers a muzzleloader for five dollars,” he sald. That afternoon they sought out the village boy and secured the gun, and in the evening, just before leav. ing for their train, Cornish gave it to Billy, with an elaborate presenta: tion epeech. “But you oughtn’t to give it to me!” eried the boy. 1 haven't done a thing for you; it's all been fun for me.” “Never mind,” =ald Dalton, “Al we ask Is that when he come back fo stay with you next summer, you have a bearskin to show us.” : The Allens’ “summer season” did not close for three weeks longer, On ought to have Did you see how he looked Maybe he could kill the ton sent a friend of theirs with his two young sons, i The upshot of it all was that with the returns from Billy's boarders and the money that Bmma earned at the canning factory, where she had had more work than usual, the Allens tided over thelr hard times.
