PLEASANT VALLEY
Di DADDY.

Occse gave Peggy "' ""W. " warm
rfkk tool them to the long ago.
Tien made peace between Indian
tribes, but Watampoo, the medicine
man. became ihexr enemy. They
,Mti tuo wild bears who promised
o talc them to Pleasant Valley.) .
Tlio Cuhi In tlio Cnvo
riEOOV nml Hilly found themselves
I alone on (lie uino tree hill with
Balky Knm and tlio two wild bears.
The bean, tlinnkful for having their
Hvei mkciI, had promised to tnko them
to riea'.atit Valley, n wonderful animal
pgrncINc where the birds and beasts of
long (iRO lived happily without danger
from savage Indians.
"Where Is Pleasant Valley?" asked
"Over the hills and far away, and
we'd better get started beforo the In
dians romp hunting us and our cubs,"
replied Father Hear. Peggy and Billy
freed Hint they should start at once,
for they remembered the threat of
Watnmpoo, the mcdlclno man. He had
been chased up a tree by Father Bear
and he had said that he would get
even.
Mother Hear looked doubtfully nt
Vcpty, Billy and Balky Sam.
"Do jou folks like Children?" she
iskod.
"Hee-haw I You bet wo do I" brayed
Balk) Sam. Both bears Mirank on ay in
alarm at the awful nolso ho made, for
tho bray of a mulo was unknown In the
woods long ago nnd to tho bears it was
as terrible as tho roar of a lion might
have been. Mother Bear eyed Balky
Ham fearfully and changed her question!
"I mean do you llko children just to
like them, not to cat them?" she asked,
for Uncle Sam was showing his teeth in
a hungry sort of way.
"Ilec-haw, I like children, but I
never tried eating one," grinned Balky
Sam.
"Do you like children just to like
them, not to beat them?" asked Father
Bear, remembering tho mighty kick
Balkv Sam had given him, boosting him
up tho trco when ho was going after
Peggy and Billy.
"Hcc-hawl I spank only bad chil
dren," brayed Balky Sam, tcaslngly,
for ho knew tho bears were asking nil
these questions before bringing out their
own precious cubs. "If your children
arc good "
"Of courno thev arc good," snorted
Mother Bear, and she called: "Oof!
Oof 1" at tho door of a cave.
There came an answering "Oof!

"Make a pretty bow," added Mother

"Thin Is Major," Mother Hear said,
proudly pointing to tho bov bear. "And

and sneezed ngnin. ,
"Major and Mlndr Hear. 1'vo heard
those names before," cried Hilly.
"Of course jou have. They nre
named after our forefathers up in the

"I1 know tho Hlg Bear and the
Utile Bear up near the North Htar,"
cried Tcggy, wliofco father hod told her

"To be Hiiro," grunted Father llenr.
"Wo romn from n very old nnd very
