So the great beast trotted up to the little girl and cautiously pressed his cold black nose against her warm, red cheek. Maud, who though t the beas meant this for a kiss of welcome and who could never endure to see Sarah Ann slighted in-the least, at once held tbe doll up In front of his bearship, exclaim ing: 'here's Sarah Ann, kiss her, too." The bear, as If he understood the words, pressed his ncse to the face of the rubber doll, but quickly took it away again with a grunt «f disgust. As he did so his eyes caught sight of the lunch basket. In an instant he had poked his nose into it and, with a grunt of delight, began to devour its contents. Ilere, at last, he had found just what he was searching for. Maud was too much excited over the "big doggie" and Sarah Ann's expected ride to notice for a time what the bear was up to. But the moment she caught sight of her father's fast vanishing din ner, she made a grab for the basket, crying out angrily: "Stop, stop, you big, naughty dog! Stop, th aUs my pa's dinner! You sha'n't have it!" But bruin paid no attention what ever to the words of the angry girl. He held the basket firmly between his huge forepaws, with his head bent close down to it, while his great,, red jaws, full of long, sharp teeth, made quick work of the generous lunch within. In vain little Maud pulled and tugged at his long, shaggy hair in her endeav ors to get his head ont of the basket. In vain she threatened and cried. She was as helpless as a leaf in a whirl wind. The bear cared not at all for her pulling, her threatening, nor her cry ing. He was having a glorious feast, and never for a moment did he pause until the last morsel of Mr. Ovel's din ner had vanished down his capacious red throat Then with a contented grunt be stretched himself out on the ground for a nap. Doubtless he had Deen on a long Journey and was very tired. Maud by this time had pulled and tugged until Uer arms and legs ached, and bad cried aad scolded aud threat ened until she oould hardly speak for weariness. So what did she do when the bear stretched him- "'HERE'S IJLBIH ANN." teli out to go to sleep but throw her teli wearily down by his side, say ing: "You big, naughty dog, I'm goto' to stay right here 'til my pa comes an' tell him on you an' he'll whip you. Won't he, Sarah Ann?" and closely hugging tjie doll to her bosom the curly head of thft tired girl sank down, even as she Uttered the last words, upon the shaggy side of the great, black bear. In the meantime, Mr. Orel was busily at work in the "south clearin'." The Goon hour came and went, but it did not bring his little girl with the ex pected warm dinner. Mr. Ovel had worked very hard and was very hungry. At last he seated himself on the trunk of a tree which he liad jnst felled and, wiping the perspiration from bis brow, muttered: "I swun, I guess if (Bother knew how hungry I was she'd hustle up a little more." Then he took out his watch and glanced at it. "One o'clock an' Maud not here yet. Somo tbin' must have happened. I'd better go to th' house an" see what's the mat ter; besides I'm all-fired hungry an' I can get my dinner then," and the man, with :in anxious look upon his rugged face, picked up hi* ax and hastened down the path which led to his home. lie had almost re ached the oak tree when, r.uddenly, he stopped stock still and stared straight before him. while his face became as white as milk. lie saw a sight 'that would make any father's face pale. At the foot of the tree lay a large bear sound asleep and by his side, with her golden curls mingling with his rough, black hair, lay Maud, asleep or dead, the horrified father could not tell which from where he stood. What to do the poor man knew not! lie dared not wake the bear for fear, If his child yet lived, the monster would harm her; and he feared to leave her in her present perilous sit uation long enough to go to the house after his rifle. Mr. Ovel was a brave man with nerves of iron; but the scene before him taxed his bravery and coolness to the utter most. He stood for a moment gripping the handle of his ax, as if he would crush the hard wood between his fingers, and then, with a determined look upon his face, he began cautiously to approach the bear, from sueli a di rection that the trunk of the tree con cealed him from the sharp eyes of bruin, Should they chance to open. His plan THE AX BWISB NOISELESSLY, was a desperate one and should it fall, only his sharp ax would stand between him and death to himself and child. Slowly and so carefully that not even a twig snapped to betray his presence, the strong-armed woodsman neared the tree. At last he drew himself up directly behind it and listened intently. From the noise made by the bear's deep breathings he knew that tbo beast was still sleeping soundly. A softer sound fell also upon the father's ears and nerved him with redoubled strength and courage. It was the low, gentle breathings of his sleeping child. ■ With a fervent prayer to God for help, Mr. Oval stepped cautiously out from be hind the shelter of the tree and in a moment more stood at the head of tbe bear. The sharp ax swung noiselessly into the air and hung for a second, poised high above his right shoulder, while the piercing eyes noted the exact spot on the hairy head where the keen blade was to fall; then, like a Hash of ifriitfltwaiiß ttn.rtraswflsfl crash biffled itself In the head ot tne bear. Mr. Ovel did not wait to see what tbe effect of his blow was; but catching Maud up in his arms ran as fast as his stroßfr legs eonld carry him for the house. When he returned.shortly afterwards, with his rifle, he found the bear dead. The huge animal had hardly moved after the ax crashed into his skull and death must have Wen almost instan taneous. Mr. Ovel skinned the bear and used the pelt as a rug: and ever after this, when friends came to visit the Ovel family, little Maud would explain the presence of tbe bearskin rug to them in these words: "This is th' hor'id bear who stoled my pa's dinner an' my pa chopped his head open with an ax." and then she would add, with a merry laugh: "I an' .Sarah Ann thought he was a doggie an' we went to sleep right in his arms. 1 guess you never seed a little ffirl who Went to sleep in a l>ear's arms before, did you?" and. with a look which told how proud she was of this rare distinction, she would turn to Sarah Ann and for the thousandth time pour into her sympathetic rubber ears the story of their wonderful ad venture with the black bear. ALWIX JOVEXIL. HOW TO SMUGGLE BRANDY. The Ingenlou* Device Recently Discov ered by French Custom* Officer#. The French customs officers who are stationed at the gates of Paris to guard against exciseable goods entering with out paying the duty have occasionally to deal with very ingenious attempts at smuggling. An attempted fraud was laid bare which goes to show how fer tile the contrabandists are in expedi ents. At the Menilmontant gate a man in charge of a pony cart, in which were three large wooden boxes, attempted to pass the barriers. "Have you anything to declare?" asked one of the officials. "Nothing," said the man, "unless government has put a tax on cemetery wreaths," and as he spoke he drew the lid oft one of the boxes, revealing a number of the wreaths and crosses of artificial flowers 60 common in French burying grounds. The man was about to pass on when something about him aroused the suspicions of the chief offi cial. He took the cover off one of the boxes and admired the beauty of the flowers and their remarkable fidelity to nature. Lifting one casually in his hand, he found it was remarkably beavy, and closer examination showed that when stripped of flowers and moss it was a zinc case filled with the finest brandy. The rest of the contents of the boxes were of the same nature, and were at once confiscated. As frauds of the kind are severely punished by the Parisian authorities, the ingenious in ventor of the trick will probably be al lowed leisure enough in Mazas to de sign something novel.—Chicago Herald. —"Remember, my child, kind words can never die."

This is doubtless because of the slight facilities the mites have for traveling In such cases it might be profitable to destroy the badly af fected trees. It was thought at Ames, in the horticultural department, that trees treated with fungicide solutions were noticeably more free from mites: and it is quite possible that spraying with the copper solutions will be useful. —Cor.
