morning. He had planned
fishing trip along the f ninny brown
tream under the nhlcrs; but no sooner
fcad lie finished milking the cows than
Ills fnihet bad sent him to the barn loft
iwlth Instructions to shift sonic of the
liay from the untouched left mow to
the depleted right.
AEllly piece of -work It seemed to
&ndy, a mere pretext to keep hltn from
the brook; but he knew better than to
fiiscuss the matter with his father.
A long, lank, red-haired man was
iSIIIs Maeomber. There was no smoke
to his temper; just clear flame. And
nothing was surer to rouse It than to
Crumble over one's work. The Ma
combers changed hired men frequently.
The swallows rumbled In and out of
the loft door. The sunlight smote the
liay dust Into golden life. Grip, Andy's
dock-tailed mongrel, whined nnd pant
ed molstly nenr the bead of the stairs.
I The swallows and the -whining and
thoughts of hnppy, roving hired men
tilled Andy with miitlouous flushes; but
tie was ft Maeomber twig, after all,
although not fully inclined In the way
his father meant him to grow. So, al
though the dust reddened bis eyes nnd
blisters bit Into the palms of his hands
nd his arms' ached with the eternnl
Jab, heave and toss, he stuck silently
to his job.
Presently he saw his father come
rapidly round the corner of the chicken
yard. He looked up grimly nt his son.
"Has the dog been -with you all the
morning?" be asked.
"Yes, since C," said Andy.
' "That's -well for him. Came nlong
(with me if you want to see a sore piece
cf work. Maybe it'll bring home to you
the mischief of harboring a rascal
Cur."
They, picked up Merf, the new hired
Wan, on the way.
Ellis, Mert, Andy and Grip, the dog
lert, snuffing the wind, yet keeping
shrewdly in the background, crossed
In Indian file the shaggy orchard, the
Wet meadow, where the bobolinks
(were singing, and ascended the sudden
shoulder of the sheep hill pasture.
At the summit of the rise Maeomber
topped nnd pointed toward n clump
of feathery fingered little pines.
The two white bodies made a tragic
patch on the bright, bare hillside. Their
long, silky iibrous hair was blown
bout ns if by the breath of fear, nnd
Iflabbled with the stain so grimly vivid.
"Come back here, you brute!" said
Maeomber, sternly, as Grip crept for
ward, the wiry hackles rising on hit
Jicek. "You'd like to worrit 'cm, too,
I've no doubt.''
"Not he," said Andy, spiritedly. "It's
the scent of something besides blood
that makes him net that way."
lie went forward and bent over the
Bead sheep.
"No dog did It," lu said. "Come nnd
ce for yourself." Under the long coats
of the Merinos the flesh wns slashed
In deep, true furrows. The head of one
iwas) bent back at n sickening angle
that showed the neck bad been broken;
fcnt the throat, the invariable point of
a sheep-killing dog's attack, was un
touched .
"Bear!" announced the hired man,
With excitement.
That a bear had done the mischief
Maeomber was at last compelled to be
lieve. No dog of any breed known to
feim could have so mauled his victims.
The village soon learned that this
was no chance raid. Four days later
ffudson Appleyard'3 flock was attacked
nd a fine ewe dragged into the woods,
Where they found . i crow perched on
tier moist bones. It wns at the Merton
homestead that the murderer next ap
peared, and here he was seen in the
fcigh-handed assault. As old Grandad
Merton described him, no bear hr.d
ever been quite so black or so huge be
fore, and to cap the climax there was n
clash of spectral white on his broad
breast
i "When you see a b'ar marked that
Way," old Morton quavered, convinc
ingly, "you can make certain he's a
killer."
Science does not support old Merton's
theory. Experience J-as taught us that
most bears are timid and clownish
Creatures, who seek a living nlong the
line of least resistance; but through
come hereditary taint or some unfor
tunate twist given his nature when
young, the pariah of Greyhorn proved
most cunning and determined sheep
killer in spite of traps and armed
guards.
It was after the killing at Merton's
that they tracked him to the rugged
elopes of Greyhorn. The chase stopped
Where the scrubby timber died down to
few muscular-rooted first that sparse
")y dotted the lower buttresses of the
teak. Above was a chaos of. long'
seined rock, broken and bent at every
Conceivable angle, but still rearing up
ward a mighty mass, a broad-based,
jaked pyramid, whose sharp apex
Vemed to offer foothold t nothing
eu agile man a goat.

CARVER.
To attempt this stronghold seemed
a futile labor to the panting farmers,
especially as their mongrel dogs had
lost the scent on the wind-washed
rock.
Andy hud plenty of spare time nt his
disposal nt this season, and ho and
Grip put a pair of earnest heads to
gether, and vowed io oust the pariah
from his in Ir. The hoy soon gnve up
trying to truck the beast down out of
hand. He planned a waiting game.
A grent thrust of rock formed his ob
servatory. From It he could command
at close range the side that (ireyhorn
turned upon the village. AYIth glass
and rifle he spent many a morning and
long afternoon curled up In the rift;
but somehow he never saw the quarry,
although the continued mortality
among the Merinos proved that the
sly benst still went nnd came.
The hours were not tedious. About
him the mountains rolled their vast
bulks, full of shifting shadow nnd
daily changes of color. The penk of
Greyhorn wns particularly sensitive to
atmospheric conditions. At times it
sparkled like steel that had been par
tially rusted. Unsuspected giant like
nesses to human faces lenped into
sight. One could trace cities of rocks
In honeycomb clusters, with vein-like
roads radiating away from them.
When the sky wns overcast the peak
was of softest lavender. At sunset it
caught and held a rich spectrum of
colors.
One warm, windless afternoon Andy
saw the pniinh for the first time. The
heat had been intense at the farm, but
a current of air drew through the fun-nel-shnped
valley below the roost, and
the two watchers felt its invigorating
stir.
The gray roofs of the farmhouses on
the distant slopes sparkled like flakes
of mien In the sun. Squares of bronzed
pasture land inlnjd the jade of the roll
ing mountains. In one of those opens;
not far from the roost, a flock of sheep
were feeding to the listless accompani
ment of an old wether's bell.
Suddenly the drowsy tinkling changed
to n clninor of notes. The flock opened
like a fan nnd ran. leaping, down the
slopes, while the bell clanged madly
and a chorus of frightened bloating
rippled in the air.
A big blnck shape, close under the
trees of the forest, stood with one
paw on lis victim, nnd grinned with
bloody jaws nt the panic. Then with
a quick snap nt the dead sheep, he
lifted it and trotted back into the
woods.
The pariah evhV'ntly supped lienvllv.
He remained so long under cover flint
Andy began to fear lie had stolon nway
by some other route, but nt last lie saw
n slouching figure come out of the up-'
per firs nnd slowly ascend the bare
buttresses of Grevhorn.
With the glasses ho followed its
course ns it wound upward, now lost
in a long cleft, now reappearing on
som open shelf. By a devious path
the bear ascended to a black, ragged
face of rock, and against this blackness
vanished. Andy watched some mo
ments longer to make sure. Then be
shut up the glasses and stretched bis
cramped limbs. Ho knew now where
the pariah kept house.
Aftet milking the cows the next
morning, Andy went straight to the
harness room and lifted the rifle from
its pegs. From n long box where the
workmen engaged in excavating a cel
lar for the new barn kept their kits he
removed a small object which he
wrapped carefully iu cotton batting.
Then he sauntered with assumed in
difference into the driveway. He did
not wish to betray too much relish
for the business of bear hunting while
the keen eye of his father was upon
him.
The nir wns chill, with a premonition
of rain. In spite of rapid walking,
Andy did not feel very warm ns he
came out on the acclivities of the
mountain.
Tlus lank firs climbing nbove him
stood unusually black and forbidding,
like somber exclamntlon points. The
vast uplift of roeU had always seemed
to Andy more mysterious nnd awe-
luspiiing than its wooded brothers. It
was in its grimmest mood now, its tip
shrouded in n gray sea of storm clouds.
Half an hour of scrambling up the
low, broken ledges brought Andy to
the rocky face he had marked the day
before. A wide Y-shaped fissure
yawned at its base. The rubble be
fore it was trodden into a sort of
macadam. The dry, gray rib-bone of
a Iamb lay at one side, and Andy's
sharp eyes detected some coarse black
hairs clinging to the edges of the open
ing. He cocked the rifle, nnd stooping
somewhat, walked slowly Into the
fissure. It ran back straight and grad'
ually increasing in dimensions for a
surprising distance. In the half-dark'
ness Andy made out several dim gal
leries leading Into the main cave, but
investigation convinced him that the
bear had not passed through them.
Presently Grip, the silent, made a
little. low gurgling In his throat. Be
lanlly to the front, mincing like a t,
but his long lower Jw worked, lutf
two threads of saliva dripped from it.
Andy duelled the rank, stinging odor
himself, nnd his heart beat more rap
Idly, lie ordered Grip to heel in a
st'Tn whisper, and pulling a lilt of
cniidla from his pocket, lighted It with
lingers that were not quite steady.
Holding his lint behind the thime
and the rifle under one nrni, he wiilked
gently forward, until n deep, Inquiring
rumble satlslied hint that he had gone
far enough.
He moved the light, and It struck
two green, steady sparks out of tho
darkness ahead. Then he placed it
upon the floor, and stooii with rifle
ready and straining eyes. About the
greenish dots he presently distinguished
the outlines of a black, snarling face,
nnd lower down a vague whitish mark.
The pariah glared back at him with a
grinning snurl, and then retreated
softly round a sudden twist In the
gallery.
"No going round there for me."
thought Andy. "Old sly-hoots might
get me at uncomfortably close quar
ters." He unwrapped the cotton from the
wicked little dynamite cartridge and
set it gingerly lu a cleft In 1 lie rock
floor. 'Then he held the candle to the
snaky fuse. It Ignited, and a tiny
opnrk began to crawl spirally down
the coll.
Catching Grip by the collar. Andy
hurried buck toward the entrance. The
dog wns reluctant to leave, nnd nt
times Andy hnd to drag him along by
main force. Excited ns ho wns. he
paid no attention to his surroundings
until nil nt once he brought up against
a dead wall.
For the first time he noticed how ab
solutely dark was the place. Helens
lug Grip, he swept the wall with an
anxious band. He was In a cul-de-sac
at the end of one of the smaller side
galleries.
For a moment he hestltated, chilled
by the thought of the small red spark
crawling inexorably on Its errand.
Then, clutching Grip, he ran stumbling
down the pnssage.
Ho enme out Into the main chamber,
recognized it by its width, and turned
io the right. The fuse hnd been cut
to burn ten minutes. How much time
he had wasted or how far away lay
the entrance he could not tell.
It seemed any time, no time, since he
had left the pariah's lair. Itocks that
lie had not not iced before rose malicious
ly in his path nnd sent him sprawling.
The loose rubble slid like sand under
his feet, nnd lie enrromed nnlnst the
walls, cutting his hnnds nnd bruising
his shoulders.
Then, with n grent sigh, he felt the
nir sucked Inward. The next instnnt It
wns belched forth with n slinking roar,
nnd ho wns flung forwnrd upon bis
face with n force thnt stunned him.
An nnxlous whine nnd the swab of n
wet tongue convinced Andy thnt he
was stlil alive. He got up feebly, half
choked by the gaseous and earthy nir.
Leaning on Grip, he staggered for
ward nnd stumbled over the rifle. Ap
parently it had sustained no injury.
lie set tho hammer nt half-cock, nnd
using the gun as a staff, soon reached
the entrance.
He sat down on n flat rock nnd lifted
his face to the cooling rain that fell in
long, steely lines. Shaken nnd dizzy,
ho did not notice the purinh as be stuck
his lank-muzzled, 'wavering head from
tho fissure, until Grip, scenting the
wild-bcast smell, sprang up with a
furious challenge.
Andy stared nt the pariah, too as
tonished by the bear's escape to think
of shooting. Fortunately the pariah
was not feeling very well. He was
more dazed than Andy. With eyes
half-closed and month open he swayed
drunkenly nnd Inhaled greedily the re-
vivifying nir.
It seciued like taking nn unfair nd-
vantage of the grent benst to kill him
in his helpless state, but to spare him
meant the death of many innocent,
necessary sheep.
The range was too short to admit any
Inaccuracy of nim. The bullet passed
directly to tho brain, and the pnrinh
sank down quietly, dead ncross his1
own threshold. Youth's -Companion.

Webtter's Bill That Grew.
Daniel Websterwas never noted for
attention to detail in business matters.
His well-known fallings were often
tnken advantage of by unscrupulous
creditors, who gave no receipts for paid
bills, simply because they were not de
manded. Webster was well aware of
this, but it seemed to trouble him very
little.
On one occasion a creditor presented
a bill which seemed famlllnr, and
Webster asked: "Isn't this bill pretty
large?"
"I think not," replied the maker of It,
confidently.
"Well," said Webster, handing over
the money, "every time I have paid
that bill it has seemed to me a trifle

EVENING HAIItDRESSING.
The evening style in halrdresslng is
what Is sometimes known ns the court
Kyle, because it is the style required
by the court hnlrdresser. The linlr is
vnved, made glossy with an oil, waved
again and scented and then colffed
high. It Is broadest right at the very
top, so that a crown can be set upon
It, or a bandeau, or some other head or
nament. There is a distinct nrt in doing the
crown style of hnirdressing, nnd it is
not every woman who looks well In it.
The hair Is dressed very wide nnd is
gradually made to widen, if Hint can
be understood, until nt the very top,
where it Is widest. It Is dressed in n
tiny low knot, which is nlmost hidden
In the undulations of the linlr.
The low style of halrdresslng is for
women who need breadth in the lower
part of the face. It Is becoming to thin
face and to faces that nre n little
past' their youth. It is tho style to
wear with the collarless stock and just
the style to affect if one is going to a
luncheon. There are those who wear
It with low-necked evening dresses, nnd
it must be ndinittcd that It is very be
coming. The bare neck is not always
beautiful when viewed from the back.
Keep the hair clean and glossy.
Keep it slightly perfumed.
Keep It undulated, it undulations are
becoming to you.
Keep It always well dressed. A care
less snood is better In poetry than In
Tenlify, and a 'little knot tossed high on
top of the head mny do for Phyllis iu
the daisy field, but it will not do for
Aramantha in the drawing room.

THE DOLL FAIR.
A doll's fair Is always of the grealest
Interest to children, but It may bo no
less charming to grown people if it is
skilfully planned. Indeed, it mny be
more than n mere fnir, niid an admis
sion fee mny be charged that all may
come In, nt least to see what it is like.
Booths should be made to represent
the different rooms In n doll's hous?,
nnd those who serve in them may he
dressed to represent dolls. The first
booth mny be the kitchen, hung around
with snuoepnns, pots nnd kettles, with
n small range nnd kitchen table at the
back.
Tho dining room booth is managed by
some one dressed as a waitress doll,
nnd about the family table is seated a
group of dolls from father nnd mother
to the bnby. All the doll furniture and
the papier-mache food on the table
may be for sale ns well as tho dolls.
Tho third room, the parlor, has sofas,
tables and chairs, and here are tho
most fashionable doils, men, women
and most beautiful young lady dolls.
Beyond this may ho the nursery with
bnby dolls being bathed, dressed and
fed, with tho cradles, high chairs,
nurse dolls nnd furniture for sale; and
last there may bo the sick room, with
white enameled bedc nnd cribs and
lovely trained nurse dolls.
Besides these rooms, there mny be
booths with doll tableaux; n wedding,
of course; a Mdbnll game with players
in npproprlnte costume; n golf field
with players and caddies using or car
rying scarf-pin sticks; and tourist par
ties of dolls with suit cases and shawl
straps. Harper's Bazar.
THE CHILD'S NURSERY.
The requirement of a nursery or the
plnce set apart for the children nre
such ns will promote their growth nnd
development, tho same ns are required
by all life, from the lowest organisms
up to the most complex light and nir.
These are the great requisites of the
nursery. According to one's circum
stances space should be given also. If
In the city, the nursery should be high
up above the street. It should be n
kingdom in which the children are the
royal family nnd the arbiters of the
realm. The place should bs so remote
that the children can pursue their play
without disturbing any one or feeling
the curb of adult interference. Opcn
nlr nurseries on the roof are to be com
mended, particularly in large cities
where distances to nnd from the parks
nre grent. . The In-door nursery should
be bright and sunny. The human
plant, like those In the garden, must
have plenty of sunlight to develop
properly. There should be, therefore,
enough windows to let In the light nnd
air. If tho room is far nbove the street
grill work, high enough nnd strong
enough to prevent n child from falling
out, should be provided. The walls of
the nursery and the ceiilng should be
painted a pleasing color. The use of
paper of any kind Is a mistake, for the
nursery walls should be washed down
at least once n month to keep the room
sweet nnd clenn, and only a painted
wall will stniid such cleaning. The
furifiture should be such ns is ndapted
to the needs of the child. There should
he a refrigerator, particularly If there
are bottle-fed children. No.soiled linen
should be permitted to dry In the nur
sery. Dr. Grace Beckham Murray, In
the Delineator.
BEAUTY THROUGH SUFFERING.
You must suffer to be beautiful, ac
cording to n French saying. There
seems to be some truth in the state
ment, If a lady's maid In Furls is to be
believed. She has revealed the secrets
of her mistress' boudoir, or, rather, tor
ture chamber. The lady herself is now
beautiful, but one wonders that she is
alive. For months she lay flat on her
back on the floor, motionless, with her
arms close to her side, during several
hours every day. This was, It appears,
to Improve her figure. During the rest
of the day, for the same period of time,
she sat on n high stool rocking the
upper part of her body backward and
forward and from side to side unceas
ingly. By this process she is said to
have acquired a statusque throat nnd n
sylph's waist. The lady's nose, having
a soaring nature, was corrected and
made Grecian by the constant applica
tion, dny and night for months of n
spring bandage. One nostril was orig
nally larger than the other, so fhe
wore a small sponge In it. for n year.
Her chreks have been filled out nnd
rounded by injections of paraffin. Her
ears for months were compressed
against the sides of her head by
springs, while heavy weights were at
tached to the lobes to produce the re
quired elongated shape, wheh has been
successfully achieved. Having suffered
tliis complicated martyrdom for n year,
the lady, ns already stated, is i;ow
beautiful. Argonaut.
HOBBIES FOR HEALTH...
The lust thing in the world for
nervi s is sleep, the next proper food,
the third proper dress. But as good as
any one of these is a hobby.
How often does one hear th expres

spoken rather disparagingly? It is the
lendincy of the average mind to regard
a person -who has a pronounced enthu
siasm ns n species of harmless lunatic,
rather to be pitied. The truth of the
matter is that anyone who has any es
pecial fad is greatly to be envied, as It
probably provides more interest and
amusement for its possessor thnn any
thing else. Any decided interest In life,
whethrr it is dignified by the name of
an occupation or is simply an entl: i
asm, or even mentioned slightingly as a
fad. is eminently desirable.
