HIUSa50 AR0U3, JULY 8t, 1904 I A Widow, & Girl 1 I And a. Bear I C. . LEWIS " (I Ctopyrtfht, 1MB, br T. & McTlur ( I Beside owulo froi of hundred tore tbc widow Jenkins m th pos sessor of a om horned cow, three legged (beep and tsnie beer. All were curiosities In their wsj, but th cow and the sheep hare nothing to do with this story. As the side show men say, they ars thrown In without eitra cost, and It la up to the bear to enter Win the audience. Besides owning a farm of nearly 200 acres, situated about half a tulle be low the widow Jenkins', Squire Pari waa the proprietor of the ouly wind mill for ten miles around and the fa ther of a son twenty-two years old named Harry. The windmill wss a good thing In It way, but It will be blown out of this story at ouoe and make no reappearance. The squire was a pompous, aggressive sort of man who wanted to do all the bossing and have other people do all the mind ing, while the widow was a woman with a mind of her own and dldnt propose to be wslked on by anybody. It thus came about that soon after she was left a widow she and the squire clsshed. No lawsuit followed, but It waa a bad thing for the cattle and pigs that strayed over the boundary tines, and there was always something doing to furnish the neighbors with talk. 1 The relations between the squire and the widow had been strained for three br four years when two new charac ters came into the rsst A smart, good looking girl named Betty Lee came to lire with the widow, and she hadn't been there two weeks when Harry Pa vis saw and fell In tore with her. The son had tried to stand neutral in the quarrel, though naturally leaning to ward his father's side. Perhaps one reason why be rouldu't be brought to think altogether ill of the widow was on account of her bear. She had bought the animal of a stroller who bad been taken sick and shipped to a dis tant town. It was big black bear, full of tricks and good nature, and It bad taken a great liking to Harry When the quarrel reached a certain stage of bitterness he had to .part with the bear as well as the widow. The separation bad lasted two years or more when Betty Lee arrived. month later the young man was visit Inc the widow, the girl and the bear and enjoying each and every occasion. These visits were unknown to the father, of course, and he did not die- TBS agcnti rcBHEp psli asd shook n HIS CBAIB. cover them until rumor said that his on was going to marry Betty and that the widow Jenkins bad brought tilings about to spite him. n'oung man. Is It so or is It notr be demanded of Harry after Inviting him out to the barn for a talk. "I love Betty and am going to marry per," was the reply. .. "Tou'll never do It with my consent" "But I am of age, father." vTben I'll cast you off. If you marry tout girl yon cease to be a son of mine and shall never get a cent of this prop- any . Harry didn't indulge in any heroics. On the contrary, he took the matter so quietly that his father chuckled to sunseir and believed that he had Bained a victory In the Brst round. Hs let it be known that he expected Har ry to cease his visits to the farmhouse, but at the same tfme he was prepared to close his eyes for a time and give me boy a chance to retire with dignity. Things went on for three mouths with out anything further being sald-that U, while It was said on all sides that Harry and Betty would be married on Thanksgiving day the talk did not reach the squire's ears until one even tag in October. He was a man who acted on Impulse. He determined to go straight over to the widow's and settle things his way within fifteen minute of arriving. Ttoe widow's bear had no particular grudge against tbe squire, but he was a watchdog as well as a bear. He bad been turned out that evening to roam around and see that all was well, and When be suddenly discovered Squire Davis coming cross lots through tbe fcarnyard It was only natural that he g&ould fasten his teeth In the farmer's trousers lag and conduct him to tbe tfaor of toe bouse. Tbe squire didn't gat re at bulla or tramps or mad dogs, but be drew tbe line at bears. He was In a cold fright when be reached the bouse, and tbe widow added to it by aUowlng the bear to follow him In and t-t up before bint and growl and show t " toetb. Harry bad come courting as ctal, and of course tbe position was S'ulnu'frTT'f'g fur a C01pl6 Of nHnutes. Li i' 'Jt bat lasted longer but Mr the ' se of mind of the widow. She i Ct.t": bear bad dealt ber a t t" 11 fta proceeded to . j lix.-i 'mci'.X" ; 7 t.i to see you," she said ' am' 'Widow Tonllba, aa "perhaj jrou know. This young lady Is nj ftrtvud. ' Miss Lee. and the young geiUmau 1 there Is your son Harry. The bear has i Introduced himself, but I wish to say 1 on hla behalf that he la achlug to make mince meat of you." j 'Harry, what are you doing heref hoarsely demanded the rattier. "Courting Betty, sir," was the rply, "We are soon to be msrried. and I w as going to tell you of It In a day or two." "MarrW to that girl never! You will remember that I told you" Tbe bear reared up and growled om inously, and tbe squire turned pale ami shook In bis chair. "Tou'musl nof talk so loud," cautiou ed the widow. "Bumbo has got one of his savage fits on. sud I can't bold him, Whafa the matter with Mlxa Lee that you don't want Harry to marry berT" "I don't waut him to marry any uue lUUowr - ' i "DouTyoul Down. Bumbo! Well as the two are lu love and engaged, I think they will marry, and you will be very silly to Interfere, Don't move your legs or Bumbo will have theiu . "Why don't you call off your blamed old bear when you see that be 1 ready to eat mr ahaklngly exclaimed the squire a the sweat brok out ou hla face. ' - "I can't He geta these savage fit on once in awhile, aud there's no doing anything with him. If he gets his teeth Into you I don't thluk wecau save you. Have you anything agalust Miss Leer "X-o." "Don't yon think she would make Harry a good wife?" "I told you I didn't waut By thun der, are you going to see me eaten alive?" "Bumbo, spare htm a little longerr appealed the widow. "Now, then. Mis Lee comes of a nice family aud Is worth $3,000, aud she and Harry are to be married Thanksgiving day that Is, they were to be, but I have concluded to have the ceremony performed this evening. Squire Iavls, you are a Jus tice of the peace." "What! Me marry 'em? he shouted, But the bear started In to hug him, and be almost fainted away in his terror. "Yes, you will marry them." quietly replied the widow after a bit. "It will be a neat nice thing to do, and it wtll be a good Joke on the people who ex pect you to make a fool of yourself. That's one side of It The other side is that the bear la getting overanxious." The squire fought against it for a quarter of an hour, but the widow, the bear and tbe girl, aided by occasional appeals from Harry, carried the day. and he stood up with the bear beside him and welded two souls according to law. Then the bride was kissed, the bear chained up, aud as tbe squire nib bled his doughnut and sipped his glass of cider he was man enough to admit that he guessed It was all for the best "gaul durn that bear!" RrUf. "I was spending a few days In Btrathaven. Scotland," said Robert "B. Mautell recently. "At the inn where I was stopping lived an old couple who were preparing to visit the Unit ed States. Naturally enough, they questioned me at some length about the trip, and tbe old gentleman was anxious to know if it was very dan gerous to cross the ocean. I assured him that It was not at all hazardous, although It waa often very rough. His sister listened Intently and then re marked, with a sigh of contentment AweeL aweel, It's been a gay dry summer, and I think the sea'U no be vera deep.' "London News. J. P.
