At. that moment a Turk or j l'ohemian or foreigner of some i sort came np with a hand organ i and a dancing bear, and I saw a i new idea strike Jonas like a land-slide.

"When the for eigner pulled his bear off there was a bundle of something ty ing in the dust. It looked like old closhes, but it turned out to be Jonas. He wasn't saying a word, lie didn't know it when the father and two others lifted him over against the fence and got water from the town well to pour over him. It was a full q.iarterofan hour before he opened his eyes and faintly ask ed: "Father, did I clean out the hull crowd?" "No, Jonas. . You tackled the b'ar agin my advice."
