REMINISCENCES OF A NATURE FAKER JOHN KCNDRICK BANGS TELLS OF THE CAPTAIN'S WATERLOO (Copjylaht. 1907. by Joseph B. Bowles.) mmHERE waa a tefly glitter In the 1 postmaster's eye when th Na ture Faker's association of Cape Mousam met the other night. He had evidently got wind of the fact 1 that the captatln was laying pipes to secure the postmastershlp for him self, and having held the office through two successive administra tions be resented as an unwarranted presumption any effort on the part of anybody else to deprive him of what he had come to consider a life job. It was assy, too, for me as an outsider to see that there was some kind of an under standing between him and Si Wother- . . .

"I heerd last night," the postmaster hean. "that Sam Busby's goln' to kill that voat n'. hl'n." Yes." said St. "I met Sam up at Rill Wither's Ice cream s'loon yester day an" he told me that keepln a goat anr a boardln" house at the same time was a losln' proposition." "I alters thought that goat was one o the most pleasln reaiures o lire up at Sam's place," said the postmaster. "He told me last year that he'd made 2 a week out of him hlrln' him out to the children." "Yes. he did." said Si. "But he's been's cranky as all git out this year. Somebody taught him to butt, an" last week he got sort o' crazy an' when he W Just Lit Out for the Cabin. aw the cook com in' up the back stairs with a. bller full o' clam chowder for the mealers' lunch, he banged him square in in muiiiiiiiin, an sent mm, an' the clam chowder, an' the bller clatterin' backwards down the steps into the kitchen again, an' they had all they could do scrapin' up enough chowder to satisfy the boarders." "They'd ought to kep him out o' the dlnln' room. said the postmaster. "Dlnln' rooms ain't no fit' place fer goats." "That's what they done," said 81, "an" two ' days later he ambled into the of fice an' eat up the boarders' mall, an then went out on the bark plasty an butted two old maids i off the porch into the Jap of old OeneraJ Slatherberry, who was lyln' asleep In a big arm chair on the lawn." "Scand'lus," laughed the postmaster. "That's what Mrs. General Slather berry remarked as she come along an' see the party tryln' to pull 'emselves together,'1 said SI. "They had a coun cil o' war that afternoon an' 8am was Informed that onless he showed 'em the dead body o' that goat before next Sat Iddy night they'd all leave." "Jumpln' beeswax, but that's hard luckl" said the postmaster. "After all the Keep he's give that goat to have him turn out a dead loss!" i I "Keep" laughed 81. "What ye talk In' about? He ain't req.uirefHo keep. He's eat newspapers that nobody wanted, an' been sort of a livtn' waste basklt for Sam's place all his life. I don't suppose Sara's spent fl' cents on his keep sense he got him. An' he aln t agoln' to be no dead loss neither," he went on lowering his voice to ft whis per. "Sam told me there warn't no way out o' killin' him, but he's goln' to serve him up to them mealers for spring-lamb all next week, an make a door-mat outen his hide an' a hat-rack of his horns Into the bargain." "Well he'd ought to , knowed better than to have a goat around the place," said the postmaster. "Ye never can count on 'em. Where they's wlmmen an' children goats ain't safe. Now if he'd been a cantelope it might have been different" "That's true enough," said SI with an uneasy glance at the captain. 'They tell me them cartteiopes has, a ver sweet disposition tho, I must say don't know much about 'em." "Me neither." said the postmaster. "Fact is I never see anybody that had ever tried to make a pet out or a cante lope." . "When it comes down to real experi ences in life, you're the shyest thing in New England, Joe." put in the cap tain at this point. "Here I've been llv ln" within a half mile o' this postofflce for s'n' on -0 years, breedln' cante lopes season after season, an' yet you never knowed anythln about "em:" 81 indulged In a coughing rit, but tne postmaster showed himself surprisingly meek under me captain s crmcism. I don t pretend to Know everythin , captain, an' as heretofore I am willin' to learn," he said.' "Any Information you mav ba willin' to give on the sub iect of cantelopes will be thankfully re ceived. "L,et me see, salp the captain re flectively stroking his beard. "I think it must o' been In 1896 that I first had a cantelope o' my own. I'd seen 'em plenty o' tlme boundln' about in the woods up near the Canadr line, but the Idee they couia ever oe maae aomesuo pets- on never occurred 10 me unui i caupht Bollvnr." "Bolivar, eh?" said the postmaster. "That's l fine name for a cantelope, ain't it, 81?" "It sure is," replied Si with a choking gurgle. "It was curious how Bolivar entered into my life," the captain went on smil ingly. "Jest like Sapphlra, my caribou. It was in the winter time thnt I first saw him. Me an' Jack Sprlngleton was loggln' tip back o' the sources of the Penobscot. I don't know how we come to pick. It out. but one day we landed a whoppln' big tree, an', I sorry, as she come over after we'd sawed her through she turned out to be rotten an' holler inside half way up. an' when she fell with a crash we discovered that they was three hi black bears asleepln" in side of her. Ye see the bees had filled the hole half full o' honey,, an' them bears had struck a regular bonanza for their winter supplies. Well, air, ye never ee anythln' so mad as they was at beln' Waked up before Christmas had even thought o eomln'-along, an' Jack an' me didn't wait any to apolerglie an' tell 'em we was sorry and didn't mean to disturb their nap. We jest lit out for the cabin a tight's we could foot it, an' we didn't get there none too soon neither, them bears was so close on top of our heels Fact i whea 1 slammed the door to behind me the door knob hit the head bear hang in the mouth an' nigh knocked his nose off, which didn't improve his temper none. They hung around outside for three full days, holdln' us prls'ners in the mean while, because onfortunately we didn't "have no guns along an' didn't dast go out. On the mornln' o' the fourth day when we waked up we found they'd give up the siege and had went off an' Bob an" me resumed our work." "Bob? Who's Bob?" asked the post master. "Bob Sparhawk. of course," retorted the caDtain. ' "I told ye once that Bob Sparhawk an' me was loggln' up there, didn't t?" ' ' "O- excuse me," said Joe, with a sly wink at 81. "Mebbe ye did. Go on. What happened next?" ''Bob an' me went back to work again," said the captain, "but we hadn't been at it long when we heerd some putty lively growlin' off to the north east of us, and a blast or two that sounded to me like a note of the cante lope, though I warn't so sure because there be times when ye can't tell It from the chirrup o' the woodpecker. So I looked at Tom an' says. "There's them Dears Rgaln. I guess wed netter nine it to the cabin.' Well, ye all knew how nulrk Tom i adklns la to take a nlnt Ye don't have to blast no idees In hie head, an' five minutes later we waa safe Inside the shanty, an' then there beean an awful voppln' an' blattln' an' growlin' out in the woods. I dumb up on tne roof to see what was agoin on when what should I see comin through the trees at a mile a minute clip but Bolivar an' close on his heels was them three bears, an' galnin' every minute. The cantelope's eyes showed how scairt he was, an' it didn't seem's if he could get away. Howsomever, obeyin' a natural instinct of lnterferln' In other geople's troubles I hollered out 1o ollvar, 'Jump up here, ye Jackass. They kin outrun ye, but If you're a real cantelope ye can Jump all around 'em.' Well, I don't say that Bolivar could un derstand the English language, but I'll be teetotally dod-gasted if he didn't Jump as I told him to, an' he went sallln' through the air clear over the cabin an' landed in the branches of a big pine tree 40 feet off on the other side, an' tho bears, they'd been goln" so fast they couldn't stop, an' run plumb Into the side o' the cabin an' knocked emselves p-enseless. "Gee! That must ha' been excltin','' said SI. "Yes It was some," said the captain, i "but it got more so. Soon 's I see tho bears lyln' senseless down below I hollered down to Bill to get a knife an' despatch 'em before they come to an' I clumb down to help. We had to git rid of 'em or be tied up In that there cabin all winter. Bill got th carvin knife an' I took the nx. an' we slartod in. but onfortunately we'd wasted too much time beglnnln'. We hadn't mure 'n got outside the door when the wind Mowed It shut an' the bears woke up. Well, sir. Georsre hiked off In one direction with one bear after him. an' me in another similarly pursued, an' it lonked like It was all up with me. when I'm blamed If that cantelope seein' what danger I was in didn't give a leap out o' the pine tree, an' with a Jump of 87 yards landed with all four hoofs on the bear's bock, puttin' him out o' commission. Then he Iept b:ick Into the tree again apar entiy overlookln the third bear that come us about this time to see what he could do toward squeezing me to death. He sneaked up behind, an' was Just reachln out for me when down come Bolivar again hlttln' bruin square be tween the shoulders, landln the three of us in a hean In the snow. I never see such a mlxup ns follered. For a few minutes ve couldn't tell which was me, which was bear, an' which was cantei lope, but the first thing I really knowed I was settin astride o Bolivar s back. an' he was Jumpln' back onto the roof o' the cabin with me. where we both lav down an' panted for a full hour before we got breath enough to peek over the edge to see what the bear was doln . I fuess he'd had enough for he'd faded rom sight altogether an' we never sot eyes on him again. Meanwhile BUI an the other bear ken clrclln an clrclln around the. house.

I tried to sick him on the bear, but he wouldn't pay no attention, so In order to save Bill I from his chair. "Only there's one p'lnt I don't understand an' that's whv nan'l " Webster when he come ta writs hln dictionary wrote that about the cante lope.'. And he handed the small niece jt paper he held in his hand over to th captain. The captain read what , was writtATl ttnnn If lnahwl Mnlw over and took up his hat and walked ' snentiy rrom the room, and has not been seen at the postofflce since. The email piece of paper fluttered from his fingers to the floor as he rose. i and when he had departed I picked It up. It waa inscribed with the woAla Cantelope: A small round variety of musKmeion or a delicate flavor. - -'.'I can take in a trolley-caribou, an an' eddlcated python, an' I know that fish, an' bears, an' freshets does- queer things, but how a muskmellnn ran stroke tts whiskers, an' land on a bear's) oacn witn au rour ret, an' be used for breedln' purposes stumps me." said thai ' postmaster.
