Rr, brre how nar joS go '
. 1 things of which yu do not krfr.
Uot&er Bear.
rpuis Is one- of the first laws Of life
X all through the Green Forest and all
over the Green Meadows. And it is one
of the hardest of all the rules for the
-children of the Green Forest and, the
Green Meadows to obey, and for some
of the older folk. too. for that matter.
This is because of curiosity. 'Anything
new, anything Seen for the first timer
awakens curiosity, and curiosity leads
many little - people and some big ones
into great trouble or danger by urging
them to go too- near strange things.
'"Mother" Bear-had done her best to
make? the twins understand this. Over
and over 'she had charged them never
to go near a thing until they had found
out all about it But often the twins
forgot as children wilt. Or sometimes
they thought they knew all about a
thing when they didn't That is a mis
take often made by those old enough to
know better.
One day Mother Bear left them for
a little while to play on a ledge of rocks.
the very ledge 1ft which their father.
Buster Bear, had spent the winter. They
liked to play there. It was great tun
to climb about over the -rocks, to hunt
for little caves and to play hide and
seek.
They had been playing tot some time
when they happened to approach a spot
on which Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun
was shining his broadest As they drew
near this spot Boxer's quick, ears laught
a strangft sound. Instantly he stopped.
.with his head cocked to one side, that
' he might listen , better. Woof-Woof
stopped and did the same thing. Just
because Boxer was doini it Then she
also heard that Queer sound. It was a
sharp whirring sound, and somehow
those two little Bears didn't like It
'Somehow it seemed like a warning. For
a minute or two they ' stood perfectly
sun listening, ine queer sound stoppea.
But the instant one Of them moved it
began again.
"What do you suppose makes It t

"What" Ma asked,
i They cduld'nf bump" each OtHer" T,
Paer . explained, "because they're the
same fella, i But they're got It alt fig'
rered out why you ought to get youf
coal before the ice man begins to ta
you." .... s
i "Why?" Ma asked. "I don't see's it
makes any difference except the price.
"That's all you know about it." T".
Paer contended, "if you buy your coal
'nd get the bill first it'll make you so
buimed hd 60n Have- td btry that
much more ice to cool off again."
"Nonsense." Ma retorted. "1 ain't
going to shlef aroufid here any longer
so you d Just as well trot along 'na
Order a few ton of briquettes."
"I don't like 'em," T. Faer f efnOrtstra-
ted, . "nd blamed If I'm goin to g
em." . - :
"But them gas ones we had made a
awful hot fire," Ma Insisted, "nd you
don't have to fuss with any ashes."
"No," Tv Paer said,' "maybe you don't,
but I bad to spend the last eight months
swabbin down the basement 'nd moppin'
the kitchen floor." 7 ,
"Then get, the eOal kind, Ma sug"
eested. they burn, fine." v
"Yes," T. Paer objected, "nd spend
all next winter luggtn' ashes 'nd Motrin'
dust Out'fl my nose."
"Well then order some slao wood.'
Ma directed. "1 don't tare what yon gt
so long's you get something."
"I don't want any slabwdod.' T. Paer
demurred, "I'm full of splinters yet
from what we had." .
"For mercy sakes." Ma exclaimed, "Is
they anything you would like to turn 7"
"No," T. Paer answered testily, "I'm
tired of the doggonned furnace 'nd every
thing you but irt it"
"What'e we going to tOT Ma de
manded irt t exasperation, "we can't
freexe." :. , ; V - .
"I'm-goin to forget about the winter
in the sum-mer nd keep eooi." T, Paer
told her, "That' faif enough."
"What'fe .you going to do next
winter?" Ma anerled.
"When that time eom," T. Paer an
swered. "Ill cos the coal its art 'ad keep
warm." .1
"Men're strange aiHmiM," Ma sighed.
"they'd provoke a saint"
"You're right," T. Paer agreed, '"spec-.
ially if ydu're tatkin about coal men."
"What tM IToa Suppose Makes It?"
Asked Woof-Woof.
T haven't the least idea,' replied
Boxer. "It sounds to me sort "of ugly."
"You can't tell anything by Sound,"
said Woof-Woot.
"Oh, yes, you eah I" retorted Buster
YoU can telr a great dial by sound.
You know well enough by the sound of
Mothei Bear's voice when she Is angry.
You know you do."
Woof-Woof grinned. "Well.'' said she
"this-, doesn't sound . Very, ugly to me.
And I do want to find out what makes
it. That won't do any harm. Anyway,
there isn't anything big enough to hurt
us around here; Com on. let's hunt tor
the thing that makes thkt noise."
Since his I experience with .Prickly
Porky the Porcupine and his exoerU
ence with Jimmy Skunk, which yoti know
an about, Boxer had grown cautious.
To be cautious, you know, is to be care
ful to make sure of things. 60 Boxe
was not so eager to hunt for the cause
of that queer sound. The more he lis
tened to it the less he liked It
FTaldyf FraJdv V faimted Woof-
10 uiam, uuAci joear.
That's what's the 'matter With you-"
you're afraid!"
Now, Boxer didn't like that No lit
tle Bear would. Besides, if the truth
be told, his curiosity was Just as great
as Woof-Woofs. Me wanted to know
what that queer whirr in the rocks meant
and what .made it So Boxer Joined
Woof-Woof In hunting for the maker
Of, the queer sound.
