OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO "T(IW who'd ever V thuiik that I i a bear would 'a' coma luick art tremendous quick aa that uti (lid, arter the dme n' htirkahot that I licked Into him?" mud Sior Kloi-um, who, with hla twin brother Charles, lived on a little clearing lieyond Iter rylot Hill Ilarren, naar tha head wa ters of Ili'nr creek, Pennsylvania. "Who'd ever a thunk It?" repeat ed fiixur, who had coma In with a load of baskets. "I don't know, Hint." said Htm How ra, the storekeeper who buys tlie Blocum bankets. "What waa there about It?" "Tutl" exclaimed fll.er. "Hain't It got down here ytt, about that bear?" "Uueaa not, 8li," replied 1 lowers. "Well, jocksl" aald the basket maker. "That's tremendous queer. Why, It was 'way back In corn ahork In' time when It coma to pass about that bear, Hlineon. "Me an' Charles had jea cut that field o' eorn an' allocked It up, aff'ln renin' at It artur awhile on' hunk in' of It out. .Nint day arter we (rot that corn shocked up, I snys to Charles: " 'Charles,' I says, 'our apple crop ain't prophusyln' a very clieorln' win ter,' I says. "'No, It ain't.' says Charles. 'It won't aoueere out mora'n two bar 'Is u' eider, if It does that,' said he. "An' you know yourself, Simeon, that only two bar'ls o' elder to winter over on ain't no obeerin' proa- pert. " 'Hut, anyhow, Charles,' I says, 'I'll go down to the orchard an' get the crop together for arjueeiio'. An' you better go up In the swale,' I says, 'an' ehop nut some staddles for aplintln' hasketa.' "An' I went to the orchard an' Charles went to ths swnle. I hadn't been gnthrrln' applea more'n a little while when along comae Dan'l Swart, that lives at the foot o' Ilerrylot. " 'Hullo, Hlia,' he says. 'Good morula'. I see you've got your corn eut an' allocked, you an' Charlea,' he says. "Yes,' I nays. "Well,' saya lie. 'you dlda't hire Do bear to unshock It an' husk It for you, flid you?4 aays he. " 'Well, scarcely,' I saya. "'Didn't you?' snys Dan'l. 'Well, there's a bear In your field a dolu' of It, its liusy as lieee. A tremen dous big one, toot' says be. "Thru Dan'l clucked to his hnss an' rid on. I run to the house, got the gun, nn' atartud for tiie cornfield to shoot at the bear. "When I got in that field, Sim eon, an' see that bear n-ravortta' 'moiiget the corn shocks I'd V give nine dollars fur n gover'ment can non, mi' I'll a plnnted It there au' rnked him fiit-c au' lift. 1 was so cnntciniuatud mud that 1 Juat rushed ag'lu hltn with n yonp an' a yell an' fired the old gun nt him, juat us if he was only a groun hog. "The bear ipill his fooliu' nn'looked over his shoulder at me. He seen I wan tfurhr mad, an' uway he went into the woods. I skited its fnnt na I could up to the swnle where I harlca was rhoppin' out Muddles. " 'Charles,' 1 miys, 'a hear lies ben tinshixkiii' our corn, nn' Mintraiu' off the ears nn' scnttcrin' of 'cm like chuff,' I sitjs. 'It'll take nt two days to gt'ther 'em up iig'ln'' I mivs. "'Not a bsarl' says iTiiiIi-n. 'You don't tell me it waft u heai-!'

We can't work in that cornfield with no weapon but that old gun,' !io says. 'We must borry a rifle.' "So me and Charles went up to Joe Gould's an' borried his ririe au' a han'ful o' buckshot fer uur old gun. Then we went back to the eornfleld to begin getherin' up our eorn the jiesky bear bad scattered. "Simeon, there he stood!' The bear! Ill ere he stood aga'n slashin' away at the shocks o' corn, an' sletherln' it around like chips offen planin' milll "Take that for yonr impudence!' I hollers, an' I turned the ol' gun loose on him with auch a belching o' buckshot as never slid nut of any gun before nor since. Down went the bear, an' down went me, morcn't ten foot back'ards, into a corn shock, the klckin' o' the old gun was so hefty. The bear got up before I did, an' went linipin' an' howlin' awuy, fullered, by a bullai from Charles' borrowed rifle. "'If the front end o' this old gun was as all-pervading as its hind end, Charles', I eays, rubbin' my shoul der, 'that bear won't be alive more'n a few minutes to be uncomfortable In,' I saya. " 'Looks to me as If yon mowt be right, Siier,' soys Charles, 'an' I con sider that we kin stack our arms, now, an' go getherin' up the corn,' says he, an' he won't bother us no more, says Charles. "The bear bad gone on into ths wnorlt an' out n' sight. Charles, he took his gun an'walked over amongst the corn ahoeks to look the ground over, an' I got up an' sot on a pile o' corn investigatin' my shoulder. "I guess It waa mebbe ten mlnotei 'fore I looked up, au' when I looked up I come aa nigh faintin' as could be an' not do It. As soon as I got m wind and tongue, I began to yell to Charles. " 'Charles!' I hollers. 'Come here with your gun! The bear's buck! lie's back, worse than ever!' " Vanse there he stood, not ff) foot away, leerin' at me 'round a shock o corn! Charles starts as soon as he heerd me holler. I rli up to try sn lond my old gun, an' when the bear heerd Onirics comin' nmongHt the shocks, he got skeert, an' he made a dash to get away. "As Charles waa comin' up in the rear o' the bear, the bear thought It'd be afar to eolne my nay thnn to go t'other way, an' he run right on to me, bowled me over as if I whs a tenpin an' ha was a ball, an' walked right over me from one end o' ine to t'other, an' put in bis best licks for the woods. Just then Charles came In sight of him. "'Lay still, filrer!' he hollers. 'Lay still, an' I'll bore hlin like tnpplu a ma ple tree! Lay still!' Chnrliia hollers. "I laid still, rlimeon. an' I couldn't 'a' done nothin' else If I'd 'a wanted to, the bear had stamped mr nodeepdown In the dust. Bo I laid still, an' Charles was as good as his word. "He banged away an' bored the bear from end to end, an' the hvnr didn't ak more nan a dw.un steps further, die fell dead among the shocks. " 'Hut great Hickory Jackaon, Charles!' aays I. 'Who'd 'a' thunk that baar'd a coins back ao quick arter that dNiae o' hurkahot I give him?' says I. " 'Nobody,' says Charles. "An' who would 'a' thunk it, iiimeon?' said fiirar. "'Lord a'mlghty, Slier!" esclaimed Aim Howers; "nobody would!" " 'Of course they wouldn't, y' jocks!" said Slier Blocum. "(If course nobody 'd 'a' thunk the bear would 'a' eome back like that! An'hediilu't neither!" "Hler Slocum!" said Storekeeper Ilowers, Indignantly, "I got soinethiii' slae to do than sittin'hernati, llatenlii' to your triflln' yarns!" "flimson," said Slrer, "folks would 'a' had good renson not to think that the bear would 'a' come bnek like that, nn' they'd 'a' ben right, for the next day arter Charles bored the bear, Joe fiould's hoy was goin' through the woods, half a mile from that field of our'n, an' he comes onto a dend benr layln' In thers, so riddled with bueknhot that it was 'most rendy for minecuu-nt; so It was plain enough that there wa'n't no ground at all for any one a thlnkin' that the bear would ' a' come back, Simeon." "You don't mean to say, Hirer tilocum, that-" "I mean to say, Simeon, that ths bear Cbarlea bored from and to end wna an other bear an' it 'a a tremendous queer tiling that nothin' about It hain't got down hare 'fore thia!

BY LAFCADIO UstAIlX This atory is taken from a volume of Japanese Miscellany recently published by little, brown i o., ot iosun. 'inu voluriie Is uf unuual intkrust and eon tatrui mucb of Japneae myths and tra ditions. "I aha) return in the early autumn' aaid Akana toyenion several hundred years ago wnen bidding good by to his brother by .adoption, yourK ilarebe Ssmoa. The time w.i spung, and tne iJaee ss tne viilse oi Kato, in the province of Harinia. Aka:m wi u:i Izutnu iaitiurui( aud ho wanted to visit lis Lirttiplaco. Ilnf 1 said: "Your liiumo the Country of the Eight Cloud Kisinjr is very Hist Ant. Perhaps it will thrreluic l.e ditlicult for you to promise to return here upon any tarticu.ar dy. Hut, ii we were to know the es.ict day, we should feel happier. We could then pre pare feast of wtlconit; and we could watch lit trie Kdiewsy for your eomij g." "V;(y, as mr that," reimded Akana. "I have lien my muoti usvoiiied to travel thai 1 cf.n usually tell heforef and how long it will take me to reach a pla'e; and 1 can safely prom we you to be here upon a par ticular day. Suppose we say the day of the fentival of C'hoyo!" "That is the ninth day of the ninth mouth," Mid llasehe; Vthen the airywinthe mums will be in bloom, and we can go to gether to look at them. How pleasant! So you promise to come back on the ninth day of the ninth nv-nth?" "n the'muth day c( the i.inth month," repented Akana, muling farewell. Then Ke strode away from t!ie village oi Ksto, iu the provim e of llarinm and I last be Saiiioi: and the mother of Ita tlx looked after bini with tears in their eyes. "Neither th? sun nor the moon," says an old .Japanese proverb, "ever halt upon their journey." Hwiftly the months went by; and the autumn came the sa'ii of eh rysnnt he mums. And early upon the morning of the ninth day of the ninth month Jlawrhe pre pared to welcome his adopted brother. Jle made ready a feast of good things, bought wine, decorated the gdewtrooin and filled the vases oi the alcove with elirymnthe mumi of two colore. , Tlien his mother, watching him, said: "The province of Izu.no, my son, is more than 1(10 'n' from this place; and the journey thence over the mountains is difficult and weary; and you cannot be sure that Akana will be able to come to-day. Would it not be better, he fore you take all this trouble, to wait for his coming" "Nay, mother!" Ilasebe made answer, "Akana promised to lie here to day; he oould not break a promise! And if he were to see us beginning to make prepara tion after his arrival he would know that we had doubted hia word; and we should be put to shame." The day was beautiful, the sky without a cloud and the air ao pure that the world ecmed to be s thousand miles wider than asual. In the morning many travelers passed through the village-some of them samurai; and Hasehe, watching each as he came, more than once imagined that he saw Aknna approaching. Hut the temple hells sounded the hour of tiud'Uiy, and Akana did not appear. Through the afternoon also Hasebe watched and waited in vain. The un set; and still there was so sign of Akatsa. Nevertheless llaeete remained at the gate, g a nog down the road. loiter hia mother went to hitn and said: "The mind of a man, my son as our proverb declares may ehange as quickly as the sky of autumn. Hut your rhrynanthemnm flowers will still be fresh to-morrow, lietter now to sleep, and in the morning you ran watch aain for Akana if you wish." "Best well, moth er," returned Hasehe; "but i still Ifheve that he will come." Then the mother went to her own room, and Hasebe lingered at the gate. 1 The night waa pure as the day had been; all the sky throbbed with stars; ami the white Itivcr of Heaven shimmered with un usual splendor. The village slept; the ti lence was broken only by the nome of a lit tle brook and by the faraway bniking of peasants' dogs. Hasebe still waited wailed until he saw the thin moon sink liehind the neighboring hills. Then at last he began to doubt and to fear, dust as he was about to neuter the houw he perceived in the distance a tall man approaching very light ly and ipncVly; and in the next moment he rerognired Akana. "Oh!" cried Haselte,-springing to meet him, "I have been waiting for yotj from the morning until now! So you really did kep your promise after all. Hut you mint be tired, mit brother! --come in; everything is ready f. you." lie guided Akana to the place of honor in the guest room aud hastened to trim the lights, which were burning low.
