A BEAR STORY.

“You observe,” remarked the Jewel- i ry salesman, “I wear very little of my | own goods.” “Possibly,” suggested the listener, “It i is on the same principle that a doctor does not take his own medicine.” “No, not exactly,” laughed the drum- I mer, “for my jewelry, unlike the doc- j tor’s medicine, Is IS carat tine always.” “And there are no tricks in your 1 trade,” grinned the listener, who at ! that very moment was wearing a 15- i cent pearl scarf pin that looked as if It had cost $75. “However, why don’t you wear Jewelry? Can’t you afford it, or are your tastes too delicate and refined?” “Thereby hangs a tale,” said the drummer. “I used to wear a lot of It and of the most expensive kind, but I had to give it all up once upon a time and that taught me a lesson. At the same time you may think when you have heard my story that I ought to go around all the time loaded for emergencies.” “It takes you a powerful long time to get to the story,” ventured the listener, who had an Invitation to go to a thanksgiving dinner along In the later part of November. “Does It?” snorted the drummer. “Well, it’s good enough to keep and put In your Christmas stocking, but I won’t do that. Here sf!e goes. About seven years ago I was on my way book from the Pacific slope and I stopped for a week’s rest and recreation at a semlwild hotel in the Rocky Mountains. As usual In those days, I was loaded to the guards with jewelry and couldn't give It up even in the woods. Hut I was only there for a short stay and had with me my ordinary civilized city attire. I remember 1 wore a SI,OOO diamond stud in my shirt front; a SIOO chain to a SSOO watch; a SIOO diamond collar button, heavy link cuttles with a big diamond In each one; an uncut diamond worth SI,OOO for a watch charm, and so on until I was a glittering array of gems and things worth a small fortune. Resides, I was my own traveling advertisement and of goods In one. for whatever I had that struck anybody’s fancy and he wanted to buy 1 would sell on the spot. That was really the only possible excuse for decking myself out in such a fashion. Well, game was plenty In the mountains just around the hotel and a newspaper man from Chicago who was there for a month was putting most of his time In with Ills gun. lie was fixed for it, though, ind I wasn’t, so I let him go his way ind took his word for the sport he vas having. One afternoon 1 was siting on the piazza of the tavern array--1 In all my Jewelry, for the safest dace for it was on my person under uy immediate eye, when the Chicago ns a came dashing through the grounds vlth his gun, calling me to grab up i shotgun there was in the hall and ■oino on, for there was a bear up in the mountain back of the house. I night to have had more sense, I supnose, but I am fond of a gun, and before I thought of how little I was fixed ’or It, I caught up the gun. and noticing there was a powder horn and pouch hanging to It, I made a grab i-fid away I went. The landlord told me that it was loaded with buckshot, and to skip, which I did. The newspaper man took up one side and I the other, ana lu lUiout Uni* an uour I clear out of sight and hearing of everything, and the next thing I knew I ran slap Into a big bear that wasn’t looking for me or any body else, and evidently had not been disturbed before. I was so close on him before

I saw him that escape was Impossible, and besides 1 was up there to let him do the escaping If he could. On the Instant he was u,p on his hind legs and coming at me and on the Instant I banged away. Of course, I hit him, but It was a mo»t scattering kind of a hit and merely threw him off his pins for a moment make him a hundred times worse when he got at himself again. “Some way or other I must have upset the pouch with the powder horn, for when I dodged behind a tree and prepared -to load again, there wasn’t a buckshot or anything else in it. That left me in a pretty pickle, and I hadn’t any time to formulate methods of defense until the bear was coming for me again. It was an old muzzle loader, and In my wild anxiety to get something Into It besides powder and paper wad, I was about to shove the ramrod In and give him that, when it occurred to me that a ramrod might some In handy if ever I wanted to load again. In the meantime 1 had climbed up the rocks, which were big and plenty here among the trees, and was managing to keep myself fairly safe. As I slipped into the last niche of the rocks before I had to take chances and run across the open to a clump of trees, my heavy wrtcb chain caught on something and almost tore itself y>ut of my buttonhole. It gave me a thought, though, and In a second I had it loose and was ramming it down the gun barrel. A hundred dollars a load was rather expensive, but It was my life against the watch chain, and there were other watch chains. To make the chances in my favor somewhat better, I dropped my link buttons and a collar button into the other barrel. They were not so heavy as the chain, but the range was short and I was counting to do some valuable work In my behalf with that watch chain, which weighed half a pound, a friend of mine used to say and looked a ton. As the bear got on the level with me and rose to embrace me to his throbbing bosom, I tried to remember that my chance for life lay in that gun barrel, and I must be cool and collected and very brave, and I guess I must have remembered it.’b 't to save my neck I couldn’t be steady, and as I backed away to let the bear go on by me If he wanted to, I stepped into a hole In the rock, the gun went off, my beloved watch chain went whizzing out into the blue empyrean of the Rocky Mountain heavens, and the bear winked and growled, and came right at me. The next shot he got at short range, and collar and cuff buttons were hanging in his hair, while diamonds glistened like the mountain dew as I tumbled off the edge of the rock and lit on a ledge about six feet below. Here 1 was /safe for a minute or two, at least, and I stopped to think. Thinking at such a time is a thing a man ought never neglect to do. The bear, weighing about a ton, exclusive 9t th« .loads I had cut Into hi)n was on . J

Beautiful women will be glad to be reminded that falling or fading half ia unknown to those who use Ayer’s Hair Vigor. iop or me rocs, chewing and spitting like the mayor of New York, and tearing around in a blinded rage for the man with the gun and the Jewelry samples, while I was hanging on to the side of that boulder with a gun In my hands and nothing to load It with except powder, unless I could think of something else. Under these circumstances I thought of what the last charge was, and once more I went through myself. This time I got the uncut diamond, marked down from the diamond stud going below cost, and an assortment of small articles, such as scarf pins, studs, suspender clasps, necktie pinches, and a variety of things that wouldn’t go Into a gun barrel without squeezing. These I rammed down and waited, for I knew the beast would be coming aj soon as It got its wits together. “And It did. I guess It must havt scented me, for with a roar and a bound It came over the side and lit on the rock beyond and Immediately proceeded to Join me on my small territory. Now, I knew I was a goner If I didn’t do something with the loads In that gun, and as Mr. Renr came on the gun went off, and there was a howl went up that was terrifying. 1 thought I had blown the bear clean Into kingdom comp, but I hadn’t; I had merely blown his face full of bric-a-brac and small Jewelry, and my hope was that enough of It had gone Into his eyes to blind him and give me a chance to get away. He was pawing his face and nulllmr at htmoolf in orao) shape as I left the rock, and I hoped I wouldn't be called on to risk my life further, but bears are animals ol no sort of courtesy and kindliness, and before I bad got any distance he had cleared up his line of vision and was after me jigaln. Fortunately for me, rocks dial trees were plenty, for after I had poured in my first load I was much more nglle than he and could by extra effort keep out of his way, though if he could have got me in the open I wouldn’t have had the chance of a humming bird In hades. As 1 covered myself behind the next point i rocks l thought again of loading my gun and wondered what there was in stock to load it with. I went through my pockets and found only a bunch of .voys and a pocket knife, both too big to go in the gun, as was the silver dollar and, other change. Neither could I find a bit of stone small enough and I began to think of climbing a tree and waiting for a storm to come and blow me to town or something like that, for I didn’t see much chance In n ■ y oMier direction, when I bethought myself of a heavy gold pencil studded with jewels that my best girl had given me. and must have cost a hundred and a half, If It cost a cent. It was In my luside vest pocket and I went after it with a rush. I rammed it down, and as I pulled out the ramrod it occurred to me that that would be of no further use to me now, and I might as well bang it into the bear, too, so I 'shoved It into the other barrel and waited for my enemy. He was as game as you ever saw, and though he was badly disfigured he was still in the ring. But he was groggy and uncertain on his pins and I felt sure that one more good one would fix him so I could go home where I had been wanting to go ever since I had met the confounded beast. Well, I steadied myself better than at any time since' the scrap began as be came at me, and when he had got as close as I had the nerve to let.him get without making some sort of a demonstration, I banged away with both barrels and the jar knocked me off the rock, rattling the gun down after me. I only fell two or three feet, and as I jumped to my feet I caught up the gun and stood with it clubbed, ready for the last and greatest effort of my life, for there wasn't anything now to ram with ‘ even if I had plenty to ram. But the bear didn’t show up, or down, rather, and after a minute or two I slipped around to see what I was expected to -do next. To my Infinite relief I discovered that I could go home or do anything else I wished, so far as that bear was concerned, for he was kicking his last kick and going along the road to bear heaven as fast as he cojjhl go. I sat watching him for five minutes or more, and then when I was sure he was approachable I went up to him and investigated a while*. I fion’t know how long lie would have lived if I had not fired that last shot, probably to this/nay, fur the jewelry had only barfcrff up his face and Wood led up Ids aye s so hr- cusij /• .*/*, be sides cutting him him about the uoei until weak from loAt y |; olixi* from,-which he would easily have re covered with three or foijr days’ rest in his den, am] (he beautiful tfOl l-r~l

pencil of my best girl had simply cut a pretty round hole through his eai and gone to meet the watch chain, l suppose, while the ramrod, the pool and despised ramrod, the last resource went Into his eye, and so his brain, and killed him.” “Where Is that ramrod now?” in quired the reporter. “I have it as a souvenir. 1 also have one of the cuff buttons that caught In his hair, but the others were so injured by the shock that I only got 75 cents a pennyweight for them, and there wasn’t enough to hardly pay expressage,” “I should think you would have of sered a reward for the watch chain and the pencil?” “I dtd,” said the drummer sadly, “but 1 never found the pencil. The watch chain brought me the only luck 1 had In the whole adventure. I had offered S2O for its return and I got the twenty myself, for being nut there the following yeas I went fishing one day In a lake near the liote and Inside of a fish I caught I found ny chain.” “Rusted?” queriid the listener. . “No, sir,” was the Indignant and honest answer. Mdn’t I tell you all my Jewelry was AS-knrat fine, warranted noi to fad and the listener believed the drum tier fully, for there never was yet a drummer who would elaborate a state nent when It was about a matter of business.—New York Sun.
