Copyright, 1916, by the MeClure Mr. Bear was very fond of music, bo he bought himself a trumpet, and every day he sat In front of his door and played upon It. At first all the animals In the wooks thought It was very fine to have music, and they all gathered about Mr. Bear's door to listen. But after while Mr. Bear took to playing all day and nearly all night and the animals grew tired of hearing him play. "TVhy. no one can sleep In the wood now," paid Mr. Squirrel. "If you want to sleep, you have to run the risk of being caught by a dog or the trap a small boy has set for you, because you have to go so far away to find peace and quiet." 1 ' That is so." said Mr. Rabbit. "My

wife and children were chased for a mile by a dog when they were on their way to the woods on the other side

Newspaper Syndicate. New York. of the hill. We have not slept for three nights. Something ought to be done at once." Why not call a meeting of all the animals in the woods and talk it over?" said a Blue Jay that had just flown down to a limb near them. "The very thing," said Mr. Fox, who had listened but said nothing: "you call on the animals Blue Jay, and tell them to be In the Hollow back of the big tree at the end of the woods Just before dark tonight." So off flew the Blue Jay, glad of the chance to carry the news. When the meeting was called to order that night by Mr. Owl, who sat on a limb of a tree, the question of what was to be done to stop Mr. Bear from playing had many answers. "We can steal his trumpet," said Blue Jay. "He would only get another," said

Mr. Rabbit; "we have got to cure him of wanting to play on the trumpet." "We might ask him not to play at night," said Mr. Squirrel. "But who wants to ask him?" said Mr. Fox. "Mr. Bear thinks everyone Is charmed by his playing, and he might be angry If we asked him to stop, even for a little while." "That is so." said Mr. Rabbit "Mr. Bear is very growly, and be might feel like hugging the one who asked him to stop, and Mr. Bear's hugs do not mean that he loves you." , "Listen," said the Owl, "I have thought of a plan." "What is it, grave and wise one?" asked Mr. Fox. ' "We that is, some ' of us must fill the trumpet with flour, and when Mr. Bear starts to play on it the next time, the flour will come out like smoke, and we will all cry 'Fire! That will frighten him so he will drop it and run away. "But, as I said before," said Mr. Rabbit, "he will get another trumpet if that one is. spoiled." "Listen," said the Owl. "I have not finished. When he drops the trumpet we must all cry Fire! Fire! Fire!" and run, and he will run as long as we do." - "Of course, someone must stay behind to get the trumpet, and that is where the cure comes it."

"When Mr. Bear drops the trumpet," continued Mr. Owl, "the one who stays behind and picks it up must take out the music Inside the trumpet. "Mr. Bear is so busy blowing on the trumpet, he will never know, and we must tell him how beautiful the music is, just as usual." Mr. Owl stopped and looked from one to the other, to see the effect his speech had made, and he was well pleased with what he saw. The animals were amazed at his wisdom, and looked at him admiringly. "Now, who is to get the trumpet?" asked Mr. Rabbit. ' Mr. Fox said he would, but, being such a good runner, he thought he should lead the running when Mr. Bear dropped the trumpet. "Well, I appoint Mr. Squirrel, then," said Mr. Owl; "he has such sharp teeth, and can get into such small places',' So, Mr. Squirrel said he would take out the music if they would promise to keep on running for a long time. So, one day when Mr. Bear went to market and left his trumpet at home, one of the animals filled it 'with flour, and that night, just before dark, when Mr. Bear started to play, out came the flour in great clouds.

tFire! sire! Fire!" - screamed the animals, and, dropping the trumpet, away went Mr. Bear, and the others led by Mr. Fox. v ,.. All but Mr. Squirrel i he stayed behind, of course, to take out the music, and it didn't take him long, I can tell you, for he expected every minute Mr. Beaft. would return and begin to blow the trumpet, and Mr. Squirrel knew that if he did he would go flying out of that trumpet, and where he would go he could not guess. By and by Mr. Bear and the others came back, and Mr. Bear picked up the trumpet and began to play on it "Beautiful, beautiful!" said all the animals, and Mr. Squirrel was louder than all the others in his praises. So Mr. Bear blew, and, while he thought the sound was not just as It had been, everyone seemed so much pleased he thought it must be all right. HAS NARROW ESCAPE
