THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17. 1921

JACK AND THE GRIZZLY "Come on, Jack, and go for a hike up the mountain," Mr. Fulton called to his Ron. "I want to get seme specimens." Mr. Fulton was a professor of botany in New York- He was spending his vacation in the Rockies making a study of the mountain flora. "Bring the gun," he added, "maybe we can kill a bear." As Jack trudged along beside his father, Mr. Fulton explained to him about the plants growing on the side of the mountain. Jack listened half-heartedly. Plants were too tame for him. He was on the lookout for a bear or a lion so he could tell the fellows abont it when he got home. Not used to mountain climbing, he noon became very tired. "I believe I'll sit down here and wait till you come back," he said to his father. "I hate to leave you here alone," hia father objected. "1 won't go any farther today. I can get my specimens some other time." But Jack insisted he go on, since he was so near the top. So, usinjr, his gun as a staff, he started up the steep and dangerous path. Half an hour later Mr. Fulton returned with some very rare 'specimens. Coming out suddenly from behind a rock to the place where he had left Jack, he stopped short. His heart ceased beating. There

lay his son flat on his face a big grizzly bear nosing around him. Jack did not breathe. Was he dead? Mr. Fulton leveled his gun at the bear. His band trembled, but he aimed carefully. Everything depended on the first shot. There was a loud report. The bear rose up on his haunches, toppled in the air, and fell Just missing Jack's prone body. Jack's father rushed to the boy's side. Pale and trembling, Jack sat up. "Are you hurt. Jack? Tell me, are you all light?" his father demanded all in one breath. "I'm all right," said Jack, "I just fell down and pretended I was dead.' Bears won't touch a dead body." "But how did you know that?" Mr. Fulton asked in surprise. "Don't you remember that's the way the traveler did In the fable about the bear and the two travelers?" Jack said. "My boy," said the father proudly, "you will be a great man some day., Anyone who remembers what he reads and can use the knowledge when the - time conies like hat will some day be great"

Ruth's Bouquet

"Ruth," said Mrs. Maynard, "1 want you to take this bouquet to Mrs. Armstrong at the hospital." "But, mother," protested Ruth, "her room Is full of beautiful hothouse flowers. She woudn't want our old cheap looking flowers." "We can't afford hot-house flowers," her mother said gently, "it isnt the flowers so much as the thought of being remembered that counts." "Anyway," Ruth pouted, as she jammed on her hat. "I'm ashamed to take her these when he is used to lovely things. They are so stiff and old fashioned looking." "Now, Ruth," said Mrs. Maynard as Ruth slammed out, "don't be so proud. It's bad enough to be poor, but to be poor and proud " Ruth imagined that everyone she passed was secretly smelling at her old fashioned bouquet. At the hospital, the nurse showed her to the door of Mrs. Armstrong's room. Ruth opened it quietly and looked in. Mrs. Armstrong lay looking out of the window. On the table beside her was the loveliest bouquet of American Beauty roses Ruth had ever seen. It was too much. She just couldn't take her shabby looking bouquet in beside that. Sho dumped her flowers in a heap out side the door. "Oh dear." sighed Mrs. Arm strong in greeting.' "I thought for a moment I was going to get a real bouquet. I must have been dream ing, for it seemed to me that as you came up the walk you were carrying a lovely old fashioned bouquet, zenias and petunias and touch-me-nots, .the kind I used to grow when I wasi girl." "Oh," gasped Ruth. Then she went to the door and returned, blushing, with her despised flow ers. "It's a regular dream bouquet," smiled Mrs. Armstrong. ' "These hot-house flowers remind me of fu-' nerals. How did you know this was just what I wanted?"
