But that was before the railroad was built. The gang of man boarded and lodged r o a ad gang g at I shunt but Iwas more fortunate, the a o t Y. for I lodged with a widow who bad a pretty daughter who was keeping com- pany with a young backwoodsman, and I had the spare chamber over the living room, The lover was a big, brawny fel- low, who came late to do lois courting and whose voioe Bounded like the scrap. ings of a buzzaaw. One night as I sat at my window smoking my first pipe I heard his steps outside and saw his great bulk coming through the trees. It was unusually early for him, but I knew that the coast was clear. But what was this ? He did not usually tomo on all fours as he was now approaching the house. I looked again and saw my mistake. Solna neigh- bor's dog, I thought, but I was glad to be out of the way of such a powerful maatiff. Miss Nancy was rocking and singing in the room beneath. I had a 050100ity to see if the dog would walk in upon her, and peeped through the crooks in the pine flooring. Jehosephat ! I nearly yelled, for it was no dog but a big black bear, and he lead swung the door open like a human and trotted in. Like all women who expaot company, Pales Nancy was riot to be taken by sur- prise. She heard him fast enough but went on reeking and singing with her beak to him. Then he stood op on his hind feet and threw his arms around her and bugged bar till I thought I heard the poor girl's bones crack, but I couldn't have moved or spoken to have saved my life, You're late, Bill, I heard her say ; 'gimme another hug. There was no answer, naturally, but the bear hugged her again, shivering the back of the rocking chair. Easy, Bill, yer huggin' the cheer. Wot yer been eatin' ? Seems like yer breath ain't nat'ral. The bear gave Miss Nancy another hug and his paw swiped her cheek as he did se. It made her mad. Yer meaner nor snakes, Bill•. I've more than a mind to gin yer the shake, and I will too if yer don't hug prettier nor that. Yer ain't no more grip nor a mouse. Why don't yer talk some ? At that moment Bill himself appeared on the sone and Mr. Brain retreated. There was no scrimmage for bears in Ohio were as tame as kittens, but, as I withdrew my eye from the amok, I heard Miss Nancy saying to the young man :- I kinder reckoned, Bill, that yer hug, gin' were powerful weak, an' I 'lowed to make yer git a new cheer, but I never anspioioned if were a real bear, or I'd a been kinder scared. That beat all the domestic comedies I ever mw, concluded the little man cheer- fully, as he refilled his pipe, and we all coincided with him. Cana cleat en .CyNo vv es.
