That left a vacant placo at her side,
and tho idea occurred to me that
perhaps tho old pig would not
object to tho little bear cub occu
pying it. I concluded to try the ex
periment, anv how, and while the
now was lying sleepy content
ment, nnrsing her litter, I sat the
cub down among the pigs. It went
to feeding with them as naturally as if
it were suckling its own shaggy mother
in some hollow tree or hole in tho
rocks. The cub was twice as big as the
pigs, but they did not offer any objec
tion to its sharing in their sustenance,
and the old pig paid no more attention
to the presence of the bear than if it bad
been there from tho start. As a foster
mother she was a success, and tho cub
grew up right along with her own off
spring, and, except in looks, was as
much a pig as a bear. In fact, before
the cub was two months old he had
captured the heart of his foster mother
and held a place there that none of the
old pig's own litter held. How tho bear
discovered it I don't know, but he found
out that the mother of the family, like
all pigs, would miss a meal to have ner
back scratched, and that imp of a bear
used to humor this weakness of her's
and scratch her back by the hour, while
sho lay and grunted her appreciation.
,From what I know now, I believe that
tho cub was establishing himself in tho
entire confidence of tho sow as a part of
tho scheme he was
.even then planning.
Th® little pigs grew rapidly, but not
more rapidly than their foster brother.
"At the age of three months the pigs
•were fat and cliubby fellows, and the
bear was almost as big as tho old sow.
lie had begun earlv with his trjeks on
tho pigs, as ho had on their mother,
and they had come to regard hfa favor
ite pastime of snatching one of thetn
up, tuckingit under his arm and lug
ging it around here and there about the
premises, as a piece of rare fun for
them, as well as for the boar, although
at the start the bear was obliged to cuff
thetn roui.dly to induce them to submit
to it withcut squealing or kicking We
used to think that pig-carrying trick of
tho bear's was just the cutest thing
imaginable, and we always took pride
in exhibiting our pet bear in his act of
carrying one or tho other of his pig
brothers about,the farm.
"There were seven of the pigs, and
tho family, bear and all, were shut up
at night in a high enclosure to which
there was a door that was fastened by a
rude wooden latch, that could be raised
either on the inside or outside by pull
ing a leather string. This enclosuro
was made on purpose to keep pig-steal
in# boars out of tho pen, bears having
been numerous and bold at tho timo
the pen was built

feed tny pigs, and what was my surprise

"I don't know what other peoplo
might do under tho circumstances,"
said Lewis Shaffer, of tho Pine crook
country, "hut if I should conn* across a
hear cub in tho woods that. 1 thought
.was an orphan and likely to perish for
lack of a mother's care, I wouldn't
take it homo and hecomo a
parent to it, but would kill
it then and there. 'I'here is no difficulty
in raisin# a bear cub, 1 don't care how
your# it may be when it falls into your
hands. And yon can train it as it
grows so it will bo as docile and trac
table as a do#. Uut you can't mako it
hottest. You can't make, it incapable of
b:i"»e ingratitude. It may not him or
scratch you, but it will bo sure to
wound you in a way that will pain you
more than a dig with its claws or a snap
with its teeth possibly ooiiltl 1 know,
fur I have hud proof ot it.
"A year ago last March 1 was going
through the woods up abut# l'ine
crook, the day after wo had had a terri
ble wind-storm, which had tumbled a
good many trees oo a lumb
or lot I own.
1 heard a peculiar whining cry among
some down timber, and. going to the
pot, found a largo pine tree lying
across the dead body of a bear. It was
a bis she bear, and, cuddled up close
to tho dead animal was a cub not more
Ithan a week old. It was doing tho
(whining I had heard. The tree had
blown down and crushed the* old boar to
kleath as it was passing the spot, and
'the cub would have remained at Its
dead mother's side and starved todeath
tlf I hadn't happened along just at that
Itittie. I took the little orphan bear
'homo with me intending to raise it by
ihand. That night an old sow ol mine
[that had a two days' old litter of pigs
laid on one of the pigs and killed it.

'hat would

was out -f 'ho question, too. that a bear
could have got in and carried off tho
pigs. The discharged hired man had
stolen them. I was sure. I found out
where he was, and detcrmin'-d to sot an
investigation going. Tho very next
morning, when I wont out to feed my
pigs, I was made wild almost by
the discovery that two more of
them were missing I was at !irst in
clined to have the suspected thief ar
rested forthwith, hut on second thought
concluded to wait and set a wau over
the, pen th.it ni#ht. My barn only
for mo to get there in timo the
rhanc.es are that I would not have done
so, for when the boar had got within a
few yards of the woods two other bears,1
tremendous big fellows, stepped out
from tho edge of the timb 'r and hurried
tov\art! him. Mv bear handed tho pigs
over to the two wild hears. The three
hears stood a moment together as if in
consultation, arid then the two returned
to the woods and mv bear trotted de
Uberatoly back home. When I #ot
there ho was just pulling tho latch
string at the pon. lie went in and shut
the door behind him.

"I was thinking that :n a minute

of the pi#s were sleeping, pick them
both up, and tuck one under each arm.
The gs merely gruntca good

and startling clearing up of tho mystery

I could hardly contain myself, though,

morning tc see tho ono lone member o)

hid in tho woods near tho spot where
my treacherous bear had handed tho two
pigs over to tho wild hoars. 1 was suro
that the bear would fetch the last pig
to them that night, but I was not pre
pared for tho unheard-of heartlessness
and ingratitude that be exhibited. We
had been in the woods an hour or more
when the two wild hears came slouching
along and lay down not more than^thirty
feet from where we were hidden. They
remained very quiet, and at about the
samo hour as my bear walked out, of the
pen with the two pigs the night before

got it. My two neighbors emptied their'

fell dead in their tracks. IJefore roy
ungrateful bear had recovered fro'n his
surprise 1 was out and confron:ii hitn. i
He recognized uie, dropped the pig, and
made a break for the woods. 1 had the
