Miss Caime has always been very fond of pets, and for a loug time she j was passionately attached to a fine black boar that she had raised from a small cub. She called the bear Nigger, and he would answer to his name and come running the moment his mistress commanded him. .

Again the bear threw himself in front of her. The girl now began to be alarmed. Finding that Nigger would not let her follow the path that led to the house of the neighbor, Maggie fled j along the other path, hoping soon to j turn toward home.

One day he scratched one of the boys and tried to break his chain. The boy was angry and ran ? and got a gun. Maggie barely prevent <ed him from ending Nigger's career. Bruin saw it all, and with his head turned to one side he listened to the threats made against him. "I believe he knows what you are saying, broth er," said Maggie. "Look how he is Lis tening." "Wed, I'll kill him yet," said the boy. Nigger evidently understood the situ ation, for he sulked all the evening, ?.and that night he broke his chain and disappeared. No trace of him could be found.
