Marvelow- Strength exhibited by Mad* dened Brown Boar Almost Beyond ' Belief, According to Wltnew of the Struggle. "Once we niiw Ivan fight with a hear of hlH own kIw> (lit that time)," writes Dr. Wlliluin T. Hornnday In an article on "The Alaskan Brown Hoar," pub i 11. .i In Boys' Life. "Il was a fear some sight. It ct mo about through a mlxup of eggemates. 1 cannot reeull why a change was made, but at nil events the female cagemate of Admlial ?another blfc Alaskan brown bear abiding in the adjoining cage?was temporarily shifted from him luto Ivan's den. "Adiulrar felt that that was not a square deal and It made him furious. At once he net to work to tear his way through the steel partition and get into Ivan's cage. I reached the scene while he was In the very act of finishing the Job. , "The partition was made of flat steel bars, woven closely together In u basket pattern, and set Into heavy steel frames that were bolted Into place. The ends of the flat bars were fastened by bending them over while hot; and everybody was quite sure that those panels were strong enough to hold elephnnts. "Admiral went to work with his great strength and his enormous claws to pull one of those woven bar panels out of Its frame, and thus mnke a nolo In the partition that would let him through. It seeing Impossible, but he did it! He did what a steam roller could not have done. I saw him finish tearing, that steel basket out of its frame, smash it down and rush .over It through the opening and into the next den. .. "And then in an Instant Admiral and Ivan wore in combat. "At Ann time those two bears were *of tsame size and weight,- and even ly matched. They tought strictly head t*? head and mouth to mouth.

Carrying their arms full of hickory pick handles.'each one weigh ing about live pounds, they slipped in at the front gate and took positions. They yelled at those bears as if they meant to tear them to pieces, and they slammed those pick handles into them until they won. The hickory hurri cane was too much to endure and the bears let go and fell apart. ' Then all attention?and pick handles?was con centrated on Admiral, who soon re tired through the hole he had made Info his own den, and the fight .was over." Marines Get Practice. Ton million rounds of ammunition were fired by United States marines on rifle ranges In the last 11 months, according to the report of the Inspec tor of rifle practice, given out at marine eorps headquarters In Washington. This Is the answer to the ques tion: Why are marines always crack shots? which has been nskqd over and over again by their opponents at re cent military rifle matches, when they saw the "sea soldiers" walk away with most of the trophies. Nineteen thousand of the 21.000 men who fired qualified as marksmen or bet ter. In 1019 marines fired on ranges in ten foreign countries and posses sions. as follows: Ireland. Siberia, China. France, Germany, Cuba. Santo Domingo. Haiti, the Azores and Nica ragua. and In 10 states, territories and possessions of our own country. Army Physique.

Caroline had become a sten<?ir rapher. Alice, barely seventeen when Wardley had last seen her. was giv ing music lessons. Their combined thrlftlness had enabled thein to nay off the encumbrance on the old home. Wardley could not but admire th;? culmination. He had always liked and respected them, and he smiled faintly as he recalled that wlu;n a young men of twenty-one he hnd seriously thought of keeping company with Car oline. Ills uncle had. however, sup pressed that vain dream. Alice Wayne was seated on a bench In the lovely garden from which the place took its2 name as Wardley en tered at the gate. He was surprised to view the shy, retiring girl grown Into a lovely young lady and hostess. J Sho preeted him as one she had long known and welcomed, and somehow. a soothing sense of novelty and rest crept over Wardley as he sat down and led a casual conversation. She told bow she had arranged with her married sisters to take title to the property, and Wardley drew from his ^ pocket the papers he had prepared at his offloo and placed them on the little stand that held a work basket; "There Is only your name to In sert In the deed, and record It. and you are the mistress of the loveliest iittle home in I'axton." he spoke. "1 declare! 1 have left my eyeglasses at home. I have grown foolish enough to depend on them in reading and writing." "There Is a pair here," said Alice, groping In her basket. "I fear they are of little use. however. They are pink. Here they are. Sister Caroline wore these for a time to rest her eyes. Once in a while when I sit here dream ing, I put them on. They make every thing so beautifully rose colored. I fancy I ara In some enchanted fairy land." "They do quite well, for they mag nify somewhat," said Wardley, as he filled In the deed with his fountain pen and, looking up. sat so still and mute that a sudden spell seemed to have come over hlin. The magic of rare beauty was irra diated by the gentle glow of the col ored glasses. "I hope you will guide and direct once In n while In a business way." observed Alice.
