Girl Kidnaped by a Bear.
Pet Who Had Heard Call of the Wild Takes Former Mistress to
His Den In the Woods and Tries to Keep Her
There For a Playmate.
The sfrnnso story that Miss Maggie
Calme of Zarllla county, Tex., and her
friends h:ive to tell concern lag the cou
duct of a black t>ear will tax the cre
dulity of those who are not familiar
with the humanlike intelligence often
displayed b? bruin.
Miss Calnie ha* always beea very
fond of pets. and for a loug tl;u? she
was passionately attached to a due
black bear that she had raised from a
uaall cub. She called the bear Nigger,
and he would answer to his name and
come rnnnlng the moment his mistress
comniauded hlai.
Nigger was very Intelligent, and for
a long time he was as playful as a kit
ten aad regarded as perfectly harm
less. As be KTew older he, began to
?how considerable temper, and he of
ten got so anzrr that he looked dan
gerous, and his mistress would con
sider It prudent to chain him to a tree
for awhile? at least until ho got In a
good humor. He never tried to harm
got In front of fcor. She kept trying to
get by him. but he would not let hor
pass. Finally he showed signs of an
ger, and when (he tried to pass he
growled and raised his paw. In vain
bhe tried to pet him. He continued to
Uir the path. Finally Maggie conclud
ed to return to the house she had vis
ited.
Nigger trotted along behind her until
I sha came to where the path forked.
Again the bear threw himself In front
of her. The girl now began to be
al.nrmed. Finding that Nigger would
not let her follow the path that lad to
th? bonne of the neighbor, Maggie fled
? along the other path, hoping soon to
i turn toward hnma.
The bear did not Intend that she
Nh mid hav?> her own way. He fol
| lowed close. and whenever she tried
I to lenve the p.itli h<> would throw him
self in front of her and srrowj. Maggie
??* now liatlly frightened ntid began
I to *h?>ut for help. This angered the
Miss Caia:?\ an?l nothing pleased him
better than to fo.low'her fro::i place to
place. She alone fed hiiu. anil he ap
peared ?:evot<'J > attached to her.
Finally he begiui to show that he dis
like.) all the oilier memlter* of the
family. lu the alweuce of .Miss Maggie
he would sulk and refuse to eai. Nig
ger's ugly traits grew so pronounced '
that Maggie's brothers talked abuui ;
killing him. (Jne day he scratched oue
?>f the boys and tried to break his
chain. The boy was angry and ran
aud got n srun. Maggie barely prevent
ed him fro:>i ending Nigger's career
Bruin ?avr it all. aud with his head :
turned to oue side he llsteued to the)
threats made against biui. "I believe |
he knows what you are saying, brot i-|
er." said Moggie. "Look bow he Is lis
tening."
"Well. I'll kill him yet," said the boy.|
Nigger evldeutly understood the situ
ation. for he sulked all the evening
and that night he broke his chain and
disappeared. No trae? of bim could be
found.
Months passed, and Nigger was still
a lost bear.
A few evenings ago Miss Calrne wai
returning from a visit to a neighbor.
It was nearly sunset, aud the girl was
hurrying along a lonely path through
a forest only a short dlstauce from her!
home when she suddenly encouutered
Nigger. He was standing In the path
directly In front of her. He had evi
dently waylaid his mistress, and he did
not show himself until she was close
to him. Maggie's heart fluttered a lit
tle, more from surprise than fear. She
recognized the bear, aud when she |
called his name be grinned with satis
faction.
Maggte weut toward him. holdlnc'
out her hands. Ha sat on his haunches
to the path and would not move. When
(be girl attempted to pass, ha Instantly (
bear, and he t*-gau to growl anil gna.-.'i
his teeth. She became convinced thn:
he would spr!::g upon her if the did
not keep ijuiet.
I'lually she coucluded to walk slowly
alou? the path, thinking that she might
Induce the formerly tame beast to fol
low her home.
After going a short distance she
came to a pile of logs and brush,
which she soon discovered was Nig
ger's lair. The. bear now appeared
pleased He walked about the place,
sniffing, aud he llnally came and laid
down at Maggie's feet.
During the whole of the long night
the bear laid and watched the terror
stricken girl. The slightest movement
attracted his attention, aud he would
raise his head aud look at her. Miss
Calme's people thought she had re
mained overnight with the neighbor
she had visited, and she was not
missed until after 8 o'clock the next
morning. '
When It lteeame known that the. girt
w?s missing, the whole neighborhood
was aroused, and soon the woods were
full of people searching for her. It did
not rake long t<? locate her. but when
the In-nr heard voices and the barking
of dogs he got very angry. Bristling
with rage. he ran about the girl, growl
ing and gnashing Ills teefb In the most
hair raising maimer.
Maggie fully realized her peril, and
when she saw her friends she called
to them, warning them not to come
nearer. She explained the situation,
and her friends concluded to shoot Mr.
Nigger from where they stood. Aiming
well, three flred together, and Nigger
rolled lifeless at hi* captive's feet.
Now. what do you make of it? Would
the bear ttually have nmde a u:.jI of
th ? girl or wr.3 he lou?so;ue and plnlnsj
