lasso and threw it onto a piece of rock which was jutting out. Then they began to climb. At noon they were half-way up. They sat down to eat their lunch, and, while they were sitting on the ledge, it started to rain. Quickly they gath- ered up their things, and made their way along the ledge. After walking for five minutes they came to a cave. They went inside. Suddenly the hunter whispered to his wife, ' ' Stand still; do not move. He crept forward and looked behind a rock. Bang! Bang! He had killed the bear: the first shot only wounded him, but the second killed him. With the rope they dragged him along the ledge away from the mouth of the cave. After dragging him a little way, they got tired and sat down to rest. The hunter lowered the bear down to the foot of the mountain and tied the end of the rope to a piece of rock. Then they slid down the rope, and got safely to the bottom. The hunter carried the bear to the cabin, skinned it and put it on the floor. They both agreed that they had had a most exciting adventure. HUGH SMITH. BETTY AND BOBBY One Christmas day Betty ' s and Bobby ' s father brought them a sleigh. That night it snowed, and in the morning all around the house the snow was two feet high. Betty and Bobby took their sleighs and went to the top of the hill. They got in and pushed off, and, when they reached the bot- tom they found a baby lamb. It was covered with snow. Oh, look what is here! cried Betty. ' ' What is it? said Bobby. A poor half-frozen lamb. ' What shall we do w ith it? asked Bobby. Let ' s take it home in the sleigh , said Betty. So they pulled the sleigh up the hill to their house and took the lamb indoors, and fed it and looked after it until it was well again. And since that day the lamb has followed them wherever they go.
