THE PEACE OF EPHRAIM.
MORLEY ROBERTS. (Author of “The Adventure of the Broad Arrow,"
Old Ephraim came shuffling down the hill side, and slid through the thick dewy brush till he saw the lake water close at hand. He stood on the fat for a long minute, swinging his head from side to side, and with his flexy little eyes he took in the landscape.
"Gr-r-rumph," said Ephraim, as he rabbed *** against a pine,Grrrumph"
in
And, saying so, be slouched to the lake beach and drank. A bald-headed eagle on a dead branch high over head took no notice, for ke was considering the question of fish for dinner. A striped chipmunk sat on a'log and chirped. Far across the wide water was a blue veluran of faint smoke, but the lake was utterly calma. Not an Indian's canoe dotted the mirror which were reflected the great hills peace brooded over the forest.
"Gr·r·r-umph. "said Ephraim, and by it meant to remark that it just suited him. He had no complaints to make so long as nobody interfered to crowd hith, ·For, nə you may guess, Ephraim was a bear, and in all his life he had never seen a man. He did not know that man was good to eat; he had yet to dis. over that man mukes railroads, and is a mighty disturber of the peace.
