That commonblace to you or me To some one else may thrilling be. —Mother Bear. “IHY is it so many people seek thrills? And ~vhy is a thrill anyway? And what is a thrill? Be- ginning vith the last question, a thrill is a form of excitement from which usually & form of pleasure is derived. There are many kinds of thrills, and what gives one person a thrill, to an- other may give no thrill at all. Fa- miliar things or experiences seldom thrill, while that which is wholly new to us may give us a decided thrill. Mother Bear's two cubs, who never had been outside the den in which they were born, got & real thrill from just looking outside. It was their first glance of trees and ferns and other growing things. For a long time they lay with their little noses as close to the entrance as they could get them without putting them outside. As they became accustomed to the things within their short range of vision there was less and less thrill. Thrills are that way; they seldom last. At last the cubs became really hun- gry. Why didn't Mother come home? Could something have happened to her out there in the Great World she had told them about? She was so big and strong that they couldn't imagine anything happening to her. No, sir, they couldn't. Yet at the time they had a feeling of uneasiness, and this feeling grew. They wandered about inside the den, returning again and again to look outside. At last they heard some one ap- proaching, some one who wasn't try- ing to be quiet. A dry stick was stepped on and snapped. The cubs pricked up their funny little ears. They stood perfectly still, watching in the direction from which that sound had come. They saw something mov- ing. It was big and black. It was coming toward them. They couldn't see it clearly, merely & black mass of | fur. At least it looked like Mother's furry coat. It gave them a great thrill to see Mother coming. You see it was the first time the cubs ever had watched for her. Then something happened that caused two little hearts almost to stop beating. That black mass in the ferns and brushes began to rise. It went up and up, and above the brushes appeared & head. It wasn't Mother Bear's head! No, sir, it wasn't Mother Bear’s head at all. Can you guess how these cubs felt when they saw that stranger stand up? They never had seen Mother Bear stand up, for in the den there was no room for her to stand up on her hind feet as this bear*was doing. Do you won- der that they were thrilled by such s sight? And this thrill was followed by an- other and even more exciting thrill when they discovered that this was a stranger, some one they never had seen before. Round-eyed they gazed. Who could it be? It was a bear. There was no doubt of that. Being & Bear, this stranger must be all right. It must be a friend of Mother's. A big Bear wouldn’t hurt another Bear, even if the latter was very much smaller. Of course, not. There couldn’t be anything to fear. So reasoned the cubs, which shows how innocent they were. They wanted to run out and make the acquaintance of this great Bear and ask if he had seen anything of Mother Bear, yet sll the time they had a little feel- ing of fear. Why they didn't know. ‘They just had it, that was all. Bo they kept still and watched. The stranger stood up at a tree. He reached up as high as he could and dug his claws in the bark. The cubs gasped. They hadn't dreamed that there could be anybody so big. They wondered if Mother Bear could stand up like that and reach up as high as that. More than ever they wanted to make the acquaintance of this great stranger. They wanted to go out where they could admire him openly. The stranger was down on all fours again. He was moving toward them., Perhaps he would come right over to them. They fairly danced with ex- citement. They watched the moving of the bushes as the stranger ad- vanced. He was shufling along slowly. Suddenly his head appeared from back of & great old stump. In his excitement one of the cubs made a funny little sound. Instantly the head of the big Bear was lifted and his ears were set to listen. He stared straight at the cubs, but at first didn’t see them. Then one of them moved and the light of understanding filled the big Bear’s eyss It was fol- lowed by & hungry gleam and he took » step forward, an eager, hurried (Coprright, 1937.)
