The car famine is becom- ing more serious every day. Thc Q" has an equipment of 20,000 cars, yet it finds itself unablo to do the business which naturally comes to that great system.

Tho young lady was enjoying a few months outing with her father at a ranch uorth of rolsom, and it was my great pleasure to be their guest for a few days, During the vaca- tions she had passed on the ranch she had acquired a wonderful proficiency with the rifie and could shoot with the accuracy of an old ranchman.

This skill in marksmanship proved valuable to her the very next day. *On the day referred to we were startied by seeing a ciuuamon bear, und a large one at that, near the edge of a ¢ully but a short distance from the house, Both father and daughter rushed for their rifles and made for the ravire. The wild beast was on the opposite side and unable to get at us. Tho baunker in his excitement got too close to the edge of the ravine and tumbled in, falling a distance of twelveor fifteen feor.
