y) iS LO Mh” OR That Terrible a By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Brening World.) . [ will be remembered that @ little more than a week ago a bear got) loose in the Bronx Park, scared one of the keepers to death, bit a boliceman's thumb off, frightened hundreds of people nearly out of ‘heir wits, and piayed the mischief generally before it was “subdued” and tot back into captivity. Now there is a nice little story in that bear, and I am going, very sriefly, to tell it, hoping that it may do some good. The bear had been the mascot of the 22d Infantry, Company F, lo- cated at Sandy Hook. By order of Col, Tilson the bear was sent tempo- rarily to the Bronx Park Zoo, Let me say here that the bear's name was Molly. Well, one day somebody left the door to Molly's cage open and she walked out. When the keeper eaw that the bear was actually at large he began chasing her with great hue and cry, and she ran off. In his hot | pursuit the keeper dropped dead—evidently from heart disease, By that time Molly was beset by all the guardians of the public safety | in that immediate vicinity, and one of the policemen, spryer than the resi, overtook Molly and began beating her over the head and face with all his might. Self preservation being the first law of life with bears as well | as with humans, Molly began defending herself, and incidentally bit off one of the policeman’s thumbs, It was a great battle, but finally numbers prevailed, and the bear, badly beaten up, was forced back into her cage, and the city was safe, Immediately upon seeing the account of the tragedy in the public prints, Sergt. Phelps of Company F hied away to the park to see what he could do for Molly. He naturally felt sorry for his old friend, Quite regardless of the excited protestations and warnings of the keepers, the Sergeant went right into the bear's cage, and right then and there was witnessed one of the happiest meetings imaginable. Molly put her arms around the Sergeant's neck and hugged and kissed | him until his head ached. She laughed and cried for joy! She would back off from her friend a bit, look at him with deep delight, and then rush at him and hug him and kiss him some more. And the Sergeant laughed and cried too, laughed to see Molly's joy- crazed antics, cried to see how she had been beaten and bruised by the | clubs of the custodians of the public safety. | Poor Molly! It was an evil day when her Colonel sent her to the Bronx Park: witbout informing them that she had always been used to kind treatment and that she was perfectly harmless.
