He had himself been-a keeper some years before, and had been' dismissed, >t i was supposed- through information given by another keeper who had courted the girl Fuchs had marrled,^ that he was in the habit of shooti^ game for his own use. This keeper,' who was better knownas the Black Bear than by bis real name, for some time after the dismissal of Fuchs,,kept out of the way of the latter, fearing, and not without good reason, that iu the event, of their meeting in the mountains it might fare ill with him ; and though the law was on his side, he was top much of a coward to trust himself within gunshot of the man he had injured. Years, even had passed, and bcih had traveled from * the sunshine of life into tbe shade, and yet they bad never once spoken to each other; on tbe contrary, tbe enmity of the Black Bear seemed as strong as ever, for h® ^as often heard to declare that if he ever caught Fuchs poaphing on the mountains, he would shoot, him with no more relnc- tance than he would a wild cat. It was perfectly wejl known to everybody round, that Fuchs did not keep his rifle for target shooting only, but though everybody knew this, h® ceptigupfi the law at defi ance with impunity, till the ocpurrenpe of an evetit wbtcb terminated his pareer as poacher and farmer. “ One morning his wife pame 4®wn in great afijictiog to the village nearest bis hut to ask for help to seek her husband, who had been away among tbe mountains for four days, and to whom she feared sorge acpidpnt bad happened. Her sop bad started in search of his father some hours before, and had not returned. Several men immediately left their work, and, staff ig hqnd, began j,beirjourne/<throggh the woods and up and down the moun tains in search of the missing man. They bad divided themselves into parties of two each, and traveled in different directions. One of these parties foupd themselves at sunrise the next morning on the verge of a wood, into which' they entered. The first rays of the sun penetrated'between the trees here and there, and lighted up a golden path, till it was stopped by tbe trunk of a tree. To men in search of an object ig the gloom of a forest, these glowing tracks were so mqny Igrps to at tract the eye. Following one of them, it led to their pejl-ceiying the man they worn seeking, ijel was silling on the ground, his left side lekning against tbe trunk of a tree, and his gead banging down, as iho’ he were asleefj.

He had been shot ilhrough tbe body; Tbe men ' shouted, to attract tbe at tention of tbeiit fellow-seekers; but instead of their calls being responded to by these, three foresters; among whom Was the Black Bear, presented themselves. One of tbe men dirficily charged the last named keeper with having' caused the death of Fgehs, and he admitted it, but asserted that he hafi got fired till after Fuchs bad fired at him. Of coarse tfie peeper was not punished. Fuchs was in the act of breaking the law, and not only that, but, according to the statement. of Che keeper, was the aggressor. This assertion neither the sog .nor ih® friends o f Fuphe believed; and though his rifla had been fired, and the wadding was picked up close to his body, they asserted their belief that the Black Bear fiad hjtpself fired it off aftpr shooting its owneri “ Earnest Fbebs, the sqd , wps at this t.|me sixteen years of ago.
