Bear

One George Winch & wife of Lake Placid, N. Y., went blue-berrying last week. With them they took their son Peter, aged two, who played while his parents picked. Also out berrying that afternoon was a large, female black bear, which gave small Peter Winch an experience few naturalists would believe though storybooks are full of such things. The she-bear picked up the child in her mouth. When he cried out and the parents came running, the bear loped away, carrying the child until she came to an open field near a railroad crossing where, alarmed, she dropped her burden, sped away. The child was badly bitten but expected to live.
