watching his opportunity, he grabbed
the first bear by the back and ran across
the opening. pushing him ahead Of him,
When he had gene as far as the rope
would let him, he gave the lear a last
and hearty shove and let go. The
bear at the end of the rore sailed up
almost to the branches of the sur
rounding trees, and then came rushing
back, The impetus of the rush sent
him among the trees on the other side.
The other bear stood on his launches
and gazed on the result of his effort
with unmistalable enjoyment. But the
shared bear swished back again, and
brought up against the lear that waj
having the fun, and the next instant the
latter was wrapped in the forelegs Of
the swinging bear in way that started
the fur to flying in all directions. Tia
made the young bear mad, and Quick
says that the tooth and nail rough and
tumble that ensued was the most iveli-
est thing he had ever seen in all his ex-
perience. The sapling bent and snapped
under the weight of the two bears, and
danced and tumbled them around until
the dirt and stones and hair flew about
like chips from planning machine. The
fight lasted but few seconds, for the
fun-loving bear managed to break the
embrace of the shared bear, and limped
away out of the latter's reach, where he
sat down and glared and growled and
showed his teeth at the bear that had
used him so unexpectedly rough. This
bear, discovering Quick rolling and
bowling on the clbin floor, began his
jumping -jacking in that direction again.
Quick then proceeded to carry out his
resolution to close the show. He found
stout and heavy hickory stake in the
cabin. When the dancing bear swung
around once mora to the cabin door
Quick met him and dealt him o tremend-
GUS blow on the nose that stunned him.
Before the bear could recover himself
Quich killed him with few more blows,
smashing his skull.
In doing this Quick's attention had
necessarily been taken from the other
bear for the time, but it was drawn back
in that direction in an unexpected man
ner. The hunter had scarcely dealt the
shared bear the last blow when he re-
ceived a blow himself that sent him
sprawling to the ground. He scrambled
to his feet. The second bear had
come up to take hand in the fight.
Quick had not lost his club in his fall,
but the big bear had followed up his
blow SO promptly that the hunter could
not use his weapon to advantage. He
fled to the cabin, The bear followed
him. Quick turned and aimed blow
with the club. The bear parTied it with
one of his forepaws, and knocked the
club out of Qu:ck's hands. Quick ran
to small unglazed window in one side
of the cabin, and threw himself from il
head first, leaving one-half of one trous-
els leg in the bears claws. Quick had
scarcely alighted outside the cabin when
the bear having come out by the door,
came around the corner. The hunter ran
around the cabin, followed by Bruin.
Quickgot back into the cabin few steps
aheld, found his club, and as the bear
poked his head in the door he was met
with blow on his nose that felled him
like an OK. He never got up again, fol
