In localities whcro oak forests
abound, says General Macintyrc, per-
haps the pleasantest II not the best
time for shooting these bears is In tho
month OF December, when they are fed
on acorns, which are then ripe. They
generally commence feeding about sun
set when they climb up the oak trees
and gorge themselves with acorns all
night, often not betaking themselves TO
their lairs-which are generally either
caves or thickets near their feeding
ground-until somo time after sunrise
Their whereabouts is easily dlscoy-
cred from the brokon branches showing
distinctly against tho dark foliage Of
tho trees, tho back OF the leaf OF tho
Himalayan oak being white. At the
commencement Of tho acorn season
their attention is so much engaged with
their feast that usually they are easily
approached. But on suddenly finding
themselves" "treod, their rastonishmentl Is
ludicrous to behold. A bear. he adds. when

An odd popularity Of bears Is that
when two or more OF them are found to-
gether, and one OF them happens to get
wounded, tho wounded one will some-
times manifest its resentment by say.
agely attacking one OF its companions.
A good story in this connection is told
of another sportsman. llo had stalked
a largo she bear feoding in some open
ground, with half-grown cub at Its
side. From the bears position he could
not get shot at vital place, and SO,
instead Of waiting as he ought to have
done, he fired and hit tho animal be-
hind. Hc might just as well have hit
her with lady's riding whip. The an
imal on being struck turned round TO
SEQ what was the matter, and perceivlng
nothing but her own cub feeding quietly
by her sido cauo to tho conclusion ap-
parontly that the cub had bitten her.
Consequently sho at onco rushed at the
cub to punish 1t for its presumption, and
tho two rolled over and over and dlsap-
peared In the Jungle. Tho sportsman
was too much amused at the incident TO
get another shot. Another remarkable
popularity OF bears noted by General
Macintyre is that whom boar attacks
a man 1t almost invariably goes for the
face, whoroas tiger or leopard usually
seizes limb first Hence 1t is that in
the Himalayas native villagers are not
unfrequently to bo seen with their faces

hgiously. He noted every place where
he should go, and the number OF tho
particular stair where he must breathe
In order to avoid detection. In somo
way Bessie had discovered that tho
guard at the door was changed at mid
night. Drane was to steal softly from
his room at l1:56X. AS near that hour
as he could guess he stole, according TO
directions, having punched tho key
from his lock and opened his door
with one Of tho bunch Bessie had
brought.
He orept down the stair keeping In
mind the various shrewd details OF the
plot; whore he must hide to let the
guard pass him; how no must do this,
that and tho other thing which tho
ingenuity OF the girl had devised.
And now he stood at the bottom of
the lower stair. The guard was asleep
with his head against the wall. This,
too, was according to programme.
Drane could easily have passed him to
his place OF concealment, but suddenly
new and simpler phase Of the problem
struck him. He coughed. The guard
did not move. Then he went up to the
fellow and shook him. Tho guard
awoke.
"Here you!" he cried, sleopily; go
back to your cage"
Drane seized him by the neck;
dragged him to the parlor door; pitched
him head first into the room; and before
the man could recover his balance or
his howls could bring assistance, Drano
had opened the outside door, and was
cavorting down the street.
