Shouldn't wonder if it amt bear or a

"A little further on the sides became
more inclined, and finally we struck
spot well covered with timber, where,
Ivy using the butts of our rifles here and
there as poles, we managed to climb to
The summit. From here we caught sight
of q bears track leading the opposite
way. We turned and followed it,
and had not gone three hundred
yards before we came suddenly upon as
:lgly specimen of the bruin tribe as it
has ever been my chance to see, sitting
Dn his launches and giving his entire
attention to his face, which he was rub

me, and l aimed at the same place, this

Ten, twenty, thirty minutes passed

this was responded to, and then snap
ping of dry sticks told us that our game
was close at hand. A few minutes later
a massive form, Surmounted by big ant

from us, but only to disappear before
either of us could get shot. McDou-
gall pushed the canoe in to the bank and
sprang ashore. |, in the excitement,
forgot how sore was and followed.
Keep close beside me-" he sang out.
That dang moose has gone, but we will
follow him.
Hardly. however, had these words
left his mouth than we found ourselves
confronted by 1,500-pound bull, who
shook his head, stamped one OF his feet
and charged so suddenly and unexpect-
edly that for the second time that
dav we, the hunters, became the
hunted. McDougall fired straight at
the beast, jumping aside as he did so,
and calling to me to do the same. But
the moose came forward so quickly
that l think | must have lost my head.
Anyway, caught my foot in a bough
and fell head foremost under the two
front hoots of the enraged animal,
one of which came down on my
rife, breaking it short off at the
barrel, and the other severely bruising
and crushing my hand. This fall, Nc

moccasins, with the bear not ten PAGES
in our rear. Then, in moment, to my
diSmay, found myself on the very edge
OF the gorge. over which | went like a
jackrabbit, before | could stop myself,
catching sight as did 50 of the guides
legs in the air, as he followed me.
"When | recovered enough to realize
| was still alive | looked around for Nc
Dougall. Al first | could not see him;
then voice close by said: Are you

if you can; get along to where we left

so cant move.' When | pepred
through the branches this was what
saw:
Below me, a little to the right, a
small tree had been blown over i'll such
a way that it janmed between the two
sides of the gorge, forming sort OF
natural bridge, in the center OF which
hang McDougail, with his arms and legs
claSped round the trunk of 1t, monkey
fashion. At one end was bruin, who
had found his way down the deuce only
knows how, and who was performing
sort of jubilee. dance on two
legs. so sure did lie feel now or his prey.
At the other end the cliff rose mp nifty
feet above him and hundred feet be-
low, so that he could neither advance
nor retreat, while, to add to the gravity
of the position, every movement made
by the bear caused the tree to turn half
over, as though it worked on pivot, so
that one moment the guide would be
above and the next below.
'Once down made all speed for the
point where we had climbed the gorge,
clambered to the top, secured rifle,
and arrived at the edge where L mad
taken my unintcntional fly through the
air jIst in time to see the bear, who
doubtless had got tired of waiting, ad-
vance on McDOugall. 1t took just five
shots to settle him; then he looSed his
hold. and with snort that might have
been a curse or prayer he fell crash

him.
"At 10 o'clock that night. wearing our
heavy coats, ana with couple or
blankets, we started off for moose III

is known as the 'thoroughfare,' to an
other lake. somewhat larger than the
one near which our camp was located.
Across this we padded about couple
of miles till McDougall had Sc

cealed by the bushes Oh the shore.
Here he commenced to blow on birch

distinct yet distant answering call.

forget, for just when we had got three
tourths of the journey done and L

tried desperately to swim to land |

Cloud Advertise ng.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The old idea of advertising by throw
ing illuminated designs on the clouds
has been revived in England, and SOME
of the Loncon papers are appalled, at
the prospects which it opens out. 1t
appears that select party of engineers
gathered together near London made
some very successful experiments by
throwing luminous letters OH clouds
by means or electricity, and the sugges-
ton to cover the sky with huge flaming
advertisements naturally followed.
One leading paper, after EXPIRE ssing the
conviction that the county Ouncil have
battled in vain against "sky signs" on
the tops OF houses, if the clouds them
selves are to be utilized for business
purposes, states that it mas received
letter from three electricians to the
effect that they patented an invention
of this nature six months ago. They
further assert that not only did they
succeed in projecting the images of
letters and landscapes on natural
cloudS.b but were able TO created artificial
clouds for the purpose, so as to be prac-
tically independent of the weather.

In regard to the habit of partridges of
flying into civilization and a popular
superstition regarding them,an Augusta
man says: Zone flew on our premises
and was captured. Then came up the
question whether we should kill the
bird or allow it to live. At that time
there was general superstition that if
a partridge came to the house where a
sick person lay, and the bird was killed
and the sick person ate the broth. it
would effect cure. There was a girl
sick at our house, and the doctors had
given up her case as hopeless. Some of
the family said kill the partridge and
give the sick girl the broth. But the
sick girl and others were for permitting
the partridge to live. We were equally
divided. and agreed to let one of the
neighbors, whom we saw coming to the
house. decide whether the partridge
should be killed or not. He said kill it,
and we did, and the sick girl ate the
broth and got we'll"
