1t was in September-and the Col

Phil as brown of face and stout of limb
as any of us-that the geology class,
consisting of the professor and ten pu-
pills, male an excursion into the range
with the object of taking a practical
lesson among the limestone beds at
the back OF Lincoln peak.
Away we went-feeling very hilarious

trees, chasing squirrels and chipmunks.

and behaving generally Just like what
we vera parcel of schoolboys.
Presently we emerged from the trees
and came out upon another little open
park-lille stretch of ground. Half way
across i: our attention was suddenly at
tracted by a stir among the high grass,
and out jumped little. dark-colored,
short-legged animal, which looked like
woolly pig-if there be any such thing
in nature.
Away it scuttled, and away we all
went. with a shout, in pursuit.
Phil happened to be some distance
behind at the moment. being busiIy en-
gagged in digging tarantula's nest out
of the ground with his knife; but as
soon as he saw what we were doing. he
came racing after us. shouting: "Look
out! Look outl It's "a
We did not hear what, we were maxi
ing so much noise ourselves.
But the little animal, whatever it was,
was too quick for us and disappeared
into some willows while we wee still
20 yards behind. The next moment the
willows waved and bent and out
bounced great she bear-a grizzly!
With yell of dismay we all turned
and scattering like a flock of sparrows
when a cat jumps into the midst of
them, fed for the nearest trees. Blink

PHIL KEPT COMING ON SLOWLY.
ers, quite forgetting that he was the
general of the little expeditionary
force, made such use of his long legs
that he was safely up tree before any
of the rest Of us had reached one.
AS for me, 1 never reached one at all.
In turning to run, / tripped over the
AK, and though l was up again in an in
slant, the check made me the last of
the fugitives.
The chase was very soon over. In six
jumps, as it seemed, the great beast
caught me, and, with one blow of her
paw on the middle of my back, sent me,
face downward, to the ground, with
every atom of breath driven out of my
body.
| This last circumstance was good
thing for me: l could not have moved a
muscle if l had wished to. Consequent
| ~ the bear supposed that / was dead,
and instead of tearing me up into small
pieces. as l expected, she began shifting
me all over and turning me about with
/ her claws
Suddenly, however, she ceased and be-
gan to growl, and heard Blinkers up in
his tree call out: go back! You can't
do any good. You'll only get yourself
| killed, too.'' From which ] concluded
that Blinkers and the bear had one
thought in common; they both sup
posed me to be dead.
l was beginning to recover my breath
a little by this time, and in my anxiety
to see what was going forward, made
slight movement with one arm, and
in an instant the bear had that arm be-
| tween his teeth. 1t hurt me so horribly
that / tainted. and all that happened
afterwards / gathered from the other
boys.
Phil, when he saw me knocked down,
instead of climbing up tree like the
rest, ran back to where l had dropped
the AK, and, picking it up, advanced to
my rescue.
1t was a mad thing to do, there is no
doubt about that; but Phil did it-and
without thought of his own danger
1t was in vain that Blinkers calledto him
to go back; he did not seem to hear, but
kept coming on slowly, with his eyes
fixed on the bear, and the AK held in
readiness TO strike.
The bear dropped my arm and adj
vanced step, standing across my body,
growing and turning up her lips until
all her great white teeth were exposed;
but still Phil came on. At six feet dis.
tance he stopped. The bear took a steT
forward. and then another, and then
with ali the strength of his body doubled
} by the intense excitement of the mo-
ment, Phil struck at her with such force
and precision that he split her skull
clean in two.
But, even in dying, the bear sue
ceeded in doing some mischief.
With o last convulsive effort she
struck out, and, with her great claws
tore away the front of Pills coat, vest
and shirt. and made three deep cuts al
across his chest from the left sh builder
diagonally downward. Another incl
