their age may give them an apear-
ance Of novelty at this late day. We
simply took up our rifles and follow
ed the big fellow to his home. which
we found in a cave under an over
hanging rock. II was so located as TO
give an excellent view Of the whole
geysa basin. this e "a having evident
ly been a great lover of natural beau
~ in landscape. Ii seemed a pity to
destroy so intelligent a creature. but
We felt h our claims were first, so
we shot him as he came out at the
mouth of the cave. His robe was a
fine one. not the largest I'm the world,
as i have said. but big enough to keep
US warm all that winter.
The oldest part of my story remains
to be told. AS We entered the cave
we became conscious OF a ishy smell.
to which, however, our olfactories
gradually became accustomed. We
found the entire interior of the cave
lined with neatly stacked rows and
tiers of cooked trout. and I must say
that / have never tasted trout done
more perfectly to n turn. OF course.
the bear had plenty of time. and had
nothing ON his mind to interfere with
his cooking operations. which is rarely
the case with most modern cooks.
We had plenty OF salt with us, md.

ed trout we wanted. / must say / new

We're rescued about March by a too
jealous cousin of mine who. with a
party of friends. came over before the
snow was half settled. They lost -four
horses and two men trying to rescue
us, only TO find us really indignant at
their interference. There was a breast
work of fish bones as tall as your head
in front OF the cave when we were
discovered.
1t is astonishing to what extremes
ones appetite will lead him in the
pure. cold mountain air of the winter
time. when he feels that there is no
LANCER OF indigestion and not the
slightest risk of deficit in the food sup
ply. We never kept any exact account.
but afterward. in a rough way. we esti-
mated that that bear must have caught.
cooked and slowed away something
like 1926 trout. Of an average weight
of perhaps three and a half pounds.
This fact shows alike the intelligence
and the industry of the bear. for which
animal I must confess | have
sine that time entertained the
highest respect. While there
was nothing impossible, or mir
aculous. or unduly sensational in this
adventure. i believe IL to be true that
few people have had an experience
with a bear like that which I have
described. w. T. PIGOTT.

There is no escaping the iron laws Of
