The only alternative now was trCc,

time growing continuously, and now
and then reaching up the trunk as far
as he could. When an hour had
passed this became very monotonous
to the DOCTOR
As he was searching his case to sec
it he had any weapon that he could use
against the bear, an idea that would
at least help to pass the time came
into his mind, and he acted on it,
He took a small bottle from the case
and bound it to a small branch in such
way that he could manipulate it
handily. He poured it full of ether,
end let j. Gown to where the bear was
leaning against the trunk. One push
from the paw spilled the ether, but
he filled it again and again let it down.
This time the same thing happened
but the results were far more salts
factTry. The ether spilled over the
bea7's face and caused him to sneeZe
and puff A third bottle was tried,
with tna same effect. but when the
fourth was ready, the bear had enough
and took position a little distance
away.
BY moving az though to get down,
the doctor brought bruin back to close
quarters. He made little poke with
piece I paper and as the bear
stretched up his nose he broke it, The
paper struck the fur, and the bear got
the full dose. Many times this was
repeated, all kinds of ruses being nee
essary 10 get the bear TO step up and
take tne dose.
Finally the bear got sleepy and lay
down beside the tree. This was what
tie doctor wanted, and he was soon
giving the ethe} in regular quantities.
It was aorne time before he dared get
down freq. the tice.
