In a fash they were out of the open
door, and there again, with the sud-
denness of a panorama, they saw an
other pictureNPaul kneeling in the mid
die Of the clearing, taking careful aim
at the retreating form of the first bear.
They saw the puff of blue smoke rise
from his rifle, they heard the sharp re-
port, and the bear rolled over on its
face.
Steinmetz and the keeper were walk
ing toward Paul. Claude de Chaux-
vile, standing outside his screen Of
brushwood, vas staring with wide,
fear stricken eyes at the hut which he
had thought empty. He did not know
that there were three people behind
him watching him. What had they
seen? What had they understood?
Catrina and Maggie ran toward Paul.
They were on snowshoeS and made
short work Of the intervening distance.
Paul had risen to his feet. His face
was grave. There was a singular
CLEAN in his eyes, which was not a
CLEAN of mere excitement such as the
chase brings into some mems eyes.
Steinmetz looked at him and said
nothing. For a moment Paul stood
still. He looked around him, noting
with experienced glance the lay of the
whole incident-the dead form Of the
bear ten yards behind his late hiding
place, $50 yards from the hut, 100
yards from the spot whence Karl Stein
metz had sent his %unerring bullet
through the bears brain. Paul saw
it all. He measured the distances. He
looked at De Chauxvllle, standing
white faced at his post not fifty yards
from the carcass Of the second bear.
Paul seemed to see no n but De
Chauxville. He went straight toward
him, and the whole party followed in
breathless suspense. Steinmetz was
nearest to him, watching with his keen,
quiet eyes.
Paul went up to De Chauxville and
took the rifle from his hands. He open
ed the breech and looked into the
barrels. They were clean. The rife
had not been fred off.
He gave a little laugh Of contempt
and, throwing the rife at De Chaux-
ville's feet, turned abruptly away.
It was Catrina who spoke.
"If you had killed him." she said,

like a e on the stage. The second
bear raised his powerful %forepaws as
he approached. One blow would tear
open Paul's brain.
A terrific report sent the girls stag
gering back, for a moment paralyzing
thought. The keeper had fired through
the window, both barrels almost ST.
simultaneously. It was a question how
much lead would bring the bear down

to grunt acqufescence to all that
sounds like abuse.
"And what is this prince like? Have
you see him?" went on Paul.

"Ah, just open your mouth a little
wider. Yes, you have a nasty throat

The next conner was afflicted with a
wound that would not heal, a common
trouble in cold countries. While at

continued his conversation with the
last patient.

Paul coolly.
But there was no reply. After this
there was a sullen silence, which Paul
could not charm away, charm he never

thoughtfully back to the castle. There
was danger in the air, and this was

in the direction whence the game might
| be expected to come.
1t subsequently transpired that Paul
| was asking De Chauxville the where
about Of Steinmetz, who had gained his
place Of concealment unobserved by
| either. De Chauxville could give him
no information, and Paul went away
to his post dissatisfied. Karl Stein
metz must have seen them. He must
have OWNED the subject Of their con-
! %versation, but he remained hidden and
gave no sign.
Paurs post was behind a fallen tree,
n the watchers in the hut could see
him, while he was completely hidden
from any animal that might enter the
open clearing from the far end. he
turned and looked hard at the hut, but
the larch branch across the window eff
~fectually prevented him from discov-
ering whether any one was behind it
or not.
Then suddenly the keeper gave a lit
tie grunt and held up his hand, listen
ing with parted lips and eager eyes.
There was a distinct sound of break
ing branches and cracking underwood.
They could see Paul cautiously rise
from his knees to a crouching attitude.
They followed the direction Of his gaze,
and before them the monarch Of these
forests stood In clumsy might. A bear
I had shambled to the edge Of the clear
ing and was standing upright, growing
and grumbling to himself, his great
paws waving from side to side, his
shaggy head thrust forward with u
recurring jerk singularly suggestive of
| a dandy with an uncomfortable collar.
These bears of northern Russia have
not the reputation Of being very fierce
unless they are aroused from their
winter quarters, when their wrath
knows no bounds and their courage
recognizes no danger.
The bear stood poking his head and
looking about with little, fiery, blood
shot eyes for something to destroy.
His rage was manifest, and in his
strength he was a grand sight. The
majesty of power and a dauntless cour-
age were his.
It was De Chauxville's shot, and
while keeping his eye on the bear Paul
| glanced impatiently over his shoulder
from time to time, wondering why the
Frenchman did not fire. The bear was
a huge one and would probably carry
three bullets and still be a dangerous
adversary.
The keeper muttered impatiently.
They were watching Paul ~breathless-
~. The bear was approaching him. 1t
would not be safe to defer firing m
other second.
Suddenly the keeper gave a short ex-
clamation Of establishment and threw
up his rife.
There was another bear behind Paul.
shambling toward him, unseen by him.
All his attention was riveted on the
huge brute forty yards in front of him.
1t was Claude de Chauxville's task to
protect Paul from any flank or rear at
tack, and Claude de Chauxville was
peering over his covert, watching with
blanched face the second bear, and lift
ing no hand, making no sign. The
bear was within a few yards Of Paul,
who was crouching behind the fallen
pine and now raising his rife to his
shoulder.

such that Steinmetz sent for Paul, and
the three men went together to the lit
tie o beyond the smoking room in
the old part Of the castle.
