PART THIRD.
Such were our instructions or rather
hint to have the big feed ready for
four hungry hunters on the evening of
the fourth day hence. And so it came
to pass the next morning that all lent
assistance in getting things ready and
by eight o'clock those four mighty
nimrods were vending their way DER
the trail in south westerly direction,
across the Yellowstone River, through
Ocean Pass to Atlantic Greek, up At
lantic Greek to Two Ocean Greek,
(Two Ocean Creek comes down the
mountains on the Continental Divide
and becomes two creeks.) At the point
at which those nimrods crossed; half
of it runs east, and the other half runs
to the west. One Is called Atlantic
and the other Pacific, into which ocean

flappest Hunting Ground 10 United States.
Down Pacific Creek for several miles
the lofty peaks of the grand old Fetons
to whose dizzy heights few have ever
assembled are in plain view one hun
dred miles away, to the right
and the highest mountains in Wyom-
ing. A short turn to the left in
the trail leads the party round lime
stone out to the north branch of Buff
falo Greek, down which stream they go
crossing and re-crossing until they
reach the forks at about $50 p. m.
when they come to a halt upon the
scene of the happiest hunting ground
in the U. S., where they camped for the
next two days. They had seen during
the days travel elk tracks galore in
the thin, light snow that covered the
ground. They knew full we'll that
right here they could have one of the
greatest hunts of their lives, if only
the weather would permit; for, says
the guide, "since the weather is so
fine, we'll take an old grizzIy's hide or
know the reason why, Won't we

Charlie. "Count me in at the finish, -
says Bob. "When is all this going to
happen" says Pat. Robert Shiven.
SWELL" says Charley, "if the elk
don't get too numerous in front of my
rifle tomorrow, we'll have bear steak fol-
sEsper tomorrow night. 'That sounds
Ok reasonable" says the guide

while unpacking the horses; yes, unit
all were wrapt in slumber that night
Bob, who was better fixed with thii
worlds goods than any of the rest, ant
who stood for nearly all the expenses
of the trip, took it upon himself as hi
duty to do the cooking. So wheI
morning dawned again; while the res
of the boys were rounding up tn,
horses; Bob was stirring together thu

While they were partaking of heart,

the guide, hunt together; and Charlie
who had been in that part of tn,
country before, Several times) act a
guide for Pat (Shiven.)
Now, where do you think about go

had bears on his mind. "Why, Nv
been thinking of going up the Sout
Fork until noon and then circle roun,
to the right" "Well," says Fred
''that will do, and Bob and 1 will q
down stream and circle to the left.
With that understanding they starte
to hunt in opposite directions, an
were soon tiptoeing their way throug
the timber from one open place to an
other; among numerous band of ell
ranging from 10 to 100 to the banC
grazing on the hillsides. Charlie, hay

he law would allow him, would nc
shoot any more; but getting paid fc
his services, acting as guide to Pa
was obliged to show him such fin
specimens as he, Pat, desired if poss
