shot.

caught a glimpse of his body He
was behind some fir-trees about seven
ty yards off. and | could not see which
way he was standing. and so fired

My aim was true, and the huge beast
crashed down-hill through the ever
greens. pulling himself on his fore
legs for fifteen or twenty rods, his
hind quarters trailing. Racing for
ward. | broke his neck. His antlers
were the finest l ever got. A couple
of whisky-jaeks appeared at the first
crack of the rifle with their customary
astonishing familiarity and needless
ness of the hunter; they followed the
wounded bull as he dragged his great
carcass down the hill. and pounced
with ghoulish bloodthirstiness IN the
gouts Of blood that were s%prinkled
over the green heritage.
These two bulls lay only a couple of
hundred yards apart. on a broad game
trail, which was as well beaten as a
good bridle-path. We began to skin out
the heads; and as we were finishing we
heard another bull challenging far up
the mountain. He came nearer and
nearer. and as soon as we had ended
our work we grasped our rifles and
trotted toward him along the game
trail. He was very noisy, uttering his
loud. singing challenge every minute or
two. The trail was so broad and firm
that we walked in perfect silence.
After going only five or six hundred
yards, we got very close indeed. and
stole forward on tip-toe. listening to
the roaring music. The sound came
from a steep, narrow ravine. to one
side of the trail. and l walked toward
it with my rifle at the ready. A slight
puff gave the elk my wind. and he
dashed out of the ravine like a deer;
but he was only thirty yards off, and
my bullet went into his shoulder as he
passed behind a clump of young spruce.
l plunged into the ravine, scrambled
out of 1t. and raced after him. In a
minute l saw him standing with droop-
ing head. and two more shots finished
him. He also bore fine antlers. 1t was
a great piece of luck to get three such
fine bulls at the cost of half a days
light work; but we had fairly earned
them, having worked hard for ten
days, through rain, cold, hunger, and
fatigue, to no purpose. That evening
my homecoming to camp. with three
elk-tongues and a brace of ruffed
grouse hung at my belt. was most hap

Both Of the elk were evidently very
much excited, answering each other
continually; they had probably been
master bulls, but had become so ex-
hausted that their rivals had driven
them from the herds, forcing them to
remain In seclusion until they regain
ed their lost strength. AS we crept
stealthily forward, the calling grew
louder and louder, until we could hear
the grunting sounds with which the
challenge of the nearest ended. He

All these elk-trails have striking
popularity. They lead through thick

a view far and wide over the country

on the great plateau, scanned with
deep, narrow ravines. Reaches OF

open forests of varying size. Almost
Immediately we heard the bugle Of a
bull elk, and saw a big band Of cows
and calves on the other side of a val

them, one very large, and we tried
to creep up on them; but the wind
was battling and spoiled our stalk So
we returned to our horses, mounted
them, and rode a mile farther, toward
a large open wood on a hillside. When
within two hundred yards we heard
directly ahead the bugle of a bull,

able TO return to his work as keeper al
the Zoo IN a few days.
Rose, who has earned the name Of the
Man Of Iron al the hospital for the
way in which he stood the pain resulting
from the snaxe bite. said last night he
was feeling much better. and that the
throbbing in his arm had nearly ceased.
The patients eyes are bright. and he
has so far recovered as TO laugh and talk
The discoloration in the arm has almost
disappeared
Dr. Carr, IN speaking Of the remarkable
courage shown by Rose in the last few
days. said:
He IS one Of the grittiest men ever
met. He suffered intense agony for forty
eight hours. and he has not lost his
nerve. Antitoxin and medicine are un-
doubtedly absolute essentials, but wheth-
er a patient recovers or not depends
largely on the man himself II he gives
UP and believes his condition is hopeless.
his chances for recovery decrease Rose
has fought with me every minute since
he was bitten He has been allowed 10
sleep only half an hour at a time, for
fear he would sink into q stupor from
which he could not be awakened
To Dr. Carr is attributed much credit
by physicians familiar with the case. I,
is thought the snake bite would have
been fatal had not the expert worked day
and night, fighting nature with science.
