What is that?" asked Bell.

TOO much of it."
What do you mean"'
Il mean this-there are distinct
traces of five bears, and five bears are
rather too much for five men"
Are you sure?" said CIawbonny.
Look and see for yourself. Here
is one footprint. and there is another
quite different. These claws are Tar
wider apart than those. and see here,
again, that paw belongs to mucn
smaller bear. 1 tell you, if you look
carefully, you will see the marks OF all
five different bears distinctly"
You're right" said Bell after a
close inspection.
IF that's the case, then" said the
doctor, eve must be careful for these
animals are starving after the severe
winter, and they might be extremely
dangerous to meet"
You think they have discovered our
presence here?"
No doubt of it, otherwise why
should these footprints be in a circle
round our fort?" said Bell.
You're right" said the doctor, and,
what's more it is certain that they
have been here last night"
And other nights before that" re-
piled Altamont.
We'll, we can easily find out if they
come tonight" said Altamont.
"How?"
by effacing all the marks in given
place. Tomorrow if we find fresh
ones, 1t will be evident that they are
after u.s.
The three hunters set to work then,
and scraped the snow over till all the
footprints were obliterated for con-
siderable distance
Next morning at early dawn, Hat
teras and his companions, we'll armed,
went out to reconnoiter the state Of
the snow. They found the same iden-
teal footmarks, but somewhat nearer.
Evidently the enemy was bent on the
siege of Fort Providence.
But where can they be-" said Bell.
Behind the icebergs watching u.s."
replied the doctor. Don't let us eX-
pose ourselves imprudently"
What about going hunting, then?'
asked Altamont.
I'VE must put it off for a day or
two, think, and rub out the marks
again, and see if they are here to-mor-
row"
The doctors advice was followed,
and they intrenched themselves in the
fort The lighthouse was taken down,
as it was not. of actual use meantime,
and might help to attract the bears.
Each took it in turn to keep watch on
the upper plateau.
The day passed without sign of
the enemy existence, and the next
morning, when they hurried out TO ex-
anime the snow, they found it wholly
untouched.
"CapitaI!" exclaimed Altamont. The
bears are put off the scent; they have
no perseverance, and have grown tired
waiting for us. They are off, and
good radiance. Now let US start for
days hunting
softly, SOFTLY" said the doctor; Il
am not so sure they have gone. I think
we had better wait one day more. 1t
is evident the bears have not been here
last night, at least, on this side; but
still
We'll let us go round the plateau,
and see how things stand" said the
impatient Altamont.
All right" said Clawbonny. Come
along"
Away they went, but no trace Of the
enemy was discoverable for two miles.
Now, then, can't we so hunting?"
said Altamont.
Wait till Tomorrow" urged the
doctor again.
The American was unwilling to de-
lay, but yielded at last, and returned
to the fort.

Jim Savage. who is to be given a
benefit tomorrow night in the Orange
armory, has received word that a large
number of sailors will be present to
see Phil Schlossberg perform in his
exhibition with Sailor Cunningham in
the main bout on the big program.
Savage also received some other good
word, Nick Hayes, matchmaker for
the Quaker City Athletic Club, of
Philadelphia, stating in a letter that
he has matched the Orangeite with
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, and the late
for the fight will be fixed as soon as
Savage GOV from the injuries sus-
tanned in his recent bout with Jack
Fitzgerald.
Schlossberg is a finely developed ath-
lete and is predicted to be one of the
big men in the heavyweight division
