EPIC OF HUGH GLASS
OLD FRoNTiERsMAN'S WONDER
Full BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Horribly Msnged by Grizzly Bear,
He Was Left In the Wilderness
to Perish.

An epic story In Its essence Is the
story of heroic men battling, aided or
or frustrated by the superhuman.
John G. Neihart, In The River and
|, says that Americans do not write
epics, they live them. and he recalls
the story of old Hugh Glass. which
he declares to be wonderful enough
to be the foundation OF tremendous
Aeschylean drama. He de-. aribes him
as a giant to endure, and an angel to
forgive.
He was In the Leayenwor+h cam
paign against the Arkaras, and after
ward went as hunter with the Henry
expedition. He had friend. mere
bay, and tho two we're very close.
One day Glass, who was In advance
of the party, beating up the country
for game. fell In with grizzly, and
when the main party came up. he lay
horribly mangled. with the bear
standing over him. They killed the
bear, but the old man seemed done
for, His face had all Its features
scraped off, and one OF his legs went
wabbly when they lifted him
II was merely a matter Of one more
man being dead. SO the expedition
pushed on, leaving the young friend
with several others to see the old man
underground
But the old man was fighter and
refused to die, though he was uncon.
scious. He fought stubbornly for sew
eral days. but 1t seemed plain enough
that he would have to let go SOON
SO the young friend and the others
left the old man In the wilderness to
finish up the job by himself. They
took his weapons and FASTENED after
the main party. for the country was
hostile.
But one day old Glass woke up and
got one of his eyes open. When he
saw how things stood. he vowed that
he would live, merely for the sake Of
killing his false friend. He crawled
to spring near by, where he found a
bush of ripe bullberrles. He waited
day after day for strength, and finally
started out to crawl small matter
OF 100 miles to the nearest fort.
He did IT, Also he found his friend
after much wanderings-and forgaye
