desperate attack with his claws, spar
ing neither his face nor arms and bit
ing and scratching in a manner that
Shugro knew was bringing blood at
every contact. In falling he had lost
hold of his rifle and the gun had
slipped away out of his reach. 1t
was a case of fighting the animal,
which by this time he knew was eth

This he did with all the might he
could summon, though the battle was
so terrific that he was unable to get
on his feet Once in an effort to do
so he slipped and so badly sprained
his knee that the pain of it made him
yell in agony, and he was practically
helpless so far as standing was con-
cerned. He felt the blood of the ami
NAL splash upon his face and hands,
and knew that the thing must be des-
perately wounded, as was proven to
be the case, for at the end of ten min

ly as it had begun, and fell to the
ground, dead. Shugro called for the
dog, but she had deserted him. Not
even a whine could he get. His father
finally found and helped him home.
