She wheeled and struck again like lightning But
1shmael was already gone. He crouched, snarlng
softly, some dozen feet away, challenging her to
pursue.
But the bear for all her rage was not to be lured.
The wound she had received was painful enough in
Decd but it not grave. Her opponents jaws
wide enough to inct serious damage her great
furry limb She knew that in nmbleness she

her den beneath the rocky lip of the RIDGE and their
appettes made demand upon her breasts that diet
of wood grubs and wild tubers hardly enabled her to

with indignant grumbng she fell to the repast but
keeping the while wary eye on the foe.
NOV, Ishmael as it CHANGED knew all about that
~ den the ridge and its precious occupants. He
had surveyed it from safe distance, crashing his
venture of invading it. Now, however, his rage
botted out his meager endowment OF caution. Yet
his cunning, even So did not desert him. He made
final threatening rush at his great adversary, to make
sure of attracting her undivided attention And then
if daunted at last by the fury of her counter attack
he darted away-not too swftly-n direction exactly
opposite to that which would lead him to the den He
kept the moont patches of open and the old bears
eyes followed him keenly till he was lost in the con-
fusion of the shadows.
Satisfied at last that he was we'll beyond eyeshot he
wheeled in his tracks, made short detour, and sped
straight for the crest of the ridge
The old bear had her den in little cavern with
entrance just where the tilted strata of slate
which formed the extremity of Blue Ridge broke off
sharply to overhang deep raw inc Up from the ravne,

away like snake into the underground.
SOME five minutes later, while creeping swiftly under
the branches of dense fir thicket, he ran full upon
something and alive lying huddled up the
ground. His nose had not warned him-perhaps be-

had warned him, because the motoness little form,
both in color and in outline seemed to melt into its
by surprise. His practsed jaws went instantly and
unerringly to this quarry's throat There
sharp beat of agony and terror pathetically brief

Then the other descended ike a piledriver
on his slender loins. Even in his death
throb Ishmael's jaws worked, biting madly
and blindlv. But in second or two it was
all over. He lay without culver, shape
less mass of blood and fur beneath the
avengers feet.
The old bear drew back and eyed the
into the den, whimpering with anxiety.
The uninjured cub sprawled forward to
greet her. She gave him hasty lick and
sniff assuring herself that he was not hurt,
and then turned to the dead one. Whining,
she shifted at it, and licked it, and rolled it
over tenderly with her paw. It was per-

With dripping jaws and hideous snarl, Ishmael
whipped about to rid himself of this Intellectual as

sound of swift padding on the rocks outside With
lightning bound, if his body all steel
springs, he reached the mouth of the cave.
IN the instant the mother bear breathess with
haste, reached it also Some shock of instructive
fear had disturbed her at the very beginning of her
feast, and she had not fingered think about it. She
had come. One huge paw, with sweeping stroke

make up her mind that 1T
was dead. When she could
no longer doubt it, however,
she stopped whining. Lifting
the limp little body in her
jaws, she carried it outside
the cave and laid it down
on a steep slope of rock. As
if this were just what she had
intended, it slipped slowly
from its place and fell
sprawlingly, rolling over and
over, till it lodged and hung
in the branches of an aged
spruce some fifty feet below.
The mother did not stay
to watch it. Turning back
abruptly, she threw herself
once more upon the carcass
of Ishmael, beating it and
rending it with her claws till
it resembled nothing that
had ever roamed the wilds.

Carefully as its anxious mother had hidden
it, the baby fawn had met the doom of
the wild.
Ishmael liked young vension even better
than porcupine; so, though he was not
hungry, he drank the warm blood greedily,
and even managed to partake of little
solid dessert. While thus pleasantly oc-
cupied, however, he kept a sharp lookout
for the return of the doe, whose knife
edged hoofs and mother rage would, as he
knew, make her dangerous even for him.
Suddenly there sounded brusk swishing
and crashing of branches. But it was not

into the thicket. 1t was the great black

bear. She had followed him
up; and now she was come
to rob him of his kill.
For a second or two Ish-
mael went all but blind with
fury. He crouched fiat
upon his prey, facing the
intruder with SO malignant
a rage that it almost seemed
to erase the disparity in
their statures. The bear,
however, cared nothing for
his rage. She numbered
forward and struck swiftly
at this small brown beast
that looked SO presumptous
as to defy her.
The blow fell, of course,
on nothing. Ishmael had
vanished like a shadow. An
instant later the bear felt a
piercing pang in the great
muscles just above her heel.
