the Biz Bear.

the sig 6ear.
The red bear of Asia lives in lofty
mountain solitudes, rarely coming be-
low an altitude OF 5000 feet. For the
greater part of the year he is content
with a vegetarian diet and leads a
blameiess and estimable life, but In
the spring he becomes mischievous,
and then a man who pursues him in
his native haUnts must be a mountain
eer as well as a hunter. The follow
ing incident from sport and Life In

in the Rakhiot glen, not only a robber,
but a trucculent one, who committed
his crimes in the broad light Of day
and cared for neither man nor dog.
Gul Sher encountered him when out
with t, noted shot from among the
small party OF officers then at Gilgit.
Behind them yawned a precipice; in

slavering at the mouth. They faced

looked round over his shoulder. The
bear came on. Then T. slowly put his

the stalker said, land he told me that
he was just looking for the easiest
place to go down the precipice in case
