about, which he had done every min
ute or so.
The sudden frantic, terrified snort
of a young hind about thirty PAGES
in front Of him was the first the stag
knew of the danger. That was fol-
lowed by an almost simultaneous
spring by the whole herd, in which
he, too. Joined; but even as he did so
he was aware of a great shape rear
Ing up suddenly at his very side He
sprang, therefore, to one side, and
realized in a flash that there was no
time for second bound. An enor-
nous grizzly bear was practically up
on him.
Swiftly he dropped his horns, but
he was too late. He could not get
them quite low enough in time.
Wh-r-r-rr! came the great bears
paw, with it's six-inch claws, in a
fearful raking, ''round-arm stroke
and struck the antlers on the side
instead OF on the point. The grand
stag reeled at the terrific impact of
the blow, his head being forced round
in spite of the enormous muscles Of
his own neck and shoulders.
Then, quick as fash. like boxer
delivering a hard attack, the bear
drove his second blow, from the other
paw. rising half up on his hind legs
as he did 50. Bat! batl sounded the
strokes-all as quickly as that-the
second blow landing clean on the
wapitfs neck. 1t was a terrific
smash. The mighty stag dropped in
stantly in his tracks, without sound,
and just as If he had been pole -axed.

tening- suspicious as always.
He was a grand figure of a beast
there In the red light OF. the setting
sun--a monster some ten feet long,
and Of vaster bulk and weight even
than his victim; massive and hairy,
hump shouldered, almost bow-legged
by reason of the enormous depth of
his great chest-a rugged king of the
mountain.
So still did he stand that a great
white tailed eagle swept down on
rushing pinions, to see II there was
a chance of snatching a bit Of venison
for herself, l suppose. But the bear
took no notice. He was listening
hard.
Presently, very far behind him, he
heard a twig snap. That was enough.
Something besides himself was fol-
lowing the deer over the divide. He
had suspected It before by the actions
OF some big-horned mountain wild

Here surge the ceaseless caravans;
Here throbs the city's heart
And down the street each takes his

To play his little part.
The tides of life flow on, flow on,
And Laughter meets Despair;
A heart might break along Broad

wonder who would careI
THE LOVE OF A MAN.
The foam on the crest of billow
The head on a trimming glass,
The south winds kiss, and its

The throb of heart, the flash of
an eye;
Mans love-and it's sure to pass.
THE LOVE OF A MAID.
The hush of the waiting morning,
The night birds tremulous call.
The voice that sobs from the yearn-

The soul awakened that may not
sleep,
A love that endures through all.
