was a sound sleeper, and when awake
he was very wide awake. During April
and May he permitted himself 10 doze con-

but from the beginning Of June until the

real sleep just about four hours out Of every
twelve.

In his search for these delcacies Thor
used his right paw in turning over the

wed climb over the mountain and come
down on him from above" exclaimed Lang
don, laughing. Bruce, you're the most
senseless idiot on the face of the globe
when it comes to climbing mountains You'd
climb over Hardesty or Geikie to shoot
goat from above, even though you could
get him from the valley without any work
at all, I'm glad it isn't morning. We
can get that bear from the ravine -
"Mebbe," said Bruce and they started.
They walked openly over the green, flow
er-carpeted meadows ahead of them. Until
they came within at least half a mile OF
the grizzly there was no danger of his
seeing them. The wind had shifted, and
was almost in their faces. Their swift
wall; changed to a dog-trot, and they swung
in nearer to the slope, so that for fifteen
minutes a huge knoll concealed the grizzly.
In another ten minutes they came to the
raVine a narrow, roCk-Nttcrcd and preClp-
itous gully worn in the mountainside by
centuries of spring hcods gushing down
from the snow peaks above. Here they
made cautious observation.
The big grizzly was perhaps six hum
dred yards up the slope, and pretty close
to three hundred yards from the nearest
point reached by the gully.
Bruce spoke in a whisper now,
"You go up an do the stalkin', Jimmy
he said. THAT bears goin' to do one OF TWO
things If you miss or only "ouhu Hh-oHc
o. three mebbe: he's going TO investigate
YOU. or he's going up over the break, or he's
comm down in the valley-this way We
can't keep i'm from goin' over the break,
an If he tackles you-just summerset II
down the gully. You can beat i'm out. He's
most apt to come this way If you don't get
i'm so I'll wait here. Good luck to you,
Jimmy"
With this he went out and crouched be-
hind a rock where he could keep an eye
on the grizzly, and Langdon began to climb
quietly up the boulder-strewn gully.

again. with his head and shoulders boil

reminded Bruce,
Langdon sat up, knocked the ash out Of
the bowl Of his pipe and reloaded II with
fresh tobacco

He'd "a made a fine rug in your den,
Jimmy-if yo'r gun hadn't appened 70 ave

WILLIAM WlLLAvlZE VETERAN
AUTOMO6lLlST IN ACCIDENT
THIS MORNiNG-ESCAPEs FROM
MiSHAP UNlNJURED.

Ottawa today recorded another 'for-
tunate escape" from serious results in
an automobile accident when William
Willavize, 637 Madison street, was in
a machine that barely missed total
demolishment in front of west bound
c.. o. & p. car. Mr.. Willavize, who
is prominent West Ottawa octogen.
aran and noted for his skill in driv
ing car. came out of the mishap un-
injured, as did also his son, Grant
Wllavize, who was with him at the
time.
Backing from his yard onto Madison
street just as motorman Harry Funk
and Conductor Walter Reese, were
returning their car to the shops west
of town, Mr.. Willavize. who was at
the wheel, arrived on the tracks in
time for the two cars to meet. The in,
terurban car naturally played havoc
with the smaller motor leaving it
with smashed wheel and a caved in
radiator, but the blow was not sharp
enough to throw the aged driver nor
his son to the pavement.
The interurban car causing the ac-
cident arrived at the Ottawa station
at $50 o'clock. and as this is its ter.
minal 1t is sent back to the barns
to await the next trip. 1t was while
the motorman and conductor were
driving the car on reverse that the
collision occurred. Because of his DO.
sition at the rear. end of the car it
was impossible for Motorman Funk
to see Mr.. Willavize back out of his
yard onto the track.
