IN NO DANGER FROM BEAR
squsw's Act Seemed Extremity Of
Bravery, but Simply Meant She
Understood Brute's Nature.

While e rested a few minutes. the
women espled in a little springy dell
some unusually fine moss. which they
at once began to gather, writes Arthur
Heming I'm the Worlds Work. Indian
women dry Il and use II In a number
of ways, especially for packing about
the little naked bodies OF their babies
when lacing them to their cradle
boards. The incident, however, re-
minds me Of what once happened to
an Indian woman and her eight-year
old daughter when they were gather
Ing moss about mile from their
camp on the shore Of Great Slave
lake. They were working in n mus
keg and the mother, observing a
clump Of gnarled spruces little way
on, sent her daughter there to see II
there were any berries. Instead Of
fruit the child found nice round hole
that led Into cavern beneath the
roots of the trees that stood upon the
little knoll, and she called to her
mother TO come and see 1t. On kneel.
Ing down and peerinG within, the
mother discovered a bear inside, and
instantly turning about, hauled up her
skirt and sat down In such a nay
that her figure completely blocked the
hole and shut out all light. Then she
dispatched her child on the run for
camp to tell father to come lmmedi-
ately with his gun and shoot the bear.

craft such an act displays rema ikable
bravery. but to an Indian woman II
meant no such thing; 1t was merely
the outcome of her knowledge Of
bears, for she well knew that as long
rs all light was blocked from the hole
the bear would lie still. But perhaps
you wonder why she pulled up her
skirt. To prevent 1t from being soiled
or tOrn2 No, that was not the reason.
Again 1t was her knowledge OF bears
that prompted her, for she knew that
II by any strange chance the bear did
move about in the dark and II he did
happen to touch her bare fgure-for
Indian ladies never wear lingerie
the bear would have been so mystified
on encountering a living thing In the
dark that he would make never an
other move until light solved the mys-
terry. However, father came with q
rush and shot the bear and the brute
was q big one, too.
