Most of us just theorize about life.
We think we know life when we do
not. But once in a while, to some for
tunate mortal comes an experience
which brings with it a flash OF under
standing and the thing that comes to
him in that moment never again
leaves him. From that time on h.
knows that he has a soul.
James Oliver Curwood, who has
trailed the wilderness of the north
for many day, tells of one such oc-
currence. He had been a killer, a
hunter of big game for the sake OF
the sport. That there was such a

ing things never occurred to him

Thor, the king of the grizzlies. He

shot, the bullet blowing a furrow
through the beasts shoulder, but the
great bear went on his way, climbing
higher into the Rockies.
But the hunter did not give up the
trail. He would have the life of this
king of beasts. Two or three days
later in making a perilous ascent he
lost his balance and in falling broke
his rifle. He threw the useless thing
