NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 Her thick ears laid back against the burly head, rangs flashing. high shoulders rocking as the great. curved claws slashed through the moss. She was huge beast weighing more than thousand pounds-and the power Of those ter rife muscles was beyond the wit of man 10 estimate.
 Ivan had never been in greater danger. nor was such conceivable. The two natives on the hill above instantly gave him up for lost and fed desperately. lest the enraged bear should turn on them. And in Peie's mind two thought flashed like rockets-one Of the white, pure bril- liance Of star, the other. so strange and sullon and red. like the sun seen through the smoke of forest fire, that it seemed beyond the pale of heaven-born mankind. At that in- stant Pete knew surely that he had only to hold his fire. and Ivan would be torn to pieces before his eyes,
 No blame could be laid on himself Tor failure to stop the charge. He had but one shell in his gun. and he might have sore need of that in his own defense. From the position in which he stood it was a doubtful shot al best. moi. because he could not hit the great form Of the bear. but be- cause he could not reach her vitals. Ivan was firing desperately with his pistol and maddencd by many minor wounds. it was wholly probably that the bear would turn toward Pete after she had struck her first enemy to tho earth. In that case the guides only hope would lie in saving his one shell for shot between the glowing eyes or into the throat at close range; there would be no time or chance to procure other shells from his pocket and reload his rife.
 Yet at the same instant that this knowledge came to him, his love for Dorothy commanded him as never before. Perhaps she loved this man. and thus he must fight for him just as he would fight for her.
 These two opposing impulses. and all the thoughts that contered upon them flashed 10 his consciousness in tho twinkle of an eye.
 His gun sprang to his shoulder. He looked along inc barrel. The bear had reared up. preparing 10 strike, and at thi. range Pete could hardly miss the hugo form: tho question was whether or not he could reach a vital place. Put at the crack of the rife the roaring bear pitched forward, in unearthly silence, n the moss.
 Tho rest vas like dream. Ivan then pocketing his pistol: the fleeing forms of the natives; the hills unchanged against the gray clouds. This man was no coward his son Of Asia---and he was able 10 smile faintly as he turned 10 his -escuer.
 That vas a good shot. Pete" he said in q voice that hardly trembled. T owe you some extra days pay for hat. \ few jumps more. and I'm lfraidwe'd have had two handsome gentlemen 10 carry back 10 Geofeis, Instead of one"
 lbhL ltle ftaFfFlN ufdfn. ne WIS gwept with eyultation. not at the suc- ,essful shot he had made, but at his ludden freedom from the dominance ,f his own passions. He need no onger fear his impulses. He had escaped from himself and had come pui beyond. true to his ideals and his heritage Of chiyalfy and manhood.
