has been known to cut, without re-

So for next year am making all my

weeks OF moose hunting along with
my brother George and my friend
Tom Gass. We generally go together,
because We are all of us men who
like the rough stuff and are tough
enough to stand the hardship of liv-
ing in the open. The place we go to
is right in the heart of the primitive
Canadian forest, among big timber,
broken with lakes as still as glass,
just the very ground for moose.
We have a kind OF lodge up there.
It's just rough place that we put

with a broadex.
Only plain place, as I say, but
good enough to rough it in. We have
one big room with a stone fireplace,
and bedrooms round the sides, with a
wide veranda. properly screened, all
along the front. The veranda has a
row of upright tamaracks for its
posts and doesn't look altogether bad
In the back part we have quar-
ters where our man sleeps. We had
an icehouse knocked up while they
were building and water laid on in
pipes from a stream. So that on the
whole the place has a kind of rough
comfort about it--good enough any.

| he lay in ambush watching a herd of
elk, how he sneaked up on a mother
| elk and her recently born calf on the
| outskirts Of the band, and with a
great leap threw himself upon the
| two and killed them.
In several places we saw the skins
| Of these little wapiu licked clean and
empty of bodily structure. No other
male grizzly was permitted to enter
his domain. He was. in fact, the
monarch of the mountain, the great
bear OF Dunraven pass.
We pitched our little tent in a Sc
cluded wood some three miles from
the lake at the head of Cascade creek
and began to lay our plan of attack.
We soon found that our big fellow
was a night rover also, and visited
his various kills under the cloak of
darkness. We fashioned shelter Of
young jack pines, constructed like
a miniature corral. less than three by
six feet in area, but very natural in
appearance.

cold. the ground was pitiless, and the
! moon, nearly at its full. crept low
through a maze of mist.

NEXT day, just at sunset we got
our first view of the great bear
of Dunraven pass. He was coming
down a distant canyon trail. He
loomed like a giant in the twilight.
With long swinging strides he threw
himself impetuously down the noun
tainside. Great power was In every
movement. He was magnificent. He
seemed as large as horse, and had
that grand supple strength given to
no other predatory animal. Though
we were used to bears, strange mis-
giving came over me. We proposed
to slay this monster with the bow
and arrow. 1t seemed prepcsterous!
In the blind another long, cold
night passed. The moon drifted
slowly across the heavens and sank
in haze OF clouds at daybreak. Just
at the hush of dawn homely female
and her tow-headed progeny came
shutting by. We were desperate for
specimens, and one Of these would
match that which we already had. I
drew up my bow and let fly broad
head at one of the cubs. 1t struck
him In the ribs. Precipitately, the
whole band took flight. My quarry
fell against an obstructing log and
died.
His mother stopped, came back
several times, gaZed at him pensive-
~, then disappeared. We got out,
carried him to a distant spot and
skinned him We weighed 120
pounds. My arrow had shaved a
piece off his heart. Death was in
stantaneous.
That night, early in the watch, we
heard the worthy old boy come down
the canyon, hot in pursuit OF a large
| brown bear AS he ran the great
animal made quite a noise. His
claws clattered on the rocks and the
ground seemed to shake beneath US.

tion, and felt the keen edge Of our

course, naturally, he wants TO give
them a good time
They are only eighteen and twenty
(sisters). and that's really younger
than we care for, but with young
girls like Independently kids-any
man wants to give them a good time.
So Tom says, and think quite righ-
ly, that as the kids are going to be
there we may as well put in an ap-
pearance at the hotel and see that
they are having a good time. Their
mother is going to be with them, too.
and of course we want to give her
good time as we'll; in fact. l think
l viii lend her my moose rifle and let
her go out and shoot moose.
One thing we are all agreed upon
in the arrangement of our hunting
trip IS in not taking along anything
to drink. Drinking spoils trip of
that sort. We all remember how in
the old days we'd go out into a camp
in the bush Il mean before there used
to be any highway or any hoteD and
carry in rye whisky in demijohns
Se a gallon 1t was) and sit around
the camp fire drinking il in the eve
nings.
But there's nothing in it. We all
agree that, the law being what it is.
it is better to stick to it, 1t makes
a fellow feel better. So we shall
carry nothing in. L don't say that
one might not have a flask or some
thing in ones pocket in the car; but
only as a precaution against accident
or cold. And when we get to our
lodge we all feel that we are a darned
sight better without it.

IF we should need anything
though it isn't likely-there are
still three cases of old Scotch whis-
ky kicking around the lodge some
where; 1 think they arc kicking
around in little cement cellar with
locked door that we had made so
as to use It for butter or anything
of that sort. Anyway there are three.
possibly four, or maybe five, cases Of
Scotch there and, II we should for any
reason want st, there 1t Is. But we
are hardly likely to touch it-unless
we hit cold snap, or wet spell;
then we might; or If we strike hot,
dry weather.
Tom says he thinks there are a
couple of cases of champagne still in
the cellar; some stuff that one OF us
must have shot in there just before
prohibition came in. But we'n hard
ly use it. when man Is out moose
hunting from dawn to dusk he hasn't
much use for champagne, not till he
gets home, anyway.
The only thing Is that Tom says the
champagne might come in, useful IL
we cared to ask the two kids over to
some sort OF dinner: It would be just
a rough kind of camp dinner 1--WE
could hardly ask their mother to it),
but we think we could manage it.

they could not resist the tempta-
tion to attack the grizzly. the
most formidable wild creature
upon this continent. To many
persons the suggestion of such an
intention seemed preposterous.
Nevertheless, DR.. Pope, through
the California Academy of Sciences,
obtained permission from the ma
tional government to hunt grizzly
in Yellowstone Park, II being ex-
pressly stipulated that the bow
and arrow should be employed for
the purpose.
Much preparation, special train
ing and equipment were required.

foremost grizzly hunter of all

Tom says that we might find Il nee
essary to go over to the hotel in the
evening to borrow coal oil or side
of bacon or any rough stuff that we
need: and they do such lot OF dress
ing up at these fool hotels now that
If we do go over for bacon or any
thing in the evening we might just
as well slip on our evening clothes
as we could chuck them off the min
ute we got back.
George thinks il might not be a
bad idea--just as a way of saving
all our energy for getting after the
moose--to dine each evening at the
hotel itself. He knew some men who
did that last year and they told him
that the time saved for moose hunt
ing in that way is extraordinary.
Georges idea is that we could come
in each night with our moose-such
and such a number as the case might
be-either bringing them with US or
burying them where they die
change our things, slide over to the
hotel and get dinner and then beat II
fetch in the moose.

per ourselves with high feeding; a
plain hotel meal in a homelike style
at 50 a plate is better than cooking
up lot of rich stuff over a campfire
If we do dine at the hotel we
could take our choice each evening
between going back into the bush
by moonlight to fetch in the dead
moose from the different caches
where we had hidden them or stick
ing around the hotel itself for a
while. 1t seems that there is dancing
there. Nowadays such lot of women
and girls get the open-air craze for
the life in the bush that these big
wilderness hotels are crowded with
them.

women and they like to get right

and Of course hotels of this type in
