Hunting Polar Bears
No Longer Perilous

The old method OF hunting polar
bears was as dangerous for the hunt
ers as II was for the bear, according
to Roy j. Smell, man OF action and
who knows the polar wastes Of the
North.
In the early hunting days. four nn-
tlves would start out together for
bear. When they located one, all but
one of the men would crawl up close
and attempt to hafpoon him. II they
succeeded In sticking the animal they
would hold him by leather thongs ut
tached to the harpoons, while the
fourth member Of the pnrty APP
preached n position where he could
attack the animal with a spear The
bear wns not always quiet and peace
full and not infrequently he would get
one Of the men. Now, however, the
game of bear hunting In the Arctic
Is much the same us II Is In the cane
brakes of Louisiana or the mountains
of Idaho. They use dogs to keep the
bear busy while they approach with
rifles and pick or the bear ut their
leisure.

ROCKVILLE MARYLAND FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER % 1926

easy enough TO dodge into the bush
and make for camp, where he had u
rife. But Westoby wanted to kill
him-and something wanted to kill
Westoby.
Two hundred PAGES behind Westoby
an enormous lion crouched on its belly.
1t, too, was wormlng its way through
the grass, hardly perceptible except to
Roberts trained eyes. And in two
minutes 1t would be near enough to
spring.
Roberts sat and watched In fascina-
ton, unable to stir. How soon would
Westoby fire1 When he reached the
top of that little knoll, no doubtful
then the lion would be upon him.
1t seemed as though fate had both
men In the balance and were weigh
ing them; and, with grim sense OF
amusement, Roberts waited to see
what Westoby would do.
Westoby was within 400 yards now,
and the lion within 100 PAGES Westo-
by was nearing the knoll. After him
the lion crawled, huge and 1.-THE
body, almost hidden by the grass.
Roberts could see the tip of Its tail
swaylng slightly as 1t advanced.
Westoby had reached the knoll and
now lay still. He was covering Rob
erts. The lion was only 80 PAGES be-
hind him.
When would Westoby fire2 Roberts
sat quite still. He felt sure that Yves
toby would miss him. And Westoby
was delaying-perhaps he wanted to
make dead sure Of his aim.
Roberts saw the lion rise and
crouch to spring A scream of horror
broke from Roberts lips "Westobyl"
he yelled.
At that instant the lion sprang.
Westoby leaped to his feet and
glanced backward. He was too late
to aim. The lion was upon him.
Westoby dubbed his rifle and brought
1t down on the beasts skull, Next In
slant lion and man were fighting for
the mastery-for death and life
Roberts ran toward them. But long
before he reached them the lion was
standing over its prey, worrying and
shaking Westoby as cat worries a
mouse Roberts fred his load of shot
into the lions heart.
Westoby opened his eyes He was
frlghtfully mnngled. He was dying.
He could barely speak.
"Forgivel" he whispered.
Again Roberts stretched out his
hand and held the hand Of Westoby.
How could he but forgiven The same
temptation had assalled them both.
Westoby seemed to read that, Tor he
whispered:
I'll came to Africa to kill you,
Roberts. Mary loved you. found
that out. She was going to marry me
out Of pique. She never loved me.
She always loved you"
you are not marrled2" Roberts
cried.
Westoby shook his head family, and
his eyes closed Then, opening them
again and summonlng all his remain.
ing strength, he whispered:

she would learn to love me. I came to
Africa to kill you. I meant to pre-
tend that we had met and that lion
had mangled you. Mary knew | was
coming. had told her that was go
ing to find you and bring you back to
her. Forgive"
And Roberts forgave. Five minutes
later Westoby died

A Visitor Impressed

SO accustomed have we become to the type Of
visiting foreigner who spends three days in New
York and then writes a voluminous criticism OF
everything American that it is indeed refreshing
experience to read that Viscount Aston, after a
three months tour through the west, stated that he
had enjoyed every minute Of the trip.
Zone has TO see your country in order to apprc-
cate it," he said.
And in that sentence lies the supreme criti-
csm against the visitors who have columnizcd the
United States after Inadequate and biased observa-
ton.
Rome was not built in day. Neither was Amer
lea ever seen in day, a week. month, or a year
One must know America in order to render an hon.
est commentary on the country or its people. We
have been widely and unanimously slandercd. We
have had to suffer ndgnities at the pens and type
writer's Of pcnny-a-linc petifoggers who have been
unable to honestly earn literary living. We arc
sick and tired of it,
We welcome Viscount Astor to this country as a
man of sense and discrimination Perhaps his
American wife is partly responsible for that. But
no matter-hc has been kind enough TO be kind to
us and he is welcome. The others not.
