time had come. Toney exclaimed.
watch that clear space, hear a
bear" And Joe watched. Into the
clearing, 50 yards away swung big
"Flatfoot." Pigeon toed and stolid
he came along, his great head
swinging from side to side. Joe's
30-O6 was up to his shoulder and he
pointed at the vital spot behind the
bears fore shoulder. Bang. crash,
and the brute was down. Three guns
then opened up. Joe's and those of
the packer and guide. 1t developed
that Joe's shot would probably have
killed it. but no chances were being
taken on the brute running away or
toward the hunters. The hunt had
lasted too long for the one, life was
too valuable for the other.
OF what avail is it to describe the
return to the camp with the heavy
skin and skull. of coming aboard
the Westward which had returned to
take Joe out the very next day?
All of that is unnecessary, Joe
had his bear, his efforts were capped
with success. And like most other
crises, it had taken long to develop
but was over in an instant.
Dick and Bill got their bears in a
cove near kukak Bay. several hun
dred miles further down the coast.
Their experiences. in the main had
been similar to ours. 1t happened
one morning that they ran ashore
In their dory to look over the coun-
try for a possible camping trip.
After several weeks of hunting they
had seen no bear, but scarcely had
they placed their feet upon the
beach in this spot than three bears
were visible. playing on snow
bank far above them. Although
the bears were in plain sight from
where they stood and did not move
more than few yards in the in
terval. 1t took the party three hours
to get to the spot where the bears
were. Even with the incentive of a
bear to urge them on and the conse-
quent increased speed Of travel
three long hours were consumed
traversing the intervening country.
Some country, indeed.
The shooting of the bears was
comparatively simple once their To-
cation was known. They had re-
tired into a small patch of alders
where they were snoozing. The
largest bear. the mother, was the
target OF the first shot and several
succeeding ones. again from three
guns. though Dick Topham, it is be-
lleved, killed the large one. Then
1t became the turn of the two cubs.
None Of the animals had located the
hunters and one of them attempted
a charge. though the cubs did con-
siderable milling about.
Can | imagine, as my reader fol-
lows these lines. a murmur of pity
for the poor little cubs" If so
cheer up gentle reader, the little
things were nearly ten feet long and
three years old, perfectly capable of
killing a man and probably much
heavier than the ordinary COW. KILL
ing for the sake of killing is a
towards pastime. Killing one of
these bears, though it only be cub,
is sport of the first water for only
the hardest of men armed with the
best of rifles.
So, in the west there are four
Kodiak bear skins being tanned and
mounted for members of our party.
Some day they will be here and the
probabilities are that an opportunity
will be offered to all of you to judge
Just what the poor little cubs and
a bear similar to their papa look
like.

Claire, from her more worldly

for the office the next morning,
