STIRRING ADVENTURES IN PURSUIT IF BEAR
 COT FINE SPECIMAN

Obtaining a bearskin clad only in his bare skin was the strange lot befalling E. J. Bath, who re, turned to Seward yesterday from the Knik vicinity where, with hunting pardner, he went thru week of hazards which would put some of the famous exploits of Rex Beach's heroes, to shame Do tell!
 Yes indeed. brother!
 The first night out from Palmer they had difficult time trying to make their pack horses walk, a hand layed walk they had spent much energy on; the horses were taken back and the second start was made aiming in the general direction of across the glacier.
 Thirty-five miles were reeled off before the boys called it day and after breasting the last water crossing, which was ac- complished by total dishabille, their clothing and outfit being carried across the icy blue and fast flowing Steram, on the top of their heads
 Just as they brought the last pack across one caught a glimpse of black bear within shooting distance and a couple of we'll placed shots by Bath put his 'light' out. And both hunters still naked.
 l After putting on their shirts and as they were just slipping in to their trousers, another bear was sighted but, the animal showed his gears into high and speedily moved away from that place.
 Some say that the weird ap- partition of the two unclad sports men frightened the first bear to death but the wounds shoot that story all to pieces.
 In the meantime the glacier has broken, caused by the penetrating rays of the sun, and upon their way to the railroad, the men were again compelled to walk miles in an effort to find a passable water crossing only to repeat their previous performance, that of undressing in the mosquito and cant ee-'em" laden atmosphere, and plunging into the powerful current. After many dangerous at- temptS in which they lost head nets, shoes, and other items of necessity, and with one match left, they made it. A roaring fire 1 soon dried of the muck the boys had covered their bodies with as a protection against pests, then | the long hike to Eklutna which { they reached just before mid night, tired, hungry and com

pletely worn out.
 This isn't half of the yarn but sufficient to reveal Bath went thru an experience which not only is seldom met with i'll this day of alleged civilization in the North country, but one which should bring great joy in retelling to his grandchildren.
 And Bath brought back beau tiful specimen of a hide; which is tthe main thing.

calmer. He peered out in new
hope that he could see. Then his
hand almost froze to the stick.
For parallel with his left wing
was a shadowy darkness that
was not night--a blurred some
thing that flashed by not 100 feet
away.
The truth burst on him. He
was in The Trap. But for that
sudden turn he would have struck
headlong-and the pass would
have claimed its third victim.
There was one chance--he must
keep that menacing cliff in sight.
The instant he lost it he was gone
Foot by foot, he edged closer,
ruadering cautiously in as the
wall curved away and kicking
hastily outward when 1t jutted
toward him. A quick instinct told
him to look ahead. A ledge OF
rock rose directly in his attn. He
zoomed over it by scant mar
gin, his whole body tense. A
furry OF snow caught him full
in the face SO that he was blinded
for the second. When he glanced
back hastily to the side the noun
tain was no longer visible.
For half a minute he flew on,
execting at any instant to crash.

chance he pushed a door at the
end of the hall.
Once in here with his light
trained on what the room held
his eyes narrowed with excite
ment. The walls were cabinet
lined and these were filled with
the valuables he had come TO
steal. Gold shimmered and jewels
glittered and there We're no locks,
Here was a rich and easy haul
all ready to hand.
The bandit took precedence over
the lover; Danny forgot Iris for
the first time in weeks. Never
theless he went about his work
in a deliberate way, beginning at
a cabinet in the near corner. He
examined each piece and ap-
praised 1t; If it were unusually
distinctive he passed it up. Such
things were too readily traced; no
fence would handle them.
Some he held only long enough
to pry loose the jewel settings
and drop those in his pocket.
Jewels, after all, were his best
touch; recut and put on the mar
ket, not even experts could iden-
tify them.
He reached for = grotesque

suspended in mid-air, his head
came up with a jerk. He stood
as II frozen, lips pulled in a
snarl. The clatter from the street
came in dimly; the house re-
mained as it had been. dark and
silent.
But the Spook knew. Thus
does the jungle beast know when
danger enters into some distant
thicket; thus do the wild things
in northern forests feel the ap.
proach OF conflagrations they can
neither see nor hear, and flee.
Even so the Spook. He made

And he made for the front of
the house. From a window there
he saw a man lettering in the
shadow of a lamp post; another
stood in a doorway, casually, as
If he had paused to glance up
the street. Another was stopping
over, apparently tying a shoe
lace just below the window.
The building was surrounded.
Two things he could do: walk
out and give himself up quietly
or make q dash and get drilled.
The dicks over the way who
seemed so unconcerned lounged
with right hands in pockets; they
had the house, covered, az well as
the street, for a block each way.

Nell shrugged and fingered. Not

q fortuitous circumstance. Did she

That seemed the logical thing to

uneasily and the other girl caught
the movement. She brought up in

with a fine casualness stepped into
the street and walked on.
Mary went into the house. It

citement running through her, tell

If It had been paper; he fished q
skeleton key from his pocket,
opened the door and walked in.
A moment he stood listening,
shifting like a dog. eyes straining
into the dark, He knew there
was nobody there; 1t was early in
the evening and the caretaker. as
he found out beforehand, had
gone to the movies.
He used his flash then, lighting
the way in leisureiy manner up
the stairs. Plenty Of time; only
amateurs got nervous and bnngled
things by hurrying.
He followed a corridor to
room on the right. This, as it
happened, was q library: he
flashed his torch on shelves of
books. a bronze Buddha squatting
upon a. great mantei; soft luxuri.
Gus hangings; furnishings Of great
price.
1t struck him all at once that
he had seen just such place be-
fore. The Ring house--the room
where the little brown one had
discovered him. This then, was
like HER home, the pale-haired,
gray-eyed girl who was always in
h;a vnind
He swore softly and ran
handkerchief across his forehead.
He had come out to- forget her
tonight. He had q dim notion
that if he could stir up his old
.zest in the racket, Iris auto
n1atically would pass from his
mind. Just something new to
her, was he? Oh, sure, Nell had
the dope. The thing was nutty
any way a guy wanted to looK
at 1t.
But he remembered how she
put her cheek against his
shoulder when they danced and
the electric touch of her cool
little hand. 1t dragged him down
into turmoil again; his heart and
his head started the old battle.
He began to wander through
the rooms, obllvious of what they
offered of plunder, but curious
and enquiring, moved by ths
thought that all such as this he
saw would be part Of Iris life.
The drawing room, austere and
stately, shrouded in heavy cotton
coverings; the dining-room. oak
paneled, stretching into distances;
a music-room.
Still in q maze Of wonderment,
he went on upstairs, turning his
torch beyond the doors that
gave so easily to his soft touch.
A certain grandeur about most Of
these rooms awed and puzzled
him. But he found, in the end,
a bedroom all ivory and pale
green.
He muttered, and backed out.
He felt as If satiny arms had
closed about his neck; the family
spicy perfume Iris used took his
breath.
He stumbled q. little as he con-
tinued toward the rear Of the
house and Il was purely hy
