Don't hesitate to us« your rifle if he gets into close quar ters with that big bear. I hail rather jtion. Onco l missed my footing nn-l I rolled nut'l slid twenty feet, down a steep incline, clutching vainly at stones ami ! roots only to pitch headlong into a I thorny bramble that held me a prisoner i until Bltz hacked me out with his knife. ¡ While l was pulling the thorns out oí my flesh and clothes Bltz went forward to rcconuoiter a great fissure a few hun dred feet up tlie mountain side. When ■ ready to follow him I noticed a best rel t hanging in the air, its shadow vibrat ing at iny feet. Suddenly it swooped downwards and then I spied its clcnr ' ent figure outlined against the sky at. the top o f a dead pine, and one foot clutched some small animal its keen eye had marked for its prey. Right at tlie foot'of tlie pine I saw a great dark moving mass which I knew was a bear. It rearcd 'up and tore the bark of tho trae with its great claws just like a cat, then came slowly up tlie slope, evidently heading in our direction. It had not yet seen me, and dodging be hind bowlacrs and stumps 1 hastened to join Bltz. He was on his hands and knees peering into a dark, low cavern when- 1 reached him and his eyes sparkled at the news I brought. “ Let’s go into tlie cave and surprise- tho old fellow if he tries to get in,” lie cried. I “ Supposing his mate is in there?\ I , ventured to remonstrate, but he de clared that all signs showed tliut the occupants were not nt home, nftd be fore I could find another objection he had seized my arm and drugged me in I with him. The entrance was too low to stand upright, so we crawled for- ¡ward on our hands aiul knees, EUz , leading tho way, Wc had hardly gone seven yards when Bltz drew back. He hnd nearly gone headforemost into iv hole. The rock dropped abruptly here, and I passed him my rifle. Lowering it by the shoulder straps lie could just touch bottom. There was no time t > stop, so wc lo\vere«l onrselves eurcfnl- ly and then passed around to sue liow , much of a footing wc had down there, •lust then we heard the bear cuter the cave. It came with a rush, and as we flattened ourselves agnlnst the steep , wall it dropped at our feet with a hoarse grunt an«l went sliuflUng off , into the dark. It came so much sooner i than we had expected that we had no I time to explore the cave un«l determine on onr plan of attack. Wc could hear it thrashing about and grunting soiuc- I where in the depths of the cavern, but of course wc could sec nothing. “ Let’s get out o f here,” I whispered. “ All right,” raid Bit/., and be gave me a hoist up: As I struggled upward 1 saw tho great bear I bud seen coming up the mountain not two yards from the mouth of the cave, and I dropped down again, stammering out: “ Here's the other one! Lie close to the rock for yonr life!” •The great brute came, slmllling in ' slowly and stopped when it reached the ! edge ol tlie rock. Peering upwards 1 ' eonhl see its huge head swinging slowly ! from side to side. It was snntling loudly and suspiciously. Would It de tect ns? A deep bnss snort came ns if in an swer to my thought, and I saw its fierce red eyes glow as it glared upon ns. The long-stretched neck tempted Bltz and he sprang up, knife in hand, liut before lie eonhl strike I hnd pushed m.v rifle ngikinst liis shaggy nock and fired three shots that tore its throat out. A deluge of warm’ bloo-.l streamed down upon us, the walls of the cavern rung again and ngnin with the evacUlng re ports and the horrible roars of l lie mor tally wounded brute. In the dim light, and through the smoke I saw it half full, half spring over the ledge. We jumped out o l the way, but the cave was ro narrow that one great paw struck iny foot before I could get away and throw me headlong The long claws tore throngh ray boot and lac erated me badly. The oilier bear was uttering frightful roars, .and as 1 lay -half stunned and helpless on the ground I never expected to get out ol the place alive, for I believe Bltz would want to knife the other bear and in the dark he would have little chance of success. It was with a sigh of re lief that I heard him mutter a-, he picked np ray rifle, “ I suppo-..- I must shoot, bnt 1 líate to do it.\ Then lie sent shot after s'’;t in the direction of the growls. We could not have re treated from her attack, but she died tamely without showing fight Bltz helped me up, and wc got out of ns tight a place ns I.ever care to get into. Tlie smoke o f the rifle and the musty smell o f the cavern had half suffocuted ns, and tlie din o f the reports and the roars o f the licars rang in our heads for days afterward. lly the aid o f a s tout stick and Bltz’ arm 1 got back to Erliardt’s cabin to be laid up for the rest o f the week w ith a pretty sore foot Bltz and tlie for ester set off the next morning, and lighting np tlie cave with torches they skinned the hears and brought back the furs and a line.ham before night. The great bca’r was as large a male brown bear ns either had ever seen and his fur was exceptionally fine and glossy, but the female was a small 1 specimen, and her hide’ but of ordinary I quality. Erliardt declared the big fel- ! low-was a stranger to those parts, and had cither killed or driven off the former mate o f tlie small female. Most fif the members of the bear family mate-for life, but in bis long acquaint ance with .their .- ways tho forester could tell of several^ such occurrences, and no doubt he whs right-, .Bltz'in sisted that the bigskin belonged to me, when I returned I broiight it with me, nml it \how hangs in our mess room, nml it is o n e 'of the’ finest trophies of- the chase that adorn the walls.—Sidney Hanslcr, in Detroit Free 1’rcss.
