Cornea Jim LanBdon. mlzhty hunter ana writer, Into the mountain fastness, accompa nied by hla friend and comrade, who had accompanied him live tlmea Into tho moun tain country, with their, pack train. They have coma twenty days' Journey from civili sation, and havo cronsed the Oroat Divide but that afternoon Their search Is for big (fame, and as they look around they declda thla ( tho place to nnd It. Through their glasses, as they halt be fore, maklne camp, they espy Thor. across a great ravine, grubbing, for a BoPher, and Im mediately begin to stalk him. Uut Thor gets away, although not unwoundod. and hies himself otr to hla own private secret Place, where he settles down to recover from tils first encounter with man, and to ponder over what manner of being ha U. . Meanwhile, tho two men make camp ana s-flo down, determined to "bag" tho Grizzly King before returning home. CHAPTER IV. Continued imllERE will that," agreed Bruce, " 'spe- JL dally if you meet 'em again during the next week or so, while he's still sore from the bullets. Better not have the gun under you then, Jimmy!" 'What do you say to making this a per manent camp?" "Couldn't be better. Plenty of fresh meat, good grazing and line water." After a mo ment he added: "He was hit pretty hard. He was bleodln' bad at the summit." In the firelight I,angdon began cleaning his rifle. "You think he may clear out leave the country?" Bruce emitted a grunt of disgust. "Clear out? Run away? Mebbe he would If ho was a black. But he's a grizzly and the boss of this country. He may fight shy of this valley for a while, but you can bet he nln't goln' to emigrate. Th. harder you hit a grizzly the madder he gets, an' If you keep on hltttn' 'lm he keeps on gettln' mad der, until he drops dead. If you want that bear bad enough we can surely get him." "I do," Langdon reiterated with empha bIs. "He'll smash record measurements or I miss my guess. I want him, and I want him bad, Bruce. Do you think we'll be able to trail him In the morning?" Bruce shook his head. "It won't be a matter of trailing," he said. "It's Just simply hunt After a grizzly has been hit ho keeps movln'. He won't go out of his range, an' neither Is he going to show himself on the open slopes like that up there. Metoosln ought to be along with the dogs Inside of three or four days, an" when we get that bunch of Aire dales In action there'll be some fun." Langdon sighted at the fire through the polished barrel of his rifle and said doubt fully: "I've been having my doubts about Me toosln for a week back. We've come through some mighty rough country." That old Indian could follow our trail If wo traveled on rock," declared Bruce confi dently. "He'll be here Inside o" three days, barring the dogs don't run their fool heads Into too many porcupines. An' when they come" he rose and stretched his gaunt frame "we'll have the biggest time we ever had In our lives. I'm Just guessln' these roount'lns are so full o" bear that them ten dogs will all be massacreed within a week. Want to bet?" Langdon closed his rifle with a snap. "I only wj,nt ofle bear," he said, Ignoring the challenge, "and I have an Idea we'll get htm tomorrow. You're the bear special 1st of the outfit, Bruce, but I think he was too hard hit to travel far." They had made two beds of soft balsam bough near the fire, and Langdon now fol lowed his companion's example and began spreading hla blankets. It had been a hard day, and within five minutes after stretch ing himself out he was asleep. He was still asleep -when Bruce rolled out from under his blanket at dawn. With out rousing Langdon the young packer lipped on hla boots and waded back' a quar ter of . mtI.tltrosi U heavy tlw to, rawiel , Iteus'-iWueH h rWrn4 aaftan gstsasgaVBLlsaBBisMiH Jrtfai biamm ", ' WHAT MAY vwmv&awm- , . aiKtJSKff j- mrzaezrrjZr &&- rc& i with him. By that time Langdon was up and starting a tire. Langdon frequently reminded himself that such mornings as this had made him disappoint tho doctors and rob the grave. Just eight years ago this Juno ho had como Into tho North for tho first time, thin chested and with a bad lung. "You can go If you Insist, young man," ono of tho doctors had told him, "but you're going to your own funeral." And now ho had n five-Inch expansion and was as tough as a knot. Tho first rose tints of tho sun were creeping over tho mountain tops ; tho air was fll'.ed with tho sweetness of flowers and dow and growing things, nnd his lungs drew In deep breaths of oxygen laden with the tonJo ard perfumo of balsam. Ho was moro demonstrative than his companion In the Joyousness of this wild life. It made him want to Bhout and sing nnd whistle. Ho restrained himself this morning. The thrill of the hunt was In his blood While Otto saddled tho horses Langdon mado the bannock. Ho had become an ex pert at what he called "wild-bread" baking, and his method possessed the double cfTl clency of saving both waste and time. Ho opened ono of tho heavy canvas flour sacks, mado a hollow In tho flour with his two doubled fists, partly filled this hollow with a pint of water and half a cupful of caribou grease, added a tablespoonful nt baking powder nnd n threc-flnger pinch of salt and began to mix. Insldo of five minutes ho had tho bannock loaves In tho big tin reflector and half an hour later the sheep steaks were fried, the potatoes done and tho bannock baked to a golden brown. Tho sun was Just showing Its faco In the eaBt when they trailed out of camp. They rode across tho valley, but walked up the slope, tho horses following obediently In their footsteps. It was not difficult to pick up Thor's trail. Whero he had paused to snnrl back defiance at hts enemies there was a big red spatter on tha ground; from this point to the sum mit they followed a crimson thread of blood Three times In descending Into the other valley they found whero Thor had stopped, and each time they saw where n pool of blood had soaked Into the earth or run over the rock. They passed through tho timber and came to tho creek, and here, In a strip of firm black sand, Thor's footprints brought them to a pause. Bruce stared. An exclamation of amazement camo from Langdon, and without a word having passed between them he drew out his pocket taps and knelt beside one of tho tracks, "Fifteen and a quarter Inches!" he gasped. "Measure another," ald liruce. "Fifteen and a half I" Bruce looked up the gorge. "The biggest I ever see was fourteen an' a half," he said, and thero was a touch ot awe In his volco. "Ho was shot up the Athabasca an' he's stood as the biggest grizzly ever killed In British Columbia. Jimmy, this one beats 'lm !" . They went on, and measured the tracks again at the edge ot tho first pool where Thor had bathed his wounds. There was almost no variation In tho measurements. Only occasionally after this did they find spots of blood. It was 10 o'clock when they .came to the clay wallow and taw where Thor had made his bed In It. "He was pretty sick," said Bruce' In a low voice. "He was here most all night." Moved by the same Impulse and the same thought, they looked uhead of them" Half a mile farther on the mountains closed In until the gorgo between them was dark and sunless. "He was pretty sick." repeated Bruce, still looking ahead. "Mebbe we'd better tie the horses an' go on alone. It's possible- he's In there." They tied the horses to scrub cedars and relieved Dlsphan ot her pack. Then, with their rifles In readiness, and eyes and ears alert, they went on cautiously Into the silence and gloom of the gorge., CIIAriKU V THOR had gone up the gorgo at daybreak.

His discomfort was not all in his shoulder, and It was not In any ono place In particular. Ho was sick, and had ho been human ho would havo been In bed with a thermometer under his tongue nnd a doctor holding his pulse. Ho walked up the gorgo Blawly und lagglngly. An Indefatigable seeker of food, ho no longer thought of food. Ho was not hungry and he did not want to cat. With his hot tongue ho lapped frequently at tho cool water of tho creek, and oven moro frequently ho turned half about nnd sniffed tho wind. Ho know that tho man Bmell and tho strango thunder and the still mere Inexplicable lightning lay behind him. All night he had been on guard, and he was cautious now. For a particular hurt Thor knew of no particular remedy. Ho was not a botanist in tho finest sense of tho word, but In creat ing him tho Spirit of the Wild bad ordained that ho should bo his own physician. As a cat sreka catnip, ho Thor sought certain things when ho was not feeling well. All bitterness Is not quinine but certainly bit ter things wero Thor's remedies, and as ho mado his way up tho gorgo his nose hung close to tho ground, and ho sniffed In tho low copses and thick bush-tangles he passed Ho camo to a small green spot covered with kliuilklnlc, a ground plant two Inches high, which boro red berries ns big as a small pea. They wero not red now, but green: bitter as gall, and contained an astringent tonlo called uvatirsl. Thor ato them After that he found soap berries grow ing on bushes that looked very much like currant bushes. Tho fruit was already larger than currants, nnd turning pink Indians ato these berries when they had fever, and Thor gathered half a pint be fore he went on. They, too. wero bitter. Ho nosed tho trees, nnd found nt last What ho wanted. It was a Jacltpltie. and nt several places within his reach tho fresh pitch was oozing. A bear seldom passes a bleeding Jackplno. It Is his chief tonic, nnd Thor licked tho fresh pitch with his tonguo In this way ho absorbed not only turpcntlno but also. In a roundabout sort of way. n whole pharmacopeia of medicines made from this particular element. By tho time he arrived nt the end of the gorge Thor's stomach was a fairly well stocked drug emporium. Among other things ho had eaten perhaps half a quart of spruce and balsam needles. When a dog Is sick he eats grass; when a bear Is sick he eats plno or balsam needles If ho can get them. Also he pads his stomach and Intes tines with them In tho last hour before den ning himself away for tho winter. The sun was not yet up when Thor camo to the end of tho gorge, and stood for a few momentn nt tho mouth of a low cavo that leached back Into the wall of the mountain How far his memory went hack It would be Impossible to say; but In the wholo world, as he knew It. this cave was homo. It was not moro than four feet high, and twice as wide, but It was many times ns deep and was carpeted with a soft white floor of sand. In some past age a little stream had trickled out of this cavern, nnd the far end of It made a comfortable bedroom for u sleeping bear when the tem perature was fifty degrees below zero. Ten years before Thor's mother had gone In there to bleep through tho winter, and when she . waddled out to get her first gllmpso of spring three little cubs waddled with her. Thor was one of them. He was still half blind, for It Is Ave weeks after a grizzly cub Is born before he can see and thero was not much hair on his body, for a grizzly cub Is born as naked as a human baby. His eyes open and his hair begins to grow at Just about the same time. Since then Thor had denned eight times in that cavern home Ho wanted to go In now. He wanted to lie down In tho far end of it and wait until he felt better. For perhaps two or three minutes ho hesitated, sniffing yearningly at tho door to his cave, and then feeling the wind from down the gorge, bomcthlng told him that he should go on. To tho westward there was a sloping ascent up out of the gorge to the summit, and Thor climbed this, The sun was well up when he reached the top, and for a little while he rested again and looked down on the other half of his domain. Even more wonderful was this valley than the one Into which Bruce and Lang, .don had ridden a few hours before. Frbjn range to range It was a good two mles In wld(h', and tn the opppslte dlrtctloaa tt Btrch4 away la, a Bf eat. rMMt ,- rama of go)d nnd green and black. From whero Thor ntood It was llko an Immense park. Green slopes reached almost to tho summits of tho mountains, nnd to a point halfway up theso slopes tho last timber lino clumps of spruco and balsam trees wero scattered over tho green as If set there by the hands of men. Somo of theso timber patches were no larger than the decorative clumps In a city park and others covered acres and tens of acres ; and nt the foot of tho slopes on cither side, llko decorative fringes, wero thin and unbroken lines of forest Between thoso two lines of forest lay tho open valley of soft and undulating meadow, dotted with tho pur plish bosks of buffalo willow nnd moun tain sage, Its green coppices of wild roso and thorn, nnd Its clumps of trees. In tho hollow of the valley ran a stream. Thor descended about 400 yards from whero ho stood, and then turned northward along tho green slope, bo that he was travel ing from patch to pnti'h of tho park-ltko timber, a lf0 or 200 yards above the fringe nf forest To this height, midway between tho meadows in tho valley and the first shalo and bare rock of tho peaks, he came most frequently on his small game hunts. Llko fat woodehucks tho whistlers were already beginning to sun themselves on their rocks. Their long, soft elusive whistlings, pleasant to hear nbovo the drono of mouirtnln waters, tilled the air with a musical cadence. Now nnd then ono would whlstlo shrilly and wnrnlngly close at hand, nnd then flatten hlmsolf out on his rock ns tho big bear passed, and for a few moments no whistling would break upon the gentle purring of tho valley. But Thor was giving no thought to the hunt this morning. Twlco ho encountered porcupines,, tho sweetest of all morsels to iilni. and passed them unnoticed ; the warm, Bloepjng smell of a caribou came hot and fresh from n thicket, but ho did not ap proach the thicket to Investigate; out of a coulee, narrow and dark, llko a bluck ditch, ho caught the scent of a badger For two hours ho traveled steadily northward along tho half-crest of tho slopes bifore ho struck down through the timber to tho stream. The clay ndherlng to his wound was be ginning to harden and again ho waded shoulder-deep Into a pool und Mood there for several minutes. The water washed most of tho clay away. For another two hours ho followed the creek, drinking fre quently. Then camo tho sapoos oowln six hours after he had left tho clay wallow. The klmilkliiic berries, tho soap berries, tho Jackplno pitch, tho spruce nnd balsam needles, and tho wnter ho had drunk, all mixed In his stomach In ono big compelling dose, brought it about and Thor felt tre mendously better, so much better that for the first time he turned nnd growled back In the direction of his enemies. Ills shoulder still hurt him, but his sickness was gone For many minutes after the sapoon oowln he stood without moving, nnd many times he growled. The snarling rumble deep In Ids' chest had a new meaning now. Fntll last night and today he had not known a real hatred. Lhad fought other bearB, but tho fighting rage was not hato. It camo quickly and passed away quickly; It left no growing ugliness; he licked the wounds of a clawed enemy, and was quite fgXaently happy while he nursed them. Uut this new thing that was born in him was different (CONTINUED TOMORROW) Today's Inntalmvnt of "Contraband" will b found on Page D of tuls Uiue. The atory will cunclude tomorrow.
