It looks that way to m "You've hit the nail on- the head as suro as you're a year old!" cried Langdon en thusiastically. "Bruce, I never thought of "There's a good many things you don't li.i. .k,, ntn vou run ncross 'em.' said the mountaineer. "It's what you said a while ago such thlngi aro what makes huntln' a fine sport when you yo learned huntln' ain't assays klllln'-but lettln' live. One day I lay seven hours on a mountain top watchin' a band o' ifwal play, nn I had moro fun than if I'd killed the whole bunch." ..,.. Bruce rose to his feot and stretched himself, an after-supper operation that al ways preceded his announcement that he was going to turn In. "FJne day tomorrow." he said, yawning. "Look how white the snow Is on the peaks." "Bruce" "What 7" , m . "How heavy Is this bear we're af terT "Twelve hundred pounds mebby a little more.

"Between eight and twelve years old, I'd say. by the way he went up the slope. An old bear don't roll so easy." "You've run across some pretty old bears, Bruce?" "So old some of 'em needed crutches," said Bruce, unlacing his boots. ;Tve shot bears so old they'd lost their teeth." "How old?" M "Thirty thirty-five mebby forty yean Good-night, Jimmy 1" Good-night, Bruce 1" Langdon was awakened some time hours inter bv a. deluge or ram mat brought him out of his blankets with a yell to Bruce. They had not put up their tepee, and a moment later he heard Bruce anathematiz ing their idiocy. The night was as black as a cavern, ex cept when it was broken by lurid flashes of lightning, nid the mountains rolled and rumbled with deep thunder. Disentangling himsflf from his drenched blanket, Lang don stood up. A glare of lightning re vealcd Bruce sitting In hie blankets, his hair dripping down over his long, lean (ace. and at sight of htm Langdon laughed outright "Fine day tomorrow," he taunted, re peating Brace's words of a few hours be fore. "Look how white the snow is on the Pksl" Whatever Bruce said was drowned Jn a crash of thunder. Langdon waited for another lightning flash and then dove for the shelter of a thick batsam. Under this he crouched for Ave or ten minutes, when the rain stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The thunder rolled southward, and the lightning went with it. In the darkness he heard Bruce fumbling somewhere near. Then a match was lighted, nnd he saw his comrade look ing at his watch. 'Pretty near I o'clock," he said. "Klco shower, wasn't It?" 1 rather expected it," replied Langdon carelessly. "You know, Bruce, whenever the snow on the peaks is so white " Shut up an let's get a fire! Good thing we bad sense enough to cover our grub with tbe blankets. Are yo' wet?" Langdon was wringing the water from his hair. He flt like a drown, rat 'jo. i was unaer a mien DHJiam, and , ?r H. .When revelM.ipr aUTl 7, 1917 NO CHANCES Forget the snow," growled Bruce, and Langdon could hear him breaking off dry pltch-fllled twig- under a. spruce. Ho went to help him, and flvo minutes ater they had n lire going The light il lumined their faces, and each saw that tho ntner was not unhappy. Bruco was grin ning under his sodden hnlr 'I was dead asleep when it came," he oxplalnod. -An' I thought I'd fallen in a Inkc I Wol;o up tryln' to swim " An early July rain at 3 o'clock in the morning in tho northern British Columbia mountains Is not ns warm as It might be, and tor the greater part of an hour Lang aon and Bruco continued to gather fuel and dry their blankets and clothing. It was S o'clock before they had break fast, nnd n llttlo after 6 when they started with their two paddles and elnglo pick up the valley Bruce had tho satisfaction of reminding Langdon that his prediction had come true, for a glorious day followed the thunder shower. Under them the meadows were dripping. The valley purred louder with the muslo of the swollen streamlets. From the moun tain tops a half of last night's snow was gone, and to Langdon the flowers seemed taller and moro beautiful. The air that drifted through the valley was laden with the sweetness nnd freshness of the morning, and over and through it all the sun shone In a warm and golden sea. They headed up the creek bottom, bend ing over from their saddles to look at every strip of sand they passed for tracks. They had not gone a eiuarter of a mile when Bruce gave a sudden exclamation and stopped He polntod to a round patch of sand In which Thor had left one of his huge footprints. Langdon dismounted and measured It. "It's he!" he cried, and there was a thrill of excitement In his voice. "Hadn't we better go on without the horses, Bruce?" Tho mountaineer shook his head. But before ho voiced an opinion he got down from his horse and scanned the sides ot tho mountains ahead ot them through his long telescope. Langdon used his double barreled hunting class. They discovered nothing, "He's still in tho creek bottom, an" he's probably three or four miles ahead." eald Bnice "We'll ride on a couple o" miles an' find a place good for the horses. The grass an' bushes will be dry then." It was easy to follow Thor's course after this, for he had hung closo to the creek. Within threo or four hundred yards of the great mass of boulders where tho grizzly had come upon tho tan-faced cub was a small copse ot spruce In the heart of n grassy dip, nnd here the hunters stripped and hobbled their horses. Twenty minutes later they had come up cautiously to the soft carpet of sand where Thor and Muskwa had become acquainted. The heavy rain had obliterated the cub's tiny foot prints, but tho sand was cut up by the grizzly's tracks. The packer's teeth gleamed as he looked at Langdon. "Ho ain't very far," he whispered. "Shouldn't wonder if he spent the night pretty close an' he's mooshlng on Just ahead of us." He wet b finger and held it above his head to get tho wind Ho nooded signi ficantly. "We'd better get up on the slopes," he said. They made their way around tho end of the boulders, holding their guns in readl nss, and headed for n small coulee that promised an easy ascent of tho first slope. At the mouth of this both paused again. Its bottom was covered with sand, and In this sand were tho tracks of another bear. Bruce dropped on his knees. "It's another grizzly," said Langdon. "No, It ain't; It's a black," said Bruce "Jimmy, can't I ever knock Into yo'r head the difference between a black an" a grizzly track? This Is the hind foot, an' the heel Is round. If It was a grizzly it would be pointed. An' It's too broad an' clubby f'r a grizzly, an' the claws are too long fr the length of the foot. It's a black as plain as the nose on yo'r face'" "And going our way," raid Langdon. "Coma on I" Two hundred yards up the coulee the bear had climbed out on the slope. Lang don and Bruce followed. In the thick grass and hard shale of the first crest of the slope tho tracks were quickly lost, but the hunters were not much Interested In these tracks now. From the height at which they were traellng they had a splendid view below, them. Not once did Bruce take his eyes from the creek bottom. He knew that It was down there they would find the grizzly, and he was Interested In nothing elte Just at present. Langdon, on the other hand, was Interested In everything that might be living or moving about them; every mass of rock and thicket of thorn htld possibili ties for him, and his eyes were questing the higher ridges and the peaks as well as their Immediate trail. It was because of this that he saw something which made him suddenly grip his companion's arm and pull him down beside him on the ground. "Look I" he whispered, stretching out an arm. From his kneeling posture Bruce etared His eyes fairly popped In amazement Not more than thirty feet above them was a big rock shaped like a drygoods box, and protruding from behind the farther side of this rock was the rear half of a bear. It was a black bear. Its glossy coat shin ing In the sunlight. For a full half minute Bruce continued to stare. Then be grinned. "Asleep dead (Jlsep 1 Jimmy, you want to see some fun?" He put down his gun and drew out his long hunting knife. He chuckled softly as he felt of it keen point.

There was undoubtedly going to be a very much astonished bear racing for the tops of tho Rocky Mountains In another moment or two, and between this thought and the pic ture of Brace's long lank figure snaking Its way upward foot by foot the humor of the situation fell'Vipon Langdon. Finally Bruce reached the rock. The long knife-blade gleamed In the suni then It shot forward and a half Inch of steel burled Itself In the bear's rump. What followed In the next thirty seconds Lnngdon would never for get. The bear made no movement Brace Jabbed again. Still there wn no move ment, and at the second thrust Bruce re mained as motionless as the rock against which he was crouching and his mouth was wide open aa he stared down at Langdon. "Now, what the devil do you think of that'" he raid and rose slowly to his feet "He ain't asleep he's dead I" Langdon ran up to him. and they went around the end of the rock. Bruce still held the knife In his hand and there was an odd expression in his face a look that put troubled furrows between his eyes aa he stood for a moment without speaking. "I never see anything like that before," he said, slowly slipping his knife In Its sheath "It's a she bear, an' she had cubs pretty young cubs, too, from the looks o' her " "She was after a whistler and under mined the rock " added Langdon "Crushed to death, eh. Bracer' Bruce nodded. "I ncter see anything like It before," he repeated "I've wondered why they didn't get killed by dlggln' tinder the rocks but I never see It Wonder where the cubs are" Boor little devils'" He was on his knees examining the elead mother's teats "She didn't have more'n two mebby one." ho said, rising. "About three months old" "And they'll starve?" "If there was only one he probably will. The little cuss had so much milk he didn't have to forage for himself Cubs is a good deal like babies you can wean 'em early or nu i-nn ha'f grow 'em on pap An' this Is what comes of runnln' off an' leaxln' your babies nlotip." moralized Bruce "If you ever git married, Jimmy, don't you let yo'r wife do It Sometlmos th' babies burn up or break their necks'." Again ho turned along the creat ot the slope, his eyes once more searching the valley, nnd Lnngdon followed a stop behind him, wondering what had becomo of the cub And Muskwa, still slumbering on the rock ledge with Thor, was dreaming of tho mother who lay crushed tinder the rock on the slope, and as he dreamed he whim pered softly. CHAPTER T1TI Tlin ledge where Thor and Muskwa lay caught the first gleams of the morning sun, and as the sun rose higher the ledge grew warmer and warmer, and Thor. when ho nwoke. merely stretched himself nnd made no effort to rise. After his wounds and the sapoos oowir and the feast In the valley he was feeling tremendously fine nnd comfortable, ajid he was in no very great haste to leave this golden pool of sunlight For a long time he looked steadily and curiously at Muskawa, In the chill of the night the little cub had pnuggled up close between tho warmth of Thor's huge forearms, and still lay there, whimpering in his babyish way as he dreamed. After a time Thor did something that he had nover been guilty of before he sniffed gently at the soft little ball between his paws, and Just once h big flat red tongue touched the cub's face; and Muskwa, per haps still dreaming ot his mother, snuggled closer. As little white children have won the hearts of savages who wero about to slay them, so Muskwa had come strangely into the llfo of Thor. The big grizzly was still puzzled. Not only was he struggling against an unac countable dislike of all cubs in general, but also against tho flrmly established habits of ten years of nloneness. Yet he was be ginning to comprehend that there wa some thing very pleasant nnd compnnlonable In the nearneas of Muskwa. With the coming of man a new emotion had entered into his being perhaps only the spark of an emo tion. Until one has enemies and faces dangers one cannot fully appreciate friend ship and It may be that Thor, who now confronted real enemies and a real danger for the first time, was beginning to under stand what friendship meant. Also, it was drawing near to his mating season and about Muskwa was the scent of his mother And so as Muskwa continued to bask and dream in thn sunshlno there was a growing content In Thor. Ho looked down Into the valley, shimmer ing In the wet of the night's rain, and he saw nothing to rouse discontent ; he, sniffed the air and it was filled with the unpolluted swpetness of growing grass, of flowers and balsam and water fresh from the clouds. Thor began to lick his wound, nnd it was this movement that roused Muskwa. The cub lifted his head. Hn blinked at the sun for a moment, then rubbed his faco sleepily with his tiny paw and stood up. Like all youngsters, he was ready for another day, in spite of the hardships and toll of the preceding one. While Thor still lay restfully looking down Into the valley Muskwa began in vestigating the crevices In the rock wall and tumbled about among tbe boulders on the ledge. From the valley Thor turned his tytn to the cub. There was curiosity In his attitude as he watched Muskwa's antics and queer tumblings among the rocks. Then he rose cumbrously and shook himself. For at least Ave minutes he stood look ing down into the valley and sniffing the wind, as motionless as though carven out of rock. And Muskwa, perking up his little ears, camo and stood beside him, his sharp little eyes peering from Thor off Into sunlit space and then back to Thor again, as if wondering what was about to happen next The big grizzly answered the question. He turned along the rock shelf and began descending Into the valley Muskwa tagged behind. Just as he had followed the day before. The cub felt twice as big and fully twice as strong as yesterday, and he no longer was obsessed by that uncom fortable yearning for his mother's milk. Thor had graduated him quickly, and he was a meat-eater And he knew they were returning to where they had feasted last night They had descended half the distance of the slope when the wind brought some thing to Thor. A deep-chested growl rolled out of him as he stopped for a moment the thick ruff about bis neck bristling omi nously The scent he had caught came from the direction of his cache, and It was an odor which he was not In a humor to tolerate in this particular locality. Strongly he smelled the presence of another bear. This would not have excited fhlm under ordinary conditions, and It would not have excited him now had the presence been that of a female bear. But the scent was that of a he-bear, and it drifted strongly up a rock-cut ravine that ran straight down toward the balsam patch in which he had hidden tho caribou. Thor stopped to ask himself no questions. Growling under his breath, he began to de scend so swiftly that Muskwa had great difficulty In keeping up with him. Not until they came to the edge of the plain that overlooked the lake nnd the balsams did they stop. Muskwa's little Jaws hung open as he panted. Then his ears pricked forward, he stared, and suddenly every muscle In his small body became rigid. Seventy-five yards below them their cache was being outraged. The robber was a huge black bear. He was a splendid out law. He was, perhaps, three hundred pounds lighter than Thor, but he stood almost as high, and in the sunlight his coat shone with the velvety gloss of sable the biggest and boldest bear that had entered Thor's domain Jn many a day. He had pulled the caribou carcass from its hiding-place and wss eating as Thor and Muskwa looked down on him. After a moment Muskwa peered up ques tlonlngly at Thor. "What are we going ta do?" he seemed to ask. "He's got our dine tier 1" Slowly and very deliberately Thor began olcklne hla way down those last seventy- five ysrds.
