THE GRIZZLY KING
By .TAMES OLIVER CURWOOD
The Author of "Kazan"
CIIAPTEn XVIII (Continued)
THE reports of the shots aloni- had not
stirred Thor, but now when he saw one
of his enemies crumple up and go rolling
tlown the mountain he turned slowly to
ward the safety of tho rocks A fourth
and then a fifth shot followed, and at tho
fifth the yelping dogs dropped back toward
tho coulee, ono of them limping with a
shattered forefoot.
Langdon sprang upon the, boulder over
which ho had rested his gun, and his eyes
caught tho sky-line. Iskwao had Just
reached the top Sho paused for a moment
and looked down Then shs disappeared.
Thor was now hidden among the boulders
and broken masses of Eandstone, following
her trail. Within two minutes after tho
grizzly disappeared Bruce and Metoosln
scrambled up over tho edge of tho coulee.
From where they stood even the sky-lino
was within fairly good Ehootlng distance,
and Langdon suddenly began shouting ex
citedly, waving his Jrms, and pointing
downward, i'
Bruce and Metoosln were caught by his
ruse, in spite of tho fact that the dogs
were again giving fierce tongue close to
the rocks among which Thor had gone
They belieed that from where he stood
Langdon could see tho progress of the
bear, and that it was running toward tho
valley. Not until they were another hun
dred yards down tho slope did they stop
and look back at Langdon to get further
directions. From his rock Langdon was
pointing to the sky-line.
Thor was Just going over. He paused for
a moment, as Iskwao had stopped, and took
one last look at man.
And Langdon, as ho saw the last of him.
waved his hat and shouted, "Good luck to
you, old man good luck"
CnAPTCR XIX
THAT night Langdon and Bruce made
their new plans, while Metoosln sat
aloof, smoking In stolid silence and gazing
now and then at Langdon. as If he could
not yet bring himself to the point of bellev.
lng what had happened that afternoon
Thereafter through many moons Metoosln
would never forget to rclato to hl3 children
and his grandchildren and his friends of tho
tepee tribes how he had once hunted with
a white man who had shot his own dogs
to fcae the life of a grizzly bear. Langdon
was no longer the same old Langdon to
him,' and after this hunt Metoosln knew
that he would neer hunt with him again.
For Langdon was keskwao now Something
had gono wrong In his head The Great
Spirit had taVen away his heart and had
given It to a grizzly bear, and over his
pipe Metoosln watched him cautiously. This
suspicion was confirmed when he saw Bruce
and Langdon making a cage out of a cow
hide pannier and realized that the cub was
to accompany them on their long Journey.
There was no doubt in his mind now. Lang
don was "queer," and to an Indian that
sort of queerness boded no good to man.
The next morning at sunrise the outfit
was ready for its long trail Into the north
land Bruce and Langdon led tho way up
the slope and 'over tho dlide Into the val
ley where they had first encountered Thor,
the train filing picturesquely behind them,
with Metoosln bringing up the rear. In his
cowhide pannier rode Muskwa.
Langdon was satisfied and happy.
"It was the best hunt of my life." he said
to Bruce. "I'll never be sorry we let him
live "
"You're the doctor." said Bruce rather
Irreverently. "If I had my way about it his
hide would be back there on Dlshpan. Al
most any tourist down on the line of rail
would Jump for it at $100"
"He's worth several thousand to me
alive" replied Langdon. with which enig
matic retort he dropped behind to see how
Muskwa was riding
The cub was rolling and pitching about
In his pannier like a raw amateur In a
hookah on an elephant's back, and after
contemplating him for a few moments
Langdon caught up with Bruce again.
Half a dozen times during the next two
or three hours he visited Muskwa. and each
time that he returned to Bruce he was
quieter, as if debating something w(th him-
It was 9 o'clock when they came to what
was undoubtedly the end of Thor's valley.
A mountain rose up squarely In the face of
It and the stream they were following
swung sharply to the westward Into a
narrow canyon. On the east rose a green
and undulating slope up which the horses
could easily travel, and which would take
the outfit Into a new valley In the direction
of the Driftwood. This course Bruce de
elded to pursue.
Half way up the slope .they stopped to
gte the horses a breathing spell. In his
cowhide prison Muskwa whimpered plead
Ingly Langdon heard, but he seemed to
pay no attention. He was looking steadily
back Into the valley. It was glorious In the
morning sun. He could see the peaks under
which lay the cool, dark lake In which Thor
had fished; for miles the slopes were like
green velvet, and there came to him as he
lookpd the last droning music of Thor's
world. It struck him In a curious way as a
sort of anthem, a hymnal rejoicing that
he was going, and that he was leaving
things as they were before he came. And
yet, was he leaving things as they had
beenT Did his ears not catch in that muelo
of the mountains something of sadness of
grief, of plaintive prayer?
Am fl. close to him. Muskwa
jrkittr Mftln
CHARITY
Then Langdon turned to Bruce.
"Its settled," he said, and his words had
a decisive ring In them ' I've been trying to
make up my mind all tho morning, and It's
made up now. You and Metoosln go on
when the horses get their wind. I'm going
to rldo down there a milo or so and free
the cub where he'll find his way back
home !"
He did not wait for arguments or re
marks, and Bruce made none. He took
Muskwa In his arms and rode back Into tho
south.
A mile up tho valley Langdon came to
a wide open meadow dotted with clumps
of spruce and willows and sweet with tho
perfume of flowers. Here he dismounted,
and for ten minutes sat on the ground
with Muskwa. From his pocket he drew
forth a small paper bag and fed the cub
its last sugar. A thick lump grew In his
throat as Muskwa's soft little nose muzzled
tho palm of his hand, and when at last
he Jumped up and sprang Into his saddle
there was a mist In his eyes. He tried to
laugh. Perhaps he was weak. But he
loved Muskwa. and he knew that he was
leaving more than a human friend in this
mountain valley.

books, and to the President, he said that
the intervention of the United Stales In
the Europo.ui war created an enormously
favorable impression In Italy, moro par
ticularly In southern Italy
INSPIRED BY AMERICA'S ACT
"You know well," he said, "that the great
majority of tho 3,000.000 Italians living In
the United States comes from southern
Italy. Each one of these Italians has rela
tives abroad, and therefore small villages
which probably had not been aroused by
the war In Italy were taken in the whirl
wind of enthusiasm when it was lorned
that America had also entered the war on
the side of Italy and that she would send
an army to Europe to fight against tho
vime enemies to defeat which Italy was
shedding the blood of her youths The en
thusiasm was great all over Italy, to be
sure but the United States' Intervention
was more keenly greeted in southern Italy,
where America Is known and loved as per
haps nowhere else. These regions were
quick In grasping the Immense moral and
material valuo of the new ally
"The war has alreadv entered a new
phase with the American intervention In
the first phase, the Entente struggled to re
sist the sinister aggression by German-,
which was trying slowly to annihilate the
military power o the Allies by tiring and
starving them But now well, we can attach
"The submarine -problem Is of the ut
most Importance now. because It Is through
the U-boats that Germany makes a supreme
effort to starve England, to wear out France,
to conquer Italy with a food and cqal fam
ine, after she herself succeeded in acquir
ing tho possibility ot resistance through
privations and sacrifices.
"To take tho .case of Italy alone, we
Import In normal times 11.000,000 tons of
coal and moro than 2.000,000 tons of Iron
ore In time of war we should have more
than that in order to feed our war Indus
tries besides other Industrial activities, the
railroads and the navy. We have, it Is
true.- a tremendous wealth of water power,
something which In tne future will free us
completely from buying coal. But wo
won't be able to uso this power for sev
eral 'years to come. In the last few
months wo could no: import more than
700,000 tons of coal monthly, owing to the
scarcity of shipping ftcllltles, and we had
to reduco our railroad traffic to the mini
mum possible. In somo regions barely to the
number of trains ne'ded for military pur
poses. We had to close many factories,
leaving only those necessary to the war.
But even In theso conditions It will not
be possible to go ahead for a long time
"It is necessary, therefore, that the first
aid tho United States should give to the
Allies because all of the Allied nations
suffer from the same shortage of shipping
should be In supplying new ships England
ran do something In this line, but only
tho United States can do much, can solve
the problem and supply ships, coal and Iron
ore.
ITALY'S IMMENSE TASK
"As far as military operations are con
cerned. Italy can look after herself and she
does not ask soldiers She has 4,000,000
men at the front and she Is fighting almost
the whole Austrian army since tho Russslan
revolution brought military operations on
the Gallclan front to a standstill In order
to have an exact Idea of what Italy has
done, one should flpure the United States
In war for two years with a fighting force
of 13,000,000 to 15,000.000. and with an
expenditure of from $30,000,000,000 to $40.
000,000.000 If the proportion of relatlve
ness between the population and the
wealth of America and Italy are taken into
consideration, these figures will tell the tale
of Italy's effort In this war.
"Italy has resisted, Is resisting and w-Ill
resist to the end, but the Allies must supply
her coal and Iron and provide means of
transporting it to the Italian shores.
"The whole problem of the war as It Is
today can be squeezed Into a few words'
It Is necessary to repair the losses brought
about by the U-boats
"We expect from the United States the
great effort of which she Is capable, and
we know that she will do It. Her popula
tion Is the result of the amalgamation of
the strongest and most warlike races of
Europe, and this will give her a formidable
army with which the German hosts must
reckon. But above all, wo expect from the
United States coal and Iron, I will repeat,
and an intensification of her agricultural
production that would save the Allies from
starving. And we expect to see her give
out at least 300,000 tons of cargo boats to
repair in some way the loss 'of shipping
through submarine activities, a loss which
has reached 800,000 tons a month."
Signor NlttJ talked ot his son. VIncenzo,
who was wounded In one of the Carso bat
tles during the recent offensive by General
Cadorna. He is only seventeen years old,
the youngest ofncH Italian army, he
said with pride. -3Qai9H
"I have had no news recently I do not
think he Is wounded very seriously, because
he could be carried to the military hospital
at Udlne. But I do not think he is wounded
only slightly, because he could not Xt sent
to Naples, where his mother awaits him."
GREAT MARKET FOR UNITED STATES
Asked to state whether the Italian mar
ket would, after the war, be throwt,open
to American products, Signor NlttlffiS-ldr
"I don't have the slightest dsfijt The
United States will easily conqu'iStiur mar
ket, together with thq marketafcBKhe Allied,
nations. "Before the war fWUhany tx

onles Theso markets, like the Italian, wilt
be lost to German Industry and the field
will be open t- American exporters.
' The United States has special interest
in takng. commercially, Germany's place In
Italy, whose geographical position affords
America a point from which she can spread
her traffic In the whole Mediterranean basin
not only, but even, through the Suez Canal,
toward the Indies
"The advent of America In the commer
cial market of Italy will be greeted with
enthustarm. for two reasons First, America
has no political alms to pursue In the Med
iterranean, and therefore she cannot arouse
the suspicion that by an Invasion of Ameri
can capital to take the place of German
gold she intends to follow a policy of con
quest Second, America, as I said before. Is
known In Italy, and In southern Italy espe
cially, as no other foreign nation Is known.
Who could say how many million Italians
have been In America and have returned to
Italy it inglng with them the undying re
membrance of this country where they lived
and worked for a few years? And don't
you think that these returned emigrants
would be so many commercial agents which
America would never gain in any other
way?"
N. Y. TRIBUNE DENOUNCED
Secretary McAdoo Issues Statement Re
garding Newspaper's Attitude on Loan
WASHINGTON. June 22 Secretary Mc
Adoo has Issued a statement denounc
ing the attitude of the New York Tribune
and Its business manager, Richard H.
Waldo, toward the Liberty Loan campaign.
He declared that. In view of statements
appearing in the Tribune, the German, press
hardly could be blamed for asserting the
loan was a failure, in spite of its over
subscription. He cited a statement, pub
lished by the Tribune shortly before the
subscriptions closed, that the loan was a
failure in that too much ot its burden fell
on the banks He said that In a public
speech Waldo had charged that the dis
tribution policy was a failure and the coun
try was not supporting the Administration.
