My first inspiration was to take a shot at them, which would have been one of the castest things, and reload be- fore they came up, but I thought there might be others close at hand, and, thinking thus, the wisest course for me to pursue was to beat a hasty retreat. This I did, and had hardly got half way down, when, to my horror, I saw a gigantic grierly bear coming toward me—coming up the ridge directly toward me! “Under the tnapiration of this new fear, | retreated until near the top of the ridge before I recollected the savages who were coming from the other side. And I may now be said to have been between two fires, and for a moment I was completely be- wildered by my fearful situation—a situation in which there was little chance between two impending perils; one seer as cortain of death as the other, but the bear be- ing the cloner, | was necessarily compelled to encounter him. It was plain that the brute had discovered me, and was after me alone. “My resolve was made in an fn- stant—I determined to shoot the bear in the head, not in the hope of killing him, for it generally takes more than one shot to do that, ex cept when hit in the most vulnerable part of the head, but I trusted that I might bewtider him for a mo- ment, during which I would make an attempt to escape both him and the Indiana, who, by this time, were close at hand. Quickly bringing my rifle to my shoulder, I sighted at the head of the big brate and fired. It struck him somewhere In the head and made a painful wound. “The instant the bear felt the twinge, he reared on hie hind legs, and putting his paws up to his head, tried to pick out the bullet. This, of course, be did, not with the slightest idea of the nature of the wound, bot under the delusion that a splinter or some sharp object bad penetrated his flesh, which he could easily push away with bis paw “Without waiting to see the ef- feet of my shot, I ran in a direction that would allow me to pass around my brute enemy, mado a tremendous leap down the ridge, alighting on my foot with such momentum as te lose my balance, I was precipita forward on my faco, a cadens and stunn rolled to the bottom far more expeditiously than my feet could possibly have carried 1 “It was at this moment that the bear, recovering from the momen tary bewilderment occasioned by Eastern Outfitting Co., Inc.
