He had gone only about siz hun dred yards when he was suddenly confronted by a monster surpassing any idea Mopple ever had as to the , | size or disposition of a Canadian +} brown bear.

It was two hours before deep slumber finally overtook | him, but every attempt by Mopple to come out of the inner cave seemed to arouse bruin afresh. It was four paw sufficiently to cause him to} forget Mopple’s presence and fall into a deep stupor. After bis five dayw fast Mopple found it easier to craw! out thru the passage than it was to enter In/ lover the sleeping monster, Mopp! now weak from fasting, made way painfully out of the cave a started to retrace his steps to the| railroad. Mopple had lost his bearings, As| there was now fully three feet of snow, he had no tracks to follow, and instead of going south toward the railroad he did the usual thing for “lost hunters,” and started | north. After wandering all day he was forced to come to a halt on the shore of @ small frozenover lake. There he made a fire and prepared a small hut of boughs in which to spend the night. Thru a small opening in the ice, and by the aid of a wooden spear and his flash- light, he succeeded in spearing two nice pike which he devoured in a halfcooked condition before “turn. ing in” for the night. AIMLESSLY WANDERS TWO WEEKS After two full weeks of atmicas wanderings Mopple came upon the trap-line of a hunter. Following this up he was soon rewarded by the sight of a emall shack in the |distance with smoke emerging from |the stovepipe chimney. Mopple was given quite a wel- come by the lone trapper, but noth. ing would persuade him to leave his trap line and accompany Mop. ple back to the railroad track. Thus Mopple was forced to remain in the forest, a companion of this lone trapper thruout the long winter. Emerging on May 7, he was accom panied by the trapper, who brought in his winter's catch of furs to the market.
