thought with almost superhuman
keenness of perception, preparing to
leap into the pool and seize upon her.
The rush of the current as it swirled
about her caused her to sway gently.
otherwise she stood motionless and
apprehensive, awfully expectant. She
had made no sound, and save for that
low growl the great beast had been
equally silent. There was an awful
fixity in the gaze she turned upon him
and be wavered under it It annoyed
him. It bespoke a little of the dom
inance of the human. But she was
too surprised. too unnerved, too des
perately frightened to put forth the
full power of mind over matter. There
was piteous appeal to her gaze. The
bear realized this and mastered her
sufficiently.
She did not know whether she was

but two points upon which her con
sciouaness was focussed in the vast
llipse of her Imagination. Another

turned its great head sideways a lit
tie to escape the direct timmobile
stare brought his sharp clawed foot
down heavily and lurched forward.
Scarcely had a minute elapsed in
which all this happened. That huge
threatening heave of the great body
toward her relieved the tension. 8bhe
found voice at last. Although It wuas
absolutely futilel she realised as she
cried, her released lips framed the
loud appeal
"Help! for God's ake."
Although she knew she cried but
to the bleak walls of the canon. the
drooping pines, the rushing river, the
distant heaven, the appeal wen forth
aceompsale, by the mightiest con
juration known to man.
"Por God's sake, helpl"
How dare poor humanity so plead,
the doubter cries. What is it to God
if one suffers, another bleeds. another
dies? What dswer could come out of
that silent sky? Sometimes the Lord
speaks with the lod voice of men's
fashioning, instead of in that still
whisper which is his own, and the
sound of which we fail to catch be
cause o our own ignoble babble.
The answer to her prayer came
with a rear to her nervous fritstened
ear like a clap of thunder. lre the
first echo of it died away, It was so
ceeded by another and another and

an Imagiary enemy with his weighty
paws. A hoarse, frightful glttering
roar burst from his red slavering jaws.
thn he lurched side ways and fell
forward, Lh tlg the air madly for a
moment, and lay stil.
With staring eyes that missed no
detail, she saw that the brute had
been shot in the head and shoulder
three times and that be was appar
ently dead. The revulsion that came
over her ws bewilderlng; She swayed
again, this Ue not from the thrust
of the w ,t butt with sick faintness.
The tesies suddenly takea of, un
strung, the loose bow of her sptrit
,quivered hoelplssly; the arrow of her
life almost tfol on t stream.
And then a new mnd more appalling

she saw swiftly, since the huge mon- t
ster had fallen a dead heap on her
clothes.
Now all this, although it takes mil
utes to tell, had happened In but a
few seconds. Seconds sometimes in
clude hours, even a life-Utime, to their
brief composition. She thought it
would be just as well for her to inkt
down and die in the water, when a
sudden splashing below her caused
her to look down the stream.
She was so agitated that she could
make out little except that there was
a man crossing below her and making
directly toward the body of the bear.
He was a tall black bearded man. she
saw he carried a rtiS he looked neth

could have cried aloud in thanktgiving
for his apparent obllviousmees to her
as she crouched now neck deep in the
benumbing cold. The man stepped on
the bank, shook himself like a great
dog might have done and marched
over to the bear. He uprooted a small
nearby pine, with theeuee of a Her'
cules-and she had time, to mark and
marvel at It in spite of everything-
ana then with that as a lever he un
concernedly and easily heaved the
body of the monster from of her
clothing. She was to learn later what
a feat of strength it was to move that
inert carcass weighing much more
than half a ton.
Thereafter he dropped the plne tree
