as lightly burdened AS Possible, and' had
walkedabout-for miles in rather an aim-

and. was. climbing up the steep 'mountain-
sidehwhen I was startled by'a rock which
• came bounding down fearfuHy near me.
I halted iiavoluntarily, and, looking up. hi

of 'teeth -whose like for viciOushefit I .had

. as the natureof the grizzly is at all times
belligerent, I did not long hesitate ;a� to
'what to do.

tain side at a speed that threatened to
break my neck at every bound, the
• ground • was so rough and dangerous.

fall was slightly checked by a mass of

much shaken up, but not seriously hurt.
I picked myself up and then glanced up-
ward to see if_ the bear was coming on
after me, but he had evidently learned
rannething teem my drop and only came
near enough to otick his ugly 'noire over
the edge and measure the. distance. He
drew back, and for some time 1 could
