(Concluded from last week) No other animal on the continent cam do such a job of digging. We could understand now to wlhat use a grizzly's Lange, long claws are put. Id would seem that such a task must have occupied the bear for :many hours, but the snow in his tracks showed that ahe'had ibeen gone a long time. He 'probably got •thirty or forty pounds of marmot here. 'Evidently this grizzly suspected that he might be followed.

Spring brings the opening of fishing seasons throughout Canada, and indica- tions from inquiries from sports- men and information froTTm� guides pouring into the offices/of A. 0. Seymour, general tourist agent, Canadian Pacific Railway, 'Mont- real, are that game fish are going to have a hard time of it. More people are planning' early vacations to take advantage of the fishing while it is at its best. Reports from Canadian Pacific Railway hotels in the Maritimes and Quebec, the Devil's Gap and French River Bungalow Camps in Ontario, and bungalow camps and hotels in the Canadian Rock- ies, as well as favored fishing centres on Canadian Pacific lines indicate teat sportsmen are on the move again. Tee n;nu Jnr of Canadians travelling within Can- ada and of Americans visiting this country- especially for fishing will run into many thoinands, In a country the size of Canada, and with its variety of fish ani rendi- tions, opening seasons vary wee- , ly in the different provinces, a fact shown in fishing booklets ob- tainable front all Canadian Pa- cific Railway ageate. think that ell .grizn:lies of this genera- tion live in constant Meas of pursuit by man and his rifle. A ;little farther ort we found where this bear had made a detour to windward, doubting back .half a mile or more on his own track, plainly to gain a position where he could watch and get scent of any one who might be •following him. (After this manoeuver; he had gone on again for a mile or two, then lain down •in a fir thicket' :a while,—as shown where this body has melted the snow,—proleablty for a nap, to digest his marmots. Yet he had evidently been gone from here for some time. It was now long past noon. T was nearly tired out. We tramped. ;fifteen 'miles through three or four inches 'of snow, and the bear ahead appeared to be just as good a traveller as ever. Those two English men were .bent on ,getting a shot at a ,grtzely.

SEAFORTH, ONTARIO. up the side of another mountain,: for two or three miles. These Columbian mountainsides consist largely of the tracks of former avalanches which have swept down the forests into the gonges below; making enormous ricks of broken timber, piled and packed, helter-ekelter, sometimes forty or fif- ty feet in depth. For an hour or two we toiled up that steep slide, and finally reached the top, where we could 'look over in- to the next valley. Across this valley rose another mountain; and there, too, a snawslide had ocourred a .few winters before, fetching down a mass of 'broken trees. We had to wait here fifteen or •twenty .minutes, for the much disgusted 'Swiss to overtake us; and while we sat there in the shelter of the spruce thickets that grew al- ong the 'summit, I happened to see She bear, a mile or more away. He was across the valley, at the foot of the other mountain, and was partly out of sight in the old Hole of tree trunks. It was a long distance, but I saw him moving' there, and saw an old log thrown out. "There's your gnizzlyt" I said to Weeks. He looked, then unslung his field - glass. "`By lover said the to Cal- gard. "The boy's right!" They 'both looked, then let me take the glasses. They were powenful bin- oculars. Every movement the bear made was distinctly visible; and to see that Samson of a beast labor there in that old rick was one of the finest speotaales II ever witnessed. What he was after I do not know. It may have 'been 'beaver or otter, for there 'was a little creek buried under the slide. ;Beaver now build few hous- es hereabouts, but live under the banks of streams, or in such places of refuge as these old avalanche ricks. The logs were of all saes, and lay crisscross and every way in a mass twelve or fifteen feet high; and that bear was tearing them out to get down under the rick. IHe had already opened a ,considerable passage for himself, and was ripping and tugging away like a Titan of old. Logo, brush and rotten wood came hurtling out of •the gap. Even away up there on the top of the ridge, I could hear the old stuff crack and break as he yanked and wrenched at it; then out would come a log, end over end. Yet eager ,and mad as he was, he .+kept Itis caution, For he knew he was making a great .deal of noise. After that he would hurry back and rip out Blore logs. Ten men and a span of horses could not have done what that bear was doing, • The only possibility of approach- ing near enough for a shot lay fn go- ing .round to windward, through the woods, descending into the valley, and then stealing' up in cover of some thickets along the 'bed df the 'little creek below the rick; and that was what we now attempted to do. I was so tired that I •cauid hardly step,_ and the Swiss absalittely refused to go farther with his toad. So they left him there to watch. If the bear took to flight the was to shout to 115. As quietly as possible we worked' our way down to the little creek, It was a terribly tangled place. We were half att hour crawling in the 'stiow, among great rooks and snatitecl ever- green,` Meanwhile large. Raikes of: snow :began to fall again;. but the 'Swiss had not shouted, and presently we heard the bear quite plainly; he was still at work there. Finally we came to where we could see the rick and the loose stuff which the grizzly was flinging out. The two Englishmen conferred, and agreed to shoot as soon as the bear showed himself. The distance was perhaps a thousand feet. They stood just back of a fallen pine trunk. and rested their riffles across it. I al- so unsiung my camera, a'lthnugh of course there was small chalice of get- ting a picture at that distance in dloudy weather at that time of day. At best I should have needed a tele- photographic lens. Some minutes passed, The ibear did not come out, but we could still hear him. IAt last Weeks whistled, and a moment later we saw the bear's head rise up in sight. '"One—two— three," Calgard counted for me to make my exposure, Then both their rifles spoke, almost in one •report, and the white smoke hid everything. I had my eye on a tree to climb, in case 1 heard the bear corning for us: but we neither saw nor beard any- thing of hint. The Englishmen had been told large stories as to the ferocity of wounded ,grizzlies; 'neither of then oared to approach the rick. At last, as the storm was 'increasing and night coming on, we •went back- to where we had left the weary guide and camped there overnight. The next morning I was so stiff and so hoarse that I could hardly stir or speak: bait Weeks and Calgard trent doth to the tick to investigate. They found the bear dead in the gap which he had made beneath the loks. They said that he had worked •baok for forty feet or more beneath • the mass. Only one of their shots had ta- ken effect. This bullet had struck the hear directly beneath the right ear; and penetrated to the base of its brain. Up at the camp %i -e heard their ex- ultant shouts. They were all the fore- noon removing the skin. We then set off on the return tramp, but were obliged to camp an- other night .in the snow, and were all pretty nearly exhausted when we reached the thine. The S:wies ;guide declared that a thousand dollar would not tempt trim to start off on another bear -hunt with those Eng- lishmen. The picture I got was too 'had to be of much use to the artist, vet I have always been. glad I made that trip. 'It was a great object -lesson, as illustrating the strength of grizzlies, and what one of them can do in a day.

TESTED RECIPES Spring Fashions in Foods As styles in clothing change with the 'approach of spring, so lighter foods are 'favoured to suit the appe- tite which accompanies warmer wea- 'ther. What might (be termed substan- tial supper .dishes, which are so sat- isfying during the winter months ,are replaced at this tints of year by oth- ers, 'more spring-like as it were, yet just as .nourishing, .Steamed pudding:, and similar desserts are neglected in ;favour of lighter dishes of milk and fruit, which .can be made very appe- tizing.
