the lads stopped m affright, in tne xar
corner of the cave waa a ruii-grown
black bear watching helr every move

a moment s time were again ai tne en
trance of the cava.
They were willing to ngnt orum n
the open but not in pitch darkness.
Turning their guns toward the mouth of
the hole they fired Into It. One of the
charges from tha shotgun happened to
Just strike the right angle of he wall
and it ricochetted and struck tb bear
quarely.
With a squeal of pain and a roar of
anger the bear rushed for tha entrance.
The boy heard It coming and when ita
head appeared in tha entrance they I
turned loose. Dut railed to hit tna mad
dened brute. -Roaring horribly, it I
charged them. They nimbly dodged ita
rushea and reloading, fired again. Flrat

after the .other, It charged again and
again on tha rocky hillside.- When it
pursued one. the other boy fired hi gun
at the brute, and then it turned and
charged him and tha flrat lad did the

The Infuriated brute bellowed fero
ciously and the hunters realised that
the fight had simmered down to either
their killing the bear quickly or It would
kill them. For almost an hour the game

almost exhausted. Perspiration dripped
from every pore and their faces wer
