of lightning or the roar and echoing roll of thunder. 

 Once I saw a grizzly turn to stare at the course of a 

 shooting star; another gazed for seconds at a bril- 

 liant rainbow. 



Generally the grizzly's attention to these demon- 

 strations rose superior to commonplace curiosity; 

 he looked long, he listened closely, he was ab- 

 sorbed, and he appeared to feel as he sat lost in 

 wonder. Had he been a child, with the power of 

 speech, he certainly would have asked questions. 

 Often his expression, his attitude, indicated that he 

 was saying to himself: ''What was that? What 

 caused it? Where did that noise come from? What 

 are those strange shadows running from, and how 

 can they move without a sound?"
