198 The Grizzly Bear 



assumption closed my eyes, and, having once definitely 

 accepted the animal as a black bear, I simply let it go at 

 that. The grizzly's walk has the appearance of leisure, 

 but he will cover long distances in a remarkably short time 

 without once going out of it. His run is something be- 

 tween a lope and a plunging gallop. He can outrun the 

 black bear by nearly a half, no man can match him in 

 speed, and it takes a mighty good horse to catch him.
