 glowed for more than a second. 



When we developed the plate we found that the old 

 bear had backed up against the tree and, with bared teeth 

 and savage mien, had faced the unexpected danger. The

 splendid proportions and of his savage courage. I have 

 called it "At Bay."

 a thousand memories and about a dozen flash-light photo- 

 graphs.
