THE BEAR "MONARCH." 229 



darker than his body. This is another 

 characteristic of the California grizzly. 



"This animal is thin now, doubtless from 

 the hard time he had while he was being 

 brought here. When he gets fat his hair 

 will have a very different appearance. It 

 will be interesting to watch him when he 

 sheds his hair. The coat that comes after 

 may be altogether of another color. That 

 grizzly, I should say, is comparatively a 

 young bear, and when he gets older the 

 gray that originally gave him his name will 

 very likely be pronounced." 



THE END.
