a Grizzly from one wall across to the 

 other. All the sheep were now back 

 again beyond his reach. Pedro began 

 to fear for himself, so hastily returned 

 to the main flock. He was worse off 

 than ever now. The other Grizzly 

 was a Bear of ordinary size and ate a 

 sheep each night, but the new one, 

 into whose range he had entered, was 

 a monster, a Bear mountain, requiring 

 forty or fifty sheep to a meal. The 

 sooner he was out of this the better. 

 It was now late, too late, and the 

 sheep were too tired to travel, so Pedro 

 made unusual preparations for the 

 night : two big fires at the entrance to 

 the canon, and a platform fifteen feet 

 up in a tree for his own bed. The dog 

 could look out for himself.
