ing all things were full of noisy glad- 

 ness. 



Kellyan and Bonamy were back on 

 the Grizzly quest. " Time he was out 

 again, and good trailing to get him, with 

 lots of snow in the hollows." They 

 had come prepared for a long hunt. 

 Honey for bait, great steel traps with 

 crocodilian jaws, and guns there were 

 in the outfit. The pen-trap, the better 

 for the aging, was repaired and re- 

 baited, and several Black Bears were 

 taken. But Gringo, if about, had 

 learned to shun it. 



He was about, and the men soon 

 learned that. His winter sleep was 

 over. They found the peg-print in the 

 snow, but with it, or just ahead, was 

 another, the tracks of a smaller Bear. 



"See that/' and Kellyan pointed to 

 the smaller mark. "This is mating- 

 time; this is Gringo's honeymoon/'
