 infinite toil they chained him, bound 

 him his paws to his neck, his neck 

 and breast and hind legs to a bolted 

 beam. Then raising the door, they 

 draped him out, not with horses 

 none would go near but with a wind- 

 lass to a tree; and fearing the sleep of 

 death, they let him now revive. 



Chained and double chained, fren- 

 zied, foaming, and impotent, what 

 words can tell the state of the fallen 

 Monarch? They put him on a sled, 

 and six horses with a long chain 

 drew it by stages to the plain, to the 

 railway. They fed him enough to save 

 his life. A great steam-derrick lifted 

 Bear and beam and chain on to a flat- 

 car, a tarpaulin was spread above his 

 helpless form ; the engine puffed, pulled 

 out; and the Grizzly King was gone 

 from his ancient hills.
