RECREA TION. 



our horses were, was what troubled us; for 

 we could not bring the horses down to the 

 bear, on account of the rocks. The only 

 thing to do was to tie the legs of the bear 

 to a pole, 2 men get at each end and work. 



I would like to have a picture of us as we 

 started; it surely would be a beauty. 

 Sometimes we would all fall down, with the 

 bear on top. Stumbling, slipping, and fall- 

 ing we worked upward, until at last the 

 top was reached. Strapping the 2 bears on 



our horses, we started for home, arriving at 

 that haven of rest about 8 o'clock. Before 

 reaching the house, we gave a yell that 

 brought out grannie and Miss Lizzie, who 

 patted us on the shoulders, and compli- 

 mented us on our good luck. 



A few rainy days followed, when we 

 could not hunt; and the time for our de- 

 parture drew near. With heavy hearts, we 

 bade our friends good-by, not to meet 

 again till next hunting season.
