Tuttle's Baits OLD FORGE, NEW YORK 
Patented July 23, 1918. 
of timber that soon thinned ont, and we 
were again on the edge of another gorge 
witli the steepest of sides. The far side 
ran up as if from a trench, and the dogs 
were at tlic bottom of this tissure-like 
formation and were traveling well — 
while on the far-sloping hank and not 
playing the laggard was the grizzly. 
Because of the gap it was hard to 
judge distance, hut 1 pulled trigger on 
an off-hand try. 1 was using a Savage 
bolt-action and 87-grain bullet, and I 
saw the hear stagger and reduce some- 
what his steady going. But still he kept 
on, and I sent one . more shot after him 
that just kicked up a little dust at his 
Hank as he topped the ridge and went 
out of sight. The dogs were now close 
and b}" the time we took the up-grade 
wc heard them giving tongue in no un- 
certain strain. 
They soon had the bear at bay in a 
place foniiing a blind alley. They must 
liavc slid into this trap-like place just 
after making the ridge, the bear but a 
few moments ahead. This defile or 
draw was blocked by a solid wall of 
rock, over which at one time a cataract 
had plunged, with a width of but four 
or five paces at its base. Against this 
the quarry had come to a halt, if his 
shifting tactics and occasional rush at 
the dogs could be called a halt. 
At 25 paces 1 managed to place a shot 
just as the bear partly raised up for 
a strike at the larger dog, that then 
harassed him. It made a staggering 
blow on his chest and must have 
crushed in some ribs, and the infuriated 
monster, with a terrific roar and a glit- 
ter as of hate and fury in his eyes, with 
the red gums drawn from hugely-formed 
fangs, lowered and made to charge us 
both. We were right in the way of the 
only narrow outlet, as we had been ad- 
vancing with the hope of getting a close 
and sure shot at a vital mark. The 
space of only a few feet was between 
us and the maddened grizzly'. A miss 
now aiul (his tale had never been writ- 
ten, hut Peggy guessed it and made a 
sidelong rush at the critical moment. 
The hear made a great curving sweep 
with one paw that partly struck her with 
broken force, hut the swift side-sweep 
with the left foreleg gave the opening 
wanted and my partner placed a ball 
clean through the heart. A forward 
lunge which brought him almost at our 
feet, a convulsive shudder, and all was 
over. 
Peggy then claimed our attention. She 
was lying on her side, and we soon found 
that one hind leg was broken. It was a 
fairly clean break without complications, 
and we managed to put it in such shape 
that we could get her to camp with the 
least amount of suft'ering. She never 
whimpered during our work, hut licked 
my hand and a look that only a faithful 
dog can give came in the soft brown 
eyes. She had taken the biggest risk. 
"V^E estimated the weight of our kill 
’ to be about 1,000 pounds. The pelt 
was a dark brown, with the rich golden 
shading that I think exceeds in beauty 
the silver-tip so many prize ; it took some 
time to get this robe off. A great horned
