branch. He paid little attention to me, 
but eyed the dogs with a quiet air. I 
yelled for Tom, and while waiting for 
him took four exposures with a small 
Kodak. Tom’s head soon stuck out 
of the thicket and he called to me to 
help him catch the dogs and tie them, 
which I did. 
Y now strength was at a low ebb 
a grip on myself, braced, and aimed 
earefully a second time. I drew for all 
there was in my heart. An arrow 
flashed through the bear’s fur. I 
whipped a third shaft from my quiver

Tom, standing by my right, saw the 
arrow pass diagonally through the 
bear, from in front of his right hip to 
his left shoulder, come out, and keep on 
going; so naturally believed I hadn’t 
hit.

through the bottom of the gulch and 
lay there, dead.
