They had been telling all m of
hunting stairs, some almost too mirac-
ulous to be believed. except by hunters
who had had eaperlenoes sad knew
what snags things sometimes occur far
away amid the forest wilds when there
are no witnesses. The last man had told
of deer hunting in 0 water. and s
snuat.beovyset1uans inthecer
oer seemed particularly interested in
the tale.
"That reminds me." be said. when
belied a chance to come in. “of an ex-
perience I couched up in the lake re-
gianofCunads. Apertyofus werein
es‘mp there. along In the fall, and were
listing greet sport with the rod and
gun. We had secured specimens of all
the some and fish for which the section
was noted excepts sheer. and of that
tracks had been reported not far from
camp, and we were to try for brain as
soon as we had made proper prepare-
tlous. The day before we were to start
out on the bear hunt I had gene of! up
the shore of the lake in a light once
we had to fish for acouple of hours
and get a try for copper. I had nothing
with me in the canoe except my fishing
outfit and no sort of awespou unless
the canoe paddle might be called one.
But a men didn't need a weapon to
catch fish with, so I gave no thought to
it. I had found a nice cars up the cove
about a mile from camp, and there“!
stopped the canoe about 60 feet from
shore in deep water and threw out my
line. Luck was good. and I had pulled
in five or six fine fellows and was hav-
ing more fun than anybody. except the
fisherman. when I was startled by a
splash from the thicket lining the shore.
and the next minute a whopping big
hear was making for me lickety split.
To say that I was scared doesn't half
express it. Iwus paralysed. I didn't
even have sense enough left to grab my
paddle and try to get away. I simply
caught it up and held it in my hand as
I would a club and waited. But the
bear didn‘t wait. Hewus very evident
ly hungry, or he never would have at-
tacked me out there In the boat, and he
was coming straight for me. I Waited
for him to get CICHO enough to bat him
one, and then I gave it to him with the
canoe puddle square between the eyes.
It dosed him It little, but it was far more
disastrous to the paddle, and when I
straightened up from delivering the
blow I had only about two feet of the
paddle left 111 my I111nd.'l‘ho rest of it,-‘
splintered. was floating in the wake of
the bear. He gave hilbself s‘ shake after
I hit him. and the next minute he had
caught the side of the canoe w1tl1 one of
his big paws and was manifesting 11
violent (losire to get aboard with me.
As be weighed about 400‘ pounds and
w as as powerful as 11 horse it did not
require a very: strong )1qu to settle that
partof the WW early, and instead
of his; ng aboard with me the canoe
was upset. slid I went into the water
with him.
"By this time~n portion of my wits
had returned and I had sense enough,
as the boat went toward the bear, to get
off into the’water with the boat between
the bear and 11111.1 was a good swim
mer and bad 11 faint idea if I got head-
ed toward the shorelcould outswim my
enemy and get away. so I turned, as
soon as I got straightened out in the
lake, and put back the other Way. The
bear in the meantime had started
around the end of the bent. coming my
way. I don't know what it was, wheth-
cr inspiration or fear or bravery, but
certainly it was something out of the
ordinary, for as I went around one end
of the boat and the hear was 111: the oth-
er or quite near it I was struck with an
idea. and instead of trying speed with
the beer for the shore I concluded to
try wits with him right where we were.
So I swung on to the end of the canoe,
which was bottom side up. and as the
bear tame toward me, I tilted the other
1 end up, sndwith a sudden jerk, dropped
the inverted bent over the bear's head.
The next minute I was on top of the
beat with the bear under me. 'I guess
he didn t. know what had happened to
him, for he didn’t seem to do anything
under there except to bump his head
against the bottom and growl. I thought
at first he might have sense enough to
dive and come out on the other side;
but, like turkeys that Walk into a pen
through a hole heading from the outside
into it, and. never once looking down
for the hole to get out at. run around in
a crazy kind of ’11 way till they are
caught, that bear staid under the bout
with me on top of it, bumping his head
and growling. By this time I was feel-
ing :1 good deal like Napoleon crossing
the Alps. or like some other great hero,
and felt still more like it as I noticed
the bumping and the growling growing
less every minute until finally they
caused altogether. I didn’t understand
that quite and began to wonder if the
bear wasn't catching on to himself and
thinking of the easiest way to get at his
dinner, when over in the clear water of
the lake, a dozen feet or so from the
boat. I saw something big and dark
slowly going toward the bottom and
drifting away. Another look convinced
me it was my bear, and another minute
found me swimming for the shore at 40
miles an hour, more or less. Half an
hour later I was on the spot again with
three men in a big canoe. and still half
an hour later found us on shore with
the body of the beer. which we had re-
covered turn the water It was a clear
case of human intelligence against
brute force, with the intelligence the
victor, of course, but when any more
contests like that are hooked I desire it
understood that I am not competing. "

hosted a profound sigh and looked“
