t ipped bear and big black bruit : , en hite
s tately round for meat , would cautiously
sp ass that way. Sometimes at night tim
t ourists would canip for ii change.
It wilt one itight that they did this
t hat Mr. Sherman had his adventure-
( time thit Is iio new to him now. They
c umpad in it clump of timber below thu
m ountains , and corralled tim hortes mi
f ew rods off. It was about mid-
n ight when Mr. Sherman was miwakened
by the neighimig of a horse. He got up
t o reconnoiter and saw ii black object
pass near the corral. The moon wits out
I n all her splendor , though the treeS
s hadowed the earth. Thinking that
t he object was a man and that he meant
t o steal the horse , lie took his pistol
f rom his pOCIOt , timid noticing that his
clasp-knife wai' alt right , ho cautiously
advanced. He was looking about to sea
whore the bI black object had gone ,
when , us though It hitid risen front the
ground , a big black boar stood in front
of him ,
First ho thought to run , but this
' would bo death , for one stroke from its
powerful paw would lay him low. Thu
pistol was a small ono. but he i'aiScl it
t itter his Iirst surprise was over and
pulled the trigger. It did not go oil.
. llo just remembered that lie had neg-
b octeil to reload the weapon that ovomi-
Ing after discharging all the cartridges.
When the trigger snapped the bear
l ooked at the pistol curiousiy and then
at Shermun. The latter took his knife
out and slowly backed up until he was
pI'OtOCtel by a tree. The bear followed
mimid cari'crsingiy begumi to hug him.
Its hot breath was uoii his taco , and ho
grow faint. ITO rallied and drove the
knife to the hilt Into bruin , who , now
fully enraged , rolled Sherman on the
ground. Now It was light or die. Another -
other plunge and the sharp edge of the
s teel ivemit plowing up the bear , fnii'ly
disombowohing him. The struggle
soon ended , and iilthough Shermnami
was the victor , he was not altogether
unhurmeti. The tourists heard the
noisq , and were in time to wittiess tim
end of the } mttbc. For a weolc after
