CHAPTER XXIII THE TOUGHEST STRUGGLE OF MY LIFE. _ swam a few strokes, and then wad- ing gently and without noise, I climbed With shiv- ering frame aud dripping garments, I stood, uncertain what ceurse to pursue. I was on the opposite side of the lake—l mean opposite to where | had entered it. i had chosen that side fron: precautioo— le-t the bear should suddeuly return. de might deposit the carcass in his lair, and ‘come back to look after me It is a ‘habit of these animals, when not pressed by immediate hunger, to bury their tood or store it in their caves. Eveu the eat- \iug of the autelope would have been en jaffair of only a few minutes’ time. The bear might stiil return, more fierce that ‘he had tasted blood ! | I was filled with irresolution. Should I fly off to the plain beyond the reach of {pursuit! | should have to return again for imy horse and rifle To take to the | prairie afoot would be like going to sea without a boat; but, even had I been sure of reaching the settlements in safety without my horse, I could not think of such a thing. 1 loved my Moro too well to leave him behind me; I would have risked life itself rather than part with (that noble creature. No the idea of de sertiog him was not entertained for a moment, But how was [ to join him? The ouly path by which I could cross the bar- ranca, had just been taken by the bear. lie was no doubt still upon it, in the bottom of the ravine. To attempt pass- ing over, would be to briug myself once more uuder the eyes of the fierce brate ; and I should certainly become his victim. Another idea suggested itself—to go up the barranca, and find another cross- ing, or else head it altogether, and come down upon the opposite side. That was clearly the best plan. I was about starting forward to execute it, whev, to my _ dis- may, | again beheld the bear; this time not upou the same side with myself, but upou the opposite one, where Moro was picketed! He was slowly climbing out of the ravine, and when I first saw him, was dragging his huge body over the escarpment of the cliff In a moment, he stood erect upon the open plain. I was filled with a new consternation ; I saw too surely that he was about to attack my horse! The latter had already observed the bear’s approach, aud seemed to be fully aware ot his danger. 1 had staked him at the distance of about four hundred yards from the barranca, and upon a lazo of about twenty in length. A¢ sight of the bear, he had run ont to the eud of his trail-rope, and was snorting aod plunging with affright. This new dilemma arrested my steps, and I stood with anxious feelings to watch the result. I had no hope of being able to yield the slightest aid to my poor horse—at least none occurred to me at the moment. The bear made directly towards him, and my heard threbbed wildly as I be- held the fierce monster almost within clawing distance. The horse sprang round, however, aud galloped upon a circle of which the lazo was the radius, I knew, from the hard jerks he had already given to the rope, that there was no chance of its yielding and setting him free. No; it was a raw-hide lazo of the toughest thong. J knew its power, and { remembered how firmly I had driven home the picket-p n. This [ had now cause to regret. What would not I have given to have drawn the blade of my kuife across that rope ! I coutiuued to watch the struggle with a painful feeling of suspense. The horse still kept out of reach by galloping around the circumference of the circle, whiie the bear made his attacks by crossing its chords or ranuiog in circles of lesser diameter, The whole scene bure a resemblance to an act at the Hippodrome, Moro being the steed, aud the bear taking the part of the riag- muster ! Ouee or twice, the rope circling round, aud quite taut, caught upon the legs of the bear, and carrying him along with i' for some distance, flung him over upon his back. This seemed to add to his rage, and after rising each time he rao alter the horse with redoubled fury. I might have been amused at the singular spectable, but my mind was too painfully ayitated about the result. The scene continued for some minutes without mnoch change in the relative position of the actors. I began to hope that the bear might be baffled after all, aud finding the h rse too nimble fer him would give over his attempts, particu- larly as I had noticed the latter adminis- ter several kicks that might have dis- comfited apy other assailant; but these only rendered the bear mere savage and solicited, a0d} venveful, Just at this moment the scene assumed a new phase, likely to bring about the dexnoument. The rope had once more SINGLE Coprges Two CENA, VOL 10.—NO. 42, Hy ee a wy pressed against the bear; but this time, instead of trying to avoid it, he seized it in his teeth and paws. I thought at first he was going to cut it, and this was exactly what | wished for; but no—to my consternation I saw that he was crawling along it by constantly renewing his held, aud thus gradually and surely drawing nearer to his victim ! The horse now screamed with terror! I could bear the sight no longer. I remembered that I had left my rifle near the edge of the barranca, and some diss tance from the horse; I remembered, 1oo, that after shooting the antelope, I had carefully reloaded it. [| ras forward to the cliff, and dashed madly down its face; I climbed the opposite steep, and clutching the gun, rushed towards the scene of strife. | was still in time; the bear had not yet reached his victim, though now within less than six feet of him. I advanced within ten paces, and fired, Asthough my shot had cut the thoug, it gave way at the moment; and the horse with a wild neigh sprang off inte the prairie ! I had hit the bear, as afterwards ascertained, but net in a vital part, and my bullet had ue more effect upon him than if it had been a drop of snipe-shot. [t was the stength of despair thai had broken the rope, and set free the steed. It was my turn now; fer the bear, as soon as he perceived that the horse had escaped him, rushed forward upon me, uttering as he did so loud a ery. I had no chauce but fight I had no time to reload. I struck the brute once with my clubbed rifle, and @inging the gun away, grasped the readier knife. With the strong keen blade—the kuife was a bowie—I struck out before me; but the next momeut I felt myself grappled and held fast. The sharp claws tore up my flesh ; one paw was griped and held over my hips, auother rested on my shoulder, while the white teeth gleamed befure my eyes. My knife-arm was free-—I had watched this wheu grappling—aud with all the energy of despair. I piuuged the keen blade between ke ribs of my antagonist. [| sought for the heart at every stab. We rolled together to the grourd, over and over again. The red blood covered us both. I saw it welling from the lips of the fierce mouster, and | joyed to think that my knife reached his vitals. I was wild _l was mad—I was burning with a fierce veugeanee—with anger, sueh as one might feél for a human foe! Over and over the ground in the fierce struggle of li‘e and death. Again I felt the terrible claws the tearing teeth; again weut my blade up to the hilt. O God! how may lives has he? Wiitl ae uever yield to the red steel? See the blood !—-rivers of blood —the prairie is red—we roll in blood. I am sick at the sight— sick—I faint. O Heavenly es TO BE CONTINUED. _— — NEWS NOTES.
