He turned around once or twice; but although he could see the trunks of the trees quite well, he could not perceive anything else. He was obliged to wait. He waited so long, that he was surprised a second time. "A bear would not come here to stop under the barcie; and a wolf would not wait until morning."
At first when he reached Bogdaniec, he was sustained by joy and the first cares about the house; but on the third day, the fever returned, and the pain was so great that he was obliged to go to bed. Zbyszko went to the barcie during the day, and while there he perceived that there were the footprints of a bear in the mud.
I will take a fork and a strong axe, and I will go alone to-morrow." Jagienka was silent for awhile; but great uneasiness was reflected on her face. "Last year," said she, "the huntsman, Bezduch, was killed by a bear. It is dangerous, because as soon as the bear sees a man near the barcie, he immediately stands up on his hind feet." "If he ran away, I could not get him," answered Zbyszko.
Gracious God, it is as if I were already in Bogdaniec." "What is the matter with you; I heard that the Germans had wounded you?" "They did, dog-brothers! I A head of a spear stuck between my ribs." "You see!" said Zbyszko, "everybody advises the grease of a bear. As soon as we reach Bogdaniec, I will go with an axe to the barcie." "Perhaps Jagienka has some." "What Jagienka?
"Have a hunting party for bears; there are plenty of them; and if you want some hunting implements, we will lend you some." "I cannot wait. I will go some night to a barcie." "Take a few men with you." "No, I shall not do that, for they will frighten the beast." "But you will take a crossbow!" "What can I do with a crossbow during the night? There is no moon now!
But Jagienka being afraid that Zych would say too much, swiftly approached Zbyszko, and began to inquire: "When are you going? To-morrow?" "To-morrow after sunset." "And to which barcie?" "To ours in Bogdaniec, not far from your boundaries, near the marshes of Radzikow. They tell me it is very easy to get a bear there." Zbyszko went for the bear as be proposed, because Macko became worse.
