He was after a number of men in that club, and, whenever opportunity offered, he reached out for them and mangled them. Even the newspapers, with one or two blackmailing exceptions, ceased abusing him and became respectful. In short, he was looked upon as a bald-faced grizzly from the Arctic wilds to whom it was considered expedient to give the trail.

If the soldiers were dense enough to insist upon their formation, the Indians fighting all over the field and each red warrior for himself would fill them as full of holes as a colander. When, therefore, Senator Hanway called Governor Obstinate a grizzly, it was a name of respect. The usual methods would not prevail in his stubborn case.

Here he was interrupted by an angry growl, as a great bear suddenly rose to his feet behind a rock. "You may thank your stars that we are too busy to attend to you," Jerry said, as they rode past within a few yards of it. "That is a grizzly, Tom; and an awkward beast you would have found him if you had come upon him by yourself without your shooting-iron.

Pudfut, the Englishman, first in from Norway, where he had been sketching on board some lord's yacht he of the grizzly brown beard, brown ulster reaching to his toes, gray-checked steamer-cap and brierwood pipe an outfit which he never changed "slept in them," Marny insisted.

At that distance they had witnessed the terrific spectacle, but they could not see the cub. As Thor stood panting and bleeding over his lifeless enemy, Langdon lowered his glass. "My God!" he breathed. Bruce sprang to his feet. "Come on!" he cried. "The black's dead! If we hustle we can get our grizzly!"

Three shifts of men broke the ore at the face and sent it up the shaft to the grizzly and from there it was fed down through the enormous rock-crusher and then on through the ball-mills and rollers to the concentrating tables below.

The grizzly bear resembles the brown bear of Europe, but it is larger, and the hair is long, the points being of a paler shade. About the head there is a considerable mixture of grey hair, giving it the "grizzly" appearance, from which it derives its name. The claws are dirty white, arched, and very long, and so strong that when the animal strikes with its paw they cut like a chisel.

It was late one night in their camp on one of the many creeks in the Blackfoot region, where they had been established for several weeks, and Baptiste was on duty, guarding their meat and furs from the incursions of a too inquisitive grizzly that had been prowling around, and the impertinent investigations of the wolves.

The Indian hunters immediately classed the white, the deep and the pale grizzly red, the grizzly dark-brown in short, all those with the extremities of the hair of a white or frosty color without regard to the color of the ground or foil under the name of hoh-host.
