"To what danger do you refer?" He surveyed me with cunning, old rheumy eyes, and: "What about man-traps?" he inquired. "Ain't man-traps dangerous? And what about shot-guns? Shot-guns can make a party feel sick, can't they? Oh, ah!" "But," I exclaimed, "you surely don't mean that there are traps laid in the grounds of the Park? It isn't legal.

The bear had tangled himself in the canvas and was blindly tossing it about, rolling himself up in the slack, and audibly complaining of the fire and smoke.
