In plating the bait inside jtbc. tray, Hancock ac cidentally touched the trigger, and ?ht logs came dowa.snd imprisoned him. He tried to pry the heavy timber: apart, but fomul tliat he could ntx shift them an inch.

TTancocfc felt,safe, although his guu was stand ing by a tree some distance from the trap; 2tfo.se?for it was no other? . seemed to-realize the fact. Knowing Ids savage nature, Hancock Withdrew to the other side o^tin trap as the big form rose up on his |^p- hind legs, lie could feel the bear's hot breatl* surging through between the logs ufv.Ki his face: and, fearing that the brute would thrust his claws in, he ke?t moving from side to side. "Da.vlteht came at last, and Mn>e trotted on*. Again .Hancock built- a . fire and eooked the rest of the deer meat. ,He almost decided ft) set one end of the traji on tire and burn his way out.
