Back at Holl's Inn, we mentioned the porcupine incident to the master of the house, Oscar Holl (who, incidentally, has renounced the vows of bachelorhood and taken unto himself a lovely wife), and Mr. Holl laid: "Porcupine, eh? Have you seen the bears yet?" Now I have been tramping around the Adirondacks, man and boy, Off and on, for the last 20-something years and I have nescr seen a sjenuine black bear in his natural habitat. I have known of hunters who have gone after bear for years upon end and never even seen one. "Let's tec laid Mr.

Holt, looking at his watch. "It's 11 o'clock. I think If you drive down the Limekiln past the golf course, and take the first road oa your left, youll see a couple of bears. The road leads to a dump, and tbt bears have a habit of scrounging around in there at night. They're wild and there is talk that the State Conservation De-pertinent la going to destroy them before someone gets hurt." We felt a bit ashamed at first, going so ill-prepared, because Mr.

Gollon normally is equipped tq the nth for such undertakings. But he confessed that he had forgotten to bring some of his things. His big flashlight, bis compass, his book on animal life, his binoculars with the night lenses, his Little Gem bear trap, hi special photographic equipment for photographing bears in town dumps, his book on how to cook bear teaks, and his special shoes for tracking black bears after II p. m. were all arranged in a neat pile back in Rochester.

Alas, the absence of a trailer had made it necessary to leave this stuff behind. It was as black as the ace of spades down that little road, and our headlights cut through the night like a spotlight on a darkened stage. And there, caught squarely in the beam, was a black bear. He weighed (we found out later) better than 300 pounds, and he wasn't more than 40 feet away. We turned the car carefully around and the lights picked up, one by one, three other smaller bears.

They paid a minimum of attention to us, being mildly curious but apparently unconcerned. So excited did my bride become that she opened the car door and apparently was on ber way to pet the bears when I shouted: "Get back in here. listen," she said, "you know how I am with dogs and horses. I have a knack with all animals. That bear likes me, I can tell."
