ONE iH'Urs of the affection of wild crealurug and their devotion to one another, even unto Ui'ath. This la undoubtedly true In many in- Btances, but to my mind more wild animals die through displaying bad temper than through gentler sensa- lions. I have seen a grand ten-point black-tailed deer brougut down while bullying a game little spike buck; I have lain on the edge ot deep pools ♦n-l watched a surly pll<e ram his ]u;ad Into a net while attempting to Intimidate a big bull trout, ftlorc- over I once saw a grizzly that died becauBo lie had lost his temper when a man approaobcd as the bear was eating, and I was once an active par- ticipator in the death ot a lynx that jVould have escaped unscathed had it not stopped to (law up a dog tiiat It |could have outrun on three legs t On the other hand, there are many '•lories of affection. Once 1 was an llntcrested observer of a she-bear put- ting a fast-rlimblng Dane up a tree find keeping him there while her twin offspring climbed neighboring eap- JlDgs, and were, in her opinion eiife. I have been told of devoted trout that committed deliberate sut- I'iilc because their mates had taken the hook. I know of enormoub bull VBlnises off the roast of Ilrltlsh Co- lumbia who personally see to it that •vfn the smallest pup Is driven into the safety of the black waters when danter tbreateus. Then there are the (alos of the male salmon guarding the spawning beds from l)uccaneering trout while the female salmon ih'- posit egfs; and sailing rarn have told till jf mother whales sheltering caivpB iinrter their grfat flukes while Uie haritooas were reaching d&t.-p for the mother's vitals. All these are â-  worth telling, and may be told, but at ' present the subject is temper leading up to the deiiiise of the mountain sheep whose eighleeo-lnch horns had been the aiubition of hunters for three long seasons. lie ranged the peaks a score of I miles below I'alliser w!;%re, from the highest pinnacles of his range he could look down the fair sweep of the valley and see C. V. R. trains lolling up or roaring down the grades. He did not know what they â- were nor did they bother his mind much. To him they may have been crawling flies. His simple life did not include them, his chief nnnoyances were the self-imposed duties of whippiii!? young and ambitious bucks, keepln.; ills band of ewes in proper subjectlo:i. and avoiding the two-legged creaturi--,, who crawled ;-0 clumsily about the rocks and frightened one with sharp noises followed by high-pitched whines. Once, when he had heard the sharp sound and did not hear the whine, his side had hurt for a long lime and the liiood had flowed as it does when an eagle or a mountain lion rips the hide, and he did Lot want to repeat that experience. So ha was very watchful. One day he ctood on a wind-swept slope nnd gazed, high-headed, over the broad valley. Nearby his hand browsed placidly. A youthful and In Judicious mate edged over to a charming young female and butted her playfully. Bho too displayed frivolity, she shouldered him awav In- vitingly. The king of the band saw llieae carrylngb on nnd stamprd a stern warning. The young buck and tbs silly ewe spianj apart with ( [keen appreciation of what fcUowed ; outbursts of temper by the lord and ! master. A Email stone, loosened l^^' the liasty feet of the youuK buck roU- [ ed and clattered down the rocky ; grade. Around behind a distant shotilder of rocks a man who had been fruit- lessly hunting all afternoon had turn- ed toward his valley caiup, warned by the lengthening shadows of late afternoon, lie heard a distant clatter of ;i rolling stone on loose shale and paused a moment before dropping to his knees and creeping noiselessly to- ward the point from whence the clatter cniiie. The big buck, high-headed and vv-atchful, but raging and »oamlng with anger, was just stepping down toward the impudent young male with every intention of inflicting merited chastisement when thi; ritla cratked. The anlnial turneif aud tied, blindly and fast, half stunned b) the blow that smote his shoulder and burned his Interior. He ran in- stinctively upward while his band also scattered to the heights by other routes and the vN-hite man, breathless and panting, followed the b!ood drops that marked the path ot his prize. He followed to the snow line and be- yond, his hunter's soul gladdened hf the crimson dashes on the white 'mantle. And at last, a half lulte I from where he had raised the b nd, 'and a thousand feet above the spot, he iiame upon the bighorn chief's oody, [half btiricd In the juiro white of a iheaven-ciiiubing slide.
