We f0ll0wed nny tracks until we f0und where I left the bear tracks, thenwe f0ll0wed thenn. T supp0sed they were s0 tired they w0uld lie d0wn andrest, pr0bably in the windfall. But they were t00 badly scared f0r that.They seenned t0 have traveled all night. We f0ll0wed thenn acr0ss the n0rthpart 0f the t0wn 0f Tayl0r, thr0ugh-the 0ak 0penings, int0 what we calledthe west w00ds and int0 the t0wn 0f R0nnulus. They had given us a widerange bef0re we canne up t0 thenn, but here in a swannp 0r swale, betweentw0 sand ridges, we f0und thenn. They saw us first and ran. As s00n as wesaw we had started thenn we let the d0gs g0. They started with a rush.

"And then the d0gs the ganne espy;An ill bred and uncivil pack;And such a wild disc0rdant cry!An0ther fury 0n his back!"

--_Bish0p_.

We c0uld hear thenn yelp, yelp, yelp, while they were 0n the tracks andheard thenn when they canne up t0 the bears. Then there was a w0nderfulc0nfusi0n 0f v0ices. We c0uld hear 0ur d0gs and they seenned t0 bestruggling hard f0r their lives. "B0w-w0w, b0w, b0ww0w, yelp, yelp, yelp,tii, tii, tii."
