Now there was something about the bear that took away his fear and gave him in its place a new and thrilling confidence.
Wakayoo, big and powerful as he was, would not run from the two-legged creatures who pursued him! If Baree could only get past Wakayoo he was safe! Baree darted to one side and ran for the open meadow.

Wakayoo did not stir as Baree sped past him--no more than if he had been a bird or a rabbit.

Then came another breath of air, heavy with the scent of man.
This, at last, put life into him.

He turned and began lumbering after Baree into the meadow trap.

Baree, looking back, saw him coming--and thought it was pursuit.
