furs to Lac Bain. Not a
soul among them--man, woman, or child--but knows the story of the "tame
bear of Lac Bain"--the pet of l'ange, the white angel, the Factor's
wife.

The bear wears a shining collar and roams at will in the company of a
great dog, but, having grown huge and fat now, never wanders far from
the Post. And it is an unwritten law in all that country that the
animal must not be harmed, and that no bear traps shall be set within
five miles of the Company buildings. Beyond that limit the bear never
roams; and when it comes cold, and he goes into his long sleep, he
crawls into a deep warm cavern that has been dug for him under the
Company storehouse. And with him, when the nights come, sleeps Miki the
dog.
