INTRODUCING WILLIAM the narrow, one-way Continental Divide Road. There they sit, Mrs. Bear eagerly awaiting the sound which no one who has ever heard it before can forget, the distinctive sputter and cough of the first Model T of the season. William becomes rather nervous and ill at ease as the coming ordeal draws nearer. - Mother! he beseechingly whines, Why do I have to do this? You know how bashful I am about meeting strangers - - -. His words fade into nothingness. Nonsense, William! sternly retorts his parent, stamping her foot for emphasis. Do I have to punctuate my remarks with the use of my paw? I'm ashamed of you, you big, healthy, strapping youngster! Why, your ancestors have held up cars for generations! And as to being afraid, how many times do I have to tell you that all the animals in this park are under United States Government protection! Mrs. Bear stops for breath and ruffles her fur suggestively. The cowed and subdued William retires, licking his paw, and begins a diligent search for an elusive ant. Soon the tlrst Model T of the season chugs into view, dripping with collapsible tents, collapsible cots, and collapsible stoves. Mrs. Bear hur- ries into the underbrush, commanding William to do his stuff. William stands in the middle of the road and looks hungry. His beady black eyes roll coyly from side to side. , The Ford puffs up to where William is standing, sputters weakly, and stops. A surprising number of people pour through, around. and over its rattling portals. Oh, how cunning! gushes one woman. Where's the kodak? Quick! Bring the poor little dear something to eat! The last speaker suits her actions to her words and rummages around Beneath an awkward canvas affair attached to the side of the car until -she brings forth several bananas fa triile over-ripe, to be sure, but still bananasl, some Hershey bars, and the remainder of a mangled box of cheese crackers. William is delighted with these contributions and, by way of thanks, assumes his most becoming pose before the kodak. He scarcely notices when the Ford jerks doubtfully down the road. He glances up only long enough to mentally jot down the Ford's license number. He ls busy un- wrapping an almond Hershey bar. 405

INTRODUCING WILLIAM 1 In r x l if . Pl ,Q . Tv V l cf, W lp. .l l I 11' F yl l ff? ff? if is fy ibk' M xy?- HIJHLC 1 HEN William first made his appearance in a peaceful and contented bear family in Yellowstone Park, any- one but his mother would have taken him for noth- ing but a motley little ball of fur. You could almost have tucked his scrawny, rat-like body, which Weigh- ed only eight ounces, into a good-sized tea-cup. He looked more like a dirty dish rag than anything else. By the time June has ar- rived-little bears are us- ually born in February- William has grown like the proverbial little weed and has developed into a nosey, energetic animal with an absurdly large head. He has had his el- ementary lessons in small game hunting and has be- come quite adept at nos- ing out ants from under- neath rocks and boulders. He has also learned to step lively when old Mrs. Bear arches her left eyebrow in silent command. She has no sentimental qualms about cuffing her young- ster five yards or so in punishment for some boy- ish prank. Her course of teaching is evidently very effective for William never has to be punished twice for the same offense. He, with good reason, has at- tained a wholesome awe and respect for his mother's powerful front paw. About a week before the Yellowstone Park season opens, Mrs. Bear begins a process which is at first very mystifying to Wil- liam, young in the ways of the world. Little sister Gertrude is kept in the background. Each day Mrs. Bear takes William up to
