for the wilderness in general and the
Little Otter in particular.
Since Miss Strong's advent into the
Wilderness the beavers had suffered
gross neglect. Those last few chap
tiers of "The Beaver as He Really Is"
progressed but slowly. The naturalist
sought his desk only late at night or
at odd hours in the early morning. The
rest of the time he was ut the colonels
camp.
He took Miss Strong to the beaver
dams to explain to her the intricacies
OF their construction; he taught her
the best casts for trout and salmon;
lie padded her to the salmon holes up
and down the stream. And all this
time a realization grew upon the nat
uralist that the woods and their occu-
pants were not sufficient to his hap
piness.
Three weeks went by all too quickly.
The colonel had announced his nten-
ton to start for home two days later.
As the naturalist padded homeward in
the red twilight he became suddenly
