In Colorado—On the Trail of Elk—A Night in the Snow- Deer, but no Elk—Another Wild-Goose Chase—The World's Fair King—The Last Hunt. |EVEI^ months had passed since the re- turn of the naturalist from the swamps of Manitoba—seven months of hard and wearing labor in workshop, laboratory, and class-room. The wind blowing through the trees of the university campus whispered enticing invitations >;o Dycho to lay aside again, for a brief period, his routine tasks and renew his energies by a sojourn in the mountains. With the invitation came thou jhts of those who were his companions in the Cascades, and later ho received two letters from these friends urging him to meet them in Denver and go with them to the mountains. " Join us if possible," wrote the judge. " We want to be in the expedition that secures the big bull elk. We were with you when you secured the magnificent collection in British Columbia, and wo think we can take you where you can get a World's Fair king. We can get Jim [Jim Kennicott, of Delta, Col.]. We had him last year mv^ know him to be the right man. We have engaged him and six horses for ourselves, and the party will be complete with you. Shall we engage horses for you?" 276.
