But presently he will come upagain, and if you remain quiet you arerewarded by seeing him go on the shoreand soon appear hauling a young cherryor a branch of alder and taking it to hiswood supply, or sitting up on the iceand nibbling the bark from the stick,which he turns in his front paws witha dexterity that is surprising.

Talking over the trip after our return. A\hat strikes me most is the apparentlack of fear in the animals one sees, withthe exception of the wolf, who is alwaysa sneak. The deer will stand and watchyou as you pass, the otter will go onfishing. I watched one immense chapat the foot of a slide where the waterwas open. He would slide in withoutany splash and presently come up againwith a fish in his mouth and sit thereon the ice quite unconcerned and eathis evening meal- Then the beaver. Itis true if vou come on them noisilv thev rush between him and the squirrel thathas been chattering all the time from anearby tree to see who shall have itfirst. But you must see these things to ap-preciate them, and my advice to you isif you feel blue, if your meals dont agreewith you, dont go to the drug store, buthurry aAvay to the woods, even if it isin mid-winter, and let Nature and Godspure air do for you what nothing elsecan !
