For many years I was unable to track it to any o( its haunts. During' a summer spent in Kensselaei- County, N. V., the Walkini; Leaf was the object of yarious expeditions, 1 recall one driye of twenty- live miles deyoted t(j huntinjj^ up a rumored station. At the end of the day, whicli turned out cold and rainy, and fruitless so far as its special ob- ject was concerned, I felt in- clined to belieye that the plant had justified its title and had walked out of the nei^i^hborhood. Yet, after all, no such expedi- tion, eyen with wind nnd weather ai^ainst one, as in this case, is really fruitless. The shar[) watch along the roadside, the many little expeditions into inyiting pastures, up j)romising cliffs, over moss-grown bowld- ers, down to the rocky border of the br(^ok, are sure to result in disccjyeries of value ur in moments of delight. A llower yet unnamed, a butterfly beautiful as a gem, an unfamiliar bird-song traced to its source, a new, suggestive outlook oyer the well-known val- ley, and,later, "a sleep pleasant with all the influences ot long hours in the open air "âany or all of these results may be ours, and go to make the day count. â¢47.
