SPURRED TOWHEE, MALE THE SPOTTED Towhee bulks large in the economy of the under- world. He is, in fact, its acknowledged prince; not, of course, in the Mephistophelian sense, but as the undoubted aristocrat among those humble folk who skulk under dark ferns, thread marvelous mazes of interlacing sticks and stalks, sort over the leafy wastage of the careless trees, and understand the foundations of things generally. To really get Master Towhee's point of view, one must be willing to creep on hands and knees among the bristling stems of mountain lilac and chamise of a southern mesa, or else go belly-wise through the rootage and cast- off duffle of a northern forest.
