44 THE MOOSE 



tribe coming after, though Time, "great-sized 

 monster of ingratitude," who scraps everything, has 

 reduced its value by removing the tongue that 

 spoke, lest it should lead into danger animals whose 

 place is in the gardens of the wild, even whilst he 

 granted, old justice as he is, the right of the bull 

 moose to wear for ever an outward and visible sign 

 of an episode immortal in moose history.
