WITH THE WADERS 103 



sparrow, I explain to my benefactor, who 

 waits for me to take an observation. The 

 species was discovered here, I tell him, and 

 was named in the town's honor. He seems 

 interested. " I should n't have known it," 

 he says. So I have done some good to-day, 

 though I have thought only of enjoying my- 

 self.
