40 WILD BROTHER 



tain restlessness that betokened the approach of an 

 attack of spring fever. Each night I dreamed of 

 woods and fields, of sunlit lakes and shady forest 

 streams. By the first of May the malady was at its 

 height. 



There is only one really effective thing to be done 

 for spring fever. With me the remedy is simple 

 if quickly applied. It is to say good-bye to the 

 city, close my desk, shut my door, and buy a ticket 

 for the woods. 



On the 3rd of May this remedy was applied, and 

 Comrade and I were ofT for a spring outing, to visit 

 my camp in Maine. I was getting together mate- 

 rial for lectures on the lumber industry that year, 

 and now it occurred to me that a side-trip to visit 

 the lumber-camp where Bruno was living would 

 serve two purposes, for I was anxious to see again 

 the Weldons and the cub.
