Palette. Any living thing can find 

 protection there and the result is that 

 any time you choose to ride forth you 

 can see perfectly wild game in their 

 homeland. 



It was not till the next year that I 

 really saw Wahb. It was at his sum- 

 mer haunt, the Fountain Hotel in the 

 Yellowstone National Park. If you 

 were to ask Nimrod to describe the 

 Fountain geyser or Hell Hole, or any 

 of the other tourist sights thereabouts, 

 I am sure he would shake his head and 

 tell you there was nothing but bears 

 around the hotel. For this was the 

 occasion when Nimrod spent the entire 

 day in the garbage heap watching the 

 bears, while I did the conventional 

 thing and saw the sights. 



About sunset I got back to the hotel.
