TUR HUNTING 163 



nameless, mysterious, beautiful attractions about one 

 which so rarely come again. The feel of the early air, 

 the scent of the waving grasses, the desire to see the 

 other side of every craggy top is all a part of the 

 childish glamour which lures you on, and calls and 

 calls — it's wonderful ! The next rocky ridge, which 

 may be far away, seems so near. The extraordinary 

 clearness of the atmosphere is answerable for this 

 mirage, but you don't think of that. You can hardly 

 restrain your curiosity which prompts you to peep 

 over the other side and see if any tur are roaming 

 there. And when that is gratified, it is the same with 

 the next up and down.
