AMONG THE MUSKRAT LODGES 



my Ponkapoag Pond friends man's hand 

 for once is for him rather than against. 

 His home there is now a part of the park 

 system and he may be shot or trapped 

 only under penalty of the law. This has 

 been so for some years now and I think 

 it explains the numbers of the winter 

 lodges which are this year greater than 

 ever before.
