WAITING in the wilderness, that is, lingering 

 in a spot frequently visited by wild life, appears to be 

 one of the easiest and most delightful ways of getting 

 acquainted with nature and the ways of the wild. 



Going repeatedly to the same place means the visit- 

 ing of an old scene in which changes are constantly 

 taking place during your absence and in which the 

 beginning of something new may occur while you 

 are there. So, to have a really intimate and happy ac- 

 quaintance and a most thorough appreciation of the 

 wild world stage, one must revisit the same stage again 

 and again.
