principle taught in that first rabbit drive, — 

 that two hunters are better than one to out- 

 wit any game when they hunt intelligently 

 together. That is why you so often find 

 wolves going in pairs ; and when you study 

 them or follow their tracks you discover that 

 they play continually into each other's hands. 

 They seem to share the spoil as intelligently 

 as they catch it, the wolf that lies beside 

 the runway and pulls down the game giving 

 up a portion gladly to the companion that 

 beats the bush, and rarely indeed is there 

 any trace of quarreling between them. 



Like the eagles — which have long since 



learned the advantage of hunting in pairs 



and of scouting for game in single file — 



the wolves, when hunting deer on the open 



barrens where it is difficult to conceal their 



advance, always travel in files, one following 



close behind the other; so that, seen from in
