40 WILD BROTHER 
tain restlessness that betokened the approach of an 
attack of spring fever. Each night I dreamed of 
woods and fields, of sunlit lakes and shady forest 
streams. By the first of May the malady was at its 
height. 
There is only one really effective thing to be done 
for spring fever. With me the remedy is simple 
if quickly applied. It is to say good-bye to the 
city, close my desk, shut my door, and buy a ticket 
for the woods. 
On the 3rd of May this remedy was applied, and 
Comrade and I were off for a spring outing, to visit 
my camp in Maine. I was getting together mate- 
rial for lectures on the lumber industry that year, 
and now it occurred to me that a side-trip to visit 
the lumber-camp where Bruno was living would 
serve two purposes, for I was anxious to see again 
the Weldons and the cub.
