worsted in the fight, so I answered, “Giv 
him the challenge.” 
The horn responded with the angr 
blast. That challenge to battle was s 
different from the love notes to whic 
he had been listening that he pulled u 
with a jerk and his bristles instantly ros 
from his ears clear down over his hip: 
As he stood there rigid and defiant I 
was not cetain that I had not poked int 
a hornets’ nest, but in a few seconds h 
turned and ran, his bristles still in fighl 
ing trim. 
When he had gotten probably seventy 
five yards away Jack repeated the whin 
of the cow. He stopped, laid every hai 
again, turned around and answered wit 
the mating grunt. Again the angry chal 
lenge came from Jack’s horn. Up ros 
every bristle. He wheeled and this tim 
the mud flew as he turned behind som 
tamaracs and disappeared. If a moos 
ever reasons, I think he must still b 
trying to solve the mystery of Big Bog 
for surely he never suspected there wa 
a human being near him.

With respect to “chiggers” attackinj 
members of our own race, the fact ha 
been known for many, many years, am. 
there have been thousands of sufferer 
from such attacks. Those who are ou 
picking blackberries are especially liabl 
to them, as are they who simply tram]

summertime for the exercise and plea

and I chance to be one of them; for 
although I have done everything to cour 
an attack, the effort has always prove< 
a failure. 
The case here reported of a snak<

been no photographs giving the appear

By JOHN A. McGUIRE 
Introduction by Dr. Wm. T. Hornaday 
From a collecting trip to the Far North for big game specimens, the 
author, J. A. McGuire, gives us something of a real and lasting interest 
and information. Days with the packs on glaciers; climbs among the 
snow, ice and rocks for white sheep; long stalks in the timbered areas for 
moose; aerial hikes on the rolling barrens for caribou; and climbing dizzy heights 
for white goats — these are all described with a precision and vividness that makes 
us wonder if we aren’t really participating in the trip. 
Handsomely illustrated from many photographs taken by the author.
