Excerpt from Wilderness Ways HE following sketches, like the Ways of Wood Folk, are the result of many years of personal observation in the woods and fields. They are studies of animals, pure and simple, not of animals with human motives and imaginations. Indeed, it is hardly necessary for genuine interest to give human traits to the beasts. Any animal is inter esting enough as an animal, and has character enough of his own, without borrowing anything from man - as one may easily find out by watching long enough. Most wild creatures have but small measure of gentleness in them, and that only by instinct and at short stated sea sons. Hence I have given both sides and both kinds, the shadows and lights, the savagery as well as the gentleness of the wilderness creatures. It were pleasanter, to be sure, especially when you have been deeply touched by some exquisite bit of animal devo tion, to let it go at that, and to carry with you henceforth an ideal creature.
