On the morning, says Mr. Cumming, I rode into camp, after unsuccessfully following the spoor of a herd of elephants for two days, in a westerly course.

I'll do the same if I strike the spoor of the big devil.

On the 27th, as day dawned, says Mr. Cumming, I left my shooting-hole, and proceeded to inspect the spoor of my wounded rhinoceros.

Almost at once his eye encountered the "spoor" left by the preceding lad.

He recognized the spoor of deer, bear, and innumerable rabbits.

After following it for some distance I came to an abrupt hillock, and fancying that from the summit a good view might be obtained of the surrounding country, I left my followers to seek the spoor, while I ascended.

But he noticed then that Canadian journals left neither spoor nor scentmight have blown in from anywhere between thirty degrees of latitudeand had to be carefully identified by hand.

Some farmer walking over his field of swedes would find the great spoor of his feet and the evidence of his nibbling hungera root picked here, a root picked there, and the holes, with childish cunning, heavily erased.
