For more than twenty years it has been my good fortune to live most of the time with nature, on the mountains of the West. I have made scores of long exploring rambles over the mountains in every season of the year, a nature-lover charmed with the birds and the trees. On my later excursions I have gone alone and without firearms. During three succeeding winters, in which I was a Government Experiment Officer and called the "State Snow Observer," I scaled many of the higher peaks of the Rockies and made many studies on the upper slopes of these mountains.</p> <p>"Colorado Snow Observer" was printed in part in <i>The Youth's Companion</i> for May 18, 1905, under the title of "In the Mountain Snows"; "The Story of a Thousand-Year Pine" appeared <!-- Page viii --> <span class="nopagenum"><SPAN name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii"></SPAN></span> in <i>The World's Work</i> for August, 1908; and "The Beaver and his Works" is reprinted from <i>The World To-Day</i> for December, 1908.</p> <p class="right">E.&nbsp;A.&nbsp;M.</p> <hr class="major" /> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
