In my previous books I have tried to emphasize our kinship with the animals by showing that in them we can find the virtues most admired in Man. Lobo stands for Dignity and Love-constancy Silverspot, for Sagacity Redruff, for Obedience Bingo, for Fidelity Vixen and Molly Cottontail, for M other-love Wahb, for Physical Force and the Pacing Mustang, for the Love of Liberty. In this volume, Majesty, Grace, the Power of Wisdom, the sweet Uses of Adversity, and the two-edged Sorrows of Rebellion are similarly set forth. The material of the accounts is true. The chief liberty taken, is in ascribing to one animal the adventures of several. Of course we know nothing of the lamb-days of Krag. I have constructed them out of frag-9 Note to the Reader ments from the lives of many mountain-lambs. But the latter parts, the long hunt and the death of Scotty MacDougall, are purely historical.

The greyhound incident in which Tito lost her tail was related to me by Major John H. Calef, U. S. A. The other circumstances are chiefly from my own observation. Johnny is almost without deviation from the facts. The Kangaroo Rat is compounded of two, and the Troubadour of several, individuals. Chink is entirely true. The Chickadee is, of course, true only in its underlying facts...
