An Orphan
By Earl U. Homuth
A helpless young marmot was found by
Ranger Crogan wandering beside the road near Anna Springs camp. Two
large black ants had attached themselves to its nose and their grip was
so determined that a pocket knife was necessary to remove them. Possibly
those enemies had driven the little fellow in desperation from its nest.
At present the orphan is doing nicely at Headquarters, receiving
considerable personal attention.
