It was early afternoon. Near by, the smaller hills shimmered in the
radiant warmth of late spring, the brownness of their foliage and
boulders merging gradually upward to the green of the spruces and
pines of the higher mountains, which in turn gave way before the
somber blacks and whites of the main range, where yet the snow
lingered from the clutch of winter, where the streams ran brown
with the down-flow of the continental divide, where every cluster
of mountain foliage sheltered a mound of white, in jealous conflict
with the sun. The mountains are tenacious of their vicious traits;
they cling to the snow and cold and ice long after the seasons have
denoted a time of warmth and summer's splendor; the columbine often
blooms beside a ten-foot drift. But down in the hollow which
shielded the scrambling little town of Dominion, the air was warm
and lazy with the friendliness of May. Far off, along the course of
the tumbling stream, turbulently striving to care for far more than
its share of the melt-water of the hills, a jaybird called
raucously as though in an effort to drown the sweeter, softer notes
of a robin nesting in the new-green of a quaking aspen. At the
hitching post before the one tiny store, an old horse nodded and
blinked, -as did the sprawled figure beside the ramshackle
motor-filling station, just opened after the snow-bound months of
winter.

1924. Illustrated from photographs. In his introduction Cooper
suggests to the reader that the next time he or she goes to the
circus to try a new viewpoint. To remember that we are all animals,
we all belong to the same kingdom and with that in mind, experiment
with the idea of looking at those animals not as just so many mere
brutes, but as merely a different branch of the animal kingdom to
which you belong. Look upon them as foreigners, as visitors to your
land from a different shore, strange but willing to learn, and with
far greater perceptive powers, perhaps, than we have. Contents:
Inside the Training Den; Tramping it to Cagedom; Character in the
Cages; The Dog Wagon; Menagerie Psych-Stuff; The Ellyphants are
Coming-g-g ; A Hundred Tons of Prankishness; and The Keeper of the
Bulls.
1921. With frontispiece by George W. Gage. The Cross Cut narrates
the tale of how when a melancholy old man dies, his son becomes
involved in a mining operation the old man has kept secret. See
