The air held a nip of frost even at midday, and the nights were loud with the hoarse bellowing of rutting moose. For days now a queer feeling of unrest had gripped Ruddy. He did not understand it; his hunting was lacking in that particular satisfaction he had always felt at the finish of a successful adventure. Coupled with it was a deep desire to roam into a strange land. He fought against it for a while, but finally one night, when a lopsided moon came up over the spiky tops of the pines and flooded the wild and lonely landscape with its ghostly glow, the wanderlust took active shape. Without plan or direction, he wandered off. He hunted only when hungry and slept only when very tired. The waking hourse were mostly devoted to the exercise of those faculties which would one day make him famious.
