258 tomorrow but I am in very poor shape and the situation certainly does not warrant my taking any undue risks. Monday, March 1, 1910 Clear and pleasant. Temp-23 Bar 31.14 Mac left yesterday for the hunting grounds. With the two dogs he took all the dogs he could assemble in order that he might get them fed up for the later work. We are very quiet and happy again as is always the case when the crowd here is small. Thursday, March 4, 1910 Cloudy with snow. Clear -14° Every minute almost I fear the dreadful Day of "Konstik coming" We are having such an un- bellevably pleasant time that any interruption will be almost a sacrifice. The days now are not cold and of course very bright as the snow hurries up into the sky. It does seem to hurry now in comparison to the seemingly sudden months we waited to see it once more. Hal pulled one of Odie's teeth tonight. Tot has distinguished himself by bringing in a rabbit three days running.
