But solitude is now and then broken by visitors, and from the time he was a ‘home for his first wondering look at the great world he was taught that such itors as occasionally visited that rock ‘WHISTLER THE MARMOT IS THE ‘WATCHMAN OF THE HEIGHTS. alide were almost certain to be hungry folk who would like nothing better for linner than a fat Marxot, and that eternal watchfulness was the price of security and a long life. “Your eyes were given you for some- thing besides looking for something to eat,” his mother had explained. “We Marmots have extra good eyes.
