transv.'sciy poles were bound to the saplings, and the whole was covered with birch or elm bark arranged like the shingles on a roof, - the whale being secursd with poles bound tv tiie outside of the structure by means of cords of linden bark.Along the crown of the arch or peak formed by the fastening together of the tops of the saplings, that formad the sides or walls, there was an open space the entire length of the house, left for the escape of smoke and the admission of light.At each end of the house was a porch of similar con- gtruction, snd in ihe purches sod ¢isks made of bark, in which were kept smoked fish, Indian corn and other stores not liable to injury from frost.; Inside the house and along euoh side ran a wide scaffold about four feet from the floor.The scaffold was made of bark supported by posts and poles, and the hark was covered with furs and mats of rushes.he firewood was stored beneath the seaffold and on it the occupants of the house slept in summer.The fires were on the ground in a line down the centre of the house, cach fire serving two families.In winter all slept around the fires closely packed together.\u201d Just under the vaulted roof, and running across the building, were numerous poles from which were suspended weapons, furs, clothing and ornaments.In the autumn fhp qquaws also hung fro these poles numerous traces ôf corn in the ear.When the fires were burning the house was usually filled with smoke, in winter producing inflam- ation of the eyey, which iu old age frequently resulted in blindness.\u201cometimes as many as twenty fami- ilies lodged in a single house, each with its numerous unruly children and pack of snarling dogs.Privacy there wag none, and nothing of the peaceful \u201chome-lifo so \u2018highly prized by the normal white man.À fortified village was enclosed by a tep i sig the hy thick: A Lesson In Tracking.Mr.E.P.Stebbing gives in his \"Jungle Byways lu India\u201d an interesting instance of the wonderful tracking powers of the natives: \u201cOne hot diy we were on a barren, trappy hillside of rock.I asked Bishu, the shi- kari, how he could possibly say tho bison had gone over that way.He pointed to a small piece of stone.| picked 1t up and could just sec that it was slightly darker on the {ace which tay uppermost.It had been turned over by the bison\u2019s hoof shortly be.ore.\u201d A Question.Vera (eight years old)-What does transatlantic mean, mother?Mother\u2014 Across the Atlantic, of course;

govern- \u2018ment, and I hold, sir, that King George, in taking upon himself to insist that his wishes go before those of his parliament and ministers, is answerable for the loss of the\u2019 thirteen provinces, nnd what is ever so much worse, for making men enemies whom, by speech and kindred, God meant to be brethren.\u201d \u201cThat is worse than treason, that is blasphemy: what more have you to say?\u201d \u201cThat King George with his German ideas of royal rule and his wooden apprehension of passing events is accountable for the great crime of the century-\u2014 the severance in anger of our race.\u201d \u201cWhy, you are n philosopher.Go on\u201d \u201cI speak from experience.I have been wakened at night by the howling of wolves as they prowled round our camp-fires, and could not sleep again for thinking how I might find food for the children and others entrusted to me.I have seen Whigs and Tories perpetrate deeds of cruelty upon each other that made my flesh creep.In the last seven years I have risked my life a hundred times in standing up for the Motherland.I have had my heart torn in twain and the joy of day turned into darkness, and why?Because an obstinate man with a crown on his head persisted in being blind to what everybody suw was inevitable, and whieh he himself last winter, when he could no longer help it, was forced to recognize, by acknowledging the independence of the United States.\u201d \u201cSpew out all your treason\u2014you shall hang for this.\u201d \u201cIf ever King betrayed his trust and brought untold and unspeakable suffering upon his people, it is George the Third.I have passed through the horrors and know whereof I speak.That he is a good man in private life and meant well, is no satisfaction to those who, by his conduct, have lost all they held dearest and, driven into exile, have to bey for bread.\u201d \u201cYou shall beg for it in vain,\u201d interrupted the major, \u201cbut I shall provide a rope for

being better than their fellows, and to an exclusive loyalty.God save Canada from the breed who add office to office, make them hereditary, and, pretending they are the props of the empire, futten on the people\u2019s earnings: They helped to turn the thirteen provinces against British rule, and, unless kept down where they should be, will do the some here.I am no man-worshipper.Between one like yourself who makes loyalty stand for living on the public without serving it, lifting King George as your shield against complaint, and the American who makes a little god of Washington I see no difference.\u201d \u201cThis is your dying speech: what more have you to say?The felon on the scaffold is heard to the end.\u201d \u201cThat we sought out Canada in the belief that it was à land where

sergeant\u2019s appearing he was ordered to take Morven into custody and to hold him in close confinement until the boats left for Coteau: if he attempted to escape, to shoot him.To the sorrow of us all, and more to me who, standing near the door and hearing all that had passed, feared he was going to his death, Morven was taken away that afternoon, No word came back from Montreal, and the first we knew of what happened hin was what he told us wlien he, at last, returned.He said little and did not care to tell of whut he had undergone, but I made inquiry and learned what I here set down from those who kuew.On arriving in Montreal he was put\u2019in jail.On the fourth day he was taken out of his cel), led through the streets by a file of soldiers to headquarters, and found himself in presence of Sir John Johnson.Asking the attendants to leave, no sooner had the last withdrawn than Sir John warmly grasped Morven\u2019s hand and expressed his sorrow to find him in trouble.Then Morven told his story, from Hoover's warning to the Highlanders to leave to their reception by Major Fenner.On hearing it, Sir John apologised to Morven for being kept a prisoner so long, explaining he was absent when his letter was delivered at his quarters, In the events of the journey over the Adirondack wilderness Sir John showed deep interest, for he had traversed it himself in flying to Canada with 200 followers in the spring of 1776, and, as he said, had suffered all save death.He wrote: the order for Morven's rélease and\u201dt}ok :him to the commissary, \u2018who Paid\u201d him fifty guineas to, buy whatever the refugees wereïmost in heed of.While waiting for a boat, he had frequent conversations with Sir John as to the best method of settling the loyalists, of whom over two thousand were in waiting.The boat that Morven came by brought a despatch to Major Fenner, ordering hin to report at once at head- \u201c\" We were nol.idle\u2019 while\u201d Morven was away, for Sergeant (rant carried out the plan he had suggested.The land had not been surveyed, and there was no prospect of lots being laid out for some time, for the crown land surveyors had begun at the foot of lake Ontario and were working eastward, The : front, allowing to each family what he considered: sergeant, as well as he could, staked off the lake Paes og he Te would, when the surveyors came, secure: a hundred acres, or double that; gecording to the depth they would make the lots.This was quickly done, and as each family was given its lot they started to work to make a clearance for a shanty.As we all worked together and had many good axmen, log-houses went up so quickly that by the time Morven returned he found seven.They were poor affairs, about the size of a big room with sloping roofs, covered with slwbs of bark, and chimneys made of poles plastered with clay, but they were homes, and proud was each fami ly as it got one in turn.With our doings Major Fenner did not inferfere, perhaps Lecause the sergeant knew how to humor him: The major despised busi ness and hated to be troubled about what he did not understand or care about.He spent his time fishing or hunting; on rainy days he played solitaire, with a bottle at his elbow.From the government store house Sergeant Grant, according to the instructions sent from Montreal, for each family drew 4 panes of glass and nails enough for frame and door.To make windows and doors Morven set to work, and the day after he came had a whip-saw going.It was the end of October before all were in .their shanties, when a start was made to clear the land.At this all-did not work.So long as the St.Lawrence was open many of the men earned wages by sailing the boats that were always passing between Coteau and Johnstown, for so our post came to be known, being named after Sir John Johnson.But the name did not continue, for it soon gave place to Cornwall.Others who were handy with tools were hired by the government on the erection of large buildings, for preparations had to be made for the settlers whom the spring would bring.With the last boat Sergeant Grant and the piper left to rejoin their regiment at Sorel, for altho and in that at Isle-aux-Noix, waiting until the spring, when they would come with their families to join us.When the river froze men went over to St.Regis and brought the two ponies we had left on the bank of Salmon river.Word had been sent the Indians on our arrival, and they had taken care of them, and we had prepared a stack of hay, cut in a beaver- meadow near one of the shanties.It was some time before they regained condition, but when they did they earned many a gold piece by carrying freight and passengers on the ice between Johnstown and Coteau.For food we did fairly well.Every quarter each family drew rations from the government store; mostly pork and biscuit, sometimes ontmeal and flour.The quality was not always good, the pork rusty, the biscuit maggoty, but we were thankful to get it.to cut holes in the ice and catch fish in the dead of winter.All the while, the clearances were growing larger and the felled trees rolled into heaps ready to be burned when spring came.It was a stormy cold winter, but we did not feel it as much as the winters after, for our shanties stood in the thick woods, which broke the blast.The end of March the Indians began to make sugar and we learnt from them and secured o little.It was a late spring, and it was the third week in April when the ice left the St Lawrence, when preparations were started for receiving the discharged soldiers and their families Our work was now disagreeable, burning the trees we had felled.As they were green, they burned imperfectly, and it was toilsome to gather and regather the partly consumed logs into heaps and set fire to them anew.The men who wielded the handspikes were half-naked, sweat furrowing channels through the soot that coated them, their eyes smarting from smoke.Seed potatoes were supplied by the government, Indian corn, and turnip seed, which were dibbled into the soil between the stumps with hoes.With coming of spring we began to expect the arrival of refugees, like ourselves, from republican tyranny.It was not, however, until late in May that a letter came from Sir John Johnson ordering Morven to come to Montreal and lead the first party.As the boat that brought the letter would not go back for three days, Morven decided to go by canoe and told me to get ready.We left next morning, two Indinns managing the canoe.When Coteau came in sight we got glimpses of the red coats of the soldiers, for it was a military post, with guns that commanded the channel of the river.Workmen were busy building storehouses, for trade had suddenly developed with the country to the west, nnd there was mnch coming and going.I had heard many tell of shooting the rapids, and now I was to experience the flight over them, with their thrill of danger.The trees, that clad shore and island, dipping their branches into the hurrying flood, were bursting into full leaf; above the sky was mottled with fleecy clouds; it was, indeed, a glorious May day.In a few minutes we were at the head of the first rapids, which, to m alarmed glance, looked like a sheet of foam, with great billows tossing their crests, the spray glitteting as it fell in showers in the dazzling sunlight.An Indian was at the bow with his pa dle, the other at the stern \u2014Morven and I lay low between them.In we dashed into the roaring waters, were tossed wildly about for a few minutes, and, then, I was looking back from smooth water at the wild surges that sloped above us.My blood tingled with excitement, land I was now eager for the next rapid.It speedily came, and another, and another, until we leapt from the last on to the glassy bosom of lake St.Louis, along which we paddled until it grew dark, whon we drew up to a house on the bank.\u201d We found the \u2018habitant and his family at supper, their sole dish one of bruised corn builed in milk.We had brought our own provisions and after a hearty meal rested in the log stable to which we were made welcome.The Indians were stirring at the streak of day, Morven paid the habitant for his hospitality with a piece of pork, and the waters of the lake were crimsoning in the rising sun as we took our way to Lachine, of which I had heard much.It disappointed me, for it consisted of a few log huts and several long storehouses, filled with goods for the King's posts\u201d We parted with the Indians, who were at once hired for the return trip, and started for Montreal over a dreadful road, for such was the traffic that it was a succession of mudholes.Loaving mie at an inn Morven waited CltamBly Uy

long and black as night, do you?Because the beautiful person when you come to think of it merely sees herself in a glass darkly, never face to face, as we see her.She catches a glimpse of herself in a shop window, and a shop window is far more cohducive to giving one fits over the hang of one's skirt than any true and lasting assurance as to the beauty of one's face.Then take a looking glass.If I

clothes, more especinlly if she pays for them out of the money she earns herself.To do this she must have good taste and tnust understand herself perfectly, go she ean express herself In her clothes.She must be firin and unshaken in her bellef in herself, so that she can override the autocratic dressmaker's opinions, ns these same per- wearing clothes that don\u2019t suit them.She must
