The other girl sat looking nervOusIy

Another National Wonder.

Bolton Station, forty-tive miles west
of the summit, is the point of departure
for Lake Macdonald, which is destined,
as soon as known, to become the fore
most mountain resort in America. Its
features are all Alpine, and 1t Is com
parable only with Lake Luzerne in
Switzerland. 1t is eighteen miles long
by four wide, and occupies an abyssmal
fissure in the very heart of the Rockies,
whose depth has been partly tested
but never ascertained. FOreeted
mountains rise abruptly from its shores
to height of several thousand feet.
Glaciers, ayalanches, snow-capped
peaks, wild goats ami mountain trails
make up the similitude of the high
Alps, though the region is wilder, il
anything, because less visited. More
than all, it is full of ores, and a great
variety of mountain climbing fauna
(oreopal1) await the quest ofthe hunter.
There are not only goats of two varle-
ties, but big-horn sheep, elk, moose,
carbon, three kinds of deer, three
kinds of bears, wild cats and mountain
lions; grouse of several varieties, and
fish of many forms and families,-Sp0-

The amount involved is only $500, but

New England is, in proportion to its
population, the richest part Of the
United St'tce. From Maine TO Conuee-
ticut the country is dotted with savings
banks, and the bulk of the vast insu-
rance wealth of the Union is owned
there. Tom Reed tells story of a Me-
Iraska farmer who, travelling through
Maine, happened to stop at a little
house hanging from the side OF a rocky
hill, which constituted the farm. Dur
ing his stay he made many cutting crit
icisms upon the character of the soil,
