 structive, and this is his best yet. Foul intimate friends, boys quick witted, full of life and thoroughly up to date, yet
 always clean and manly, who are to en- 1 ter college in the fall, are given a sum | mer in camp under the care of
 "Ethan,' former schoolmate of the
 father of one of the boys, who is an in-
 teresting typical rural character. All
 are impressed with the historic associ-
 ations of the scenes about them, and one leading spirit has been especially | inspired by the noble rative of
 Parkman, so that many an evening by
 the campfire is passed by following in
 fancy the footsteps of Cartier and oth-
 CTS. The days are filled with sport and adventure, not always unmiXed with
 peril and anxiety, and a most merry
 and at the same time profitable sum-
 mer passes all too quickly. The book is
 finely illustrated and is a capital story
 for young people. The illustrations are
 by A. B. Shute.
