she was craftiIy scheHing woman all her life
long. If she is to be as much pitied blamed
it is because circumstances so contributed to
the development OF all the worldly traits in
her nature. While she was still an infant she
was pawn in the game being played by the
courts of France. Spain and England for the
balance of power in Europe. To those m con-
troll at each of those courts the possession Of
Scotland could not but mean an increase of po-
itical weight and an added resource In military
enterprise. The squa bibles for the hand Of Mary.
begun almost with her birth render her pa
thetic figure, and Major Hume is not forgetful
of those aspects of her childhood in France
which appeal 10 our sympathy. But he lays
stress upon her precOcious appreciation Of her
royal state and prerOgatives. and exhibits her
as capable. even at the outset Of her career, of
acts which It is Impossible to cor one. As the
time Of her marriage to the Daupk.- approached
she gave pledge to Scotland that she and her
husband would preserve intact the laws and
privileges of that country. but meanwhile she

Hume more or less steadily builds Up a concftl-
stve answer to that question as he unfoIds his
narrative. The woman whose upbrfngtng at
the Hcentious Court Of France had permanently
warped her powers Of discretion: the woman

through the secret Iabors OF her foes. had al

Survey of the International Boundary
to be Made.

Washington. D. &C. H. Sinclair.
OF the coast geOdetic survey, who is to
participate in the survey of the inter
national boundary between United
States and Canada, before leaving
Washington for Puget sound, spoke
briefly Of the work that is to be car
ried on this summer.
The line we will run said he. will
be an extension of the line already
run and marked out between the Lake
OF the Woods, and the summit of the
Rockies. The line has been previous
ly traced out, and marked at Intervals
of from 5 to 25 miles.
But the points between these
places are So inaccessible that human
foot has never trOd them, and the
work Of the present commission is to
cut clear trail through the forest
from the top Of the Rockies to the
Pacific ocean. The forest is so dense
and the trees have grown SO large
that 1t is a big undertaking to cut
way through 20 feet wide.
Line to be Cut Through.
This line is to be cut through So
as to enable lumbermen and pros
pectors to locate their claims proper
ly. There are already 100 points es-
tabllshed at stream crossings and
Wherever the forest could be penetrat-
ed. These monuments are all in good
shape and will stand for many years
You will readily see how it is ne
cessary to those owning or taking up
land in the vicinity of the boundary to
know just where it lies. Thousands
OF lumbermen and prospectors are
Hooking to that vicinity and are de
VelOplng the timber and mineral re
sources. The trees there grow to be
zoo feet high and many inches in di-
ameter. The country is difficult OF
access. The forest is practically
impossible, and the Streams are SC
swollen by melting SHOWS that they
are we'll nigh impossible
Work Is Dangerous.
The work is dangerous. as storms
are frequent and terrible in their
power. Trees often fall like pipe
stems. Parties Of the coast geOdetiC
survey have had many narrow es-
capes.
The marking Of the boundary by
cutting out a sWath of trees is a
good idea. The lines thus made are
never Obliterated, at least not fol
many years. Up on the Mason and
Dixon line in the Alleghenies there are
places where this was done $50 years
ago, and the lines are easily traced
to this day
