with fine record-behind him. He thought he would try Alaska, and after the average experience of rough ing it and stalking and prospecting a few claims, settled down, he supposed for the winter, intending to write news- paper articles and assist on, local paper. And it was in pursuance of this work that he made four-mile trip up the canyon to Silver Bow Basin after the snow had fallen for several weeks, against the advice of all the old timers. It proved as his friends proph- esied, big storm set in and return was impossible, and it was supposed he would spend the winter in the Basin with the mill watchman and come out in the spring.
 A month or two passed. Tknow the sunshine does not last but an hour or so, and the women in the camp across the channel used to come over every clear day to get glimpse of the sun. The mountains were so high on their side that they shut it out entirely for period of six weeks. It was about the close of this dresry period that the town was startled by the report that the "Countess" had started for the Basin to bring Bartwell out. She did not intend her mission should be known, but in some way it was out the very day she left. There was but one opinion as to the outcome. Every one said it was suicidal. Only one man had ever made the trip in mid-winter, and he never cared to repeat it; in fact he said he would not make it again for all the stamp mills on the Basin road. Every one knew the "Countess" had helped Bartwen spend his money, and perhaps helped him save it sometimes when he was drinking too much, but no one suspected that she cared more for him than for dozen other men on whom she smiled.
 I can imagine much better than de- scribe that fearful journey from trip

took over the road one August day, when we gathered berries and flowers and viewed the great snow drifts yet remaining along the shady side of the canyon, the remains of snow slides which had piled up hundreds of feet deep. l can imagine how carefully she passed certain points lest a. miss-step might start the snow to rolling, and before she could get out of the way, be carried down with it to certain death. How in the distance she would hear low rumbling which would increase in volume until. it became deafenlng, laundering roar which would make the mountains tremble, as snow slide would start. widen and deepen and grow in volume and velocity until the stoutest tree and largest boulder would be but plaything for it's fury. Dozens of times she must have been startled by such occurrences, and look ed with eager eyes to see that she was not in the path of danger.
 To witness big snow slide is to see Dame Nature in her widest fury. You see little stream of rolling. apparent ly flowing snow, mile or two up the mountain side, but before it reache the bottom, acres of heavy timber may have been carried away, not simply pushed down the mountain side, but rolled sideways and endways and over and over, with roar of breaking trees and grinding boulders, with countless thousands of tons of snow. It makes a picture that may oft return in dreams and can never be forgotten.
 It was soon learned that the Count essn had left package with certain merchant, and he was piled with ques- tions, but could only reply that he had given his word not to open it unless she failed to return in fifteen days, and she had not even told him where she was going.

lawry and reckless daring, the
lawlessness and recklessness
have at least the merit Of
not being hypocritical and re-
spectacle.
Between q Life of Jesse James
and a Life of Jay Gould, the
former would seem to me less
likely to corrupt q boys ideals.
Or take the story Of the head of
one Of our great trusts. as I
heard it told to an assembly Of
young boys, stripped of all pos
sible bad featu res, just the laud-
dation of overlapping ambition,
the worship of financial success,
would not the reading of such q
life, especially as it is held up
for admiration and imitation,
tend far more to have a practical
influence for harm in the aver
age boy than any story of wild
adventure far removed from his
actual life?
But am not apologizing for
the James Boys list! Let US
condemn both lists alike.

The Bradys and the Factory
Girl or Secret of a poison en-

This is what you might call
concentrated, or intensive, read
ing. There is no scattering over
the broad field of adventurous
heroes. With one exception-in
which he has gone astray on the
Bradys and the Factory Girl
the devoted young student has
been as steady to his subject as
ever Carlyle was to the adven-
turous Frederick, or Macaulay
to the adventurous William, or
Prof. Sloan to the adventurous
Napoleon. He deserves this
need of praise. He has followed
the advice SO often given to
youthful readers, not to scatter
their reading, but to choose
some subject and read it up
thoroughly.
The writing shows that the
boy is not wholly illiterate; for
while he has no marks for pune
tuation or the possessive, every
word is spelled correctly. He
has probably gone through the
sixth grade of a public school,
perhaps higher; and he is type
of thousands We are turning
them out in great numbers, des-
tined to vex the souls of Har
Yards presidents years to come.
We are teaching them the simple
art of reading, but either from
not holding the pupil long enough
or from some internal defect we
are not teaching taste and judg-
ment. President Eliot was right
when he said lately that the pro-
ducts of our schools love cheap
shows and gaudy literature.
We need not say more about
our young friend. His list
speaks for itself, and we are pre-
pared to condemn it unani
mously. But the question arises,
is this the only type of reading
for boys that we should be ready
to condemn? Is there not quite
q different list of boys books
which are even more poisonous
to character than books Of wild
and impossible adventures =?
I think there is such q list, and
one all the more dangerous be-
cause it poses as the very best
for boys, and has the
of many we'll
meaning people. It is a type
which some business men would
perhaps pat Office boys on the
head for reading, and yet
should mention in all earnestness
that it is, in it's ultimate results
