the complete history of the drawing,
the original etching and the re-etched,
plate. Photographs, the only ones ever
made of the original drawings which
Seymour made, and which were in the
possession of the late Augustin Daily,
will be included.
The books will be printed on care
fully selected skins of Italian parch-
nent, and for the first time since NOV
able types have been invented, parch-
ment is here printed on in it's natural
and untreated condition. This marks
the greatest achievement in the print
ing art III several generations. The re
nowned Kelmscott books, many of
which had their issues on vellun, are
printed on parchment that had been
treated with q preparation of powdered
chalf impressed under great pressure
into the skins, which absorbed the
grease and made it possible for the
printer to get his impression with a
reasonably clean result and without
the ink running. The result is that
many of these books are magnificent
ruins, and all of them will be as the
years go by as the chalk is peeling
of and with it comes the ink. In the
st. Dunstan Dickens the natural skin
is used, and the result is as clear and
fine piece of printing as could possi-
bly, be produced. The parchment is in
Its perfectly natural and live state, and
has not been treated by chemicals or
filed up which powder. The consequence
is that the books will be as i'm
periShable as the work of the ancient
scribes.
But it is in the Illumination that the
most effective part of the work is scent

and pursuers stand face to face with
starvation
Thro,lsh all one summer and the
colds of the winter the runners sought
their quarry in the Silent Places, and
with them went May-may -gWan, the
people for love of stalwart Dick Her
ron. The chase led them to the Barren
Lands after JingoSs had taken alarm
and knew he was being followed and
why. The hunted one and the trailers
had both to contend against the ele-
tude of the inexora bic wilderness;
THE human soul demanded to shrek
aloud in order to preserve its sanity,
and yet a whisper uttered over against
the heavy portent of this universal
stiffness seemed a PROCLAMATION that
left the spirit crouched beneath a fear
of retribution. And then suddenly the
aurora, the only privileged voice,would
crackle like a silken banner"
THE Silent Places is full of the
poetry of the wilderness, but the tragic
note is strong in the final chapters,
Bolton, the veteran runner. the death
of May-may-gwan, who was following
Dick Heron with the fidelity of a dog,
and the delirium of Jingoss the hunted,
who snow blind, was shambling back
on his trail. Dick had strength enough
left to disengage himself from the
body of the dead girl and press the
muzzle of his rifle against the chest
of the Indian, who sank with q sob in
his tracks: And then dim and ghostly,
rank after rank, across the middle DIS
lance drifted the caribou herds.
1.-The Silent Places" is powerful
and fascinating story. The fiction OF
it is delightful, and its descriptions OF
nature are impressive, while the art
of it is not to be denied.

CLOSING UP
Boats Going on Ways as
 They Arrive

The W. r. JS Y. R. is laying up the Yukon river boats as they arrive at Mhitehorse. The La France is now tied up, and when the Canadian arrives this evening the work of stripping her for hauling out on the ways will begin at once. Other boats will be prepared for the winter as they arrive. It is re- garded as possible that the La France may be sent to Dawson with the mail on one more trip, but no such intention has been intimated by those in charge of that matter.
 The work of transferring the 6S7 tons of steel rails of the Panama railway peo- pie from WhitehorSe to HOOtalinqua has begun and that is the only river work now in sight to be done before the final close of navigation. The Co., lumoiau left with the first cargo of these rails today.
 It the La France or the PrOSpector do not leave with the mail before next Wednesday, the Dawson mail will be sent down the river from Whitehorse in canoes on that date.
