a story whose scenes are laid chiefly in
the backwoods of Canada. The hero IS
Scotty Mcdonald, a Scotch English lad.
He loves his woods and shadows, and the
influence OF his natures world, together
with the teachings OF his Scottish grand
parents, have much to do in shaping his
character. After his school days are over
he enters a lumber camp. The discovery
that his employers are INSCRIPTIONS in
their business dealings causes his honest
nature to rebel and he joins the ranks OF
those sent after Gordon to Egypt, There
he rescues an Englishman, which is the
