at Banff, except the special
characteristics of our own peerless
Yellowstone National park. Snow
clad peaks of greater heights, how
ever, are in evidence, and in that re-
jpect remind one more of the Alpine
scenery of Switzerland. That huge
mass to the northward, 10000 feet in
height, whose peaks are covered with
eternal snow, is known as the Cas-
cades. To the eastward the Fair
holmes, behind which lies Lake Min
newanka That sharp cone, known as
Peechee (called after an Indian chief
closes the view in that direction.
Along the razorlike back of the Sui
phur mountain, 5000 feet high, the
Dominion government has established
an observatory. 1t is favorite climb
for visitors to the park. The Alpine
club is located half way up the noun
tain side. The isolated bluff south
ward, known as Tunnel mountain"
has some beautiful driveways made
by the Dominion government, from
which pleasing vistas can be had OF
the Bow river falls and valley. Wild
sheep and goats can be seen on neigh
boring heights. About twenty miles
south of the park entrance is Mount
Assiniboine, said to be the Matter
born of America. The way to it leads
through beautiful valleys studded with
transparent blue lakes and park-like
prairie openings.
Resuming our journey, "a miles to
the westward, we arrive at Laggan,
the station for the Lakes in the
Clouds. 1t will ever be a pleasant
Renaissance to the tourist over the
Canadian Pacific railway, to leave
the train at this station and go up the
mountains with us to visit these
lakes. Lake Louise is one of natures
rarest gems of beauty. 1t lies at an
elevation Of 5,645 feet, and is shut in
on every side by rocky snow-capped
heights, picture of perfect peace. AS
you stand on it's shores and look
southwark across its mirrored surface
you will observe the forefront of the
great glacier, slanting upward until it
reaches a depth of 500 feet of solid
blue and green ice, fed continuously
by avalanches from that great mass
of snow and ice on the endless groups
of enormous heights beyond, the peak
dominating the scene is Mount Vic
toria, 10000 feet high. The ascent
from Lake Louise to Mirror lake and
Lake Agnes at an altitude $500 feet,
can be made by mountain tracks on
horseback or afoot, and we'll repays

Chinese Ruler Had Hundreds of Pam

and Sizes.

The late empress dowager of China
was fond of dogs and owned some
beautiful Pekinese pugs and kind of
Skye terrier. The pugs are bred with
the greatest care and they are wonder
fully intelligent animals, and it is
said that the King Charles spaniels
were bred from the first Chinese pugs
brought to Europe. The empress dow
ager had dozens of dogs, but two espe-
cial favorites. One was of the Skye
breed and most clever at tricks, lying

their tomb was in the church. which
is now in ruins. Later we saw the
stone, with their effigies, in the little
museum by the gate. They were
called Les Deux Enerves," in refer
ence to their mutilation. Uncle
thought the word meant nervous"
and we heard him say to Mr.. Porter,
well, who wouldn't have been, under
the circumstances" The whole of
the abbey is now the private property
of lady who lives in nice house up
over back beyond somewhere. She
built the lodge and also a little mu-
scum for relics from the ruins and
has stopped the wholesale carrying off
of stones from the beautiful remnants
of what must have once been a truly
superb monument. I am sure shall
never in all my life see anything
more grand or impressive than the
building as it is to-day. 1t is much
the same plan as the cathedral at
Rouen, only that that has been pre-
served and this has been long aban-
doned. 1t is so curious to think of
the choir which we saw yesterday,
with its chapels and stained glass and
then to compare it with this roofiess
and windowless one, out of the tops
of the walls Of which fir trees-big
ones-are growing. You don't know
what a strange sensation it is to see
trees growing out of the tops of ru-
ined walls the foundations of which
were laid by Charlemagne's relatives.
Uncle was delighted; he sighed
with satisfaction. This is the real
thing" he said to Mr.. Porter; 81 like
this. You can see that there's been
no tampering with this ruin"
The little museum was really very
interesting and had the tombstone of
one of Joan of Arcs judges. 1 feel
very sorry for Joan's poor judges.

Dearest Mama: It is midnight, and
i must tell you the most astonishing
piece OF news. We came here with
uncle last night and all this morning
we were out with him. When we came
nome and unlocked our room we
found Lee sitting by the window. But
he doesn't want uncle to know. 1t
was fortunate that uncle's room is
across the hall, for 1 screamed. We
couldn't see how he got in, but he
says that he has bent a buttonhook
so that he can travel all over Europe.
Russia at all; but he doesn't want
uncle to know. He says he thinks
Russia is a good place for uncle to
imagine him in. We had such fun!
We told him all about the voyage and
all about uncle. He says M. Sibilet's
mother is his wife-he married her
for money. Lee is really going yacht
ing, but he doesn't want uncle to
know. While we were talking, uncle
raped and Lee had to get into the
wardrobe while uncle came in and
read us lecture. When we were in
the cathedral to-day he found a man
he used to know in school, and he
was utterly overjoyed until he saw
that the man had a sor, and then, of
course, he was worried over the son.
So he came in tonight 20 tell us that
IL he discovered any .kylarking he
should at once give w a friendship
which had always meart more to him
than we young things could possibly
imagine. He said we mist understand
that he'd have no sort of foolishness
going on and at that the wardrobe
creaked so awfully that Edna had a
fit of coughing and didn't know what
should have if he kept on. He
didn't go until it was high lunch-time,
and I was afraid Lee would have to
stay in the wardrobe until he smoth-
cred.
We lunched with uncle, Mr.. Porter
and Mr.. Porter, Jr., and afterward we
