POOR SIR WALTER!
How the Lion Hunter Camped

Andrew Lang, in The Illustrated London
News.
Ii we suppose that our bores and tour
lists, English or American, are more i'm

their ancestors were about 1890 we are
very much mistaken. They are still
pretty bad In the way OF picking and
stealing. For example, a party of them
were caught in the act of trying to steal
brass in the little old church of Chel-
sea, connected with the memory OF Sir
Thomas More. 1t has also, | am told
been found necessary TO protect by iron
defences the tombstone which Scott
erected 10 the memory Of Helen Walker
(Jeanie Deans) at Irongray. But In his

Sir Walter. l wonder at the mans
moderation; why not crib letter, urn and
all2
I have Just read a letter written as
late as 1880 by gentleman who, as a
little boy, was acquainted with Scott.
He speaks OF a time when Scott occu-
pied rooms, very uncomfortable. In a
street beyond the west end OF Princes
street. Sir Walter was 80 pestered in
"a time Of distress and hard work, that
he asked the boys mother TO receive his
writing table and desk In her own house
in ne!ghboring street He said that
tourists, especially Americans, invaded
his rooms at all times, asking TO be al
lowed to sit at his desk and write. Was
Dickens ever cheved I'm this way? Did
they pursue George Meredith into the
little pavilion In the garden? The lady.
Of course, consented TO do what Scott
wanted. He put up a notice OF mo Ad-
mittance' on the door OF his rooms, add
ing that his desk and table were no
longer there. But some spy discovered
the place OF their retreat, and the house
Of the mother OF the letter writer was
besieged by these abominable tourists
knocking and ringing all day long. II
was necessary TO remove the desk and
table secretly under cloud OF night. and
10 display a notice intlmating that the
desk and table was no longer In -
street.
The writer OF the letter had sat on
Scott's knee, and been told stories nv
the great story teller. Once. when he
arrived Mt Abbotsford az p child with
his father, Scott called his great deer
hound MAZDA, and said, MAZDA. take
this boy for walk, and when he Is tired
let him get on YOUR back" and the child
actually did ride about on Mazda. The
dog was a gift from Glengary. and was
named after tho same British yictorv

422. Philadelphia: George w. JACOBS E
Co.
There IS q vigorous swing to this story
of tho Canadian Northwest that carries
its big, strong hero to the heart OF the
reader. It is a simple story enough so
far az plot goes, but It has plenty OF in
cident growing out Of the plans OF
traitorous rival to prevent the carrying
out Of q large government contract for
lumber, even though tho resultant ruin
VIII affect a whole community, and not
one man alone. SO there are break
Gowns and fires IN sawmills taxed to the
limit Of their capacity, and strikes and
violence up in the hills among the lum-
beriacks. A most likable. muscular
Christian of q pastor, the right man for
that rough. primitive region, Is well
drawn; the heroine amply suffices for the
purpose Of a romance which all con-
cerned, including the reader. see from
tho very first. but It is the hero and his
domination Of his environment that make
the success Of q wholesome, spirited.
swiftly moving tale.
