pany, there IS none with more
about it than Fort Smith, perched
above the Rapids OF the Drowned. on
the Slave river. The Slave river
flows here from Lake Athabasca to
Great Slave lake, and halfway on its
journey, Just where the Goth parallel
OF north latitude divides the province
OF Alberta from the Northwest terri
tory. It passes Fort Smith.
The fort is set high above the
troubled waters, severaI hundred feet
up the steep, rocky bank. a fine
spot for defence it was. in the early
days, but now. that attacks are over,
it is an inconvenient location, in spite
OF its picturesque qualities. All day
long you can see those who are in
the biblical phrase drawers Of water"
toiling up the steep path with yoized
buckets over their shoulders-Indian
women and children. servants Of the
company. carrying every drop that is
drunk, and whatever may be used for
other purposes. It is not discredit to
wash sparingly IN tort Smith. One
must needs have scant consideration
for the value of human labor to DO
otherwise.
All about the trading post are scat
tered the tepees Of the Indians, wan
derers OF the great woods on their
annual trading expedition. They
bring with them the breath Of the
shaped their tight-lipped mouths, its
loneliness has made their steady
black eyes inscrutable; its mystery
has made their laugh a low. quick
bitten thing, like a laugh snatched in
the shadow of terror. All these things
the white wOodsmen show even more
strongly, with the quicker impress
sionability of finer clay. The north
ern wood runner is man apart. al
most a separate species of the human
animal. shaped by the relentless pres
sure of an irresistible environment
And old Fort Smith watches it all,
growing only little grayer. a little
more kindly and understanding with
the passing seasons. Each year IS the
same-the silent snow, the ice locked
river, the breaking cold of winter;
then the cracking Of the fee, the jam
that goes out laundering in the spring
torrent, the trumpet call of north
bound geese. The land bourgeons
forth in a brief summer, with violets
and roses and strawberries green on
the southern slopes. with days that
are light from noon to noon. with
wonderful. endless evenings under the
trees. that the level rays OF the low
sun flood with bath of gold. Then
the quick autumn, and again the snow
an endless round. Only the men go
forth and return not; the group of
woodsmen Longing on the grass is
always the same, but always there
are new faces among them, old faces

Uncle wiggily put on his tall silk

striped rheumatism crutch down off

Together they went, over the fields

sides they saw their animal friends
walking about doing nothing. For II

Wiggily, as he thought of something.
Let me ask you question: Biting
souse is work for you, isn't it,"
1T certainly is work." said the
Skeezicks, though I like It, I had
hard enough work catching you, any
how"
Then" said the bunny uncle, you

But did Uncle wiggny and Muse
