By Mohawk Trail
Up to the Top
Of New England
Slightly Longer Route for
! Traveller, but One Which
! Paws Ont i'm Scenic Beauty
{ of the District Covered

The Mohawk Trail, the main part
'fof which is over Hoosac Mountain be-
ktween North Adams and Greenfield,
Mass, may, with slight additional
smileage, be included in any circuit Of
the White Mountains using the Berk-
f.shire Hills Connecticut River route in
As.either direction. BY this means q
ss..scenic feature is included which might
sotherwise be missed or require a special
strip. !
- The suggestion comes from the tour
Ing bureau of the American Automobile
Association to start north from New
SYork, through White Plains and Bed
ssford, traversing the moderate high
lands OF central Westchester County
into the Harlem Valley. This route APP
..proaches the Berkshire Hills across the
~extreme northwestern corner of Con-
harrington, Stockbridg, Lenox and
xPittsfield to North Adams, for q con-
%necton with the Mohawk Trail. This
route runs east and west, instead of
north and south, but il is an excel
lent connection from the upper Berk-
shire district into the Connecticut
River Valley across Hoosac Mountain,
seas. of which it descends gradually to
.~Shelburne Falls and Greenfield.
80 Turning north at that point, the
tourist follows up through Northfeid
70 Keene, passing Lake Sunapee and
Lake Winnipesaukee to the White
Mountains, which are entered through
Franconia Notch. So far, in perhaps
not more than two days actual run
ming, one has reached the "top of New
England" through q, region of lakes,
mountains and rivers unsurpassed for
beauty and interest.
For an entire change one may plan
to return. at least in part by the sea-
coast. This may be done by starting
home from the White Mountains
through North Conway, Fryeburg and
Naples to Poland Spring. Leaving Po-
land Spring, the next objective is Port
land, the largest city and eprincipal
route center of Maine. From Portland
it is splendid run to Boston, mostly
along the seashore. through Saco- Bid
deford, the Kennebunks, the Yorks,
Portsmouth, Newburyport, Ipswich,
Salem and Lynn. Or one may turn
New-York tribune., 1920-07-25

further east from Ipswich, running to
Salem by way of Gloucester. Manches-
ter-by-the- Sea and Beverly, along the
Massachusetts "North Shore"
From Boston the return trip is over
more familiar ground, leading south
through Providence, Narragansett Pier,
Westerly and Mystic to New London.
Crossing the Thames River there, the
direct shore route continues across the
Connecticut River at Saybrook, and
through several picturesque old Long
Island Sound towns to New Haven.
Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stamford and
New York.
Reversing this circuit, the Mohawk
Trail would be used west from Green
field to North Adams and then south
through the Berkshires. In this way
its principal grade would be taken
downward from Hoosac Mountain into
North Adams, one of the greatest views
to be had from any highway in all New

4 HUMMER before last Rockwell
"a Kent, artist, did what all
~ artists must yearn to do at
least once In their lives. He
cut himself loose from the metropolis
where he lived, which in his case was
New York, left far behind him cares
and indifferent public and hostile
critics and, with his little son, jour
neyed to Alaska and from the Alaskan
mainland to remote place called Fox
Island.
There the artist and his son found
an old Swede, who was leading a
hermit's life on the island. Unlike
most hermits, the Swede was a go
ciable chap and readily fell in with
the Kents' plan to spend the winter
on the island. The old Swede led
them to disused shack, the Kents
went back to the mainland for pro-
visions, and soon the strange colony
of three was harmoniously installed
on the islet, ready to face the Alaskan
winter, far from civilization and
Washington Square.
OF that winter Kent tells in evil
dcrness" (Putnam's); he tells of it
both in words and in pictures, which
he has interspersed in plenty through
his pages. The book is, as he calls
it in his title, "a journal OF quiet
adventure" There ars no thrilling
escapes or anything Of the sort; Just
the life from day to day amid the
loneliness Of the northern wastes, the
journeys to the mainland for supplies,
the bowling Of storms about the
shack. the elaborate games solemnly
played at by young Kent, the rugged
ness and honesty of old Olson the
Swede. Simple matters like the death
Of magpie become momentous in
narrative like this; and ahere Is a
word Of thrill in Olson's entry in
his quantity spelled diary, apropos
of day when the weather left much
to be desired: Raining like hell"
Olson is q delight The artist and
his little son, suddenly dropped in on
the old Swede's hermit life, cause him
to swell all up with pride. Over on

lists in Fontaincbleau were appalled, to
learn that woman artist, and on Amer
lean at that, had come to invade their
haunt. They sent scout, Robert A. M.
Stevenson. cousin Of Stevenson's, to
bring back report of the intruders.
He failed to return, and so after a rca-
sonable interval another emissary, Wal
ter Simpson, was sent to bring news
of him. He, too, remained strangely
absent; the stage was now set for the
appearance of the King himself. Stew
enson himself went, and seeing through
the doorway Fanny Osbourne's face
framed in the lamplight, fell in love
with her at first sight.
There followed the period during
which. obscure and sick and poor, he
followed her back to America-the time
in which Fanny Osbourne won her di-
vorce and Stevenson the grudging con-
sent of his parents. When they were
married 1t was not expected that he
would live moro than few months.
She lived always alert for call to
arms to struggle with the enemy that
hovered over him. Their wanderings
through the South Seas and in wild re-

She was g pioneer in spirit, and rel

courage. Once the disabling of their
ship forced them to spend a good deal
OF time on remote island, and the
family complained Of the restricted ra-
tions Of fish and breadfruit which the
place afforded. Thereupon, from some
mysterious place in her kit she drew
forth a quantity Of seeds, and before
the repairing Of their ship was accom-
plished had vegetable garden growing.
She was notable housewife, and on
their Samoan island she was doctor and
nurse to all the natives.
There arc interesting sidelights on

with kings and popes and princes, there
is painted around 1t an amusing and
interesting picture OF tho motley life
OF Paris in tho reign Of the crafty
King Louis XI.
The hero is, in the immemorial fash
ion of such heroes, staggering, rolst-
er1ng, vain, generous fellow--a Roman
gentleman, who finds tho air Of Italv
unhealthy for him when he finds that
in defending his friend in street
brawl he has killed ono Of the noble
Orsinis. He travels on to Paris, and
there by the accident of q storm, which
forces noble French girl to take ref

himself in the center Of plot In which
are conjoined all the schemes by which
the English houses Of Lancaster and
York, the French houses of Valois,
Burgundy and Bourbon, the Italian
Orsinis and the cardinals of Rome
struggled for power.
The sinister and malignant Louis XII
dominates The book and makes very
satisfactory figure Of a villain. There
are hairbreadth escapes, fights in mar

and virtue rewarded-in fact, all the
long disused paraphernalia Of historical
romance, refurbished and set in mo-
