this tense storj’ of love and 
loyalty, treachery and intrigue, 
set against the background of 
the Great Woods. The reman- 
tic adventure of life itself 
stands out stark, clean, allur- 
ing; the tang of the pines is in 
its pages, the spume of the 
churning forest streams, ihe 
zest of keen forest air, the lure 
of danger. Illustrated. $1.75.

double as good as she herself 
is' wicked. There are stolen 
papers, a breathless chase 
across the Pacific from San 
Francisco to New York, and 
one thrilling incident after an- 
other, before the story reaches 
its astounding denouement.

By Sam Davis 
Everyone in the West knew 
Sam Davis and his story that 
is now put into book form for 
the first time has made for it-

HOW ANIMALS TALK 
By William J. Lon”, 
Do animals talk? Dr. William 
J. Long says they do, and his 
assertion is based on long and 
scientific observation. He be-

finity between them by show- 
ing us the real selves of the 
animals. Illustrated. ?3.oo. 
BILL SEWALL’S STORY OF T. R. 
By William Wingate Sewall 
With an introduction by Hermann Hagedorn 
Bill Sewell, the guide, who was 
Colonel Roosevelt’s friend for al- 
most a life-time, has made, in his 
own way, a record of this wonder- 
ful friendship. This quiet, simple 
man from the Maine woods saw an 
entirely different side of T. R. to 
that which he handed down to his- 
tory. IHu.'tratcd. Post Svo. Half

“Have you ever seen Cliff Lakes?” 
Bowers asked one morning. No, we had 
not seen Cliff Lakes nor had we ever 
heard of such lakes. “Well,” continued 
our genial host, “there is a place you 
don’t want to miss. There aint one per- 
son in a hundred who comes here who 
ever heard of Cliff Lakes, but I’ll tell 
you there aint anything to equal them 
in Yellowstone Park or anywhere else.” 
So we went to Cliff Lakes. A drive of 
eleven miles across the rolling hills on 
a road smooth as a boulevard, a short 
climb through a gently sloping canyon, 
a glide down a long dugway into a little 
valley, down which a beautiful' mountain 
stream went tumbling into the lake, and 
there we were. 
I shall not attempt to describe these 
lakes, nor can I give any explanation of 
the geology of them. They are inexpress- 
ibly wild; in places they are immeasur- 
ably deep; excepting at the point where 
we came in, they seem to be almost in- 
accessible. Quartzite cliffs rise sheer 
from the water’s edge hundreds of feet. 
The peaks of submerged mountains ap- 
pear here and there on the lakes making 
little cone shaped islands. The water 
is so clear that trout may be seen swim- 
ming about at a great depth. We were 
informed that soundings had been made 
to a depth of over nine hundred feet at 
one point and no bottom found. There 
are three lakes in this chain, the two 
lower ones smaller and shallower than 
the upper one, but deeper in the moun- 
tains and more densely wooded along 
their shores. An afternoon of rov/ing 
on this wonderful body of water, lunch 
on the gravelly beach of a little cove in 
the rocks, revelling in such beauties of 
nature as it is given few mortals to 
behold, the row back in the deep shadows 
of the towering cliffs, an hour's ride back 
to Bower’s Ranch and we had the mem- 
ory of a day which will stand out among 
all other days as the most wonderful — 
the greatest of all.

IN THE NEW ALLEN- 
WATER CO-UNTRY 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 590) 
I missed getting more than a goodbye 
shot and failed to score on a big buck 
wearing the finest antlers I ever saw, al- 
though he stood in an old trail less than 
fifty yards ahead and waved me adieu 
with his proud flag, as the guide, who, 
seeing his grey statue, was in the act of 
directing my attention; and then how the 
very next day another chance shot 
through a windfall filled my license when 
it dropped a fat little spike buck; about 
the almost daily catches of pickerel and 
jackfish, many of them large enough to 
deserve stories of their own; the feasts 
of boneless pickerel with hashed browned 
potatoes and moose and venison cooked 
every way known to sp:rtsman or Cana- 
dian guide; or I might undertake to de- 
scribe the thrill of the call of a cow 
moose a few rods up wind from me as 
I came plodding along under the weight 
of my little buck, over a portage on the 
last trip out with the last installm.ent of 
game and outfit; or about the evening I 
shot the brush wolf, when I had- tarried 
too long '’u’-in -■ the late afternoon play- 
ing hide-and-seek with a big bull moose 
and his consort, trying to photograph 
them, as usual, without success. Verily, 
each of these incidents alone would 
take a whole chapter; but this is a maga- 
zine story, not a book. It was a distinct 
prhnlege to be the first sportsman to 
hunt this small section of Ontario’s big 
"•ame paradise. You will be able to ap-
