However in spin of the snow that

places drab-hued and white this morning. Only rarely, and for u brief duration have these been

completely blanketed this strange Winter. Sometime during the night, while Pard, that white dog of ours, kept watch about a sleep- ing place, and came forth from a warm corner in the shed at times to bark warningly I suspect, at a cat. or other furry prowler or may- hc at n late-passing sleigh or car on the roadway’, James awoke me with: "Listen to that, Ellen-it's raining now!

Legends . Of P. E. Island

GHOST KT THE WEDDING Tradition lays that Hunter River was named after Fred Pfuntcr, a young man who is lupposed to have died while serving his coun- try ln the War of 1812.

Before his enlistment Fred Hun- ter had fallen in love with Inez Trueman, whose father, George Trueman, lived at Lone Point, a short distance from vvhcre the vii- lagc of Hunter River now stands. Once a year a timber vessel from England brought to the isolated family such supplies as were need- ed, carrying on her home vo,\ age a valuable cargo of nine gleaned from ihe magnificent forests that sur- rounded Lcne Point.

On her latest trip to the island the Alert carried one passenger in the person of Jack Seymour. the son of a gentleman in Bristol.

At the Trueman home his visits became quite frequent and no more frequent than welcome. Father and daughter were charmed with young Seymoufs tales of far-away places. Inez was a beautiful young ivo- mzm of eighteen, a country blos- som unspoilcd and unndorncri, anrl before many weeks had gonebv thc newcomer became established in the place left vacant by Hunter. George Trueman liked the young fellow at first sight and therefore raised no objection when he ob- served how things were shaping up

between his only child and the Englishman. But the marriage could not take place till about Christmas, when a missionary
