that only one story was Published. I remember distinctly of reading s. Travel Bureau story of pioneer life In the Belfast district by a young lady (I forget her name), from there, which was good. Ruth Bag- nall's story was enthralling with delicate situations handled in fitting and modest language. It has a pathos throughout which can be vis- ualized and appreciated by all read- ers-especially those who have seen migrations oi families, or plunger life in general. Mr. McKenns/s story was of the "Truth is stranger than fiction" order-something like Ripley's “Believe it or not" stories and caricatures.

The Travel Bureau story contest supplies a long felt want in the community of our tight little Lland. '.l'here might be more putative L. M. Mfllli-Bomeflfs a us, and per- hops she has done more to adver- tise P. E. Island than any one other irlerson, if you'll pardon the digres- s on. ‘

Those contests will stimulate ef- fort in writing and literary "vork. Whoever received the inspiration, and acted on it, started something “better than they knew"-espenially at the present time, when a great number oi our people have access to the Barnegie Library branches re- cently established-one of the great- est blessings ever bestowed On this Province. thanks to the beneficeuce

story-or since, Van‘ Winkle’; ob- servations to the contrarynotwith- standing. . _

I will sign my ‘little monicker l0 this “ ' I believe with Premier Macmillan that anonymous etters are an abomination (or words to that effect), and his code o; ethics is worthy oi’ emulation. Many peo- ple whocould write well are ltoo

modest and unassuming to try to

"crash" the public press. Others hide behind a "norn de guerre" (principally ‘Guerre') and stab in the back. A person's sense 0i fair play should stay his or her nand. It. certainly doesiftlook right that one should have the audacity to use the first personal pronoun-the big “I", forty or fifty times in a communication to the press and sign a pen name which means noth- ing. Many great writers have used a. pen name, but they didn't become “great” by writing disparaging let- ters and speaking scurrilo-sly‘ oi others. We should try to get away from provincialism in the figurative sense of the word, and become more cosmopolitan. It may be observed that communications to the big city papers of the United States and Canada are all signed by the writers. Evidently the fiat ‘Thou shalt sign thy name" has gone out. I am, Sir, etc, _

JAMES PENDEIIGAST-

P. S.—Have Just read Mr. McKen- na's story over again and am more delighted with it than at first read- ing. In my humble opinion he has a wonderful aptitude for story writ- ing, There is poetry in it which will strike vibrant chords in all lov- ers of nature. It is redolent oi the customs and conditions of pioneer

days without being efluslvo or p:

dantic. Don't know what order of prize it took, if any, but it reads es if it merits one 01 the best.

Can't

understand one being so perverse and reactionary as to cast aspersioxis on a. story of that calibre. Young story writers shouldn't be discourag- ed by the guffaws of chronic KDOCK- ers and "killjoys"—Many friends and admirers are about though no word of praise be spokenql. P.

of the great Scottish philanthropist and "the sense of the benefit of men- tal improvement of our present Premier.

Let us now turn our attentions to the allegations o; Van Winkle in relation to the logic of Mr. ‘McKen- na's story and (figuratively) en- deavour to punch the “allegator. ' He wields a facile pen, indulges in fine rhetoric and satire, and rmbellishes his thoughts in grandiose language. l-Ie embodies in his opus the attribu- tes of three well-known biblical characters. He starts with the wail- ings of a Jeremiah, carries on with the doubtings of a Thomas, and (unwillingly) indulges in the weak- ness of Aiianias. His hypothesis about the hollow tree not being large enough to house a. bear, and also that it' may have belonged to the pre-glacial period, is untenable. It is generallyeonceded that at the be- ginning of the ice age. all living things in the animal and plant king- dom were froven and smothered un- der by loose earth, gravel and rock by glacial action. I have personally seen the result of glacial action in the Circle City district of Alaska. It is questionable if any of this Island was above water ut the time oi the glacial period, unless it might be the hilly section of about ten miles in length in the centre, for instance, from Bradalbane to New Glasgow in “bee" line. .

In reference to the size oi the hollow tree, etc., there are numerous hollow tree stumps and standing trees yet on P. E. Island large enough to hold a bear and cubs. A bear has a comparatively attenuated body. Its fur makes it look large. The bear "craw fished" into the tree because it was inconvenient or im- possible to turn around in orderto get out. The cubs are yet quip small when they are sent out to rustle for themselves.

Van Winkle indulged i; a‘. biolo- gical platituds in reference to the cohabitation of bears, but he didn't say anything about the possibility of father bear being away from the den. is it not s. fact that the male bear is driven away from the den by the female before or as soon as hgr young are born? Bears are susceptible to fright the same as any of the lower annuals-wild or do- mestic. A fire. lighted quickly, will drive oi! a pack of wolves. Most 0! the wild animals when met by a

‘him at the dance at the Consolid- ated School at Mt. Herbert. The witness spoke to him briefly. l-ie appeared to have been drinking some. About ll o'clock he slept for a short time, about 15 minutes, and after that appeared to have been in good condition. The wit- ness saw him dancing several dances after that. but did not know whether he had danced the lest one. ‘The dance ended about 12.30. Witness did not see Iieavitt leaving the dance hall. The shortest way back to the shack would be across the railway track through the marsh. . Constable Spurgeon Jenkins of the R. C. M. P. was the next wit- ness. He had investigated the dis- appearance of Leavitt last fall. He described the track across Fuller- ton’s Marsh. The main channel is bridged by a trestle bridge about fifteen feet long. 0n the north side of the bridge the water is at least seven feet deep at low tide. Between the end of the ties and the edge of the bridge there is a space of about two and a half feet. There is a lot of broken rook from the end 0f the ties to the edge of ‘he bridge. A person walking along dhe railway track would have a cin- der path until he came to the rocks. He might easily stumble over the edge of the bridge. It was clear the morning of November 14 until about 1 a. m: Between that and daylight there was a nasty storm. There was no moon that nlghtfrhe body was found about 75 from the track and 250 or 300 yards from the bridge and on the north side of the bridge. The water on the smith side of the bridge is not deep, only aboui. is niches. Sergeant Joseph Trcinor of the B. C. M. P. told of going to Fullerton! Marsh Tuesday and removing the
