The Eastern terminal of thc hotel

chief hostelry of St. Andrews by the

of historic association which envel-
QPS the whole region niukes it an
ideal point for the location of a large
hotel. Doucet's Islnnd»three miles
above St. Andrews was the place
where Champlain landed three cen-

when he came from France with the
adventurous Siour des Monts. St.
Andrews was fortified against the fo-

settled in the village. Later St. An-

ancient means of defence of this bor-

arcade faces on Vigor square sud sup-
ports a shaded balcony which, with
its flowers and palms affords s. de-

CALEDONIA SPRINGS H0'rEL`.
At Caledonia Springs the C. P. R.

Star, was sick unto death and the
camp must move on and she he left
alone with the Great Spirit. But
Crow Wing, a young brave, who had
hoped to win Evening Star as his
squaw, bore her to a beautiful glade
which he had discovered the evening
before, surrounded by trees and in
the centre a spring of clear water.
Here he laid down his burden, and
gathering branches arranged acouch,
filling his rude drinking cup with
water from the spring which he
placed by her side, and then return-
,ed to the band.
When the first rosy streaks of
dawn appeared, he softly approached
the spot to gaze, as he feared, upon
the lifeless form of Evening Star.
Hastily parting the branches he bc-
held a great change. The delirium
