'Travelling in Europe for about ten dollars a day, putting overseas travel on a par with a normal holiday at home, is made possible for the American tourist by the happy combination of Tourist Third Cabin Class on the magnificent Atlantic fleet of the Canadian Pacific Steamships and the tours arranged In the old world by the Arts Crafts Guild of Chicago, it is shown by the figures released by these companies. The creation of this new class of ocean travel on Canadian Pacific vessels has made travel possible for many thousands who have been unable to consider fulfilling their hopes, and during the past few years it has become fully established in popularity. The •conomy effected by this class of ocean passage makes B comprehensive European tour possible for every traveller, who during the Atlantic voyage enjoys surroundings and comforts equal to those until re-cently associated only with first class accommodation. Staterooms are above the water line, each with hot and cold running water, and the public rooms--card rooms, drawing rooms, smoking rooms, dining jaloons,--are commodious and tastefully furnished. Orchestras are carried for special entertainments and dancing. Those take place on the broad promenade Itineraries ranging from thirty-two to seventy- three days in extent, including the ocean passage, are possible for the traveller under the Continental Collegiate Tours organized by the Arts Crafts Guild of Chicago. The charm of these tours is realized right from the start, for during the thousand mile journey down the-mighty St. Lawrence and through the Gulf the boats pass scenery rivalling that of any river trip in the old world for beauty and pictur-esqueness. Once overseas there is nothing of importance or interest missed by the tours of the Guild. In England they include the Shakespeare country and London; in the "Low Countries," the best of Belgium and Holland; in Germany, the Rhine and' her great centres; in France, Paris--of course--and the ;ovc:y Riviera with Monte Carlo in its midst; in Switz r-land, the Alps; to the south the cities of sunny 1: and romantic Spain; and to the north, in tl of the Midnight Sun", Norway and Sweden.

Hidden Treasure of Bon Echo While the very atmosphere of Bon Echo, on? of the most popular summer resorts in the Highlands of Ontario, breathes of romance in many ways, there is nothing to tell of the desperation with which sought to wrest a secret hoard of silver from the great rocky walls that rise like ramparts from the s of the upper and lower Mazinaw. There is a host of legends about the lost fortune of silver but the story that is most generally accepted is that it was bullion brought out of the district by the Indians and used in exchange for blankets, axes, whiskey and firearms and that they had stored much silver in a cave in the cliffs. The story goes that one John Myers, who kept a store at Myersville, often exchanged goods for the Indians' silver, but could never discover where the cache actually was. Hts son, however, was brought up' with the Ind.ans and, supplying them with whiskey, induced them to take him to the spot. The three of them went up the Moira River from Myersville to Loon Lake and across country to Bon Echo. Somewhere on top of the cliff they came upon two flat stones. By forcing these stones in opposite directions they discovered an opening about twelve inches in diameter, through which Myers forced himself. What the flame from his pine-pitch torch disclosed is doubtful, but there was silver in some form, so it is told, and immense quantities of it. Filling his pockets and a small bag with the treasure, the adventurer made mental note of the location and commenced the return journey. The lake was rough and the remains of the whiskey were lost. The two Indians, sobered by their wetting, became sorry for this action and fearful of the vengeance of their tribe. In an attempt to dispose of Myers, they upset the canoe and lost their own lives, while the survivor made a painful way bark alone to Myersville, when he soon succumbed to pneumonia. Myers left a map and description of th. location, and it is his map which up till quite substance on the supposed treasure of Bon Echo. In 1860, George Merrill, grandfather of the present operator of Bon Echo Inn, Merrill Dennison, well known writer, and one John Bull, were among the first to make an attempt to wrest the secret from the Reck. Coming to the foot of the cliff which marks the jointure of the upper and lower Mazini w Lakes, Bull took the south-rn face, while Merrill worked in the opposite direction, and is said to be the only man to ever see the cave again. Fearing however, that as Bull had once killed a man, his life would not be safe if his secret were known, he kept it to himself, and later the two men left, one discouraged and the other hoping to return again. He did return, but the great forest fires had so changed the topography of the top of the rock, that he was unable to locate the silver for a second time. Later, a man named Van Asselstein becoming possessed of the map, mortgaged two excellent farms on the Kingston Road, and spent fourteen years prospecting on the rock to no avail. Then in 1911, two partners, Sills and Scott, were told by a spiritualist, the famous Anna Eva Fay, that they would find a hatchet dropped near the spot by John Myers. They spent over two thousand dollars (all they po'se-scd) in the search, and sure ertough found a rusty axe-head with the .initials J. M. stamped upon it, but they found nothing else. Bon Echo, with its ideal holidaying facilities, and its treasure romance, lies a short motor drive from the Canadian Pacific Railway Station, Kaladar, on the Montreal-Toronto line.
