W. L. Smith, in his | interesting book "The Pioneers of Ol Ontario," has some stories of | the early settlers at "Cadanorshqua" as the Indian name was at first spel- led. The founder of the little town on the shore of the St. Lawrence with its wonderful view of the pret- tiest part of the Thousand Island scenery, was Capt. Joel Stone, who, | his fine estate being plundered, only saved his life by flying from the | revolutionary army to New York. On land and sea he fought for King | George until the end of the war, {VheR hie went to England where he | remained until 1786. He then sailed | for Canada with a pension of foriy | { pounds a year and the rank of Cap- | | tain. | birch bark canoe with an | guide to choose a site for a home Sn | the shores of the St. Lawrence riv- Indian | | er. | The beautiful entrance of the Ga- nanoque River into the main stream | attracted him and he determined to {ask for the grant of land that was ! | promised to him, on each side of this | 1 little river. But when he applied | for it he found that Sir John John- | son had been before him. The aim. | culty was settled however, by Sir John receiving the land on the west side and Capt. Stone 700 acres on the eastern bank of the stream. In the summer of 1731 Capt. Stone took possession.of the land, landing from his canoe at a point just west of the railway station. The only white man in the neighborhood was a Frenchman named Care, who, with a few Indians, lived on Tidd's Is- land, now Tremont Park, where to- day pretty cottages are the homes of summer idlers. Stone amd Care built a shanty on the point at the foot of Water street, then a dense woods, and kept a house of enter- tainment for the travellers on the 'river, the only route from Montreal to Kingston, the military station to the west. Capt. Stone went to work with a will that gathered people to the centre he soon made of the set- tlement. He built a house opposite the present site of the hotel, a grist mill and a saw mill, and was so en- terprising that in two years after his arrival, he built a fine schooner, the Leeds Trader, in use for many years on the river and lake, Colonel Stone, as 'he was called when he took charge of the military defences of Gananoque in 1812, mar- ried the widow of Abraham Dayton, of Burford county near Brantford, whose fame as a notabld housewife and a woman of strength of charac- ter was such that Col. Stone, on hear- ing of her husband's death, wrote to her, proposing marriage and saying he would wait a year and a day for her. Perhaps his own fame as a leader had gone forth, for the lady was kind and the wedding took place within a year. Col. and Mrs. Stone adopted the fomer's grand- daughter, the child of her daughter by marriage with Mr. Dayton, Henn- rietta Maria Mallory, who married John McDonald one of the McDonald brothers whose history 1s interwoven With the life of the riverside town. And here we come to members of the family well known in Kiagston, for the children of Mr. and Mrs. John McDonald were the late Herbert Stone McDonald, K.C., Brockville, chancellor of the diocese of Ontario for many years, and the late Mrs. John Mowat, who married Prof. Mo- wat of Queen's University, whose daughters Miss Lillian and Miss Ethelwyn Mowat ere among King- ston's foremost women. During the war of 1812 the American forces un- der Major Forsythe, landed at Gan- anoque where Colonel Stone was in command and met with such spirited opposition' that Forsythe determined to it possible capture the leader, and for this purpose attacked his house, but the colonel was mot there and his valiant wite baving put the money, which was in gold, and a con- cif i Eighel In 1787 he left Montreal in a i to] FROCKS FOR SWEET SIXTEEN Simple Lines Are Favored For All the New Dresses of the September Girl 4, clever designer who specializes in frocks for the girl from four years to sixteen has made these two frocks for the girl of sweet sixteen. They may be worn by Miss Fourteen, too, she says. The frock for daytime achieves an extremely interesting contrast in its use of dark blue linen with dimity. The linen is not navy blue, but a blue several shades lighter, almost bordering om Copenhagen. This shade goes particularly well with the red flowers that besprinkle the white dimity background. The bodice is sleeveless, but has a shoulder seam, : longer than usual, that simulates a tiny kimono sleeve. pe iN CANADA vad A 4 La Hawthorns" after the ceremony.
