The wild days are almost over with; the frontier is lOsing ground everyday, iln the trading stores at Edmonton. the than-breeds sit, and smoke, and talk of ithe old days when the steamboats ran on the Saskatchewan. Men talk that way of the rotting wharves at Ports- mouth. of the ancient. faded glories of the Spanish main. When I heard this plaint, from the lips of a whimsical old trader, I 'gave up my hope of finding a frontier. I surrendered to the spirit of Jasper street, Prince Rupert, with its electric lights and its automobiles. I merely shook a listless head when a talkative young man put the age-old question, “What’s your line?” So he was here, too! Behind'a‘certain pros- aic waistcoat, a spark had flickered out.

FROM ENGINEER TO GRAND PIANO. fly way toward Hudson Bay. It was all very serene and very charming. At this moment it seemed, alter all, as it i mightbe pretty close to those unex- plored blank spaces. I should have lik- ed to let my thoughts float off doWn- stream through the mist to encounter the wild adventures of frontier times; _but even it they_ could have slipped safe- fin the living presence of clubs, and [banks, and churches, and automobiles. Before me was the mile-wide valley. cut out square and deep from the yellow .earth. The smoke from the lower town thickened by a. May mist. filled the val- ley to the brim, and in the moonlight it was luminous and faintly purple. Through this veil glistened the silver Saskatchewan, as it wound its leisure- of the latest thing in automobiles; of clubs. churches, and polo grounds. All this speaks of the life of to-day. But jostling by the prosperous merchant or the English “younger son" is the half- breed in Stetson hat and silk-embroider- : ed gauntlets, or the squuw with papoose bundled on her shoulders. The contrasti to one who has surrendered much of himself to the effete influence of our Atlantic States, is somewhat bewilder- ing. One evening I strolled to the brink of the bluff and tried to straighten it cut. Edmonton was the frontier; I knew that. But maps, with great “unexplor- ed" patches on them, are not so con- vincing as they might be when one is EDMONTON. Edmoton is the jumjing-Oif place for all Northwestern Canada, the place where town and wilderness strike hands. Here in Washington Square, the pros- perous litle city of the Upper Saskatche- wan seems even farther away than its accredited 2.500 miles. It is 800 miles west of Winnijeg, and it is some little way north of that fifty-third parallel. ‘v beyond which. if one is to believe Mr. ‘ Rex Beach. the laws of God and man don‘t work very well. If one were to |iattempt thesomewhat hazardous feat of :walking due east from Edmonton, it lwould be found necessary to swim the upper waters of Hudson Bay before fetching up the coast of Labrador. All this sounds very remote and inaccessible. It suggests rather the interior recesses of Greenland than the pastoral charms of an Iowa or an lllinois; and if carried away from New York, buttoned inside a prosaic waistcoat, what I took to he the emotions of the explorer, my ignor- ance was not, I prefer to think, unique.
