This adds greatly to the rigidity of the cabinet, and the heavy angle frame and general construction gives this cabinet exceptional strength, yet above all, these cabinets are not heavy; in fact, they afford maximum strength with minimum weight. Like CARY SAFES, these cabinets have uniform strength throughout. The doors are as strong as the walls, and the lock is protected by a hardened steel plate to prevent drilling, and is automatic in its resistance to thieves.

THE END OF A PERFECT JAY. The Isle aux Noix is replete with historic associations. Lying in the Richelieu river (which was known successively in past years as the Iro- (”ml"- "iver. the St. Louis, and the Sorell), ten miles from the line be- tween Canada and the United States containing about 85 acres of sur- face and quite commanding the rlver, this island has much to in- terest the student and thrill the patriot. Champlain, in 1609, was probably thes first white man to set foot unon it. It was impossible to miss its strategic value. AFTER having lain in neglected obscurity for upwards of sixty years, visited only by occasional tourists along the historic Richelieu the Canadian Government has hand ed the care of Isle aux Noix over to the National Parks Commission to be preserved as an historic relic of by-gone days. Insa lecture on "His, tory in the Making along the Richer lieu," delivered before the St. James Literary Society of Montreal. in November, 1920, the Rev. A. H. Moore, of St. Johns, Que; urged the desirability of such a step. This influential society at once made a request to the Government to that effect. the Hon. Senator G. G. Fost- er, E.C., ably seconded their request and the result is as stated above. He CD9 Bourlemaque) erected such a number of works as to render it. by all accounts. imoreenable. and During the French regime it was an outpost of the colony. English raiders. like Rogers and Schuvler had to make a detour past its vigilant sentries. Isle aux Noix was on guard! It sprang into oromi» nence in 1759 when it received De Bourlemaatoe's force of 2.000 men. retiring before Amherst's superior forces around Lake Champlain. In 1860 Amherst wrote of this olaeer--, THE RE-DISCOVERY OF ISLE AUX NOIX E. T.

With Soon The Imperial Government was now fully aware of the importance of Isle aux Noix, as commanding the great waterway from Lake Champlain into Canada, and the present "Fort Lennox," standing on the southern end of the island. was projected in 1819 and built in 1823 Upon the quadrangular works of the old French Fort immense ram parts were raised, a moat surround- ed the Fort, the entrance was com- manded by a drawbridge, an, massxve cut stone buildings of imposing de. sign provided quarters for the troops, and their offieers. These beautiful buildings stand in statelv splendor to-day shaded by massive elms and spreading butternut: "hat could tell the history of a century. eyeryone agrees who has taken a View of them, that the Isle aux Noix. had it been attacked would have been the Churchyard of the British Army." Haviland eneamped near the Isle aux Noix on August 16th, 1860. Bougainville commanded the French garrison, and when he saw the island so thoroughly invested he made a successful retreat down the river during the night of August 25th, leaving a few men to engage the attention of the English attack, ers. They took possession shortly afterwards, and the fall of Isle aux Noix opened up the way into French Canada. The fight for Canada Drae- tically ended at this strategic Point The Isle aux Noix did not figure much in the war of 1775-76. Mont.. gomery and Schuyler held it. and when Arnold led his broken army back from his failure at Quebec he stayed here for a time. Fever broke out and wrought havoc among his men, many of whom lie. in its neglected cemeteries?. The American effort failed, earth endow.

The Isle aux Noix shared with St. Johns the activity in preparation which en- abled Sir Guy Carleton to muster a naval force in 1776 and wipe out the American fleet in the naval battle of Ticonderoga. In the fight at Lacolle Mill, on March JOth, 1814, material assistance was given to the defenders of the Mill by two sloots and two gun-boats that came from Isle aux Noix. From the naval yards L that place were launched gun- boats carrying as many as thirty guns. As the visitor to Isle aux Noix stands on one of the bastions that command a view of the majestic river and looks through the trees across the spacious parade grounds within the Fort, he can imagine he hears once again the call of the bugle, he can see offieers and men issuing from their quarters in the resplendent uniforms of the olden days, he can hear the sharp word of command. he can see the children playing on the common across the moat. and all the while the vigilant eye of the imaginary sentry at his side scans the river's course as he guards his fortress home. But the day of these things has long passed away. In 1859 the Imperial troops were withdrawn; since then the hand of time. and other less honest Hands have been husv immlverishinq this treasured spot of its evidenreg of past activity Let us hope that nder the care of the National Parks Commission nothing will be left un- done to preserve this outpost of Empire in former davs. Easy of access from St. Jnhns Quebec rhe Isle aux Noix is well worth a Visit.
