"At three we arise and break our fast, quite simply, with three or four dry prunes," breathed Larue, "and then, going forth to the high places for one hour, we hold steadfast the thought of Love."

Larue and M. Ernest Gagnon have given us a compilation of this interesting feature of French Canadian literature, which is hardly yet familiar to the English population of Canada. Other French Canadian names occur to the writer, but it is impossible to do justice to them in this necessarily limited review.

It was late on the following forenoon when the Pony Rider Boys descended on the Simms ranch, bag and baggage.
