imaginative force , he can not only make his characters speak and act as if they were men
and women , and not marionettes , but he is master of a style of rare charm and felicity .
His present story is aptly illustrated by Mr . F . Dadd . The same number contains what ought to
be entitled an interesting ' From Vancouver article by Dr to . Toronto W . G . Blaikie . ' The , writer travelled , eastward by the new Canadian
Pacific Railroad , and of course passed through a country of impressive and magnificent scenery and great resources . The
stylehowever , is at times *— ' a trifle obscure . Describing V , the chief town of Manitoba , Dr . Blaikie
says : ' There is Kildonan , so named from a Highland parish in Sutherlandshire famed for its cruel evictions in the early part of the
«/ J . century , where a new home , very unlike the old , was provided for its expatriated Celts . ' It is a pity that Dr . Blaikie missed the ' Lake
of the Woods , ' which lies between Winnipeg and Port Arthur . He would there see what is probably the most bewitching piece of scenery
on the American Continent . We do not quite know how Dr . Blaikie travelled if he passed through ' a prosperous agricultural region '
between Winnipeg and the western part on Lake Superior . That region must have changed
vastly within the past year or two .
