Price, postpaid, $1.00. Beautifully Printed-Handsomely Bound AN amusing and helpful sketch of sanatorium life, garnered from a four years' experience and close contact in institutions for the treatment of tuberculosis. An attempt is made to show the physical benefits that may be derived under the proper regime of regulated life, and the mental stimulus and fresh outlook on life that come with the increase of bodily vigor, and with the freedom from physical and mental overwork. The story is principally in the form of letters written by a girl to her fiance after she has been found to be tuberculous, and cover a period of one year. The letters combine the humor and pathos which are to be found in any such institution, and incidentally convey to the reader a considerable amount of reliable and helpful information respecting the proper treatment of tuberculosis. order from Journal of the Outdoor Life, 381 Fourth Avenue, New York When dealing with Advertisers please mention JOURNAL OF THE OUTDOOR LIFE BOUND TOGETHER IN DANGER AND CONQUEST, these explorers proceed, every one of them being conscious that a weak link may destroy the entire chain and that life and joy for himself and for his companions depends entirely upon his individual wisdom, insight, courage and strength.

The illustrations are from photographs taken by the author. The editor has requested her not to write about tuberculosis, but to write about her experiences among the Alps. In this connection she says in a letter to the editor: "I did not like to write about tuberculosis, for on this subject only scientific articles are of real usefulness to the patient. I have rather tried to entice the writer in following the sunny paths of health through the charms of beauty." Two additional articles entitled, "The Joys of the Wayfarer," and "The Tales of a Bride," by the same author, will be published in succeeding numbers of the JOURNAL, THE PASSING OF By EVA LUCILIA, MOUNT MCGREGOR, N. Y. Toward the beginning of May, the slow train which, accompanied by the silvery voice of the Dora River and guarded by two picturesque chains of mountains, goes from Turin to Aosta, carried a party of Americans, among them a young lady who bore a letter from a prominent member of the Alpine Club to John Macuaz, the most renowned guide of the city of Aosta. But unfortunately, when the young lady reached Aosta and the house of the guide, she learned that, in the last excursion of John Macuaz, a stone had fallen from a rock upon his head, and, wounding him severely, had rendered him blind. She learned also that the guide had a young brother, who, although unable yet to take her and her friends to great heights, could lead them up the mountain sides, which were just awakening from winter slumber and bedecking themselves for the season of brides. The clean, honest face of Julius Macuaz appealed to the strangers, who accepted his services. Their excursions started almost immediately, and while Julius led them on the mountains, John, the dauntless guide, alone in the yard of his modest home, basked in the sun, and feeling the breath of spring in the air, was tortured by the yearning of the blinded eagle that nevermore shall behold the sweet smile of dawn, the countenance of the mountains, the colors of the numberless alpine flowers, the whiteness of the snow and the enchanting blue of a matchless sky. In his darkness, he tried to revive through his memory all those blessings, which had made him so humble in face of Nature and which, at the same time, had made him feel almost superhuman when he had climbed untrodden mountains and stood upon the summits of peaks never before conquered by man. At night, when Julius returned from the day's excursion, John would inquire about all the events of the day, and especially, with a passionate and almost desperate tenderness, about the mountains, the valleys, the sun, the sky, the clouds, the flowers; and his brother, who loved him and respected his sorrow, with eyes shining for tears not shed and with a soft, dreamy voice, would describe to him, as if revelations to both, the wonders that spring, once more, had brought to men. So every evening brought the two brothers back to the early morning, and the purest light of dawn shone, once more, through the magic of words, in the double darkness of night and blindness. "We crossed, in the very early morning, the Dora, which was clear and wide and as musical as if innumerable tender voices were singing under the little billows, or as if a mul |
