Which of us remember that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is

a poet as well as a spiritualist, a master of the historical novel, and the arch-priest of the mystery story, in direct succession to Poe ? "The Old Grey Fox" -is sung wherever Raglish sportsmen gather : Sir Arthur wrote it. In his Collected Poems (Murray, 2s.) you will also find the Athabasca Trail, that sums up in ringing words what many of us have felt

about Canada.
