KERR, Pt,op Photo. by Miss Aon-Yesur, New York, AGNES C . LAUT A Successful Younis Canadian Novelist Of the ,Canadian novelists who have won reputation and recognition during the past few years, nearly half of the number have been women, and in this List the splendid work of Miss Agnes C. Lauf deserves high place. She was born in Winnipeg in 1872, and while in her junior year at the Mani toba University her health proved so delicate that she was ordered to pack up her 'school books and go out into the wild, free, regenerating life of the Solkirks, to see what these noble mountains of Canada could do for her. There, in a life-giving atmosphere, where every breath is a natural tonic, she rode and walked her Way to health, defying the decrees and propheoiee of her physieinne. She found in an Iodlan reservation 'oeated in the wilds of the mountains, material for ben firer boot; "Lords of the North," Miss Laut was the filet woman to lavado the mining camps of the Cana- dian Rockies and to study the lite there at close range. Her virile, graphic newspaper letters on this subject wr-to not signed, and editors of mining journals intowhose lanae try chanced tro come,praised the with enthus- iasm, and wondered why other Eastern writers did not picture mining life as it really was, like the matt whose articles were appearing in the "Winni- peg Free Press" and other paper's. To man in the rough, es itliss 7ant found him in these camps, uncon- taminated lag civilization, she pars L'gh tribute when she says: "There I learned to appreciate the r hivah•y rata courtesy of a class receiving small credit for such traits, and this, than^•h I was entirely alone, without one instance of aisrespeet or annml ore," On her travels for 'literary material Miss Laut has had many inte'e'tine; exnertences, among them an eight weeks' cruise in a government mailhnat along the coast northward from St. Johns. She made many later visits to the Selkirks, where the natural free- dom from the trammels of genial convention. appealed strongly to her. Beside her later books, "Heralds of Empire," "The Story of the Trapper" and the "Pathfinders of the West," Mins Laut bas written strong articles on polities and SOeinl gnertions; subjects rarely handled by women and still more rarely with the directness, Clearness and force which seem to per- meate with vitality everythiug she writes. Her contributions to the "New York Sun," the New York "Evening Post," the "Review of Reviews" and the "Century" Show a virility unusual from the pen of a woman so feminine and so unspoiled by success as Miss Lout.
