MITCHELL BANDIT HAS
PRISON RECORD.
Ami J. Lamontagne, alleged to be
the central figure in the thrilling hold-
up and shooting at Mitchell some
weeks ago, has a police record which
dates back to 1922. His record' was re-
ceived from the .Canadian Northwest
Mounted Police !Department at Ot-
tawa, after finger prints had been sub-
mitted. In 1922 in Bowmanville the
accused was convicted of breaking

THROUGH THE WEST INDIES.
The "lady" steamers on which these
trips are taken are immensely popular
with tourists and throughout the
'West Indies. They are twin screw
steamers with a displacement of 12,-
000 tons, and are beautifully appointed.
One frequently hears that there are
bigger steamers but there are none
better and this contention seems true
I have never seen elsewhere such
large cabins, which are the size of a
large bedroom, with two beds, not
berths, with bathroom attached, two
arta chairs, wardrobe and chiffoniers;
the rooms are lighted by electricity
and an electric fan is stationed on the
wall. The staterooms arse about the

About thirty-six hours sail from Hall -
fax and we enter the Gulf Stream
when the eridence becomes apparent
that the cold weather has been left
behind and weare fast approaching
isles of eternal sunshine. Our first port
of call is Hamilton, Berniuda, and
Bermuda is a veritable dream. As one
walks about the grounds of the targe,
hotels, looks at theflowers, at the
semi -tropical vegetation, the tourists
who are enjoying, life, the expression
spontaneously comes to him, "so this
is Venice," In the business section are
stores stocked with goods of the high-
est quality, probably just as excellent
as can be found in the most exclusive
stores in Toronto or Montreal. These
stores are catering to the wealthy Am-
erican tourists of whom there are very
many. Automobiles are not allowed
on the island and although this seems
at first strange yet the wisdom of the
law is apparent. Although only semi-
tropical the vegetation in Bermuda is
beautiful and when this is added to the
ideal winter climate- it is certainly a
place to attract tourists- One day
south of Bermuda an incident occur-
red which illustrates the humanity of
the high seas. There was a very sick
man on board an oil tanker about 150
miles off our course so a wireless •mes-
sage informed us, and as the steamer
on which we were sailing was the
nearest to the tanker it was up to our
steamer to go to therelief. This meant
a journey of one hundred miles out of
aur course while the tanker made up
the other fifty. We met during the
night, the sea was perfectly calm, the
transfer was made without the slight-
est trouble and when the transfer was
being made all the conversation that
took place was like this: "Thank you,
Captain, for your trouble." "You are
welcome." It is the law of the high
seas to speed relief and the way it is
carried out gets its grip on you.
St. Lucia, To me St. ,Lucia stands
out as the most beautiful gem of all,
and this is saying a goad deal. 'Charles
Kingsley wrote, "Among all these Is-
lands St. Lucia is, I think, the most
beautiful—what a land, what a cli-
mate; and all lying well nigh as it has
been since the making of the" world
waiting for man to come and take
possession." 11 is not with St. Lucia's
past history I ,want to deal, although
this Is .interesting because here Rod-
ney watched the French fleet, seized
the hour, sailed and defeated De Gras
and saved the empire. Seven times
this Island was held by the 'English,
and seven times, by. the French and for.
150 years it was the scene of the most
deadly strife: I will never forget the
drive to the Eleventh mile post over
the mountains which rise to a height
of 1200 feet, through tropical vegeta-
tion, the cabbage 'palms,'the cocoanut
palm's, royal palms, 'ferns, through
cane fields—cocoa and banana' planta-
tions -looking at one moment at deep
gorges luxurious in vegetation, and
then getting a glimpse of the sea in
the distance At Castries, the town,
that day, it was hot but driving along
this mountain it reminded me of a
Canadian September day. 1 as told
the difference in temperature was 10,
degrees.
Trinidad is the most important col-
ony on the route and has a population
Of 362,000 and its capital, Port Said is
a most important city, having a popu-
lation of 62,000. Here are trans cars,
splendid and well stocked stores, the
very best. residential sections and
those living here enjoy all the com-
forts of ,modern life, The roads on
the island are excellent, there is also
a Inciof railway. The most import-
ant object of interest in Trinidad is
Pitch Lake where practically pure as-
phalt is obtained and Shipped all over
the ,world. The only thing wrong
about Trinidad is the heat, for the
Port of Spain is on the wrong side of
the Island to get the benefit of the
Trade Winds and these Trade Winds
make life not only tolerable but en-
joyable in the tropics

Nita was worried ... she could not imagine where she had
lost her bracelet—in the hotel or on the journey home.
"1 can't think what 1 could have done with it," she kept
telling her mother. p
"Why not telephon; to the hotel," mother suggested. "It's
after eight -thirty now and a call will only cost a few
cents."
Imae:n T :t ', 1 t w.!;;;„ the :.otei clerk told her that the.
bracelet had been found in her roomand would be mailed
to her right away.
Thanks to her mother's suggestion, Nita's anxiety was re-
Iie'ved at once,.. and the cost of the call was considerably
less than her taxi fare from the station,
