Excerpt from Lady Merton Colonist Towards the end of this story the readers of it will find an account of an unknown lake in the northern Rockies, together with a picture of its broad expanse, its glorious mountains, and of a white explorers' tent pitched beside it. Strictly speaking, Lake Elizabeth is a lake of dream. But it has an original on this real earth, which bears another and a real name, and was discovered two years ago by my friend Mrs. Schafi'er, of Phil adelphia, to whose enchanting narratives of travel and exploration in these untrodden regions I list ened with delight at Field, British Columbia, in June, 1908. She has given me leave to use her own photograph of the unknown lake, and some details from her record of it, for my own purposes and I can only hope that in the sum mers to come she may unlock yet other secrets, unravel yet other mysteries, in that noble unvis ited country which lies north and northeast of the Bow Valley and the Kicking Horse Pass.
