Excerpt from The Old Loyalist: A Story of United Empire Loyalist Descendants in Canada An active life in the field of engineering and surveying has left but little time to devote to a work of fiction. Much pleasure, however, has been derived by the author, during several years, in gathering material here and there in stray moments, and weaving it into a story concerning his birthplace and the U. E. Loyalists from whom he sprung. All the characters - with one exception - are, of course, imaginary, as well as most of the incidents recorded concerning them. No story of Adolphustown could be written, covering the period in question, without reference to Sir John A. Macdonald, who as a lad attended the village school, and later in life frequently visited old friends in the locality. "The Old Loyalist" is a type of his people not alone in the Bay of Quinte district, but from the Maritime Provinces to Canada's western boundary, wherever the Loyalists chanced to settle. The good men and true are not by any means confined to those of Loyalist descent, as has been proven on more than one occasion in the history of Canada during the past century. It will be readily observed that many of the unreal incidents of the story cluster round certain well-known historical events in the lives of the Loyalists, as, for instance, the continuance of slavery, in a modified form, after they reached Canada.

' " Then the little girl took me by the hand and said, with earnest entreaty, 'Please sir, will you not come with me and speak to my dying mamma before she goes " There was something so pitiful in the words and voice that I became at once convinced there could be no deception in this case, so away I went with the little girl and climbed two pairs of rickety stairs amid dirt and filth and a smell that was almost unendurable. In another minute I was led into a clean, tidy room, and there on the bed sure enough, lay an emaciated creature in the last stages of consumption. She had been a goodlooking woman in her day, with large, black eyes and fine features, but alas, that terrible disease had done its work and she was now but a living skeleton. " ' Here, mamma, dear, is a kind gentleman I found on the street, who has come to see you before you go away to live with the angels, ' said the little maid, as she led me to the bedside, and placed her mother's hand in mine. "'Y0u are very kind, sir, ' the woman said, in a low, trembling voice, 'I have been praying that some one would come in before I die, and God has been kind enough to send you to me, in answer to my prayers.' " ' What can I do for you, madam?' I asked. ' You apparently are very sick and have not long to live in this world.' " ' Could you take this darling child of mine, sir, and care for her as your own, or else find her a good home after. I'm gone, where she will be free from the snares and temptations of this awful place?' "I thought for a few moments of the situation, ...

"It was a dangerous time to be loyal to the Crown. The divisive war had pitted neighbour against neighbour and father against son." This book will be especially fascinating for all readers interested in: history, biography, and life as a Loyalist in the Maritimes. The life of young Christiana Margaret Davis, a Loyalist born in upstate New York, was turned upside down by the American Revolution. A time of struggle and strife, she escaped with her family to Nova Scotia, finally landing on Brier Island in 1789. Her remarkable story sheds new light on the plight of Loyalists.
