The story begins: If you ask me, there�������s nothing like riding across the open prairie for quickening a fellow�������s eyesight, remarked the Honorable Percy Rapson, breaking a long spell of silence. There�������s so little to be seen, anyhow, except the grass and the flowers, that he�������s bound to catch sight of anything unusual. Sergeant Silk smiled at his companion�������s boyish enthusiasm for the open-air life of the plains. Percy had been sent out to Western Canada to learn farming, but there was no doubt that he was learning a lot that had no direct connection with agriculture. Owing largely to his friendship with Sergeant Silk, of the North-West Mounted Police, he was learning to be manly and self-reliant and he was beginning to know so much scoutcraft that his remark concerning the quickening of his powers of observation was quite justified.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
