The sun was already at its zenith
when Captain John Hewitt—Commis-
sioner of Police—halted abruptly at a
spot where two jungle paths met—
and realized that he had lost his bear-
ings, It was precisely at that moment
that he began to regret that Penning-
ton had not offered to accompany
him. Pennington had an uncanny
knack of finding -his way through ter-
ritory tliat was absolutely unknown to
him. It was as if that extraordinary
freak of birth that had presented hint
with the eyes of an Oriental had ,gift-
ed him also .with' the mysterious in-
stincts. of the primeval savage. "
The track was imperceptibly grow -
sing wider and at intervals he felt the
rays of the sun that poured down on
him where the trees were set farther
apart. He glanced up suddenly, then,
white to the rooto of his hair, darted
behind the trunk of a jack -fruit tree,
flattening. himself against the bark.
He knew that he had taken the wrong
path for straight ahead of him: rose
a wallof rock, sheer and frowning.
At the foot of the rock nestled a broad,
squat hut, roofed with dried sago-
leaves. Sitting tranquilly at his ease,
his fat fingers interlaced over an enor-
mous paunch that even fever had not
succeeded in reducing to any appreci-
able extent, was Chai-Hung. He sat
alone, wrapped in a blanket aciiuired
in one-of'his numerous raids, his feet
crossed in front of him, his beck rest-
ing against one of'the poles that sup-
ported the building.
For a matter of seconds the Com-
missioner of 'Police stared in mute
fascination at this apparition. A pro-
longed scrutiny left no doubt in his
mind as to the accuracy of Penning -
ton's statement. Chai-Hung had been
ill. There, were dark rings under his
eyes, his cheeks had fallen in, and the
rolls of fat that hung from his jowl

He insists an active interest in the

From an Addfess by Hon. Vincent' Massey, 'Minister
'U.S., Speaking to the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce, March, 27, 1928
Within the short space of fifty years
the pioneering spirit inherent in
Canadians has resulted in the develop-
ment of resources until now Canada
ranks second in the worldinper capi-
ta wealth in value of mines, wheat
growing, factories, production of
paper and extent of railroads.
The prosperity of Canada is shown
by the fact that 82% of the country's
national debt is held within Canada,
yet since the Great War, Canadians
have invested $1,250,000,000• in other
countries. At the same time there
has been an increase of $600,000,000
in 'bank deposits, and the same
amount spent on automobiles.
-The northern sections of Canada,
far from being the Wilderness cora-•
monly- pictured, produce from mines,

After `days of drifting he landed at
the village of Cotter and hiked six-
teen miles over the mountain to King-
ston. When autumn came Rayburn
opened a school. Forty-four pupils,
with ages averaging a little more than
twenty years, answered roll call. The
pupils were orderly, intelligent and
very much in earnest. .The first two
years of school the teacher lived as
did the preacher, upon .the benevol-
ence of the countryside.
After talking the situation over the
parson and the schoolmaster called a
countryside mass' meeting and dis-
cussed plans for a community build-
ing -schoolhouse; church, bookroom,
meeting house, all in one. The hill
people were hard to convert to the
idea, but these two leaders, not to be
outdone, chucked off timid coats and
started digging the foundation.
That was five years ago. Just re-
cently the community building, a
thing of permanence and beauty, was
finished. After Botcher and Rayburn
undertook the job they got together a
few carpenter's tools and called for
voluntary labor. Siowlythe hill folks'
began to respond. A sawmill that had
been discarded was rigged up and
pine, oak, wild cherry, el mond sassa-
fras were brought from the neighbor-
ing hillside and' sawed for the build-
ing of the big house. Merchants in
neighboring towns contributed nails
and window glass.

awarded to the two who show the
greatest progress during the course of
the four weeks that they will be here.
One of the medals is the gift of the
Department of Foreign Affairs, while
the other has been given by the Que-
hec Department of Public Instruction.
The teachers have arrived in Que-
bec fur their course at the Sillery Con-
vent, and were officially welcomed by
Hon. Cyrille Delage, superintendent
of public instruction for the province.
There were 50 assembled in the con-'
vent when Mr. Delage arrived with F.
C. A. Jeanneret, of Toronto, to whom
he handed the medals, to remain in
his custody until after the four weeks'
course is _compl eted.
Mr. Peanneter stated that the gift
of the medals would further help
cement the good relations existing be-
tween the two provinces, and would
be an additional symbol of the bonne
entente between the people of Quebec
anti Ontario.
