For all his flying.experienee, Garth could not, as he had expected, strike a beeliire. Though he knew the gen- eral direction of'his find, he was un- able to guide the plane as the crow flies. At his sign to bank, Huxby frown- ed but brought the plane around in a wide curve. Very soon, up -river from the refueling station, Garth sighted the small swamp stream on which he :had begun and ended his trip . into the unknown, This was a familiar point of departure. From it he again directed the pilot to the westward. For quite a .while he flew blind, searching foe- the many signs along the canoe route that his trained mem- ory had registered as if on photogra- phic film. From above all the coun- try looked utterly strange. Twice he asked Huxby to dip and circle slowly. Though none too well pleased, the pilot slanted down to skim close over the spruce spires on the ridges. Two-thirds around the second wide spiral, Garth recognized a crag, on an islet in one of the small muskeg lakes. That gave him his bearing for a northerly turn in the route: Somewhat under an hour later,' the swamps and low ridges ended at .the upheave of an eastward -thrust moun- tain range. A near view of the bar- ren peaks caused Garth to twist the course about on a sharp angle to the southwest. Huxby's eyes darkened with suspicion as well as annoyance. He probably thought Garth Was _zig- zagging the course so to, confuse the pilot that he could not retrace it without guidance. Nothing' was further from Garth's thoughts. He gave no heed to Hux- by's black looks. Those mountains had not appeared- any too familiar. The difficulty of finding landmarks recognizable from the air had not lessened. For days on his trip in and out, he had travelled through dense forests of spruce that'shut off almost all wide views, even of the mountains. The westward rise of the country had by now forced the plane up an- other thousand feet. Higher slopes a- head called for still more altitude. Huxby pulled his goggles down over his eyes and lifted the nose of the plane. At an altitude of nearly four thousand feet, Garth sited a gleaming white point far westwards, over the brown crests of the nearer mountains. "The Selwyns," he shouted. Still more rise brought into view many snow -topped peaks of that northern main range of the Rockies. They gave Garth a general idea of his bearings. He had Huxby` bank several points to the right. Before long the nearer mountains began to loom tip like a gigantic. wall. They shutoffview all of thew Sol yes The jagged skyline reared a thous- and feet or more higher than the plane. Huxby started to climb. Un- til within a mile of the savage cliffs he ignored Garth's advice to lessen the angle. Then, as the plane swept past an outjutting peak on the right. Garth, signed towards the gap be- tween it and the main mass. The highest point of the pass was more than half a thousand feet low- er than the plane. Huxby pushed the stick forward and shot down for the gap on a long slant, The mono- plane soon drove in between the towering precipes and steeply pitch- ed side slopes of the immense cleft. The rock 'walls magnified the stac- cato roar ofthe motor,flinging it back in thunderous : reverberations. Through the deafening din pierced a siu'ill. cry. Garth. saw Huxby tiu,t to shout into the speaking tube from the. cabin. Miss Ramill must have been startled, if not terrified. Below his masking goggles, the lips of her fiance were carved in a reas- suring smile. As he spoke into the tube,tice swift -winging plane swept over the highest point in the pass. The gap crooked to the west. Its moderately downsloped bed was pac- ked with show. Huxby veered in close to the left cliff wall. He turn- ed his head to °peer at it through his goggles. Garth smiled. He )chew the mining engineer had noted how the schists were traversed by quartz veins and igneous dykes. A little more, and the groat cleft crooked again to the north. The plane banked around the turn. Be- low the bend the cleft widened in the neveof a glacier. Farther down the expanse of snow -ice pinched into, a narrow gulch. The gulch ran down into a deep mountain -rimmed valley. The huge amphitheater looked to be twelve or fifteen miles long and nearly as 'wide. ' The upper part of the gulch glint- ed and glittered dazzingdy in the sun, Bice an immense white diamond vein- ed with sapphire. Below this long tongue of glacier ice the gulch bot- tom was lined with broken rock, patched and banded with the emer- ald green of tundra .mosses and grasses. Down the rough bed tumb- led a stream of milky glacier water. To the right and all the way 'a- round east and' north, the mountain rim reared high in a jaggedly crested barrier o!rect ice . To the left a p p s slope of green tundra eased up to a broad bench or terrace, midway on the rise of the west -side mountains.' Garth' noted moving dots on the tundra and white specks up on the rocky slopes- above them , But Hex - by saw neither • the caribou nor the mountain sheep. ' He had at once spotted the ,lake in the valley bot- tom. `• The monoplane shot downwards like a swooping. eagle.

In the booklet these figures consti- tute a simple problem in arithmetic, but in real lite, they indicate that the Canadian National Institute for the Blind has found the means of making a livelihood for over two hundred blind Hien and women in this branch of its activity. These blind merchants and workers needed only the oppor tunity in order• to becomeself-sup- porting and self-respecting citizens. The:Instittite found the opportunity, or rather made ,tale opportunity, .for therewas no avenue through which these - willing and capable people could fit themselves into the commun- ity life until the Institute, with the support of the -public made 'their emancipation possible. It is also recorded that fifty-one blind men, employed in the Toronto factory, produced last year $147,966.- 97 147,966:97 worth of whisks, brooms, baskets, mops, brushes and furniture. This may not seem to be a tremendous in- dustrial achievement, and, in any other report, it would• mean little, but in the report of the Canadian Na-_ tional Institute for the, Blind, it means that half a hundred blind sten, many of whom 'did little or no work of any kind before the''Institute's far- Levies were established, worked stead- ily last year, in a modern factory, turning out high-quality goods; sup- porting their wives and. families; be- ing citizens and not encumbrances. It means that every week five hundred dozen brooms were produced by com- petent workmen, many of whom, with- out the opportunity provided for them by the Institute, would have been sen- tenced to lives of idleness and mis- ery. The great need for blind people is work, but there are other things be- sides toil necessary in the lives of blind people and on page 82 is shown a picture of a squad of sturdy men engaged in a tug-of-war.
