agony radiating over the damaged portion of his skull.

For perhaps two minutes he re- mained huddled on the ground. drinking in the stagnant night air in great sobbing .,::p. and half dazed with the pain in his head, and then he became aware that M'fani was bending down over him and saying something.

" -stay here,” he heard indis- tlnctly. "I am going to -'o a cer- tain thing - "

He looked up at her and nodded speechlessly, and as she straight- ened and set off swiftly down the slope again, he followed her with his eyes till her form was swallow- ed up in the darkness below. Then

Gradually his breathing became easier and the thudr"'ag of his heart slowed down to something like normal. The pa'n in his head subside-' by degrees, too. and pres- ently he found himself able to think coherently again.

. . .

It had been a terrific ordeal. coming on top of what he had al- ready undergone that night, and he found himself wondering ital! resentfully why M'fani had insist- ed upon this headlong flight. It was difficult to see the necessity for it, for it seemed to him that there had been no immediate dan- ger of pursuit. Yet what other purpose could she have had in mind?

She had set off transversely down the slope to the right, and he tried to think what she was doing down there alone in the darkness. She could not have gone for water,f-- he knew that no stream ran down into the valley, and save for boulders and an oc- casional ciump of pandanus, the hillside was absolutely bare.

And then the qt... .vns an- swered. '

With dramatic ....iess. the brooding silence was shattered by an extraordinary sound - n high-p tched. staccato reverbera- tion iich emanated from some- where below him and filled the airless night with its stridency. It was not continuous but consisted of a. series of rattling crescendos which sounded like nothing so much as the noise produced by drawing a stick sharply across a row of iron railings. With hardly a pause between each roll of dry cackling sound, this sudden incur- sion had a weird. unearthly effect which brought him to his feet Y with startled alacrlty.

After the first few seconds he recognized its origin clearly. it was not the first time he had heard the rattle of ironwood sticks on H. hal- lowed tree-trunk. but the realiza- tion that it was M'fani who was weilding the sticks and that the performance was obviously for the purpose of conveying a message

significance of this last came home to him, he plunged down the slope in the direction from which the drumming came.

Stumbling over the loose rocks and avoiding the larger boulders as they loomed up before him in the darkness, he scrambled down the steep slope as fast as he dared, with the regular crashing rattle

sounding ever louder in his ears. But even as he ran he realized that it was too late for him to do any- thing now; for whatever the sig- nal imported. the message had al- ready been received two miles away. and there was no way in which he could prevent its being acted upon.

As though to confirm this thought, there came another sound at that moment which brought him to a dead halt. It was the sharp crack of a distant shot - and it. was followed an instant later by three more reports in rapid suc- cession.

Soon four tiny trees shot up as if by magic. The glossy green leaves are beautiful. Even now they are strong and sturdy al- though they are less than six in- ches tall. One of them, a couple or weeks ago began to form a tiny white bloom. To-day it is Just about ready to open wide. Tiny as it is, the scent is heady and lovely -- orange blossoms on my window sill!

We stay out- doors until the very last moment and Ron says wistfully: "Seems I can hear soft feet padding across the yard. then I know I am only imagining it.

Never before has there been such (1 need for new homes ior Canadians! Never before has there been such on era of mechanization and modemiz- ing on Canada's forms! And never before has there been so much Ccmodion steel available to meet every need of home and form as Canada expands.

Sielco's S60,000,000 expansion pro- gram, completed in 1951-52, has given Canada the capacity to pro- duce 650,000 more ions of steel per year. You see how important this is when you consider that 7 tons of steel enter into ihe building and furnishing oi lhe average homo. Without steel, the modern form troo- ior and other labor-saving machines could not be built. And steel gives low-cost protection against weather and fire to the farmer's buildings.

Sieelmen oi Slelco are proud of their part in bringing about better homes and forms for Canadians. They know they are not just making steel . . . they are helping io build (1 bigger and more prosperous Canada.
