"He doe.,n't like the role assign- ed to him," Eve observed. "He's quite unsuited to it." "That's nonsense, Eve." Medlicott said impatiently. "He is not asked to mislead anybody by as much as a word. He has only to be himself and tell the truth. Instead of that, h° hands out a string of yarns that wouldn't deceive a baby in arms. Ask him to be him>c:f, will you?'' Eve got no chance on that day; and at breakfast ne.xt morniu?:, when she picked up her newspaper, the "Re- cord Courier," she realised that Med- licr.tt's apprehension was only too we l-grounded. The first Ihinss that cauaht her eye were the headlines: â€" SHAREPUSHERS ACTIVE AGAIN BEWARE OF AN AUSTRALIAN DESERT GOLD MINE " 'Then you are not investing in his mine?' " 'Having made Inquiries from of- ficial sources, I was told that no such place as Dandong was known. It does not appear in the latest Australian gazeteer. That was enough tor me.' ''For the present, no further infor- mation is forthcoming about Dandong. It is the place wtiere the flying wom- bats nest end the young buyips are tamed; but is there any gold there- until more reliable Information is supplied by Mr. Milton Medlicott or Mr. Prescott it may be assumed that the gold is real as the mythical ani- ma's mentioned. There is much of that sort of gold â€" at the foot of the rainbow." Eve's first emotion after reading the article was one of furious anger at the injustice of it. But when she read it a second time, and more care- fully, anger gave place to a very deep apprehension. On the face of It, a very damning r.ttaek had been made upon D:;n and upon Metllicott; but how was it to be answered? S'le worried over that all the way to the office.

"From it we gather that a gold m'n^. rich as Kldor;'do. was disc -vor- ed in tho h'-ait of the Australian de- sert by two dis-ers.

"Medlicott, foliowing the custom of 'out.ide brokers,' employs a staff of per.niasive â- solicitors.' whose mission is to induce the public to sell their hc'.dinjcs in syund securities and to in vest the procoods in such wild vc'.- tur'"s as the Dandong Goid Mine.

Unfortunately for him, his host, with a view to testing him thoroughiy, had been at p-ins to ac- qui.e some accurate Information about certain sides of besh life in Australia. " 'He tix)k me for a preenhorn," our informant chuckled. "And I led him on from one tall story to another. by pretending to take it ail in.

In speaking as he did he undoubtedly pointed out the great weakness in the educational system of this prov- ince. It is, of coarse, impossible to impart the same quality of instruc- tion in isolated rural schools with poor equipment as is given in the towns and cities. Perhaps in some instances the people of those dis- tricts are themselves to blame be- cause of their desire to procure cheap teachers. Th's is unquestion- ably a very short-sighted policy, in- asmuch as the boys and girls in the couiAry, because of their meagre op- portunities, deser^'e to have the very best teachers that can be had. The remedy for this state of af- fairs !3 the establishment; of consol- idated schools.

The Royal Bank of Canada is issuing to its shareholders a s itciient that shows very substantial growth dur- ing the year. .\s a result, total assets have eri ssed the eight hundred million mark. Deposits have again duplicat ed the remarkable gain of the pre- vious year by increasing more than $.">0,Oo6.000. .\t the same time, hold- ings of high grade Government bonds have increased to $209,453,208, up from $150,708,385. Of special im- portance is. the tendency of current loans to move upward, as a result of the gains that have been evident in many lines of business. Shareholders will note with sa- t'sfaction the high esteem in whieii the Bank is held as reflected by an increase of more than a hundrel million in deposits over the last two year.^. Strong Liquid Tosition The general statement, which is for the year to November 30, shows total assets of $800,919,700, up from $758,423,904 in the previous year. Of this large total, liquid assets have reached $423,G73,88l, as com- pare<l with $382,172,287 and are equal to 58 ^ of total liabilities to year. Of this large total, liquid as- sets are cash on hand and deposits in other banks of $157,030,042. The outstanding change in liquid assets is an increase in the holdings of Government securities of $58,744,823. Commercial Loans Up Current loans of $328,821,4U;. against $326,782,534 at the end of tho previous year, show a moderate increase which is encouraging when it is taken into consideration tnat as against increased demands froi-i industry on account of improved business.
