Nearly 6000 of these poor sufferers have been cared for in our Consumptive Homes in Muskoka and near Weston. To-day we have 300 patients under treat- ment--patients who, if they had the money, could not through fear of contagion gain admittance into other hospitals, . in the Muskoka Free Hospital alone we are now caring for 150 patients. 128 of these cannot pay a single cent for the cost of their maintenance, 15 pay per day, 1 pays 57c. per day, 12 pay 50c. or less per day, Our Trustees, having faith in the generous-hearted peaple of Canada, have continued to carry on this work during the past year. - « Money to. pay doctors, food, nursing and caring of these sick ones, is urgently needed.

A conspiracy agatnst the safety of a ship, a beautiful girl in dis- tress, a brave sailor who aids her and speedily learns to love her, a mysterious island which is the scene of a South American revo- lutionary plot---these are some of the characters and themes utilized by a master story teller in weaving a romance of life un- der the mystic Southern Cross CHAPTER L !
