"Across China on Foot"

]

[Illustration: WASH DAY AMONG THE CHILDREN
Scene in the school grounds of the mission at Tongch'uanfu, the "City of
the Eastern Streams"--and a very happy little band they are.]

[Illustration: TWO DAYS OUT FROM YUNG-CH'ANG-FU
An almost everyday scene in the western part of China--China's
"Switzerland"--on the main road from Chung-king to Upper Burma.]

[Illustration: THE ITINERANT NECROMANCER
Predicted the disappearance of the author in five days; was himself found
dead in village in three days.]

[Illustration: COPPER KETTLE LANE IN YUeN-NAN-FU
Copper is supposed to be a government monopoly, yet there is always
abundance of copper here! One of the most interesting streets in all
China.]

[Illustration: AUTHOR'S CARAVAN FOUR DAYS FROM JOURNEY'S END
And a snapshot of the bridge said by Chinese "to be possessed of a
demon!"-- because it ate up so much money in public subscription, and yet
was never in repair!]


[Illustration: TYPICAL SINGLE-SPAN BRIDGE OF INLAND CHINA.
Engineers say that China possesses bridges of more varied design than
any other country.]
