Co. New York.
Mr.. Frank l.. Packard, who is a ma
tive of Montreal, Canada, has already
made his name familiar to the reading
public. His best known book is probably
"On the Iron at Big Cloud" stories of
railroad life in the Rockies. That he
should choose such a setting for his
stories is natural, for, before making
writing his profession, he took college
course IN engineering. followed by four
years in the engineering department of
one of the large Canadian railroads
Last September Mr.. Packard started on
a world tour, sailing from Montreal di-
rect to Capetown, and then around the
cape to Melbourne. Australia. and then
Sydney, arriving at Auckland, New Zea-
land. just so days after sailing. He went
far into the interior to Maoriland, then
back to Aukland, from which point he
sailed for the South Sea islands, the
''comic opera Kingdom of Tonga" as he
calls it, Samoa and Fiji-and later
Hawaii
While in the Samoan group at Apia he
went Win d natlVe crew 10 one OF the
smaller islands, where he lived for a
couple of weeks in chiefs hut in true
native fashion.
In his new novel, Greater Love Hath
No Man. Mr.. Packard has told. In
manner intensely gripping and stirring,
the story of tremendous sacrifice and
its reward.
This novel has most obvious features
of popularity, but the supreme and con-
vincing evidence, of its big qualities lies
in the fact that when issued serially the
editor of the magazine in which 1t APP
peared received 1900 enthusiastic letters
concerning the stbry-a record for his
office If not for any office.
