AT first it was almost impossible to gather
any of these fish in order to install them in
the cultural stations at Leadville, Co.. and
Bozeman, Mont, but finally we delegated
several guides of the Mount Whitney region
to go out and use their utmost energies to-
wards capturing the fish. Upon the promise
OF substantial sums they did this and we were
able to secure several beautiful specimens.
These We Immediately hustled away in
large tanks in order that the fish might not
die and they were then placed in larger tanks
with water containing chemical preparations
and allowed to propagate. Soon our efforts
began to derive fruit and now we have prob
ably the finest outlay of eggs which we ever
secured in an effort of this kind. We may be

designated, and Parkman came back
to report the progress of events, most
agreeable, from his point of view, to
his principal.
Darlington was as expert with the
sword as with the pistol, and he made
no demur to any of the conclusions
of the seconds. All he wanted was
to have his deadly enemy opposite
him, with no one to intervene. He
had duties to perform before he went
to rest. One of them was the writ
ing of letter to Ellen, which, after
he had signed and sealed it, he gave
to ParKman, with instructions to turn
it over to my Lady Darlington in case
the approaching encounter should ter

may drop hook and line into almost any
stream OF the country and pull up Roosevelt

before thought themselves to be marooned
forever in Volcano creek.
1t was not an easy job for the fish commits
sion 10 gather many of the Roosevelt Golden
Trout, for the fish possess that wariness
which is common among the members of
the flnny world in mountain streams. However,
highly developed idea in the way of trap,

trout into its inner recesses. The first step
OF the work having been taken the rest was
easy. The fish were transported to Bozeman
and Leadville. where they were allowed to
propagate until great numbers of eggs were in
the hands of the fish commission.
The Roosevelt Golden Trout is essentially
a trout, but instead of the conventional gray
and white of the average trout in fresh streams
and lakes. its sides are streaked with beauti-
ful golden tint, which imparts a color to the
surrounding water and makes the fish visible

1t is that of savior of the Salmo Roosevelt
ii Evermann, which in cosmopolitan lingo i'm
plies Golden Trout. He has saved the Roose-
welt Golden Trout product of the west, from
extinction. This rare fish is known as the
most toothsome morsel which the finny realm
holds forth as the trophy of the rod and reel
The Roosevelt Golden Trout is the gamest
and showiest species of trout in the United
States and if promises of the United States
fish commission are to be believed, this spe
cies will be anged for in hundreds of streams
in the country within few years.
Some time ago President Roosevelt stirred
the fish commission into action when he told
its members that the Roosevelt Golden Trout
was threatened with extinction.
The tall minds of that august body at once
set about to find out what the Roosevelt Gold
en- Trout was A ponderous probe developed
1t was a fish and that there was only one
place in the United States where it was to
be found-in Volcano creek on the slopes of
Mount Whitney, Cal.
Several of the fish were captured alive and
put in great tanks in Bozeman, Mont and
Leadvllle, Col, to hatch eggs. This they did
as prescribed by the fish cultural stations.
Just the other day word came from those
stations that sufficient quantity of eggs had
been secured to stock streams in which trout
are to be found, in every part of the United
States. Upwards of million eggs were propa-
gated and soon these will be planted through
out the United States
Hence in a few years the present-day Izaak
Walton, who passes his summers angling for
trout and catching old shoes, tin cans and the
like, will occasionally be rewarded by feeling
the nibble of the famed Roosevelt Golden
Trout at his hook. If the fish nibbles strong
enough the fisherman must use every bit of
cunning at his command, for the finny creature
is one of the toughest customers to land
This rare fish was appropriately named the
Roosevelt Golden Trout 1t derived that name
because of the chief executives strenuous and
successful efforts to save it from extinction.
AS stated above, the only place where it is to
be found to-day is in Volcano creek the turbu-
lent waters of which prove particular attrac-
ton for the species and which make it diff
cult for the angler to land the fish, because of
the latters propensity for winding the hunts
mans line around rock and saving it in two
The streah, which is hard to find, is situated
halfway up Mount Whitney and is 1C miles
in length. 1t takes a guide of some intelligence

where the Golden Trout is to be found in any

failed in his duty. Kephard was q
kind old man, and well-affected toward
Darlington, who had been a midship-
man under him, but with the admiral
duty was always first and he knew
that there would be no condoning his
offense. He expected an order of ar
rest before the day was out. There
after he would come before court
martial.
To what a sorry pass he had
brought his fortunes by his own un-
mistakable folly! In the bright light
of the fresh, brisk morning, he saw
Ellen in her right relation to affairs,
a woman, brave, strong, noble. true
What if she did not shine amid tho
hothouse conventionalities of the fast
and vapid life of the crew whom he
had gathered at Darlington. In-
stead of being ashamed of her, he
should have rejoiced from the bottom
of his soul that she was so frank t.ad
fresh and free. What a splendid wom-
an she was! Whatever she did, how
we'll it was done! No veteran of q
thousand exciting nights over the gam
ing table could have played with more
GOODNESS and daring than she did in
that famous duel at cards with Strath-
gate. And, although the minuet was
outside of her accomplishments, how
swiftly had twinkled her flying feet
when she danced the sailors horn
pipe. 1t carried him back to slant
ing decks and fresh breezes and
bright skies. Would they ever re-
turn? Would he himself return un-
scathed from this adventure? 1t was
by no means certain, for Strathgate
was man of proven courage: he had
demonstrated that, and his reputation
as a sword player was deservedly
high.
