Blazes, nerved to desperation because
she knew she simply could not go
home without her hat, planked her
self into alchair and announced that
she would stay right there until he
gave her her own hat.
An inspiration came to Harry. TAX.

"Pll send out and get you the hat.
III get that milliner to rush another
duplicate for you. Here. hide in here
for a while You understand there'd
be no end of talk if you were found
here"
He rushed Mrs. Blazes to the door
of his own room and pushed her in
and slammed the door. then turned to
the count.
Now you may CO." he said.
The Count was only too willing, but
Lucy and her father could be heard
coming nearer. Bewildered, Harry
grabbed the Count by the arm and
showed him into the library on the
other side from his own room.

And as Lucy and her father came
into the room he slipped out the door
leading to the back hallway.

Legislature Passes Law
For Protection Of Fish
Special to the Record.

| special to the Record.
CARSON CITY, March 10-In the
senate, bill No. 6S, introduced by Sen
ator Mills, for the protection and
| preservation of the fish of the stream
and lakes of the state, was passed.
The new law makes number Of
changes in the old law and will be of
interest to the Isaac Waltons of
Nevada The main idea of the bill
Is to further protect the fish and
prevent the unlawful catching Of
them. To close the season when the
fish are spawning.
Last season on the Truckee river
tons of fish were taken from that
stream at the time they were heavy
with spawn. The bill aims to pre-
vent repetition of this useless waste
or fish life that in the end more
people can enjoy fishing legally and
honestly. An amendment was pro-
posed, opening the Truckee river at
the time fish were running up stream
to spawn. The amendment was lost

river is a great fish stream but
there are other steams in Nevada
that need as much consideration
and protection, which the new law
provides for.
The bill provides for a closed sea-
son between the 10Th of October
and the 3Oth day of April. In
other words, the season for fishing
is from the first of May until the
18th day of October, giving the
angler chance at the streams with
rod and line at the time when the
streams are at their best The dates
are set for the protection of the
fish and the benefit of the angler.

eggs.
The law prevents the trapping,
grabbing and other unsportsmanlike
methods. Not more than ten pounds
