Keep Your Fish Dry.

Strange as it may seem there is
nothing in the world that will spoil
dead fish so quickly as water. Ii your
fishing conditions are such as to pre-
vent your keeping your catch alive,
by all means kill each one as quickly
rs caught, and having done so dry it
and keep it dry. Remember that a
fish strung through the gills and
thrown oversize is doomed TO
speedy death by suI1Ocation. If you
must string them use one of the
patent stringers that holds through
the jaw and gives the fish a fighting
chance for life. If, however, you can
neither treat your catch in this way
nor turn them loose In tank, Kill
them instantly, wipe them quite dry
and keep them sheltered from the sun.
Fish should not be packed so that
they come in direct contact with ice;
place a sheet of n9nabsorbeut paper
between. Avoid damp moss or sea-
weed in your creel.

Short Skirts and JeweIry,

For the jeweler, one prospect of
prosperity relieves the gloom Of soar
ing prices, scarcity Of material, delay
in shipments and all the ills that beset
the war-harried lapidary. In brief, If
skirts will stay short, it may make up
for the shortage in precious stones.
"The shorter the skirt the better for
us" said Il jeweler recently, And why?
Because" replied the ieweler, "the
sale of ankle watches has been in
creased from so to Is per cent since
skirts went up" But this is not all.
There is another article of iewelry af-
fected by brief dress. 1t is known as

 Several revolver and rifle shots rang out before they reached the building. Obeying orders, the guards and strike breakers were firing over the heads of the mob in endeavor to frighten it off.

 He ran hastily out into the yard.
 As he did so a scattering volley sounded from beyond the fence and one of the guards pitched backward from the platform, shot through the head.
 Incontinently his comrades began to shoot to kill. =
 Seizing the rifle of the fallen man, Parr jumped to the platform. The weapon was at his shoulder and his eye was sighting along its barrel wheL he became aware ef sudden Hull in the uproar, a Hull in which Patria's voice sounded high and true:

 With gasp of horror. Parr saw the girl running out into the open space between the fence and the advancing rabble. and understood that she had taken advantage of the general preOc- cupation within the yard to open small gate and take this fOolhardy risk.

 Five minutes later Patria laid her power boat alongside a schooner that lay mOOred to the nOrthernmOSt of tht Charming docks. Ryley swarmed up over the schooner's side and made fast the painter-to find. when he turned Patria at his elbow.
 You stay here, miss" he shouted. to make himself heard above the din of the conflagration. "Tll find Captain Parr if he's here to be found. and bring him back to you
 But when be ran up the gangplank tO the dock, Patria was by his side Rowing to her indOmitable courage. he made no more protest. but hurried on with her into the heart of that furnace which yawned for them ashore.
 It was as if the earth itself had lowered in devastating flame.
 Following the spur line of rails that ran from the dock to the shore. they fought their way on, scorched by flame. .,eIuged with sparks. deafened with the incessaat detonation of shells ex- ploding in burning freight cars, dazzled to blindness.
 Eventually, on the verge of abandon ing their efforts as wholly hopeless. they stumbled across the body of Don aid prone between two lines of rails, SesiGe the ruins of a freight car al- ready consumed to it's trucks.
 Insensible when they lifted him up and, with one of his arms across shoulder of each, they dragged him back toward the water: he came t0 after time-a badly singed and badly shaken Donald, but in no way serious ly injured.
 Thereafter he did his part like the man he was, not only taking care ct himself. but aiding the failing efforts of Patria to keep moving. The girl was half fainting with fatigue and hard ship. She dragged on the arm that Donald had wound round her like thing inanimate.
 In some manner. of which none re- tained coherent understanding - through some miraclc-the three re- gained the dock and staggered down il to the schooner.
 Sparks flying ou the night wind had already set fire to the vessel. To re gain the launch, their one hope of eS- cape. they had to cross a deck that ,s1 where it was not already ailamc
 Leaving Donald to care for Patria, Rylcy threw himself on ahead To un- moor the power boat.
 As hc did so. and swung round tO give aid if need be. the deck between aim and those two laundering figures caved in and sheet of flame shot up.
 With groan the detective dropped Jver the side into the boat and pushed off.
 At little distance he looked back and cried out in wonder tO see the fig ureS of Donald and Patria half way up he foremast-the hungry flames leap ing savagcly for their feet.
 With infinite excrtiOn. slowly they climbed on and on. dogged ever by the flames.
 A slight explosion sounded in the hold of the schooner. The flames shot higher. The mast rocked toitered, swayed like broken reed. and crashed over tho side, carrying the lovers with It.
