period in the early eighties when he
was a contributor to the London Sat
urday Review, at that time, under the
editOrship OF Walter Pollock, q journal
of marked distinction. Such names as
Lang, Dobson, Gosse, d. D. Trail, W..
E. Henley Illuminated its columns. Mr..
Matthews was the only American con-
nected with the staff Of the "Satur-
day" as the Review was familiarity
called.

was great fun for me. an American OF
the Americans" writes Mr.. Matthews,

one towering cliff, still Bearing its

gorge of the Purgatoire. To the east
of this point the trails to Calabasas

Scott and Lefever received De Spain,
who had ridden slowly and followed
Scott's injunctions to keep the red
star to the right of Ell Captain all the
way across the sinks.
Securing their horses, the three
stretched out on the open ground to
wait for daylight. De Spain medi-
tated first on how he should capture
Sassoon at daybreak, and then on Nan
Morgan and her mountain home into
which he was about to break to drag
out a criminal. Sassoon and his malice

De Spain got up and shook off the

known in the gap than either of his
companions. could best attempt the diff
fcult capture. Bob Scott, who knew
the recess well, repeated his explicit
directions as to how De Spain was TO
reach SassoOn's shack. He repeated
his description of its interior, told him
where the bed stood, and even where
Sassoon ordinarily kept his knife and
his revolver.
De Spain gave his horse his head
it was still too dark to distinguish the
path-and advanced at snaiPs pace
until he passed the base of Ell Captain,
when of a sudden, as he rode out from
among high projecting rocks full into
the opening, faint rays of light from
the eastern dawn revealed the narrow.
strangely inclosed and perfectly hid
den valley before him.
De Spain caught his breath. No de-
scription he had ever heard of the
nook that screened the Morgans from
the outside world had prepared him
for what he saw. From side to side
between the frowning cliffs which rose,
ut points, half a mile into the sky, it
was several miles, and the gap was
more than as much in depth, as it ran
back to mere wedge between un-
named Superstition peaks.
Every moment that he pushed ahead
warned him that daylight would come
suddenly and his time to act would be
short. The trail he followed broad
ened into road, and a turn brought
him up startled and almost face to
face with a long, rambling ranch
house. The gable end of the two-story
portion of the building was so close
to him that he instantly refined up to
seek hiding from its upper and lower
windows.
From SCOTS accurate description he
knew the place. This was Duke Nor

BEWARE OF THE DAM
Garry Tape Line With You
and Measure Off 500 Feet
Before Starting to Fish.

I A mighty good law recently
enacted by the legislature for
protection of game fish was that
pertaining to fishing below any
dam. The law now makes it a
misdemeanor to angle in any
manner for game fish within 500
feet Of any dam. fshway or lock.
Heretofore you could fish any
where below a dam, fshway or
lock, and you were sure of good
catches out of the pool below.
Fish trying to go up a hshway
necessarily congregate there in
great numbers and the man with
the lure usually cleans up the
bunch.
A recently enacted law on game
fish which is proving boom
erang to the conservation COM
mission, who are responsible for
it's passage, is the law relating
to muskellunge.
The present law, modelled by
some fellow who does not know
the musky tribe, was changed
from Give poundsrough weight"
to mot under twentyfour inches
in length" Here is how in works
out:
A muskellunge measuring 2512
inches in length, caught at Fern
croft Inn, Star Lake, weighed
but 234 pounds. 1t was sent to
the fish commission as sample.
Another one caught last week at
Doriet's resort on Manitowish
lake, was 261a inches long and
went but a trifle over 3 pounds.
And still another musky caught
near Boulder Junction a few
days ago was measured and
weighed by Maurice O'Brien and
Game Warden Oberholtzer. 1t
measured and weighed the same
as the above.
What the commission intends
doing to save depletion of mus
kellunge under size is now a
much mooted question.
Another law now causing con-
siderable trohble among resort
owners and guides is the bond
ing of guides. How this will
work out is also question.
