Dawes opportunity came sooner
thun he had expected. After the de-
parture Of the Hardys things at the
old ranch were, as both father and
o had predicted, very different.
They found themselves on a sort OF
good behaviOr-a behavior which. un
happily. excited In each other grave
suspicious as to purpose. The tension
steadily Increased, AMI both looked
forward to tie moment when some
thing must give way.
For several weeks the old man re-
manned entirely sober. but the call of
the appetite In him grew more and
more insistent as the days went by.
and 1t last came the morning when
Dave awOke to find him gone. He
needed no second guess; the craving
had become irresistible and his father
had ridden to town for the means to
satisfy It. The passing days did not
bring his return. but this occasioned
~ anxiety to Dave. In the course Of
Z carpuse hts father frequently re
mained away for weeks at n stretch.
He m0ped around the ranch build

casting pebbles in the water. or rode
ever the old trails On which she had
- often been his companion.

the broken stirrup. Then. slowly aud
methOdlcally. and still with that
strange sensation Of emptiness. he
Gaddled his own horse and set out on

their hands in horror over the threat
ened extinction of the once enormous
seal herds in Alaska. Now, it appears,
the seals are increasing greatly in
numbers and probably will become as
numerous as ever.
Moreover q new American industry
has been created. There never was
any seal fur industry i'm the United
States. though the United States was
the greatest fur consumer in the
world; now it has the largest and
hest. conducted under government di-
rectiOn Along with it the government
has been building up by-productS in
duStry of which oil and meat are
the chief items. and is making use
of the seals on the Pribilof islands to
maintain and increase the gray fox
herd and enlarge the foX-skin business.
Along with that goes the probing of
the islands for seal bones for fertilizer,
also a profitable industry. and the gov
eminent has found ways TO get a far
greater yield of furs than ever before
while at the same time greatly in
crPaSing the herd.
When one says that the government
has found means to increase both tne
yield and herd it may NOT strike the
reader as so astonishing as it would
be if put i'm another way. If forestry
could manage conservation so as 10
increase the amount of lumber taken
out and at the same time increase the
number of trees, that would be match
in conservation for what conservation
has done in the matter of seals.
The chief credit for these achieve
ments lies at the door of DR.. Hugh
NJ. Smith, the commissioner of fish
cries. one of the foremost authorities
on fish culture in the country. So
saws former Secretary of Commerce
William C. Redfield. who took DR.
Smiths ideas and carried them out
Mr. Redfield tells the story thus:
1--WE took hold of it in 1913 and
found existing the five-year closed
season, which forbade the killing of
any seals except the small number
needed by the natives far food. That
gave us Ssenty of time to plan for
the taking up of the production on a
large scaae. This country was the
largest pralucer of sealskin5 and the
largest consumer of seal furs. But the
process was that we would take the
skins AMI ship them down to San
Francisco or Seattle, send them across
the continent. cross the Atlantic ocean
with them and land them in London.
There they were dyed, dressed and
made into finished furS. and then
were sent back again across the. At
lantic ocean TO the United States as
nm imported article. paying 80 per
cent duty. to be consumed by our own
people-one trip across the continent
and two across the ocean.
THE economic wastefulness of that
process needs only 70 he stated, the
product being ours originally and the
market ours. There was no adequate
plant i'm this country for dyeing. dress
