abated and without anything being done
about it.
In States such as Minnesota, Wis
consin and Michigan, once the home of
some Of the finest fish that abide in the
waters of North America, the better
fish are vanishing. The rough fish
have taken possession; have destroyed
the better fish by destroying the
spawn cast on the spawning grounds
Canada has more wisely met this
problem by taking the utmost care Of
the waters and keeping control OF the
rough fish SO that they constitute no
harm to the better grade of fish. This
represents to Canada annually a vaca-
ton and resort business going into
millions Of dollars. Canada will be-
come the playground Of American out
ers simply because our waters have
been almost completely turned over to
the organized rough fish men, con-
trolled as they are by one class.
Everything is being done to protect
the rough fish; the native game fish
are gently pushed into the back ground.
An official OF the Fish and Game Com
mission of Wisconsin stated quite
frankly that the rough fish represented
money value and that the game fish
had only sentimental value. An ex-
animation OF the fish laws OF Wiscon-
sin will show that the rough fish are
protected with greater care than the
game fish. 1t has came to pass that
the Shiny sucker fish has attained

pay attention. Her thought was fol-

prehension. She called the office in
mid-evening; it would be open, she
knew. for messages regarding Uncle
Benny and Alan would be expected
there. A clerk answered.; no other
news had been received: she then
asked Henry's whereabouts.
"Mr. Spearman went north late this
afternoon, Miss Sheriff." the clerk
informed her.
NORTH. Where?"
"We are to communicate with him
this evening to Grand Rapids; after
that, to Petoskey." @
Constance could hear her own heart
beat. Why had Henry gone, she won

Horror and amaZement flowed in up
on her with her realization of this in
the man she had promised to marry.
For an instant she stared at him, all
her body tense; then. as she turned
and went out, he followed her, calling
her name. But, seeing the seamen in
the larger Office, he stopped, and she
understood he was not willing to urge
himself upon her in their presence.
I'm willing to go home now. mother,
If you wish," she said steadily.
When they had gone down to the
street and were in the car, Constance
leaned back, closing her eyes; she
feared her mother might wish TO talk
with her.

But If the Drum was beating, she was
glad it was beating short. 1t was
serving, at least, to keep the lake men
more alert.
A little later, as Constance stood at
the window, gazing out at the snow
upon the lake, she drew back suddenly
out of sight from the street, as she
saw Henry's roadster appear out of
the storm and stop before the house.
She waited in the room where she
was. The strain he was under had
not lessened, she could see; or rather,
if she could rust her feeling at sight
of him, 1t had lessened only slightly,
and at the same time his power to
resist it had been lessening too.

She saw Henry stiffen. "Yes," she
said swiftly. ''They say the Drum be-

first it sounded for only two lives; it's
kept on beating, but still is beating
only for four. There were <thirty-nine

thirty-two crew. Twelve have been
saved now; so until the Drum raises
the beats to twenty-seven there is still
a chance that someone will be saved"
Constance watched him with wonder
at the effect of what she had told.
The news of the Drum had shaken
him from his triumph over Alan and
Uncle Benny and over her. 1t had

Cooking Chicken.

Old saying is, no one can eat quail
a day for 30 days. H. J. Jalmar, Bap-
fist missionary in the Kongo, hasn't
tested the quail theory. But he ate
chicken three times day for two
years.
Don't pity Jalmar for monotony of
diet.
Pity his wife, who had to plan the
meals to make them attractive. She
evolved % ways of preparing chicken.

The Journal being the first to advocate taking
steps looking toward cleaning up the moral condi-
tons of Albuquerque and vicinity. is naturally in
favor OF the movement that has been started with
that end In view. However. those who are taking
the lead should be careful not to make themselves
obnoxious, is SO often the case with those who
start out to do ''uplift' work.
For instance, delegation of women appeared
before the county commissioners Wednesday and
urged that large number of mounted deputy
sheriffs be appointed for the purpose of ranging
over the county roads and investigating" cars
parked along the roadside.
The mere fact that automobile is standing by
the roadside, anywhere else, is indication that
any law is being violated and, unless an officer had
to believe that everything not right he
would have no more license to search the car than
he would to enter your home.

with the post of private secretary. Thereafter the
two were comrades and toured continents

twenty-one years, and with Miss Wizards death,
Miss Gordon took her place. Earlier in her career
