ed to marry him.
: It was lucky, however, that
Annie had not married him. That
would have made her a bigamist.
She brushed her hand before her
eyes and approached the window.
She could see each face plainly.
The little old lady had a sweet,
gentle look in her eyes, and the
lace at her throat was becom-
ing touch.
Jack looked older, and the lines
about his eyes showed that he
was not altogether happy. The
younger woman was plump and
rosy-cheeked, and the baby, about
q year and a half, was a perfect
specimen. Annie did some reck-
oning and her lips curved into
sneer. 1t was evident that his
obligation lay with this woman at
the time he had married Annie.
That probably accounted for his
leaving her on the pretext Of
visiting a sick brother.
Annie lifted the weapon and
took aim at the heart of the
young mother. But somehow the
strength to discharge the revolver
left her. Her hand dropped to
her side.

NEAR EXHAUSTION
Hoover Warns Steps Must
Be Taken if Next Generation
Is to Have Sea Food.
By the Associa ted Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., September
6.-America is blindly, without re-
gard to stability of the industry and
without sense of responsibility to flu
ture generations, destroying the fish
cries of its bays and adjacent coasts,
Secretary Hoover declared in an ad-
dress here last night before the sixth
annual convention of the United
States Fisheries Association. The Sec
retary asserted that unless the con-
dition is remedied a constantly de-
pleted species will ultimately reach
point of exhaustion from which there
is no recovery.
To stem the wholesale destruction
of the species, Secretary Hoover
recommended Capitalization of con-
troll of costal fisheries in interstate
commissions, to be created with con-
gressional approval.
Although the United States is "lit-
orally destroying it's littoraI and in
land fisheries at a rate that promises
the end in a generation," Mr.. Hoover
said. he added that more has been
done in the last three years in actual
accomplishments than in the two gen.
erations before" These ACCOMPLISH
mcnts he summarized as follows:
First Congress enacted last win
ter federal legislation controlling
oil pollution of coastal waters by oil
burning and oil-carrying ships This
measure was vital to the existence of
our fisheries and the protection of
cur shellfish. 1t is only a beginning
at solution Of the pollution problem.
Treaty With Canada.
Second We secured by negotia-
t1onS with Canada, the Pacific Coast
halibut treaty and the enactment of
legislation, under which the two ma
tions are now able to halt the de-
pletion and destruction of the great
fishery and to start it's recuperation.
Third. Congress. after three years
OF controversy, enacted the Alaskan
salmon fisheries conservation bill, and
we have today vigorously stopped de-
struction and started the rejuvenation
of these fisheries.
Fourth. Congress enacted the up
per Mississippi fish and game refuge
bill, through which the streams of
the upper Mississippi will be pre-
served for the breeding of the fish and
game.
Fifth. We have had some success
in bringing about cooperation be-
tween different States for the protec-
tion of fisheries"
Further important steps which
should now be taken were enumerated
by the Secretary as follows:
Il. To cultivate a sense of national
responsibility toward the fisheries and
their maintenance: to make conserva-
ton of those priceless resources
part of the national instinct; to let
the whole country understand that we
can no more overfish and expect to
have seafood than we can outcut .the
growth of our forests and expect to
have timber
'2. To make vigorous attempt to
