1t was no better or no
worse than most of the love-

the bromidic stock phrases
preeomposed by the tele-
graph companies for the
millions so that they may
order by number their greet
ings and their fluctuations.
Queenie, who had been
standing before the mirror
in the bedroom, fighting to
repress her tears, stood
rigid at the first note. As
Eddie's clear voice gave
forth the claptrap, shrewdly
emphasized and shaded with
modulations of touch and
fluctuations Of pedaling, her

He had reconciled himself
to what Hank might think
and feel. 1t was too bad.
She had been lammed, as
had many before her. If
Queenie grew up to be so
infatuating, could he help
itf Nature was nature.
That fight he had already
fought out with himself and
had given himself the de-
cision. That was when he
felt his blood sizzle with the
hunch that Queenie had
been hit as hard as he had,
and in the same spot.
But, now the specter of
sWarriner had stalked in be-
tween them. He, who had
been prepared to make for
her the great sacrifice of
all, Including honor, was
suddenly motioned back by
this unexpected and unwel-
come intruder who had
nothing TO even be sorry
and hesitant over. What
right had this rich, fine
looking stranger from an
alien and hostile field, to
come between showfolks,

clung together because no
other tribe opened its gates

temptation, held back by a
hundre d long headed
scruples.
A sig h, inyoluntarily,
penetrated deep and then
escaped. Eddie did not
jump at the sound. He
turned slowly on the swivel
of the piano stool. Queenie
stood, quaking. He raised
his head slowly. He was
facing her. His eyes found
hers. He said nothing. But
he raised his arms as though
they were weary. He brought
them up and spread them
open.
"Queenie !" he gasped.
She staggered a step to-
ward him. He was SO pa
thetic, so broken.
He rose unsteadily, to his
feet as though his legs, too,
were tottering. She stopped
just out of his reach.
"Queenie, he breathed,

to his stool.

She felt herself impelled
toward him. And only with
an effort did she hold tight.
"But - Eddie - it isn't

out for us-for all of us

and when salmon cannericS were established in California and Oregon more than a half cen tury ago, the cannerSe con- structed them there. Traps or pound nets were constructed in Alaska by the salmon canners as early as 1878, or more than fifty years ago. For half cen tury the right of tfe trap own CT, who constructed and used his trap on Alaskan salmon grounds, was respected and pro- tccted by the courts under the law which gives the prior occu- pant of public lands the cxcluS- i've right thereto as long as he continues his actual use and oc- cupation thereof. A contest arose between the prior occu- pant and jumper" in recent years, and Judge Brown, of the Valdez division .teld, that the dismantling of the trap in the fall, after the fishing season had lapsed, constituted an abandon ment of the trap site, and that the Jumper" who got on the site a few days earlier than the prior occupant in the spring was entitled to the legal possession thereof.
