SYNOPSIS: Dagger Marley, 16-year -old niece of a Texas rancher, rescues Blaine Howard, American adventurer, from ecme Mexican insurgents and falls in love with him. Howard is already unhappiiy married, and does net return Daggers affection. Later he is reported missing and probably dead in fighting on the Western Front in France, and Dagger, heart broken, goes to visit an aunt in San Antonio. There she meets Captain John Vaneering, flying ace, who falls in love with her and helps her learn to fly. Sud- denly he is ordered back to France and impulsively they clope and are married. Vaneer- ing's mother wires her disap- provaI of their sudden act, how ever, and Dagger's uncle, who has brought her up on the ranch dislikes Vaneering. The captain drinks heavily, but has promised to stop to please Dag ger. In New York Vaneerings mother is jelly disappearing of Dagger, but his father and sis ter, Kitty, like her at once.

what right had she to expect es- pecial safety for her Jack? And she wasn't surprised when doom struck, telegram from the Red Cross: Captain John Vaneering is in Neu- lily Hospital with shattered knee cap"
 What day that was in the Vaneering household! Telephones dangling, telegraph messengers com- ing and going in steady stream. MT. Vaneering pulled every wire he could reach, and the next morning brought a cable from Jack him self: Don't worry. Knee trouble some but safe. Nice blighty." At least, as Kitty pointed out, Jack was safe from worse harm. And that was something to be thankful for.
 But an inevitable reaction Dag ger experienced from this incident was to lose most of her interest in the war, and she would have been quite miserable had it not been for an episode which occurred couple of weeks after the news of Jacks misfortune.

FISH PROFITS
 DON'T AVERAGE
 UNUSUALLY HIGH
w. s. George Says Many Boats Are in Sal-
 mon Waters

In waters in the neighborhood of JunIAu, salmon fishermen are ex- periencing a profitable season, w. s. George, president and general manager of the Juneau Cold Stor- age Company, declared yesterday in commenting on fishery condi- tions.
 But profits are not exorbitant," !" he added. There are numerous boats-both trollers and buyers and their average gain is moderate. On a rare occasion, of course, a single trolling boat or possibly two or three trolling boats might meet with a large school of fish, and the take might gross to a boat, as was reported recently, $500 in one day. But such luck occurs very, very seldom. There are many days when there is no take at all or when it is so mall as to be insuf- ficient to pay expenses. High peaks of good fortune are invariably lev elled by low dips of bad.
 eWaters in this neighborhood have been yielding fair catches, but at all times there have been enough boats. and scarcely any have earned exceptional profits
 No salmon or halibut was re- ceived here today. The 1000 pounds of halibut brought yesterday fore noon by the Tern, Capt. Andrew Rosnes, were auctioned in the af- ternoon for 91s cents and 6 cents a pound. The San Juan Fish Com panv was the successful bidder

Chapter Is. STORM CLOUDS GATHER

Dagger's moJner-in-law and Jack had disappeared, evidently for a private talk, and she found diff culty in adjusting herself to the conversation of the other women.
 It was a relief when the men finally joined them, and Kitty sug- gested bridge, for she had to con- ccntrate on the game and that di- verted her thoughts from what Jacks mother was saying to him upstairs. u
 MT. Vaneering escorted Dagger to her room after the party had broken up He was very quiet, and made no reference to his wife's de- parture; but his manner toward Dagger was unobtrusively affection ate.
 Good night, Alix-or may l say Dagger? Thank you He stopped to kiss her. You are treat. l am going to enjoy you"
 Please do," was all she could say for acknowledgement.
 For she was frightened. What had happened between Jack and his mother? What would happen? Jack was lounging in a big easy chair, cigarette in his mouth. He rose at once, and made deter mined effort to erase the shadow which hung over his features.
 "Ah, sportn' he greeted d her What luck?"
 She tossed a handful of checks tC him, without comment. He whistled riffling through them.
 About a thousand, eh? And suppose the chumps thought they would show the little girl iron Texas some high life!" He took hel hands, his eyes scrutinizing her witt a mixture of adoration and con- cern. Say" he gulped-"you ano mother haven't hit it off, hayt you?"
 Dagger choked her first indig nant affirmation of the question with an effort. A still voice deep il her brain whispered that this mai was her husband, who, in less thal 24 hours, would have left her fo the caldron of the war. Any hu initiation or discomfort she sui fered wouldn't be too steep a pric, to pay, if it made his going easier
 T know dear" She nodded wise ly. And you mustn't worry. Wei get along perfectly just as soon a we know each other. And you father and Kitty like me, already.
 They're wild about you. An so will mother be, after she's re conciled to the situation. She can help loving you-nobody could"
 And he swept her bodily off he feet in an embrace that shook he with ecstacy.
 Only tonight and tomorrow" h panted. "Oh, Dagger! 50 snort time. Love me, dearest, love me.
 T love you with all my heart, she murmured.
 But when she closed her eyes wasn't Jacks face that swan mis tily in front of her. Could it b Towards?
 Later, lying awake beside he sleeping husband, she conned tn sequence of her life, the many un premeditated steps by which sh had come from Casa Blanca to thi high walled chamber through tn windows of which beat the pulse 0 New York's night life. So far i so short a time! What might tn future hold for her?

The next morning I SAT outside the
office at the aviation field. I was
still thinking of Marjorie and our
disagreement of the night before.
"Why the scowl?" the soft low
voice of Pearl Nelson sounded close.
I glanced up to find her standing
nearby. She was a dainty httle
thing. 1t was much easier to imagine
her curled UP. on a divan than it was
to imagine her strapped in the cock

Don't Marjorie for Gods sake
don't!" cried as I ran after her. She
sped like a deer and had nearly
reached the madly whirling prop"
when she turned her ankle and fell
with low moan.
I ran to her and picked her up.
No sinner has ever been more re-
pentant that I was at that moment
for the foolhardy stunt had tried
to pull.
"Forgive me, Marjorie. I am a
fool. We will 60 back home right
now. I only wanted to scare you in
to throwing Joe over but I know now
that we can't get everything. I'll
take you back and tell them that we
had to make a forced landing or
anything. Yo,. don't need to worry.
I'll get you back" I lifted her into
the plane and took my seat at the
controls.
Dusk was settling over Belly. lille

down. The closer we came to earth
the lower my pride fell. The great
es; feat I did was to face the crowd
that gathered around the plane. I
wanted to dig hole in the ground

"Why a woman, of course" She

I hesitated to tell her of Marjorie.
She sensed this.
"Well," I began, 81 suppose since
I owe my life to you I could at least

Don't do it from sense of duty
or gratitude. You owe me nothing.
But If I can help you well, you

"You won't fly any more now, will

anxiety.

Soon I was again at the field. Mar

Joe but as he was usually busy 1t
was who did most of the entertain

wanted her to do. Joe was not SuS-

back into his face. I'd show the two
of them something.
But reckoned without the girl.
Being rather goodlooking and pos
sessing a finely built muscular
physique, had never had any
trouble fascinating the opposite sex.
In fact I was quite sought after.
since in addition to these physical
attractions my checking account at
one of the most prominent local
banks was large and didn't mind
spending. Usually if I danced with
the same girl several times in one
evening she wanted to get sentiment
al. Consequently I was more often
bored than flattered.
But Marjorie had eyes and smiles
for only Joe. This aroused in me
