 "Yes, I suppose should"
 "Tell you what?' Brian went on. 'If you don't mind waiting alone for a few minutes I'll dash down and get my car. It's parked across from the boat house. There's a road the other side of these trees. I'll drive up here and that way you won't run any danger of get- ting chilled. Do you mind wait ing alone?"
 "No," Gale said. "I don't mind"

 "Keep it. I'm all right" But she insisted he must wear the coat. Her own was almost dry l now. Besides, the fire would keep her warm.

Nations Waterfowl
 Is Facing a Crisis
Audubon Association Calls for One Years Closed Sea-
 son and Adequate Federal Enforcement

New York, Jan. 22.-Sounding a clarion call to the sportsmen of North America and to, all indiv- uals and organizations who have at heart the preservation of the nations valuable wild life. the Na- tional Audubon association today stated: Taking the United States as a whole. reliable reports give startling evidence as to the scarcity ofd ucks this fall and winter of 1934-1935. This information is based not only upon our own field investiga ations'in the important con- centration areas east of the Missis- sippi, hut also upon those of vari- ous other dependable agencies. Whatever the differing beliefs of individual conservationists. outdoor enthusiasts, sportsmen tand others may be as to the principal causes of such extraordinary decline. the fact remains that control of the killing of waterfowl by man Is the only means we have of quickly con-

tributing to the restoration of an adequate breeding stock. Restora- tion of breeding grounds through expenditure of government or other funds we high commend and fully support but such procedure alone will not suffice to meet the present emergency"
 The statement continues: "We do not stand for prohibition of shooting: we are not opposed to field sports conducsted in accord ance with the law. The present vitally critical situation demands relcgating to the background incl dentl issues such as batting, bag limits, hours of shooting, live de- coys, sink boxes or batteries, and calls for concentration on the two most effective means of limiting the kill. We will have the definite support of very considerable number of sportsmen, men who with eager anticipation have looked forward every year to the water. fowl hunting season not only as a means of indulging in their favorite sport, but also as an opportunity to experience the recreatiopal and esthetic enjoyment which comes from an intimate contact with the great outdoors. Many such men realize the necessity of what we now urge if they, their children and their children's children are to enjoy in the future what has been to them a fascinating sport.
 "The opposition to the proposed action will come from some who, @ud yi ipu tha n tiora u,o fa fox,I c,, p ply by local concentrations, do not realize the extent of the depletion which has taken place; from those who look upon a duck or goose as something primarily to serve their sport or as food, or a source of in- come; from some who have finan- cial interest in the maintenance of license fees; from some who have financial interest in the sale of guns or ammunition; from some who have financial interest in real es- tate, the value of which a closed season might adversely affect; from those who maintain duck clubs as a commercial business for profit. These persons are actuated by quite natural and understandable mo- tives." Ht
 The statement concludes: "The Audubon association is sounding the clarion call. We ask for the en- thusiastic approval and active sup port of every organization of sportsmen, conservationists. ornith- ologists, nature lovers, farmers and others willing to crusade with us to CD close the season on water fowl for one year beginning Sep 'tember' 1885, and to CD provide adequate assignment of federal en- forcement personnel to make such Q closed season effective"

 "No." She turned so that her back was, toward the fire and her face in the shadows. "I came alone. It was such beautiful night wanted to be out in it. Like to skate alone"
 Do you? Sometimes I do, too. But you took a risk-getting so far away from the others"
 "I know that-now."
 He saw that she was trembling and cursed himself. No need to remind her how terribly close to disaster she had come.
 That crowd" he went on speaking rapidly. "They're mostly from the mill village-from the other side of town. Youngsters and young fellows and girls who work in the silk mill. I haven't skated on this river in years. Used to when I was kid, every win ter. Tonight I happened to think about 1t and hunted up an old pair of skates. I've been away from home for a while. Oh-do you live here?''
 "Yes,' Gale told him. 'I live here." ,, Funny, haven't seen you be- fore. Guess you must have come while was away"
 Gale did not answer that. "Away?" she repeated, raising questioning eyes.

Together they moved slowly across the icy surface. At last the man said, "AlI right!"
 He reached for her arm. Its all right" he said again. "The ice is solid here. Oh, those skates"
 He was down on the ice again. unbuckling the straps about Gales ankles, taking the skates off.
 They made me clumsy" the girl said. "-couldn't seem to move"

 The gray eyes were looking di- rectly into his. Serious gray eyes beneath wide-curving dark brows. Gray eyes that glowed richly, warmly, that suddenly sent Brian Westmore's pulse to speeding.

Until Jimmie Drouth was 30 he had never fired a gun. His wife, Julie, had, though-once while Jimmie was at the office, to prove to Benedicta, the Drouths' whale like washerwoman, that Jimmie's gun wasn't loaded. The Angel Ga- briel had already tried to get Ben- edicta that morning, she said, be- fore she came to work. A steer. escaped from the stockyards, had plunged through the screen door of her kitchen, after the police had cornered it in her yard. Benedicta was wearing red dress and could hear Gabriels' trumpet just as plain as If he were with her in the pantry, helping to hold the flour barrel against the door.
 Then later at the Drouths' when the shot rang out, Benedicta blanched and bolted for the bath room. where she stayed put while the Angel Gabriel went thrashin' round the apartment. And not un- til Jimmie got home and the two of them assured her that the gun had been put out in the garage would Benedicta unlock the door.
 Of course, the gun never got out of the apartment; and when, some weeks later during a black thun- der-shower with lightning flashing and the water pipes shivering, Benedicta thrust her hand into the bread box and pulled out the gun with her own fat and frightened finger, why she just up and quit right then and there.
 It was shortly after this that Jimmie and Julie moved to an- other apartment building, one about which, they discovered after moving in, there was something very mysterious in the way one apartment after another was being robbed; always, surprisingly enough, when the hapless tenants were out. It was generally thought that the robberies were being perpetrated by persons liv- ing in the building who knew the movements of the other tenants, but Jimmie didn't think so.
 For one thing, the family over them hadn't ever been bothered; though they were out quite bit. Evening after evening their pup, Fleeta, would bark her way down the soft-carpeted stairs, past the Drouths' door, leading her master and mistress out to their car. They wonder about whatever strange and seemingly significant sounds happened to sift down from above, which as a rule turned out to be just the regular goodnight thump- ings of the large family of children on the third floor making ready for bed.
 One evening, well after the bed time of the third-floor children, there began, as Jimmie and Julie were just getting into bed, a spo- radio but systematic pumping di- rectly overhead. With the covers thrown halfway back, they list ened, The activity kept on = de- librately-intrepidly.
 "They're pulling out drawers" whispered Jimmie, and drawing on his robe he drew his gun out of the golf-bag beside the bed, while Julie's eyes glowed in the draft of expectancy.
 And up Jimmie went, gun in
