lation is centel'ed along Peril Strait
in the northern portion of the is
land. Much of Baranof Island is
high, rugged, barren country little
frequented by bears. Many of the
streams, especially on the east side
of the island, tumble into salt wa
ter and provide no suitable spawn
ing grounds for salmon, the bears
principal food at this time of year.
All streams suitable for spawn
ing salmon had fish in them but
in only few of the streams were
the spawning grounds considered
fully stocked. Holbrook says in his
report he visited Ushk Bay in con-
nection with a Chichagof Island
bear census on September l, 1888
and found the stream full of hump
backs, with many wasting in the
bay. On visit TO the same stream
on August 81 this year, he found
principally dog sal mon in the
SJItdIllo. Oilly I'LL &C VA ACNsi lump
les were identified. In the bay there
was only a fraction of the number
of humpbacks present year ago.
10 Streams Populated
A total of 79 streams were found
to have both salmon and bear. Nc
effort was made to see bears, but
10 were seen by field men engaged
in the census.
Other wildlife observed and enum-
Grated included 500 eagles, SO deer,
PSI mallards, 102 teals and 277 geese.
An effort was made to locate the
goats planted on the island several
years ago but due to the cloudy and
foggy weather prevailing at the
time, none were seen in fled
glass study. The common pine squir-
rel planted a number of years ago
in the vicinity of Sitka were noted
at widely separated places on the
island.

Liechtenstein, being forgotten, is
still technically at war with Prussia.

Representatives of Summerlin's
department, or the chief officer him
self, will escort each foreign digni-
tary's party from the time it en-
tiers the United States until it leaves.
Already most details of the English

even to the time cameramen and
newsreels are assigned for photo
graphing the royal couple on its ar
rival at the Washington Union sta
ton. Two difficult problems are
those of housing the English mon
arch's encourage, and arranging
seats at the state dinner given in
his honor. There will be no curtsy-
ing to the queen; the English royal
couple has decreed that American
customs shall prevail in such in
stances.
Such decisions are made after
consultation between representa-
tives of both nations concerned. in
this case Sunmerlin and Alan Fred
erick Lascelles, acting secretary to
King George who visited the United
States recently.
Summertime staff is small because
seldom is the nation subjected to
such barrage of visitors. There
are only 10 people in the division,
five of them clerks. The principal
other members are Stanley Wood
ward, assistant chief, and Charles
Spruks, ceremonial officer.

retaining their seats In Vaduz. These
taxes are often paid 80 years in adj
vance. Obviously, Liechtenstein has
no national debt.
Farming is the chief occupation,
natives producing corn, fruit, wood
and wine. Cotton, leather goods and
pottery are among manufactured
items. Sandwiched between Swift
erland and Germany, the state is 90
per cent German in population but
has closer ties with Switzerland. It
uses Swiss currency and was in
cluded IN the Swiss customs union
In 1924. It's postal and telegraph
services are also administered by
Switzerland.

you'd like him, Mother" she had
urged. ST know you would"
But her mother would never go.
The girl went mechanically about
the business of preparing for the
night. Her eyes drifted half-resent-
fully around the ugly room. She
loosed her hair and brushed it slow
ly for a while, watching her refiec-
ton in the mirror above the marble
slab. The house long since was still.
When at last she turned out her
own light and opened one of the tall
windows, she saw Aunt Ewes house
next door was dark and silent too.
Also she saw, far off, a flicker in
the sky; she even heard the rumble
of thunder. Yet the storm might
not come this way, or if it did, her
mother might not waken. She got
into the big bed and lay without
drawing any covering over her, for
the night was hot, and the air was
lifeless and still. The old house
creaked all around her; mice sour
ried In the walls.
She must have slept at last, and
for an indeterminate time. 1t was
a gust of wind which woke her, a
sudden quickening in the tempo of
the night. Then lightning etched
net of flame across the sky, and the
crashing thunderstroke burst in her
ears.
June was not afraid of thunder
showers; but her mother, despite
the drug she had taken, might have
walked; June decided to go in and
see. She knew the older woman
would be, if size were awake, COVER
ing now, and crying out as though
from an actual physical pain. The
girl got out of bed and crossed the
hall to her mothers door.
Without opening the door, she lis
tened, but she heard no sound from
within. Yet still June hesitated, un-
certain, uneasy for no reason. In
the end she opened the door and
spoke softly into the darkness.
Mother, are you all right?"
But there was no reply, and June
was treasured. She was about to
return to her own room, when light
ming flashed again, close by, and
the glare of it was bright In the win
dow by Kitty Leaford's bed. So
June saw her mother for this in
slant, clearly.
And when the lightning passed,
the girl stood still, her eyes dilated.
There had been something alarm
ing In her mothers posture, In the
way she lay along the bed.
With an abrupt movement June
turned on the light. An air-current
coming from the open window in her
own room blew her door shut with
reverberating crash; and she
leaped with dismay at the sudden
sound. But her mother had not
roused-did not move as June bent
over the bed.
Mrs. Leaford lay on her side, her
head pillowed on her left arm; her

already half asleep. The girl
turned off the light and slipped
away.
At the head of the stairs she
paused long enough to be sure the
others were leaving. She heard
someone slide the bolt on the front
door, heard Uncle Justus say:
1--we fastened it, Denman."
Then murmuring voices toward
the kitchen. They all went out that
way; and after a moment Grandpa
and Grandma Hurder returned to
go into their own room, on the
ground floor, in the east wing. Her
mothers room and her own were In
the west wing, over the big sitting
room.
A deep uneasiness possessed June.
When her own door was closed and
she was alone, she stood still, even
her eyes unmoving. It might be,
she thought, the sullen electric air
which made her thus restless and
full of vague foreboding.

eagerness. Her movements were
