f the bay to locate the markers within which it is illegal to fish. The boat is seen to be well witl.n the markers, so the Fairchild swings nto the wind and sideslips to a anding beside the anchored boat, to which a lone fisherman has by now brought his still-flopping load of fish.
 Conversation between a vii d = life Agent and the fisherman is al- most painfully polite.

 When was that?"
 "Oh. it must have been an hour ago. Maybe hour and half"
 "These fish are still Hopping"
 They'll do that for a long time. That doesn't mean anything"
 What kind of gear have you got here?"
 "Oh, it's perfectly legal. That's a gill net'
 What were you doing heading out of the mouth of the stream when we came along?"
 Well, after took these fish on a drift over wonder, I ran up here tc have look around"
 You mean you pushed that load of fish up into the stream with your little skiff?"
 Can't a man just come in to have a look around? I've done it lots of times'
 Let me tell ycu, Oscar, you're on pretty thin ice Now lets go ever the whole thing"
 Suspect Weakens They go ever it and the fisher man signs a statement detailing his movements from the time he made the drift until the plane drop ped in on him. The Agent checks the license plate on the boat, the fisherman's license and inspects the 1 net and the fish.
 By this time the fisherman is 1 protesting: You guys are always 1 picking up us little fellows. The big fellows get away with it right along"
 1 Not this year, brother" The fisherman is told to come ] into Juneau under his own power to face charges of fishing in a clos ed area. He comes in the following day, having thought it all over tc the extent that he pleads guilty and pays a fine of $100. It will be a while before he'll poach again, es- i pecially while planes are in the air No Fun The Fairchild is off again. Whilf the methodical patrolling continues the arresting Agent explains what is perfectly obvious by this time to the reporter, that it is no pleasure to have to arrest a man for violat- ing the fishing regulations, but that only in this way can the viola ter be taught to respect the law and the salmon escapement be pro tected. The plane passes Pack Creek and gains altitude over Windfall Har- bcr to cross Admiralty Island. In a few minutes it is high over Has, selDorg and Thayer Lakes and is heading down a long divide toward Fishery Point on Chatham Strait. Along the west coast of Admiral ty, fish traps appear to be located at regular intervals mile apart The plane flies low over each trap tc show how on a Sunday flight il it possible tc see whether spillers arc open as required by the regtla. tions.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

VERNON STONE met Ylena at
LaGuardia field. He grabbed her
arm and led her through the wet
snowstorm, to his own machine, a
chauffeur-driven town car. He
tucked a robe about her feet and
knees, directed his driver. and they
began the slow trip, over slippery
pavements. into the city.
The girl looked out the mois-
ture-webbed window into early
morning darkness and shivered
~cay before yesterday I was wear
ing a short-sleeved dress, playing
badminton with Terry. He sent you
his regards" Turning. she faced
the dreary-faced attorney. How
are you. anyway. Vernon ?"
Tired Very tired. But that's to
be expected with all the added
work I've been doing for Mrs. Vim
cent"
I've always been surprised that
she retained you after that scene in
the park"
Stone grunted with distaste.
"She probably did because she
knew l didn't care. l bearded her
in her den, you know, and told her
everything, handed 1t to her in my
best courtroom manner, Jolt after
Jolt. Purposely. Cruelty. And then l
told her | was resigning. She said.
oh, shut up, Stone! You're cluck-
ing like an old woman. But that
was the beginning. She couldn't
dismiss what l had told her She
began keeping tab on Theodore,
day and night, week after week,
and she learned 1 had told the
truth. When she was convinced he
was thoroughly dishonorable, she
began to worry about Carlyle. The
doctors proceeded to frighten her
still further-and then she thought
of you"
Ylena shook her blond head In
credulously. Il find it hard to be-
lieve she has finally forgiven me-"
"She hasn't forgiven you. She's
too obtuse to do that even II she
knew yoi were perfect. You're SIM
ply the lesser OF two evils So let
me warn yoG, my dear. to be very
careful at this meeting. Much de-
ponds on it." Carefully he studied
her face. i've never seen you look
Ing better, which is a good thing
And that's a very becoming frock.
DO you happen to have a white col
lar in your luggage?" She gave a
negative shake Of her head. Vernon
Stone said. Then we'll buy one
somewhere on the avenue before

lar on that simple gray wool dress
would make a very Quakerish per.
son of you. I've often dressed
women that way for the witness
stand. Saved them, too"
Then save me. Vernon" she said
in a sober, strained voice. After a
moment she said, strangled laugh
in her throat, do you think shell

Vernon said dryly. IF she does
she II have about the same luck shC

words she had just uttered. Stone
tapped his fingers against her
wrist. Its a natural emotion.

pected to feel sorrow. But let's not
talk anymore about 1t. Let's get
you settled in your hotel, have a
NICE long breakfast to kill time, go
shopping for a collar You might
even have facial just to look
more beautiful than you do al
ready. and then Wen make an ap-
pointment to see Mrs. Vincent"
And Carlyle ?"
Stone gave a doubtful twist OF
the head. II don't know, my dear"
"Oh, Vernon. surely she intends
to let me see her." She was fighting
tears.
Il think so-just don't make
plans, Ylena."

tried unsuccessfully to break
through years Of chill she led them
toward the door Of Mrs. Vincents
suite.
Stone felt the girls tightly ner-

they followed Beulah along that
gloomy lane OF ponderous doors

rooms. Only one door was open
