BIG CATCH OF
5EAL5KINS IS
DUE this YEAR

WASHINGTON, May Is The
United States hopes to take $4,000
or more sealskins this year III seal
ing operations starting on the
PrIbilof Islands about June %.
Dr.. Ira N Gabrielson, Director
Of the Interior Departments Fish
AID Wildlife Service, said today
that only $4,000 skins were taken
last year. He said that this was
due in part to the fact that many
OF the seals reached their northern
rockeries too late for their pelts to
be in prime condition.
AS of late August, the Pribilof
seal herd numbered slightly less
than 100000 animals, more than
80 per cent of all the fur seals in
the world, the department said.
Under an international agreement
the herd is managed exclusively by
the United States and proceeds are
apportioned between the U. s. and
Canada. The United States receives
80 per cent and Canada 20 per
cent of the furs taken.
ST. LOUIS, May l5-A 30-man
expedition to conduct sealing OPP
'erations in the Pribilof Islands in
the Boring Sea will leave here in
June, the Fouke Fur Company has
announced.
The men will remain in the is
lands two months and all opera
tions are under the protection Of
the armed forces.

CHAPTER THIRTY.FIVE

On Lucienne Thayer's wedding
day, even the weather conformed to
Thayer standards: Crisp and clear,
with hint Of frost in the morning,
and q golden sun at noon.
In the big house, Lucienne was
sitting up in bed, a shell-pink satin
bedjacket over her shoulders, q
pink ribbon in her gold hair, break
fasting as heartily as . young
peasant.
In the Thayer hospital, DR.. Ralph
Kramer was on clinic duty.
In his fat on Fish Wharf alley,
Johnny Sermalino had been fight
ing with his wife, Carman-and
was debating now whether to show
up at the plant today.
Howard Thayer was supremely
happy, because his child was happy.
He opened the door of Lucienne's
bedroom and stood there, smiling
tenderly at her. Lucienne. .. He
thought Of her mother, the vivacious
little French girl he'd loved so wild.
ly. "Be happy, Lucienne, my dar-
ling. Be happy and safe forever"
Gall was spending the morning
at the Thayer house, helping Agnes
who had gone to pieces. Gail took
on the burden Of directing the ca
terers, the florists, the photogra-
pher -.
Reyna was ensconced in the IL
brary, delegated to answer all tele-
phone calls and open last-minute
presents. "Now don't worry about
me, Gail. / feel fine"
Actually she was responding
beautifully to treatment. Gail had
great hopes that the anemia would
be checked completely.
Reyna opened q white box and
took out q huge crystal ashtray
with the monogram LTK. 81 hope
you get half as much loot ct your
wedding" she said, as she jotted
down the sender's name in the we'd
ding book.

up and see Lucienne before / 20

marked tartly. agnes has been
lowering around her all morning.
She feels constrained TO give Lu-
eienne the Facts Of Life-and she's

Gail was living in her little stucco
house on Lannock Drive, and she
went back there TO dress for the
wedding. The place was almost
empty now, most Of her things
moved out. By tomorrow night
she'd be in her new surroundings.
Her bedroom looked bare and
lonely.
On the cedar chest lay a letter
she'd written 10 Burke. Its fnality !
would hurt him, at first. But he'd |
get over It
Slowly she bathed and dried her
self. She donned the black gabar-
dine suit and q new frilly white

practically blaekmailed her into
buying. She fastened the moon

black hat on her head.
When Stephen arrived, carrying
q box of yellow-brown orchids, his
eyes told her that the results were
more than satisfactory.
Lucienne made an exquisite bride.
As she walked slowly up the aisle,
Gail whispered to Steve, "She's like
the princess in every child's fairy
tale"
"She's . nice kid" Steve Anur-
INJURED. "She's got good stuff in her,
under the spoiled, Princess Royal
veneer"
Lucienne had no attendants. This
was her day, her hour, and she had
wanted no one to impinge on It.
But II this were a great day for
Lucienne, it was a greater day for
Ralph Kramer, now marrying into
the Thayer familyl What more
could life give himi
You could see by the squareness
Of his shoulders in the correct morn
ing coat, the lift of his heavy, pug
nacious chin and the oblique glance
Of his eyes as he came toward Lu-
cienne that he was taking It all in
the crowded pewy, the envious
glances.
After the bride and groom had
left the church. Gsfi held Stephen
back q moment. "let's wait until
your father leaves. IL haven't the
courage to face him."
"You don't need courage" Ste
phen asserted. Take O lesson from
Ralph"
Heaven forbid" she declared.
They took a taxi to the Thayer
house, which was already overflow
ing with guests.
A Strauss waltz drifted through
the air now. Lucienne and Ralph
looked at each other, and without
word, Lucienne moved into his
arms.
Gail watched them dancing. And
she thought: Ralph really loves
her
Suddenly there was a slow, roll
ing sound in the distance, like far
of thunder. Gail heard it and paid
no attention, nor did Steve who was
standing with her in the vast hall.
Howard Thayer, summoned by a
servant to the telephone, passed
them on his way TO the library.
When he came out, almost imme-
diately, the expression on his face
was so shocking that Gail cried,
"Howard-what's happened?"
He looked at her, as II he did not
really see her. There's been an
explosion at the plantl"
"Good heavensl" Gail cried.
"That must have been the thunder
we heardl"
They've already called the hos
pital. Ambulances are on the way"
Howard turned 10 Steve. "Is your
father here?"
"No. He and Amos Niles went
