T . R R AR D Y A R A SR _ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDA' LET Paw GO RABBIT HUNTIN® WITH Synopsis: Revenge upon Ro- land Wainwright for an insult while she was unpopular in New York society now lies within Venice Muir's reach. She has re- ttrned from Europe with a fic- titicus reputation. of conguests. She hcpes to intercst Drake Far- velly. Wainwright is intrigued by the rumors about Venice and finally proposes. Chapter 35 BRICKS AND STRAWS A half hour: ago Venice would have refused. Now she wanted to repay him for the old hurt. He didn't even realize when he had wounded, this unheeding, dazzling young man. “I' don’t know,” she murmured. “How long will it take you to know?” Roland Wainwright asked. “How can I tell, Rollo?” With an effort she raised her eyes to his face. Her curiosity to read his ex- pression overcame her shyness. He's thinking, went her mind, that a Muir whose mother was a Virginia Lee is not to be scorned, that I have plenty of money and that it would be rather nice to capture a girl who had refused to marry a marquis. #“Give me a little time,” she said and brought a vivid smile to play across her face. I'm not really being cruel, she thought. He doesn't honestly love me. He doesn't know what it is to really love. I do so want to hurt his pride the way he once hurt mine. His hands dropped from her shoulders. He patted one of her cheeks with a touch that was gen- tle Wut' quite ‘superficial, “Just ‘a’ little time, darling.” He smiled. He was sure of her. She smiled too. He left soon after this. “¥oull' go to the Charity Ball with me,” he said as they stood by the front door. It was a state- ment, not a. question. “That would be lovely,” returned Venice: Everyone would see them tegether at the Charity Ball. After that she would definitely dismiss him. Lying awake she rebelled at the vapidity of social success. It's smothering, me, she thought. T stagnate. I must do something. 'l take extension courses at Columbia.

Like ai soul strug- gling in the night. Their movement synchronized with her breathing. She dropped asleep. The telephone call that interrup- ted Venice at luncheon ‘the next day drove all thoughts of Columbia courses from her mind. There was the noisy jingle and Nora put down on the serving table a plate of:: omelette she was® passing’ to answer the: insistent ring. “Mr. Farrelly, Miss Venice.” ““Who?” asked Venice, wondering if she had h eard aright . “Mr. Farrelly.” WVenice dropped her napkin on the floor in her excited hurry. “Hello, Venice. I'm afraid I took “Who wouldn't prefer a dashing young man to an omelette?” “Right. An omelette is only so many eggs. A young man is all sorts of unknown ingredients.” She heard hif quick infectious laugh. “Would you dine with me tonight, Venice?” “rd love to.” “Excellent.

So few people did nowadays if they saw you more than once in a few months. “Shall we have a cocktail before we go? ’she asked. Tt was a sud- den inspiration from out of an un- expected shyness that was creep- ing over her. His gaze was soO analytical, so searching. She was sure he had heard something some- thing about her since they last met. “Just the thing. I thought we might try " the Lafayette, and I doubt if you can get them there. It's one of my favorite haunts. It's so un-New York; something un- hurried about it.” v “I'd love to go ‘there. I've hever been. And it's so old—almost his- toric, isn't it? But wait a minute while I see about the cocktails.” Returning to the llying-room she sab down on the foot-stool; her back to the fire, and uncomfort- ably sought for words. “1 though you were gaing: to tel- ephone me ages ago,’ 'she man- aged. “I thought so too, but I've been working like a fool on that' sky- scraper.

Lola could never resist spreading and exaggerating the flagranee of gossip. Drake’s inter- est was ensnared at last. She smiled’ gaily. ““What about?” “You. “Dont be so crytic, Drake.

Lo~ cal-halibut intrests concluded that inasmuch as their trips naturally are limited to IcyStrait, where high tides naturally curtail activities, adherence to regulations. designed for other waters not subject to tidal disadvantages would result in injury to Juneau boats without benefitting the crafts of other ports. Favor Summer Lay-off Juneau fishing interests favor a plan that is said to have the ten- tative approval of the International Fisheries Commission, namely to open the season in 1933 on January 15, instead. of February 15, as this year, and then to discontinue fish- ing about a month in the summer, when demand. for their catches is always poor. About 29 Juneau boats are en- gaged in the halibut industry. Their take is in the neighborhood of 2,00000 puunds annually. The plan proposed by the Seattle Halibut Fishing Vessel Owners’ As- sociation is to divide the combined Seattle, Prince Rupert and Alaska fleet into two sections—vessels with names beginning with letters from A to L inclusive to be known as the Blue Group and vessels with names beginning with letters from M to Z inclusive to be known as the Red Group.
