She had taken everything of value that he had given her, and she had teft behind her wedding ring. The window was wide open to the morning sunshine, and Nicholas lift- ed his arm and flung the ring fnto the street. He thought ‘again 'of the English country-side very much as a man dying of thirst in the desert will think oi water. If there was a boat home he would go by it. There was nothing to keep him in a country that had no more use for him; the thought put new tife into him. WENTY-FOUR “hours "Iater he was watching New York fade nto the sunshine behind him. There had been nobody to seée him off. He had registered under his own name but even that had not seemed to arouse much curiosity, so quickly was he fading:from memory: He stood staring out-over the'sea, at the receding skyscrapers and the statue of Liberty which was grow- ing' ‘every ‘moment in perspective more like a dumpy wagon. When he could no longer distin- gulsh her 1n the misty distarice he turned and went down to his cabin. The' steward ‘was there, unstrap- ping his luggage. Nicholas frowned. : “All right, leave it,” hie sald short- ty. The man stood up. “Anything 1 can do for you, Sir—?" “Yes, leace me alone.” How tired he was. He sat down 6n ‘the side of his bed and stared down at his lame leg. The doctors had told him he was lucky mnot to have lost it. Overhead and all around was noise and bustle—voices calling, the thud of heavy luggage. Nicholas felt himself to be far removed from it all. He was travelling on this boat because there was no other way to go home, but he was something hpart—the world had passed him by. Someone knocked at his “cabin dpor; he heard it but He gave mo sign, and the knock was répeated. Nicholas frowned—*“Who is 1t?* ‘The door opened timidly tin f¢| was wide enough to show the slim figure of a girl who stood there with & Bunch ot flowers in her-band. :When she ‘saw Nicholas, she ‘smiled, and there was ne trace of Hogror, or even cf pity in the smile, although she must have seen the thing that had made Bernie wince and turn away. Nicholas did not move, and she eams a step further, holding out the flowers. “Do you mind? I thought you would like them,” she said. E made no offer to take them, & and she laid them down on the little table between them. “I'm zoing home too,” she said. She was young and slender with ‘a sort of elfin ook that made Nich- olds think once ‘again of English country-side. Apart from that she was not at all pretty, or was it that he had forgotten what nataral beduty was like? N Her hair was soft brown, and & lit: tle untidy, hangltig to ber shoulders {in loose curls, and she wore a short dark skirt, and a scarlet jacket. Bad- A New Serial by Ruby M.

He stood up, wineing'a Httle ats sudden pain. “Is your ‘cabin on this deck?” he asked. She shook her head. “No. I'm down below; it's cheaper.” “In that case,” he sa'd harshly, “there is'mo need for you to visit this deck in future, is there?” The smile died on her elfin face, and 'for, a moment she.seemed dt'a He stared out over the water. loss for words, then she said uncer- tainly, “I'm not going to bother you. 1 don't want your autograph or any- thing, but I've always loved you so in ‘the pictures.” “I've done with the pictures.” Damn the girl! Was there no way of ‘making her see that she was un- welcome? 4 She nodded, her eyes serious. “I know. It made me cry when I heard,” she said. But there was still nothing in her eyes but wistful interest. Nicholas tried again. “Your friends will be wondering where you are,” he said meaningly. She laughed at that. “I haven't any friends on the boat. I'm travel fing =alone.” S “I'prefer travelling alone,” he said ghortly. g {'For a moment she stared at him uncomprehendingly, then she said slowly. “Do you mean that you don't want to talk to me?” “That is exactly what I have been trying to convey.” . ¢ “Oh—" For a moment she looked burt, then she smiled agajn. “I'm sorry. I expect you're tired. I didn't mean to bother you.” As the girl turned to go, Nicholas picked up her roses and without & glance at’them, flung them througt the open port.

There might [got an even break with the traps.| 1s Difficult Problem The ‘Comniissioner frankly ad- mitted that the problem is a dif- ficult one. A’ rather unfortunate dondition applies’ to ' the ‘fishing industry here, he safd. The season lasts but six weeks, and the fish- ermah wants to earn enough in that time to live on *hroughout the entire year. On the other hand the canmers are engaged In a competitive busi- ness. Their product must compete left' practically everybody in the On the open market with other, \ foodstuffs.

That had not bzen recognized in the recent past, he !'declared. He cited instances of the closure of seining grounds, the trend during the past few years of diminishing seine-caught fish and lincx'easlng percentages of trap- |fish in the Alaska pack. He Tre- jected the idea that the reduction in seine fish used was due to the regulations that have stopped the | Puget Sound seiners from fishing here. “About the only place left the seiner can catch fish is in closed arcas and out of traps, and I am |not ready to say how much comes | from either,” he declared. | Season Is Short | He pointed out that the six- weeks' fishing season at current prices makes it impossible for the fishermen to earn enough to live on throughout the year. And though the season calls for six weeks fishing, actually the 'seiners get fish for only about two weeks due to the lateness of the runs throughout Southeast ‘Alaska. He said canners at Sitka, Port paying one and one-half cents for + humphbacks. On that basis the averagé earnings ‘per boat would be $500. At Ketchikan, he said, the price was five cents, making the average earnings $1,500. Manifestly, after paying for oil and geaf, it was not possible for the fishermen to live on their earnings. Offers No Suggestion He said he had no suggestion to offer for a solution. That he left to. the Commissioner, confident, *“If we should have a Commissioner who is intelligent and who is truly independent, and who has the cour- age and conviction to do what is right the poverty in Southeast Alas- ka will soon be over.” He admitted the present trend is toward humanizing the regulations. ‘He asserted the Alaska fisherman is the “forgotten man.” “The Re- publicans have taken away from, us 15,000,000 fish a year and if the Democrats won’t do anything about it, the ‘new deal' is all bunk,” he asserted. Mr. Paul's description of the poverty stricken conditions among the Indians was hot exaggerated, declared Rev. Webster, ‘of Sitka. He told of funds expended by His’ own church and the Russian Or- thodox church there last winter. Most ‘of the children have develop- ed ricketts during the past three tion in seine-caught fish was caus- &d by ‘the ruling that put the big Puget Botund ‘Seiners out 'of ’busi- ness in the Territory. This regula- tion, he ‘said, kept 195 bok'ts out of Alaska waters that had in Tormer years caught millions of fish. They were ncn-resident fishermen Who. didn’t leave as much money in ‘the Territory as a fish trap does. Any one of 'them, he added, caught three ‘times ‘as many fish as ‘any Indian boat. He declared he was today having difticulty in ‘obtaining Indian labor. He had arranged fo hire 20 workers from Hoonkh ‘dtid was able to ‘get but stk. He warits to put on two, seine bdats and can't get them Here ‘or at Hoonah. BEll Asks ‘Question ‘ThHe Commissioner asked if any one had'afly information about a practice reportéd to him as com- mon by which ¢anners bought seine fish early and late during the sea- son, ‘When runs were slack and fish hard to get, but refused to buy from or limited the seiners during the peak ‘of the runs. “If this s true, it séems to me to be unfair. It doesn't indicate a truly balanced operation. It'is not just he ‘can't catch them and refuse to 'declared frankly. Thé solution seemed to be that they must en- gage in some other industry when ltl':ey are not fishing. However, he jconcluded, “I am going to consider ithe human elements. The people here have a right to live, to the opportunity to earn a living.” He asked for continued co-operation and sald he would at all times 'be open and frank about what he was doing and just why ‘he does it. Nc Trolling Closure He assured the trollers they could fish the year around. Any man who baits a hook and goes out to catch fish to earn his living has the right to do it all the time, and as far as Commissioner Bell is concerned he is going to have, the chance to do it.
