But MacRae could feel the quick beat of Betty's heart. There was a strange madness stir ring in him, His arm tightened about her. He felt that she yielded easily, as if gladly. Their mouths sought and clung tn the first real kins Jack MacRae had ever kn And then, as they relaxed that im. pulse-born embrace, the lights flashed on. MacRae and Betty circled the polished floor silently. Then the music ceased, and they were swept into a chattering group. out of which presently matértalized another partner to claim Retty. So they parted with @ emile and « pod. MacRae to retreat post haste to Squitty Cove, Betty to spend her days dreaming and wondering. In early June MacRae was deliv. ering 18.000 salmon a week to the Terminal Fish company. He was paying 40 cents a fish, more than any troller in the Gulf of Georgia had ever got for June bluebacks, more than any buyer had ever paid before the opening of the canneries heightened the demand. He was clearing nearly a thousand dollars a Week for himself, and he was putting unheardof sums in the pockets of the fishermen. “If somebody else offered 60 cents you'd sell to him, wouldn't your’ MacRae asked a dozen of them ait- ting on the Bluebird’s deck one aft- ernoon. They had been talking about canneries and competition. “Not if he was boosting the price up just to make you quit, and then cut it in two when he had every- thing to himself.” one man said. “That's been done too often.” “Remember that when the canner. tes open, then,” Mackae said dryly. “There in not going to be much of a price for humps and dog salmon this fall. But there is going to be a scramble for the good canning fish. I can pay as much as salmon are worth, but I can’t go any further. If I should have to pull my boats off in mid-season you can guess what they'll pay around Squitty.” MacRae was not crying “wolf.” The Folly Bay cannery opened five days in advance of the sockeye sea won on the Fraser. When the Gower collecting boats made their first round MacRae knew that he had a fight on his hands. Gower, it seemed to him, had bared his teeth at last. MacRae ran the Blackbird into Squitty cove one afternoon and made ‘fast alongside the Bluebird. The | gulf outside was speckled with troll- ers. One of the mustard pots was there, a nquatty 50-foot carrier painted a | gaudy yellow—the Folly Bay house color, She was loading fish from two | troliers, one lying on each side. One up. “He came In yesterday afternoon lafter you left,” Ferrara told Jack. “And he offered forty-five cents. Some of them took it. Today he's paying fifty and hinting more if he has to.” MacRae laughed. “We'll match Gower’s price till he boosts us out of the bidding,” he said. “And he won't make much on| his pack if he does that.” | “Say, Folly Bay,” Jack called carrier, “what are you paying for blue- backs?” The skipper took his eye off the tallyman counting in fish. “Fifty cents,” he ‘answered tn a voice that echoed up and down the| Cove. \ | That must sound good te the! |fishermen,” MacRae called back | pleasantly. “Folly Bay's getting | generous In its declining years.” (Continued Tomorrow) THE WORST PUN “Funny thing happened the other day,” related Jones, “I was in one of those near-beer places and ab- sentmindedly asked for @ manhat tan cocktail.” |nuts, because they are so dry * “The university girls in the early days hadn't so many week- end trips as the girls have now,” continued Mra. ——-, “but they had a lot of tun. “One vacation trtp they often made was out to Lake Washing: ton.” “That tent @ real trtp, ts itt questioned David. “That's just like going down town.” “It may be like going down town now, but it wasn’t then. It was a long, bumpy, hard trip. The stage went twice a week, and the stage, David, was an old wagon with no eprings at all, two bard erate and a pair of old poky horses to pull tt up the long hilla and dows the long, uneven slopes over which the rough read wound. “It took four oF five hours at best to make the trip from First ave. and Madison to MiGiivra's landing, and the poor old horses could make the trip over the awful road only once a day, so the stage went one day and re turned the next. “Then, if they wanted to cross the lake they had to get an Indian to take them In a canoe or wait for regular boat days. The boat ran only on Tuesdays and Thurs- days—a trip a day each way. “I remember one time when a party of univernity girls went to Snoqualmie falla with their boy friends and some married folks. ken OF att Nancy and Nick and Ftippety- Flap, the fairyman, were hidden in a tree-top in the jungle, listening.
