Mr. Flnley In a member of the lend ing ornithological societies of the I'nlted States, an otlicer of the Na tional Association of Auilobon Socle ties and Intimately acquainted with the eminent nntiirallsts of the world. Ills correspondence with John Bur roughs, Bradford Torrey, Frank Chapman, Herbert K. Job, F.rnest Thompson Set on and Dallen Lore Sharp form an Interesting Inter change of experience and Mean that would make entertaining reading. When ex-President Koosevelt made his last trip to Portland, Mr. Fluley was the only man in Portland who had access to him, by special appoint ment. This acquaintance with Mr. Roosevelt began just before the Afri can expedition, when Mr. Flnley was called Into conference relative to the character of cainara that could be best used for photographic purposes on their trip. Thin conference Includ ed a journey to Harvard College, where Mr. Fluley spent oonslderable time with Kermlt Roosevelt, who was afterward selected as official photographer for the Koosevelt ex pedition. Many people of t his State are not a ware that It was through the rec onimend'ttlonn of Mr. Flnley that President Koosevelt net aside the game reserves In Oregon known as the Klamath, Malheur and Three Arch Kocks reservations. Later, an appropriation was made by Congress to warden these reserves. The pur pose of these reservations Is to pro tect the birds from plume and market hunters.

The Importance of thin Interest In apparent to all resi dents of the State. The sportsmen and naturalists of the L'nlted Staten will watch the work of the new State (iame Warden of Oregon with peculiar Interest as It U the first Instance In this country of a leading scientist being appointed to that position. Naturally, there fore, considerable change In policies In expected. "The policy of the State (iame War den In the past," said Mr. Flnley "has been characterized very largely by policing. The belief has been gen eral thst Oregon has enough game and that Its protection Is all that Is necessary. An a matter of fact, game cannot be made abundant by making and enforcing lawn. We have not enough game, and, in spite of pro tectlng what we huve. we observe that there Is less every j-ear.

Sowerbv, There Is a suiull lslund called Tory, ou the coast of Ireland, about which hank's ninny a picturesque, legend. The Islander are all fishermen. Iu olden times Tory was a lonely place and a bard place to get to and from. No priest lived there. The Islanders were all oh1 Cut holies, and not to ha v. a priest handy to baptize them, to inarry them and to shrive them subjected them to constant trials. The only su red thing they had was the "nun's grave." Long ago during a storm the body of a nun was washed up on the Inland. That was the first time the people there saw a nun'a babit. The leathern girdle and beads made them think that there was some thing sacred about the body. They prayed to be instructed what to do with it, and a Tolce told them that it was the body of a holy nun and they must bury it where they had found it They did so, and to this day not a boat ever puts out to flsh without a handful of earth from the "nun's grave" to pre serve the fishermen from drowning. Many years ago there lived on Tory Island a young fisherman named Fer gus Tyrone and a fisher lass named Eileen O'Connor. They were a simple couple, growing up In a small compass and loving each other with that fer vor which is to be found In those who live lives close to nature. They were of the same age, having both been born on St Patrick's day. Fergus, though but twenty years of age at the time the incident I am about to narrate took place, was a hardy young fellow and, however stormy the weath er, never feared to go out to flsh In his boat when any other craft was on the water. But Eileen- did not fear for him, because she would never let him go without first taking a handful of earth and, after praying the holy nan to protect him, depositing It In the stern of his boat This simple couple wished to be married on their twentieth birthday, which was St Patrick's day, of course, and Fergus had induced a priest from the mainland to agree to come over on that day and marry them. Fergus was to row over in his boat early in the morning of the wed ding day, take the priest to the island and bring him back after the cere mony had been performed. Several days before St Patrick's day the lovers began to watch the sky for Indications of what the weather would be. They feared it might be stormy and the priest would not come over, and if they could not be mar ried on that St. Patrick's day Eileen, whose heart was set on celebrating their birthday, their wedding day and St. Patrick's day together, was re solved that they must wait till the next anniversary, which would be a year. So as the days grew less before the appointed wedding day they watched every weather sign in the heavens and prayed constantly for smooth waters that there might be no trouble in bringing the priest over to marry them. But, whether, as Fergus be lieved, he had omitted some penance that he should hare done or, as Eileen believed, she had not prayed often enough, on the evening of the 10th of March a dark cloud appeared In the west and a wind began to rise. In the morning, though the water was quite rough, Fergus Baid he would go over and see if the father wouW come with him. So, while be went for the oars, Eileen brought some earth from the "nun's grave," dropped It In the boat with a prayer, and Fergus, returning, started for the mainland. Ue found the good father resolved not to go with him. lie might be oblig ed to remain a long while on the Is land, and what would his flock di in the meanwhile without him? But I'll marry you all the same. Fergus, my boy," he said. "Go back to Eileen, and when it Is noon come down to the shore. I will go out oa to the Hornhond and read the service.. "But how shall we know what you are saying?" nsked Fergus. Then the priest told him that when the service was beguu fire would be lighted. At another part another Are would be lighted, and so on till a given number of fires denoted that the serv ice was finished and the couple had been pronounced man and wife. Fergus, overjoyed, started back for the island. The wind had risen, and. Eileen, who stood wntchlng on tho shore, feared that every wave woAild overturn the boat. When it camenear enough for her to see that the priest was not in It her heart misgave herA but even before Fergus had made last be toM her of how they were to, be married nfter all. Shortly before the noon houc.-a wed ding party stood on the shor of Tory Island watc hing tor a Bra on Horn head, a prohvttng palm of rock on the mainland. When they saw a flame I burst forth tliey uncovered and knelt and watched caerlv for the next fire. which was to miuk a new part of the ervtee.
