And the kitchen, that was the worst of a ll! She did not want to part with a thing, and yet she knew that she could take only a very few utensils to that tiny kitchenette. There was her doughnut kettle; It never in all the world would go in the miniature closet in that city flat, and to Sophranla breakfast was not complete without homemade fried cakes. And the three iron spiders hanging In the shed— how could she cook without them? And her mother’s soapstone griddle, the envy of all her friends, could she really be happy without It? “ Franklin,” she picked up the furry ball, “ can’t you help us? I did not know it would be like this— so hard to part with all the dear old things! Franklin, don’t you care a rap that I have to give up my little mahogany sewing table and the gate-legged table from Aunt Betsy and so many things? Oh, you hard-hearted pussycat, wait till you find out what cat life is In the c ity ! No big garden and no shed and cellar for a little hunting trip for m ice! And yon keep right on purring, and don’t care a bit? Oh, Franklin, if you only knew how it looks inside of me I think you’d help. I’m all torn apart, unhappy, uncertain, afraid!” Three days later Sophranla sent for Ed Wallis. He was rather surprised when she opened the door to see everything In Its usual order, nothing prepared for moving. “ Ed,” began Sophranla. “ I can’t move, and It’s on account of Franklin. I want to ask you to sell the house back to m e!” “ Nothing doing,” said Ed coolly, “ I ’m going to keep the house.” Sophranla turned pale. She had not expected this. “ But I simply can’t move—look here!” She marched ahead of him to the kitchen and there in a basket next to the stove was Franklin, plus four little newcomers! “ Oh, you could drown them easily," suggested Ed blandly. Sophranla would not answer such n cruel remark and turned her back on the speaker. But she found herself suddenly wheeled around by a pair of strong arms and a round, genial face close to hers. "So, I won’t sell yon the house, but there’s no need of your moving If you’ll take me In.” “ And your wife, would she care to board here?” “ Yon are going to be my wife,” he answered masterfully, “ and we are going to live right here.” SophraniH looked at him In astonish ment and then let her head fall com fortably on his shoulder. “ Ed, are yon saying this on the spur of the moment, or— ” "Mrs. Cooke and I planned It, So, darling.

He had not been to eee her for aenrkr two years and when So- phraala saw his round, genial face In the doorway something warmed her heart and made her feel young with happiness. “ Ooaae In, I9d.” she said almost ten derly. “Thank you.

Salmon Fleets Sail for North ‘"Windjammers” in Vanguard of Fish Hunters Include Some Famed Boats. RECORD CATCH NOT EXPECTED Many Alaska Canneries Plan to Re duce Their Pack This Year and Others May Not Open at All. Seattle Wash. — Big full-rigged “ windjammers,” some famous aa American dipper ships long ago, al ready are spreading their sails and heading for Alaska, the vanguard of summer salmon fleets which go north every year to work with the scores of flsh canneries that dot northern har bors aud Inlets. Dozens of other craft, steam“ rs, gas boats, barges aud tugs, are going north with the sailing ships. Before wiuter they will all come plowing back with this year’s fish catch canned and (tacked and stored In their holds. No record salmon catch Is expected this year, according to reports from Alaska. Most of the southeastern Alaska canneries expert to reduce their pack this year from one-third to one-half normal and several will not opernte at all. One cause for the cut is the fact that all o f lam year’s pack has not been sold. Low markets are given as another reason. Short Catch Last Year. Alaska's salmon output last yenr was 4.502,201 cases, the smallest since 1915. The high-water mark of Alaska's salmon years came in 1918, when. In response to a war call for food, the canneries gent 6,W>7,5C9 cases out. Most o f the salmon are packed In •outheastem Alaska, a strip o f terri tory that Juts south between northern British Columbia and the Pacific ocean. Last year southeastern Alaska fisheries turned out 3,108,304 cases, against 775,557 from central Alaskn and 708,280 from 'a r western Alaska points. The central Alaska plants ex tend from Cape St. Ellas westward to the Alaska peninsula. The far west ern plants are on the shores of Bristol bay and the Bering sea. About 125 salmon canneries were operated In Alaska last year by nearly ninety companies. Several big con cerns operated more than one plant, the Alnska Packers’ association lead ing with ten. Libby. McNeill & Libby were second with nine. The North western Fisheries company operated »even and the Pacific American Fish eries company four. Many from Puget Sound. Nearly all the boats o f the fishing fleets sail north from Puget Sound, altho one of the largest fleets, that of the Alaska Packers' association, makes Its headquarters In San Francisco bay. The Libby. McNeill Sc Libby nnd the Northwestern company boats winter here, the Libby boats riding in the fresh water of Lake Dnlon. The Pa cific American company operates from Bellingham. Portland. South Bend, Everett. Olympia, Astoria, Anaeortes and other ports send their share of fishing vessels north. Five or six thousand men are going north to spend the summer working at the fisheries. In the fall they will come back with the boats and the catch. For several weeks passenger steamers running to Alaska have been carrying capacity lists of caunery em ployes. The Northwestern and the Anaeortes Fisheries company, both subsidiaries of the Rooth Fisheries company, will use 1,500 men in the north this year.
