a cap. was quite out of question. 8o-
phrunia sighed as she looked at the
bookcase filled with her old friends;
they, too, were on the black Hat.
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,

"Yes,“ answered Sophranla bitterly,
“you’ve newer mowed that lawn. I'd

A few days later Sophranla had a
surprise. Bd Wallis, her old sweet

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.
