"Half-time!" Kay protested. "Ive worked till midnight ml»!!! I night!

“But many a morning come in so tired and sleew Y0“ weren't good for much before noon," he told her. "Kay, you cant run around till the 110L178 with s lot of irresponsible kids, and then be bright and eiilnink It 7°“? desk at nine." _ ~

"I suppose you'd hsveIme tuck in at seven every night!’ she ex- claimed resentiully. ' '

He hesitated and his ciao shad- owed. "I didn't mean to start an argument with you, Kay," he said. more stiffly. “What you do at night is n1 ‘dug to us, nene or our busi- ness. But. the firm has a right to expect that you'll be on lib-lid in the morning, fit and ready for the day's work."

“I haven't been lube o. dOZcn 15111168 this year." ‘ "Kay," he told her. “You were an investment, with us. On s. cost-ac- it's an expensive proposition to take s person who knows nothing of the business, and show her how the wheels gorourid)’. Kay's lips stiffened. She laughed unhappily. "This is s joke on me." she said. “Asking for o. raise when you feel this way."

He nodded. "As a matter of fact." he said, "Mr. Gould has twice urged that I let you go."

She came to her feet. white with angry pride, sick with despair. “You don't need to keep me if I'm not earning my salary," she ex- claimed. "I'll quit!"

"I don't want you to quit, Kay," Chick told her, in a friendly tone "I want you to knuckle down and earn what we pay you. You could earn a great deal more; and when you do, we'll be glad to pay it." She shook her head. in control of her emotions now. “Thank you very much," she ssid. “But I'm resign- ing! I didn't realize that l’ was such a burden. You've been very kind! Goodbye."

And she turned toward the door. He stool up quickly. “Wait, Kay," he urged. "Don't be-stiffnecked- I'm trying to help you . . "

She opened the door, and he caught her arm. "You're wrong to wslk oui: like this." he insisted.‘ "What will you do?"

She flamed at him. in a sudden blind fury. "Take your hands off ma. and let me go!"

And she twitched away from him, through the door. She caught it, jerked it shut after her with a resounding crash. She fairly ran along the office corridor to get her hat, to be gone

On the street outside, she walked "with head high and checks blazing: but her eyes burned with unshed tears, and her heart was sick. She walked for she knew not how long a. tune. in a dead despair; came home st last with leeward feet and drooping shoulders. She hurried up to her room as though she raced for sanctuary. Genev eve would riot- be there: she could alone

She found a note pinned to the door. It read:

Kay mod for only on instant. in the brlsfest hesitation. 'l'hen she darted down the stairs to the icic- one.

"Whatever are you going in Bos- ton?"

Kay's eyes filled with lcaldins tears. "Call for ms here." ‘he said. careful lest her voice break.

“You'll be ready?" '

“I wouldn't miss it for the world.’ said Kay, sud clashed the receiver back 0n the hook and fled blindly up the stairs, her eyes brimming. She threw herself across the couch that was her bed an lay there very small, shaken with sobe.

But. after s. little she sat up and dried her tears and lodired at her watch. Almost five. Genevieve would presently be here.

Kay looked at herself in the mir- ror in s. long appraisal. “You've got w b9 lovely tomorrow. Kay." flhfl whispered to her own imase i116"- “Ycur last chance, you know . . ."

She was to dine and. dance to- night with that young man nmicd Muriln, who had kissed her so clum- sily long sgo while she was still at Wellesley- She ran down to tele- phone him not to come 'here for her promised to meet him at the York Cellar where the Russians were.

to be away. It was clear to her that she could not, lust now, face Genevieve.

In the morning Kay woke early. bu; lay pretending sleep. She heard Genevieve presently rouse and rise. Later the other girl said cheerfully:

“Wake up, Kay Stir your stumps! You're due st the office in forty minutes."

Kay mumbled as though still asleep: “Got s. day oil. Don't bother me." And to Genevleves incredu- lous questions she responded so grudgingly and drowsily that in the end the other deliflrted. 18ft he! here alone. '

When Genevieve was surely gone. Kay opened her eyes and my long thought. Later wearily, she rose. Al; a few minutes past, seven when Dane blew his horn at the door, she hsd been ready for half an hour Dane came racing up the stairs, as much for the idss he seized on seeing her as to carry down her bugs. She protested 8591171

"Heavens, don't tumble me so, Dane! Here I had every single hair in place, the hat just exactly right!"

“We're driving with the top down anyway," he assured her. “The wind would do the damage if I didn't, so if. might as well be me- Ready?"

He found in her, when they were on the road, some new quality; a gayety faintly feverish; asprightli- ness Kay had never worn hereto- fore. She was usually, like so many small persons, rather composed and dignified; but. today she pulled oil her small hat. and lei. the wind have its way with her hair, and her eyes

shone and her cheeks were bri ht.

She tilted the windshield so t at. may rook the wsrm June air in their fscss; and once he laughed aloud and swung into s. wood road on the main highway and stopped the car; and when she asked why, he retorbed:

‘Necessity, Kay! Can't. drive sn- other» mile without kissing you. I've got a flask, cocktails ready mixed. Let's have one."

“Driving and cocktails don't go together. man-ks. Here!" She leaned and kissed him. llEhi-ll’. qllmklll- "Now go on!"

They cached at an Inn he knew, of! the beaten track‘. a quiet 1o.eiy spot with the waters of s. mill pond lapping st the foundations "o1 the veranda. on which their table was set; and Kay thought it beautiful and said so.

"It's one of my discoveries," he told her. "Sometimes when I want n. few quiet days I come up here - for s. week-end, say."

"A wonderful place for a. honey- moon," she remarked, noi, looking

at him.

He chuckled. "Hardly. Kill. T°° many memories. The ghosts might walk!"

After lunch Dane insisted that Kay see some of the bedrooms. The proprietor was s. motherly woman of French antecedents, on the besn of terms with Dane; so that it was clear they were old friends. Ornce or twice they even spoke French together. ‘Kay's visual knowledge of the lansuase did not help her to understand their rapid idiom", and she was uncomfortable, like one who sees two people watching her and whispering. She was even s little afraid, stirred by some deep flutter of terror. When they went on again, she felt like singing with relief to be once more upon the open road.

,Ths tender was waiting at the landing stage when they arrived; and she and Dane got in while ssll- ors fetched their luggage. Ono of the bostmen asked Dane:

“Put your car in I. mirage sir?"

(By G. mule Smith, Superintend- ent, riinental Fox Ranch, Bummer-side) . (PART ll)

mthcfirstpu-tofiliis paper the contention was brought for- wsrd that quality in the fur of silver foxes was the all important factor from a breeding standpoint, a quality independent of colour, density, life and lustre; that there might be outstanding inherent quality, yet the fur of the foxes might. be off colour, open and lack- ing life and lustre, whilst foxes might have a. favorable colour, s good density and desirable life and lustre, and still not have inherent quality, and with such foxes breed- ers were against. an impossible pro- position to make any decided im- provement in their brooding stock. On the other hand. with a favour- able inherent quality, by proper breeding and feeding methods , a continued improvement could be made and ultimately o. better colour, o. greater density and a more desirable life and lustre could be obtained than with average foxes. Evidence was presented which demonstrated that even leading fox breeders had sold‘ for s. mere song the foxes produced in their ranch with superior fur qualities and had not retained the best foxes that they had produced for breeding purposes. Also a still more serious

aspect was presented that the foxes with outstanding dnherent for qualities had been ruthlessly

pelted, which was a severe 1cm to the silver foxvlndustry as a whole. these foxes being killed off because the quality was not labelled with colour, density, life and lustre, the only characteristics that they could associate wrlth quality.

Obviously for fox breeders to make an improvement in their breeding stock, it is very necessary that they should retain for breed- ing purposes the foxes that have inherent quality that they pro- duced from year to year, and one of the most important breeding pro- blems is to recognize quality. If bor breeders have used a sysfcmstii method in mating theirfcxes am‘ have marketed their pelts in sucl s manner that they are actually aware of the market value of the pelts of the foxes raised in their ranch. they are in a better position to attack their breeding problems than those breeders who have mated their foxes in a promiscu- ous msririer and sold their pelts in a haphazard method. The evidence of where the quality lies in every ranch is in the ranch itself, and to that extent it is sh individual breeding problem for each individual fox breeder to solve for himself. There is no royal road to sliver fox ranching. and like every other sound‘ and profitable business. a. decent and honest living can only be earned by the "sweat of the brow". Fox ranching cannot be car- ried on by sittiriz in the office writing advertisements or study- ing pedigrees; pedigrees may help. but fox breeders must get in- to their ranches and study the foxes individually and take advant- age of every source of information. working in a sysv-matlc method so that all the facts associated with their foxes as available as pos- sible, so that they actually know what they are doing. If s person is conscious of his ignorance on any particular phase affecting his he gathers information on that livelihood, witiing!y or unwittingly. phase and eventually becomes well posted, but if he is ignorant of his ignorance, inevitably he will re- main ignorant. The majority of fox breeders confess to knowing noth- ing about worms. Be that as it may, the msiority have become so well versed that worms are not s menace nor sny worry to them at the present time; but a stage has been reached where the mujoriiv of fox breeders on Prince Edward Is- land and other psi-ts of Canada know more about worms than they do about foxes. It would be to the advantage of all fox breeders to realize that they have s great deal to learn about foxes-

Wheri the Experimental Fox Ranch wos established it was the agreed policy of the Department of Agriculture that the ranch should not be stocked with high-class animals, and it appears to have been s. very wise decision. It is fairly well known that the initial breeding stock at the Experimental Fox Ranch was of sn inferior standard, but a stage has been reached where high-class" animals with very desirable fur qualities are now being produced by the Experimental fro: Ranch . In the ranch there are different foxes that have produced twenty to thirty pups. Although many of

breeding purposes- thcre is not s single dmcendant of many of these foxes in the ranch at the present time. One very prolific polygsmous male produced 42 pups that were raised to maturity; while many of his offsprings were used for breed-- ing purposes for several generations, except the offsprings of one of his grand-daughters, there is not a single other descendant of this fox in the ranch. On the other hand. there is one female raised in the Experimental Fox Ranch that had st the beginning of the present pelting season, 165 living descend- ants. Probably of all the females retained for breeding purposes. this female appeared to have been judged as one that was of the most inferior_ type. I was always particularly partial to this female.

Therefore, in speaking of size we are not dealing with length. With her offspring in the same lilicr, some had coarse and strong fur, while others had relatively lino and smooth fur, without show- ing signs of being weak. With the foxes having coarse and strong fur the silver became brighter and im- proved in colour during the breed- ing season, although kept in open pang and subject t0 inclement weather went off colour during the fail months, yet invariably they im- proved in colour during January
