Fighting the Fish Trost. Another situation has arisen since: the last session +which Cabinet lVlin- Uttens are already acknowledging as serious. That is the fishery war, The Provincial Secretary ,seemed to be the first to apprecialle the d'if- dieuity ,when he discovered one day, that though Canadian waders pro- duce tons of fish for the markets, he wee unable to purchase enough to supply the demands of the Pro- 'vincial institutions, The Provin- cial Secretary is quoted as saying that bee would make the attempt to break the American trusts which control the Canadian eupply, but it Islam's that the problem is one for Hon. Dr. Reeaume, Minister of Public Works, to'solve, and that the rea- son Hon. Mr, Hanna took it up in the first place was because he was -acting as head of that department while Dr.:Reaume was in England, Doubtless, since the: price of fish has soared, these leaders will join lien& in the campaign against the high prigas, Thp laws already stipulate that any fisherman, Canadian of Amer - scan, fishing in Canadian wa'tedns, must first anawwer the demands of the Canadian purchasers •.before 'disposing of the balance of their) catch on the American eidle: Temperance Question Too.

POPPY FIELDS OF PERSIA: Tapping the Plants to Gather the Pearl Like Drops of Juice, Round about Shiraz, as far as Ispa- han, southward to the country of the date palm, a great deal of opium is. grown, and several thousand chests are shipped from Shiraz to China and various: other large centers of the trade every season. The collecting, of the opium juice begins in June, when, the flowers having faded and the leaves fallen,: the poppy heads are ready to be bled. When the "sun stands low on the westernhorizon the men with the tools start their work, making one or two incisions in the fleshy green skin of tbe heads on the side toward the setting sun. During the cool night hours the brown, strong smelling vis- cous juice oozes out and collects in pearl -like drops oe the surface' of the seed vessel., Before the rlsing stn gains sufficient paw{,1r to dry or crystallize the sticky substance the 'gathering is , in full swing. •Stepping cnrefully from plant to plant. the men gather the opirim on the broad blades of their crescent shaped collecting knives, wbieh have an upturned backabout an inch high to prevent .the juice ,from dropping off. As soon as a knife is full it ishanded to the owner of the field or his -fore- man. who stands among the collectors to see that none of tbe precious drops ere hidden away bythe workers to in- crease their daily wages. As soon as the morning work is over the -fields are deserted' until the afternoon. when new incisions have to be made.

Now the brocaded walls of Senator Morgan's music room fairly threatened to close in and choke him, whlie the fragrance of hothouse flow- ers oppressed him strangely.

At 'Frank's faltering blanks Helen Morgan began quietly, but deftly, to carry out his instructions, placing a light gilt table Isere, a taboret there, and where it would be witbin reach of the conjurer's hand a candle or a gleaming revolver. And, though after- ward Frank .Williams could not tell how it had bappened, before tbe set- tings for his act were prepared the girl had drawn out his tale of half tragic struggle, the prosaic, bard headed fa- ther storming over the visionary, inex- plicable nature of his youngest son, the loyal mother secretly brooding over and abetting this odd chick of her lit- tle dock, his constant endeavor to learn the secrets of magic and then to secure a hearing, even the rented dress suit and the gold watuh "which had been pawned tbat very afternoon to nuy bonbons and gilded trihkets to.dis- tl'ibute among his youthful auditors. And as he finished it seemed to Helen Morgan that she stood in tbe presence 01 a struggling genius.

But he was roused from his dream by a grim faced butler, who came hur- rying after him.

In a Mayfair drawing room she sat, and beside her was a man with a monocle, 'an English accent above re- proach and a patronizing air. Of course the Morgan millions would mean the r butcrum- bling of his ancestral e g castles. Hut then the utter indif- ference of this girl irritated him even while it commanded his. admiration. "I suppose you saw Erskine In Paris, lihj. been the go over there -made by, T1.11 fife Antericnn set, i linders ni,L, 7 say it's his maulers as much es his art that got the women alt going, He never speaks during his perfortnanc"e and has the most inscrutable eyes. Never could understand why women went in so heavily for eyes. Con- jurers bore me, as a rule, but I'm cure ous to see this man." Helen Morgan hardly heard what the man with the monocle wns saying. "Erskine!" In a secret drawer of her jewel case there lay 0 card, "Frank Erskine Wil - Bums," the card of the man who had never cone back. never sent her a message infive years, the man who had forgotten! But, no; this could not he he, for the men who had promised had a ready tongue—yes, a ready' tongue, as all men had—who promised. A flutter or fans and a murmur or subdued interest announced that the lion of the evening had arrived. A quiet: inclination of the heed, a snap- ping of long, gimlet' fingers, and the performance was ander way. With ligbthing rapidity tend wonderful deft- ness the- conjurer worked, and the breathless audience -- watched, not to much the tricks es the, unsmiling, lips, the inscrutable eyes. Only ono 'person in the fashionable audience saw ` something tnore, end that a quivering, ,blue eyed girl who for one brief second had met and held l the magician's glance and seen burn- ing in those inscrutable eyes a ere` wbtch had burned there on a night five' Years before, a fire lit' centuries agone in the eyes of the world's first man— Adam. The assistant called for a ring with which.:his master would work a new trick. Mechanically Helen Morgan handed, him a magnificent hoop of pearls. Erskine took the ring gravely, raised a silver hammer and apparently smasbed the trinket into a thousand pieces on en anvil of curiously wrought silver. Then he produced a sealed me ket of water, in which swam a gold- flab, and in the mouth of tbe fish be found the hoop or pearls. But the ring' was not returned to its owner by the assistant. Instead, as the toom rang with applause, the magician himself walked quietly down the aisle, formed by the parting of many silken skirts, and placed the ring on the girl's trem- bling white hand. Not even the man with the monocle noticed that the con- jurer for an instant held the slim fin- gers in his with a pressure that threat - cued to crush them,nor did be dream that within tine girl's palm lay another ring at which ehe dared not look.
