According to o n e authority, the things for which the industry and the fishermen have advocated for years are coming to pass. For instance, $200,000 has been appropriated by the Government of increase the demand 'for Canadian fisheries products. ''There is a$300,000 loan fund voted for the assistance of needy Maritime fishermen in renewing' < boats and ;year. And there is a move afoot for social improvement that will bring more beinefts to the men who go downto the sea, It looks like a new deal all round 'for the Canadian fisherman and Ms inch:att y. If the advertising now be - :tug launched by the government is successful in its objectives, those in flishing circles Claim that the Cana- • dian fishing industry will receive an impetus that will send it forward to a new and prosperous basis. And in /this the Brat to benefit will be the fisherman himself. According to the ' "Canadian Fisherman", a journal de- voted to the industry, the welfare of 'Canada's fisherman is recognized by all in the industry as of primary im- -portance. With the increased popu- larity of fish and greater consump ; tion of it by their fellow citizens, the fishermen of Canada are looking for - 'ward to an era of better conditions laird more prosperity than have been i`:theirs for years.

When Mr. Ramill rather hesitating- ly •followed Garth to the hanging legs of moose, he saw a thfee:foot stub - tailed wildcat with black -tufted ears lying under a torn shoulder of moose meat. A second cat, slightly larger, had ieaped 'several yards away before dropping. Garth drew his knife. "Only a pair of lynx. Not much for two shots. We haven't any cartridges to throw away. But we can use the skins, and the meat will make a change from moose." "Cat meat?" "Revolting, isn't it?" said Garth, "There are Indian tribes who will no More eat fish than you'd eat snake.

She gazed up at hien, stormy- eyed, ready to flare if he had sho`m the slightest flicker of amusement or gloating. Instead, he gave her a curt nod of acknowledgement, laid his knife be- side the liver, and turned to space the poles across the sapling frame- work :to make a grill above the smudge. Upon this he laid the moose leg and the pieces of lynx meat, Huxby came back from the disc„v- ery stake with the gold pan and little aluminum pot. He stared in surprise at sight of Miss Ramill cooking the Liver. She, shrugged her slim shoul- der, and drew back from the fire to give one spit to her father. After that site silently offered the other to. Garth" "'hank you," he said. "Let me suggest that you now fill the gold pan with water and slice into it_one of .the muffles. They don't look promising, But if simmered for a day or two, a single moose muzzie will give us sev- eral eweral delicious meals of what might be called aspic jelly." This won no sign of interest from the girl. She was no longer hungry. Garth ignored her silence. "After starting that dish, you may cook as much more of the liver as your father can eat. He will keep on resting while Huxby and I go for an- other load of moose meat. The soon- er we pack all to camp, the surer we will be that other mouths do not get away with it." '• He unbuckled his pack, slung the pack -board on his back, and picked up his rifle and belt ax. Huxby trailed after him out of camp. They walked in Indian file all the way around to the muskeg smamp, Huxby with his gaze fixed coldly upon the back of his leader. Garth, waiked noislessly, glancing ahead and from side to side with the alertness of a woodsman. In one of the open glades he pointed to the ripe fruit of black currant bushes. Far- ther on he stepped around a big por- cupine, which, at his approach, had coiled in a quill -bristling ball. °. Huxby picked up a stone, only to drop it and walk around the inoffen- sive beast. In at least one respect he resembled Garth; he was not a wan- ton killer, At the swamp Garth cut a tote -pole and passed . it through the tendons of two hindquarters of moose. The remaining quarter he strapped to his pack -board. H e folded the second lynx skin for Huxby to use as a shoulder pad. Upon it the mining en- gineer rested his. end of the tote -pole. Though Garth had no pad, he stood up with the moose quarter on his back and lifted' his end of the pole to his shoulder. But he was accustomed to packing. He bore the meat on his pack -board and his half of the two quarters on the pole with as little difficulty as Huxby toted the other end of the pole. By walking behind his tote mate, Garth kept in step with him. As they neared .the camp, the sun slanted down behind the high mountain to the northwest. Garth noted the sweat on the engineer's swollen face and his unsteady steps. "We'll chance those forelegs until tomorrow. You can call it a day, soon as we get this meat on the smoke rack." "It's enough to last a year." Garth made no reply . The engin- eer would learn soon enough how much flesh four persons can eat when they have no other food. Miss Ramill and her father were out gathering wood. At one end of the fire, thick smoke was rising from 'green sticks and, leaves; at the other end, the pan of sliced muffle was boiling hard. After he and Hux- by had lifted the moose quarters up- on the rack, Garth brought water in the alaniinusn pot and cooled down the stew of simmering heat. Miss Ramill had much to learn about the culinary art. He set on a potful of water and went into the brush leanto to unroll his camp pack. Wrapped in the sin- gle six -point Hudson's Bay blanket were three waterproof pouches and a large tin cup. When he backedout, the pouches were hidden under the thick layer of dry moss at the, head of. theoutspread blanket. He shook something -froth the cup into the boiling pot of water. The girl and her father came with more wood.: Garth pulled the pot from the fire with a forked willow branch. "Good -work, all. What d'you say to a cup of tea?" Even Huxby livened : at the word. Miss Ramill actually smiled. "Teal Really?" "I had a little with my camp kit. Thought it might come in well just now." "Will it! You've said something. Not a 'thing all day long except' that liver! No real food or drink;—' not even a single cocktail!" He tipped some of the 'seething drink into the cup and handed it to her. "Dip in enough water to cool it off." She came back from the rill with- out her smile. "Where's the cream and sugar? This stuff tastes as vile as that black brew in the tin kitchen' looked." "The cow has strayed. It's too bad. But perhaps, the rest of us: can. take ours 'straight." She was so aecustoned to liquor. that she craved a stimulant. The tea might lessen that craving. She pul- led a wry face and gulped down the bitter drink. Garth refilled the cup for her father, who drank it eagerly. The pouring for • Huxby emptied the pot.

You'll have a cleaner house -no dust, no soot, no smoke. And you'll have a warmer house because there's less waste in this fuel—every shovelful produces the maxi- mum heat.

RODUCT COKE OVENS, LIMITED HAMILTON, CANADA COKE NOT A SUBSTITUTE BUT A FUEL PREFERRED BY THOUSANDS OF USERS Asa result of actual experi- ence in their own homes, winter after winter, it is to be noted that more and more house- holders are realizing that coke stands 'on its own merits as the ideal fuel. -' This is not a new fact. For scores of years it has been known that coke has certain advantages not to be found in other hard fuels. By heating coal to a tremendous heat, gas and tar oils are driven off. The result is that while only 62% of bituminous coal is fixed car= bon, the carbon content of coke is more than 88%. Repeated usage has shown that there is no finer coke on the market than Hamco Coke, made in Canada by the most modern, scientific process. When you consider that Hamco Coke costs considerably less per ton than any other hard fuel of .comparable value, the monthly savings in your own home are obvious. Fuel experts say: "Stop think- ing about coke as a low-priced substitute. Irrespective of price, it is the perfect fuel.

You don't have to go to a night-club to be stung." Huxby forced a smile and felt at a particular sore cluster of bites on the back of his neck. Mr. Ramill cast a wistful glance towards the leanto. "I presume, Lilith, you will prefer not to share the hut with me. Per- haps I can manage out here beside the fire, like Vivian." J"No," Garth differed. "You'll sleep under that blanket until you have I hardened into shape, and you'll turn in now. It's been a big day for you." The girl bridled. "How about my wishes—and the proprieties?" "We'll leave that to you," Garth replied. "If you consider it unproper to share the blanket with your fath- er, you're welcome to sit up and help me grain these moosehides." Iluxby stiffened.
