Jim remembered that he had not yet asked Nat whether he knew of the identity of the mysterious Fishlock, but decided to wait till they reached better grourd before doing so.

He did not envy those men crawling on the floor below. He felt sure that if they had known of the astonishing quantity of broken rock which littered the place, they would never have risked an advance through it. Another thing that made 50o Out.

Have you been in to the end?" f "I never been in, but an old chap, a ‘arkee‘ something he called himself, came to the ranch one day and told us about it. If you go in, go cautious." Jim went cautious, but all the same, he was nearly trapped. The slope grew steeper, and the floor changed to a mass of looss rubble. Suddenly he was on the rim of a black pit; one more step, and nothing could have saved him. He lit ancther match and saw the pit dropping apparently to the very bowels of the earth. He looked around and noticed a rock "We‘ve You stay go in a round." they don‘t mean us to get out alive." Jim was silent for a while. He was thinking hard, and the more he thought the more uncomfortable he felt. The moon would set about two, and then there would be no light for shooting. And with odds which were probably three to one his chance and Nat‘s were slim. There was no possible hope of help from the ranch, for no one except Joan knew where they were ,and it would not occur to her that fthey could have been ambushed in this fashion. If they were to get out with their lives from this trap they had to do it themselves. The urgent question was whether this was possible.

Tt makes enforcement cof the laws quite a bit Announcement was made last week at Toronto by D. J. Taylor, Deputy Minister of Game and Pisheries, that preosecution _ would immediately be launched against the killing of the huge golden eagle credited last week to the marksmanship of Howard Wright Managing Director of the London Airâ€" port, London. The bird was taken near Ingersoil, and measured 6 feet 4 inches from wingâ€"tip to wingâ€"tip. According to press reports Wright had to shoot the great bird four times to bring it down. Eagles have been on the protected list, under the game laws, for several years now, and in the opinion of the Game and Fisheries Department the cnly way to make that clear to the sporting public is to prosecute offenders to the full limit of the law. With regard to the photograph of Mr. Wright and his kill which appearâ€" ed in The Globe anrd Mail, Mr. Taylor said : charge of Wes. McKnight and W. A.
