CHAPTER XXI-Continued.

The. clash finally came. The boats
came together like so many battering
rams. Curses arose loud over the calm
waters. The boats surged back and
forth like living animals. The grim
dark forms of the fishermen writhed
and contested with each other like SER
pents Of the sea.
"Back you gillnettersl You destroy
ers of the fish," shouted the north
siders.
"Away with you, you trappers! You
cause our families to starveW replied
the men from the southside, with bit
ter oaths.
The resistance on the part OF the
northsiders was short lived. The over
whelming numbers against them soon
began to tell. By sheer force they were
driven toward their traps. The prows
OF the southsiders' boats were against
theirs, and they were swept along like
driftwood before huge raft.
The red in the east was making
things more visible on the water. 1t
was easy to see that the northsiders
were losing ground at every point,
But suddenly volley of shots rang out
down the river. Another followed

ermen like chaff. They fred volleys
occasionally above the heads Of the re-
treating belligerents in order to hasten
their departure.
"Bang!" rang out rifle shot from a
a retreating party to the south.
"Take that!" exclaimed a murderous
looking southsider as the smoke cleared
from the muzzle OF his gun.
Old Seadog fell back into the arms o.
his sons. The bullet had found itf
mark.
"Take this!' said another southsidel
as he raised his rifle to his shoulder.
"You have betrayed us, Gobe Jarvi
and you shall pay the penalty!"

The girl was pale as death, but she
clung to the wheel in spirit of des

its course, ploughing through the craft
of the contending fishermen, the south
siders retreating with all possible
speed.

v THREE LIVES.
Hired Man Braves Flames to Rescue
Children.

A hired man in the employ OF Felix
Gruba, living near Pickerel Lake. Day
county, proved himself a hero by saw
ing the lives Of his employers three
children.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Gruba were Alb.
SEN on a shopping expedition to a
nearby town, their residence in some
mysterious manner caught fire. Their
three children, the Oldest of whom is
six years of age, were in the house at
the time.
The hired man was at work in the
barn when he discovered that the
house was on fire. He ran to the
scene OF the fire, and, observing that
the children had'no escaped, set about
the work of rescue. The flames had
spread to such an extent that he could
not enter the building by any of the
doors.
Speedily fastening a rope about him
self and throwing one end to a friend
who had been visiting with him in the
barn, he, at the risk of his life, burst
through a window and rescued the
three children, who were overcome by
smoke.
Had 1t not been for the heroic hired
man and his presence of mind, the
children would have lost their lives. as
the building was entirely consumed by
the flames.
