mination. She was looking for Dan
Lapham. Her strong and handsome
young friend had aided her in fishing
the traps when her aged companion
was unable to assist. He had also, on
that very morning, left her money
with which to buy necessary supplies
he had promised her that Ringwold
should not go to the poor house; and
above all there was an underlined feel
ing in her heart for the young man
which only comes to woman once in
a lifetime.
Sankala did not understand this and
would have blushed had it been ex-
planned. 1t was the same old story
which has caused the joys, sorrows,
disappointments and happiness since
the days Of Adam and Eve.
While clinging to the piling which
held the netting Of Lapham's fshtrap,
to steady her boat, sankala could see
that the water was rapidly rising and
that each food dashed higher above the
mark made by the former wave. The
billows grew darker and more sullen
while the whiiecaps looked like great
animals leaping at Fandom in the d.
rectiOn of the bar.
Before ii was too late she turned her
boat toward the island, where she
landed without accident. But she was
just in time, for old Neptune's work
farther out at sea was telling and
great waves from the mighty deep came
rolling over the bay, converting 1t into
a mad, seething thing OF destruction.
The rain began to fall in torrents.
The wind blew with such force as to
send the cold diops like heavy shots
in a slanting course through the air.
These struck the thinly clad girl with
a force that made her shiver with pain
and cold.
When cast upon her own resources
in time Of danger, woman is said to be
superior to man in courage and endur-
ance. Before she resigns herself TO
fate, she employs every means in her
power to thwart it's disasters. If she
cannot turn its colnse, she goes with
it as a companion. Death is thus
made less bitter and an example is
given to the world.
Sankala dragged her boat as fan as
she could and then tied the long line
attached to its prov to limb Of tree
which had been cast far upon the
sands. She began to look about her for
d shelter. She remembered an old
fisherman's camp farther up the is
land, and taking the provisions which
she had prepared for Dan, she made
her way to the shack.

CHAPTER XvI-Continued.

The island was soon reached and
the man taken ashore. The morning
was crisp and cold and fire of drift
wood was kindled for the comfort OF
the wounded man and his companions.
As the day Jagged away the man grew
worse. Dan was his most attentive
nurse. In the afternoon be persuaded
his companions that 1t would be better
to take the wounded man to his home.
They agreed upon this but they did
not know what to do with their pris.
oner. On the southside they could not
hold him, and If they left him on the
island he might be compelled to re-
main Tor several days without assist
ance. They wanted him to accompany
them to thieI homes, but Dan bad mat
teIa Of more Importance demanding his
attention on the north side. He told
them 10 leave him on the island and he
would take his chances on reaching
shore.
The fishermen pulled out with theii
wounded companion, reluctantly leav-
ing Dan behind.
Throughout the day Lapham walked
up and down the island viewing his
friends and enemies as they lay on
their oars in threatening attitudes.
He managed, however, to keep con-
cealed behind the driftwood from his
enemies, while he was too far away to
be distinguished by his friends.
He had searched the island from one
end to the other for boat, but the
southsiders had intended making this a
sort Of prison had they carried out their
original plans and had removed every
semblance Of craft from the place.
Besides the island had always been
q sort OF neutral ground and since the
quarrel had begun, neither side at.
tempted TO occupy II and all fishing ap.
paratus and supplies had been taken
away by the respective owners.
As night came on, Dan became more
anxious TO reach the north shore. He
wondered how many Of his friends had
fallen under the fire Of the southsiders,
and wondered more how Sankala was
faring.
Old eeadog was too much absorbed In
the trouble at hand to carry out his
plan Of taking Sankala and Ringwold
TO the county poor farm, but he knew
the girl was worrying her young life
away over the outlook for the future
and possibly by this time, so far as he
knew, she was grieving by the bedside
OF the deceased Ringwold.
The impatient young fisherman could
remain an exile no longer. He con-
structed a raft from planks and timbeTs
which had lodged on the shores of the
island and with pieces OF planks used
as po,es and paddles he started for the
main shore.
Before bis work had been completed,
however, night had long since fallen
over the waters and storm was brew
ing.
The same sound from the clash of
the wave and current on the bar greet
cd his ears at that moment that made
the frail eankala tremble with fear as
she left the north shore to search for
him that she might give him the food
she had prepared for him and OF which
she thought he must by this time lbe in
such dire need.

CHAPTER XVII.
I" Where Is Sankala ? F"

"Hello, lookoutp
"Hello, captainp'
'How does 1t look to the southwest"
"Black and ioreboding, captain"
81 feared so. Watch close the river
and bay. They are covered with those
fool fishermen tonight. The light Of
morning will find plenty Of work for us
to do"
Thus spoke the captain Of the life
saving station to the man on the look
out.
Night had already closed In and the
captain Of the life saving station knew
q storm was coming lie was at the
station below the rocks and could not
see out on the ocean but had called to
the man stationed on the hill to verify
the evidence Of the storm. The instru-
msnts at the station indicated a storm,
but the rising, surging, slashing, crack.
Ing breakers on the rocks gave a more
formidable warning to the experienced
life saver.
II is the same old story at the mouth
Of the Columbia. From fall until
spring, throughout the long winter
months, the storms rage with unceas-
ing fury. Three days OF storm and one
OF dim sunshine is liberal statement
in favor of the king of day. At this
point Neptune rules unchallenged
through the winter, but whom summer
comes he is superseded by old Sol, who
w.elds his sceptIe with more charita-
BILE hand and makes this little shetch
OF coast the most attractive spot IN the
great Pacific Northwest, Thousands Of
pleasure seekers visit this coast each
summer TO view the grandeurs and
beauties of nature, but flee before ad-
vancing winter, when gloom and dark
ness settle over the place like the pail
Of death.
Men inuIed to hardships and disast-
ers learn to soorn them. II is this class
that suffers most from them. They be-
come emboldened to stand in the teeth
Of death, yea, even to enter its jaws,
while the mo'e timid fly for safety, and
escape Its fangs. Day after day the
courageous go down, while the towards
live to tell of the chivalrous deeds of
the brave.
A terrific storm was rising to sweep
the river and bay. The black horizon
TO the southwest told this. The roar
ing clash of waters on the bar spoke 1t
in so many sounds. The moaning
winds in the boughs Of the tall trees
on the hills sung 1t in dismal notes.
The angry surges on the beach hissed
out like the warning OF an adder. The
gloomy mist which surrounded old
Cape Disappointment lighthouse hung
like pail over the river and bay.
Yet the water was dotted with the
boats Of the needless fishermen. They
had seen the signs thousand times
and had never known them to fail.
They knew that no frail craft could be
geasonably expected to survive such d |

at luncheon the other day, "ls bread

corn mullins on the table with dis
pleasure and seorn, says the Philadel-
phia Record.

visitors, and after George had retired,
she said to her husband: George is
asking for bread made of tritlcum
flour. What is that?"
The husband hadn't the slightest
idea, and frankly said so. A lawyer in
the party, when appealed to, hummed
and hawed a little, and said 1t was
probably some new-fangled idea
George had gathered at school, per-
haps the name of new breakfast
food. Another visitor suggested that
George might be a josher, and upon
this the party spelt the word back
ward, rearranged the sylIabes and did
other things known to puzzle solvers.
"I'm going to look 1t up" said
Georges eldest sister. She went into
the house and returned half an hour
with dust from the encyclopedia and
dictionary over her hands, but she was
triumphant.
"Why, it's wheat" she said. "It's
simply the botanical name for wheat"
Georges father was inclined to be
proud Of his boy, but the visitors at
once started discussion of the Rus
sian-Japanese war.

Sankala had a hard battle with the
surf but she reached the traps formerl,
tended by Dan Lapham before the
storm was at its heighth. Dan, of
course, was not near the place. The
wind was already raging and the white
caps were multiplying at a rapid rate
