at is boat, you see che is to the
right of Chinook Point and there is a
wide channel of river there
"She may bring the soldiers"
81 hope to God she will. Those
fellows are reinforcing their strength
and we can't hold out much longer
against them"
Thus spoke Old Seadog. A hand to
hand fight had just taken place on the
water and while the encounter was a
draw the northsiders knew that their
strength was being exhausted while
that of their enemy was being in
creased by force of numbers.
The only hope Of the northsiders was
the arrival of the state troops. The
militia was not ordered out for the pur-
pose of taking part in the fight, if it
could be avoided, but to patrol the
river and prevent bloodshed.
The state maintained the right of its
citizens to fish to the middle of the
stream wherever that might be determ-
ined to be, and claimed the right to
protect their life and property north OF
that point.

nearer and nearer. "Gabe Jarvi will
take care of them," casually remarked
a southside leader to his companion.

reader already knows of it's movements,
and the treachery of its pilot.
After the boat passed away to the
south OF the island, the northsiders re.
laxed into feeling almost hopeless.
The night was cool and calm, but an
unusual darkness settled down upon
the waters. The stars shown out and
gave forth shadows that darkened the
surface of the water. A black veil
hung above it like q mantle. The
contending fishermen lay upon their
oars and arms. The first blush ol

TIE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

The Old Year goes away; her eyes are

The eyes Of one who hopes or fears no
Snow is upon her hair; gray mists have
A form the vesture Of the spring which

The new buds quicken now beneath the
But not Tor her - tho Old Year goes

The New Year enters In: a happy child,
Who looks for flowers to hll her out
stretched hand,
And knows not fear. although the winds
be wild.
Soon shall the birds be singing In the
land,
On the young leaves the patter Of soft
rain.
And violets ope'-the New Year comes
again.
So with this mortal life; now young, now
old.
A spring which never dreams Of frost and

Summer and autumn--then the tale Is told;
With tired step, In wintry days we 60.

Where the lost youth and Joy comes back
