recoil. and the water seethed and
loaned about the place like the boiling
Of huge caldron. The prospect was
as uninviting as death itself, but Lap
am stood straight in his boat, oar in
hand his eyes piercing the precincts of
the boulders and his muscles standing
out in knots. 1t was a case of power
full man looking death in the face, a
man equal to the fearful emergency.
The boat was heading straight for
the base Of the group of rocks. To the
left of the center the boulders divided
some six feet above the water line
Lapham saw this at glance and knew
that if he could reach this point he
would be safe for time.
Quicker than words he hurled his
oars forward with all of his strength
He blocked the way of his craft and
spun it around like a top. Then he
threw her sidewise to the rebounding
waters which filled her almost to the
top. But the heavy undercurrent up
on which he rode struck the rocks deep
down toward the bed of the bay and
rose up like living thing. Lapham
found himself opposite the coveted OPP
ening in the rocks and leaped. He
caught his footing and clawled to a
place of temporary safety.
The lie savers had seen him strike
the rocks through the early morning
mist and spray and had seen him no
nscre.
But at the hour when Joe Golden
had reported his death and his friends
were drinking to his memory, Dan
Lapham was still clinging to the rocks.
He had assembled as far as he could,
however, and the water was biting at
his uncertain footing, while his be-
numbed fingers chung, blood-stained, TO
the narrow crevies in the boulders.
But the tide had reached its highest
point and throughout the remainder of
the night, the waters would return to
the oceans depths.
If Dan Lapham g strength would hold
out, there might be hope for him yet.

Virginia, Minn.-A terrific expIosion
occurred in the rear of the residence
OF Mayor Fay early Sunday, and the
handsome building is mass of ruins.
No one was injured, but it would
seem that dynamite was placed In the
rear of the house with the intention
OF killing the mayor, as well as wreck
ing his dwelling.
For some time past the mayor has
been waging very vigorous warfare
against the violators of the saloon
law, and many threats have been made
against him.
There is no clew to the perpetrator
of the crime.

TRADE REPORT.

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade
says: All measures of trade indicated
the customary loss due to holiday in
terruption, but subsequently much of
the deficit was regained, numerous ev-
licences of increasing confidence be-
ing seen in the disposition to place or
ders for distant shipments. Wooden
mills are busy, despite the fact that
1t is between seasons, and the raw
wool market is very strong. Foreign
commerce at New York port for the
last week shows a decrease of $685.
905 in exports, compared with last
years figures, while imports increas-
ed $4,364.891. Receipts of coffee were
a prominent factor in this gain. Rail-
way earnings in October exceeded
last years by 3.S per cent. Hides are
on firmer basis, with stocks limited
and offerings small. Foreign dry hides
have sold at a further fractional ad-
vance.
Failures numbered 213 in the Unit
ed States.

CHAPTER XII.
Dan Lapham Makes a Discovery.

Dan Lapham Makes a Discovery.
The storm went out with the tide.
The wind lulled with every receding
wave. Inch by inch Dan Lapham de-
scended the rocks. 1t would be relief
once more to secure good footing where
he could stand or sit with ease. He
had chung to the side of the upright
boulders until his fingers were worn to
the quick. His toes ached under the
continual strain and the bones of his
body seemed torn from the flesh so
long had he been in contact with the
rocks.
When once the tide was out he found
himself upon large nest of rocks.
This he knew would be the case for he
was acquainted with the bay and river
as one is acquainted with his home and
the landmarks about the place.
At high tide Chinook rocks were sub
merged, save that one spur near the
center of the group extended above the
high water mark. 1t was to this that
Dan had chung throughout the day.
Finding himself again able to walk
about he began to plan for escape. He
had hopes that he might hail some
early morning fisherman by picking a
conspicuous place on the rocks from
which point he could view the river
and bay, but he was anxious to leave
his place of imprisonment earlier if
possible
He peered into the water at the loot
of the rocks and examined every nook
and corner, with the hope that he
might find his boat or some other craft
that might have drifted to the place
and lodged.
A few lights in the village to the
north showed that some OF the inhabi
tants were yet awake. He noticed one
light with which he and all the fisher
men were familiar. 1t was a light In
an isolated cabin far up the beach.
This light tonight was source of
mystery to Dan. 1t shone from the
cabin of Ringwold and Sankala. He
had seen them going to their doom
that morning. He did not believe any
earthly power could save them. His
final conclusion was that they had left
the nght burning In the early hour OF
morning when they went out into the
storm or that their bodies had been re-
covered by the life savers and neighbors
who were sitting up with the dead.
Poor Sankalal Dan sat down upon
the rocks and reflected. He thought OF
the frail girl whom he had 30 often as
sisted in fishing her net while her aged
companion sat helpless in the boat.
He thought of how cheerful the little
one worked day after day to sustain her
protector. He thought of the self
denial. of the bravery and kind heart
of the girl and then he saw the inno-
cent confiding blue eyes as they had Sc
often thanked him when he rendered
her assistance at the traps, and a big
tear stole into The eyes of the younp
athlete. In the very darkness he was
handsome. HIs black hair hung about
his b, al in graceful wavy curls. is

The Election Summary

New York, Nov. 10.-With the cleo
ton returns still incomplete, the plu-
rality for President Roosevelt in the
nation, according to all indications to-
night, will exceed 1900, 0O0-the great
est ever given to an American candi-
date.
The nearest approach to this vote
was in 1896, when Mckinley received
a plurality approximating $4,000, and
in 1872, when Grant received 762,991.
The interest now centers in Mis-
|souri and Maryland Late returns in
dictate that the former state is in the
republican column so far as presiden-
tial electors are concerned. but that
Joseph w. Folk, the democratic can
didate, has been elected governor. In
Maryland the presidential vote will
probably be cast for Roosevelt.
In the other states it is simply a
question of pluralities.
343 Electoral Votes.
The 'solid south" was broken by the
detection of Missouri. The figures
now show but IL states with 1873 votes
for Judge Parker. President Roosevelt
carried all the northern states-swept
them, in fact-and tonight he had 343
electoral votes.
City Proper is Parker's.
Judge Parker carried Greater New
York by nearly Al 900 votes.
In Massachusetts Roosevelt had a
plurality of $4,000, while the republi-
can candidate for governor was de-
feated by $4,000. In that state the leg
islature is republican, and the entire
republican ticket, with the exception
OF governor, was elected. In Missouri
the circumstances are similar. In Ne
braska the definite announcement that
the legislature is republican disposes
of the statement that William ]. Bry-
an had aspirations for the United
States senatorship. In that state. too.
the gOvernorship is in doubt.
In Minnesota.
There is a curious situation in Min
nesota. Here Roosevelt has 1926. 5000
plurality, out where democratic gov
ernor and republican lieutenant gov
ernor were elected
Chairman Babcock of the republican
congressional committee has been re-
turned in Wisconsin, but Chairman
Cowherd of the democratic congress
sional committee was defeated in Mis-
souri,.
The situation in Colorado presents
an interesting phase. Roosevelt has
carried the state by probably $4,000,
but the governorship is still in doubt.
