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 he persuaded
his companions that it 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 for several days without assist
snce. They wanted him to accompany
them to thier homes, but Dan had mat
ters of more Importance demanding his
attention on the north side. He told
them to 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
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
a sort Of neutral ground and since the
quarrel had begun, neither side at
tempted to occupy it 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 Seadog 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, go 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 raft from planks and timbers
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 his 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
ed his ears at that moment that made
the frail Sankala 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
che thought he must by this time be in
such dire need.

II would support Mr.. Hearst because
he Is a young leader inspired by tho

In commenting on the above utter
ance the Atlanta News says In the
