Quite right brother. Ball players
and fans always are prone TO call q
criticism a knock.
Probably they think they are above
criticism.
No one should take offense at fair
criticism, that is if they live off the

the first ones to hurl the epithet

CHAPTER XV.s d.
Rescued by the Enemy.

An accident had befallen Dan lap
ham in the early morning enga cement.
In the rush for boats before it was
still daylight he had taken the fist
one he came to. He led the way to the
place where he expected to find the
southsiders, and was followed by the
long array of northside fishermen in
their boats.
He was far in advance of the other
fishermen, expecting to locate the ene-
my and then await the arrival of his
colleagues and assist them in the at
tack.
Before single shot was fired and be-
fore daylight began to dawn Dan came
to grief in most unexpected manner.
The river brought with it all kinds of
were constantly on the lookout for
this. for large logs, famous the world
over for their length and size. often
come down with a speed and force
sufficient to crush river steamer, and
the small craft of the fishermen would
stand no more show before these than
would an egg she'll.
But it was not one of these that
caused Dan trouble. 1t is the con-
cealed from which most harm comes
in all of the experiences of life. 1t is
the hidden that takes man unawares
and dashes his hope to pieces or frus-
trates his plans at the most unex-
pected moment. We may battle with
the open enemy with hope of success,
but the one in ambush takes us at a
disadvantage and destroys or is victor
ious over us before we are even prepar-
ed for defense.
Dan was keeping sharp lookout
fol the enemy. He knew the plans of
the southsiders and expected to in
tercept them before they should di-
vide up into squads. While there
was still none in sight he was sending
his frail old craft like cutter through
the water. An old snag was slowly
beating its way with the current and
tide to the ocean. 1t was one of those
heavy, pitchy fir trunks whose weight
kept it deep in the water. Only few
inches of a knot, dark as the water
itself, projected above the surface, and
the thing stood like rock directly in
front of the fsherman's boat.
Unconscious of its presence he sent
the old craft against 1T with terrific
sweep otthe oars and the results were
