recoil, and the water seethed and
foamed about the place like the boiling
of a 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 be
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 hel 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
more.
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 it's highest
point and throughout the remainder of
the night, the waters would return to
the oceans depths.
If Dan Lapham' s strength would hold
out, there might be hope for him yet,

CHAPTER XII.
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 a relief
once more to secure good footing where
he could stand or sit with ease. He
had chung to the side OF the upright
ooulders 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 We're familiar. 1t was 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 light burning in the early hour OF
morning wien they went out into the
storm or tina, their bodies had been re-
covered by the life savers and neighbors
who were sitting % with the dead.
Poor Sankala! Dan sat down upon
the rocks and reflected. lie thought OF
the frail girl whom he had so 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 hel
protector. He thought of the self
denial, of the bravery and kind hear
OF the girl and then he saw the limo

The young @ of Henry GroY

The young @ of Henry GroS
chow, Of near e Underwood, met with
a very serious accident Monday
morning in which young fellow
had his hand badly lacerated by
the explosion of a fulminite cap
with which he was playing. A
we'll digging outfit was at the farm
of Me-. Grochow digging a we'll, and
in the conrse of their work it was
necessary to use these caps. The
little boy, who is about ~ years of
age, in some manner got hold of
one Of these cap. holding it in his
hand the thing exploded, tearing
off two fingers Of the left hand and
badly lacerating it. The right hand
was badly injured by theexplosion
and his face was badly cut by the
flying particles of the cap. The
boy was brought to this place and
at last reports he vas getting along
nicely
Mandan Pioneer: History is
repeating itself again. Just as
soon as a new law is passed in the
interest of the people, and some
energetic official, who is unbriba-
bic, starts out to enforce it, he is
sued for damages, OF other means
of intimidation are tried upon him.
A case in point is that of Profess
sor Ladd, whose business it has
been to point out to the public the
impure food that is being sold to
them in CANS, and to warn the pub
lie against purchasing certain alul-
terated and impure food. Now GER
tain manufacturing institutions
whose food will not bear Analysing
are suing him for damages to the
amount of $1O0,00O This is, Of
course only d bluff, and probably
these manufacturers believe that
such a suit will result in Professor
Ladd refraining from his duty. The
Pioneer hopes that the law depart
ment of the state will stay by the
professor, and demonstrate to the
eastern pirates that the laws of
North Dakota amount to something
when they are placed upon the
statute book.
