sideis for several moments. They
were the lower guards, who expected to
apprehend the fishermen of the traps
in the lower bay. A large log with
branches extending in many directions
had almost run into them. So dark
was the night that it had approached
them very closley before they saw it.
1t was this that had called for the com.
mand to the steersman.
There is man aboard that drift"
exclaimed one of the men. "Tie on to
the drift" said the leader.
One Of the men grabbed branch Of
the drift and the boat and log foated
along together.
"The mans Dead" remarked one Of
the fishermen as he came near the OBJ
ject. Bring him aboard, anyway"
said the leader, "and we will bury him
on the sand spit"
Then the fishermen raised Dan Lap.
ham from his place on the drift, fairly
prying his clinched hands from the
branches of the tree, and laid him in
the boat at their feet.

CHAPTER XIV.
Rescued by the Enemy.


An accident had befallen Dan Lap.
ham in the early morning engagement.
In the rush for boats before 1t was
'till daylight he had taken the first
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 enc
my and then await the arrival Of his
colleagues and assist them in the at
tack.
Before single shot was fred and be-
lore daylight began to dawn Dan came

CHAPTER XIV-Continued

The northsiders guarded their traps.
II was believed that with the approach
al night the southsiders would steal
upon the traps in squads and attempt
their destruction. The trouble had
been too long brewing to give up after
one slight engagement. The fishermen
on both sides felt that principle was
involved and they were there to settle
it by might. The gillnetters declared
that the traps were gradually destroy.
ing the run of fish while the trappers
claimed that the gillnets were doing
greater harm to the industry than the
traps. The men had spent their lives
fishing, the support of their families
depended upon it, and it was truly a
vital issue with them.
The run OF fish was getting lighter
every year and whatever the fault
might be it was evident that the in
dustry would soon become thing of
the past. 1t was natural that both
sides should strike hard now as each
respectively considered that the other
was the cause OF the dying industry.
The shore people had communicated
with the men on the water several
times during the day. The women had
prepared meals and sent them out by
the boys OF the village to number of
the men. But the fishermen were bad
ly scattered and many Of them went
without meals.
shnkala had made many inquiries
for Dan Lapham but he had not been
seen since the departure of the boats
from the north shore.
He had led the way and given direc-
tons fci the men to follow. But no
one who had come ashore could give
any tidings of the young fisherman.
Sankala had prepared two meals and
sent them out by the boys but they
were unable to find him.
When night came still there was no
tidings from the young fisherman.
The girl could endure it no longer.
She prepared enough lunch for siege
and slipped away to the beach unob-
j served. She knew that if Dan had not
been killed or captured, he would be
found near his trap at the lower end
Of the bay.
The night was very dark, and a
storm was brewing, but she believed
that she could make it to his trap be-
fore it grew too dangerous.
She tried the fishing boat but her
strength was not sufficient to launch
1t. Then she drew a snail skiff to
the waters edge. 1t would not live in
heavy storm, but Sankala knew that
II she could reach Dan his strong arms
would bring her safely ashore again.
The roar of the surf on the bar was
already distinct. An occasional white
cap leaped above the murky horizon to
the southwest. Dark, misty clouds
obscured the last star. The wind was
already moaning in the boughs of the
tall frs on the hills.
Sankala showed the light craft into
the water, and, guided by the interval
flashes from Cape disappointment
light house, she pulled toward the foot
Of the rocks where lay the fish trap
tended by Dan Lapham.

Daring the Elements.

Daring the Elements.
"Give him drop of WHISKY. He is
not dead by any means"
Raise him up-light in. boys, and
rub him! He is one of old Seadog' 8
slaves, but he is human and We will
treat him as such"
Thus spoke the men who had rescued
Dan Lapham from the floating timber.
They worked with him sometime be-
fore he was restored to a thorough con-
seriousness. The men knew him we'll
and treated him kindly, though they
now regarded him as legitimate
''prisoner OF war"
Lapham was favorably known by all
Of the fishermen and boatmen of the
river. His extraordinary strength gave
him prominence among the toilers of
the river, while his courage and kind
ness gained for him their respect.
The hslf-drowned fisherman received
the same care and attention as would
one OF their own number. One shared
dry vest with him; another had an
extra rain coat and with this garment

JOY MIXED WITH FEAR.
ST. Petersburg ReioIces But Is Also
Solemn,

st. Petersburg. Aug. 15.-St. Peters
burg is divided between rejoicing
over the birth of an heir to the throne
and anxiety as to the fate of the Port
Arthur squadron. AS has happened
on several occasions since the war
began a fete day at the capital coin
cides with an important development
at the front and national thanks
giving is tempered with solemnity
A day marked by the display of
flags, the firing of salutes, the holding
of religious services and the extend
ing of official congratulations, as fol-
lowed by a night of brilliant illumin-
ations. Garlands and lamps were
strung across almost every house
front, while from many of the larger
buildings flashed the Russian arms,
the imperial monogram and other
devices picked out in electric globes
Early tens of thousands of tapers
glimmered before the affairs of St
Petersburg's many shrines. In chap
els and cathedrals every where there
were solemn choruses of thanksgiv-
ing-from the imperial chapel of the
Peterhoff palace to the humble lamp
lit shrines of the streets, where the
hurrying pedestrians, laborers and
droskey drivers waited to cross them
selves. The street crowds were, how
ever, much quieter than usual on a
holiday, popular rejoicing over the
event at the Alexandria Villa could
no dispel the anxiety which prevail
ed regarding the fate of the squad
ron on which so much depends.
