Was soon himself again.

I
But the scenes we're rapidly shifting.
Dawn was breaking and the approach
Of the northsiders had been discovered.
The boats began TO line up for the cap
tuie Of the fishermen from the north
eide who we're supposed to be ignorant
OF the presence OF the southsiders.
Dan Lapham was placed in peculiar
position, but one common in war. He
was to sit side by side with the enemy
and receive the fire Of his friends. He
knew what his companions in tbs boat
did not know. He knew that the north
side fishermen were armed, and that
they would come prepared to do war
unto death, He knew that he would
soon be subjected to their FIRE and that
they would shoot to kill.
Closer and still closer the northsid-
ers approached. They lined up through
the gloom OF dawn like 80 many specks
on the river and bay. The southsiders
lay upon their oars with guns in hand.
To row down upon them and capture
them at given signal was the pre-
viously arranged plan.
The keen whistle OF small launch
rang out over the water from the head
OF the southside fotilla and the little
feet moved to the north under the
steady strokes Of the oarsmen.
"Bingl" rang out rifle shot from
the north side.
"Bingl Bingl Bingl" followed a
succession Of shots from the same di.
rection.
The southsiders were taken complete
ly by surprise. They had come to
capture, not to fight, but now that the
trouble was on, IT was left to them to
fight or to fee. The bitter feeling 80
long existing between the two stubborn
factions would not permit the latter
alternative, and as II fror common
command, the southsiders raised their
rifles and poured forth volley in the
direction Of their competitors. This
was returned by heavy volley from
the north eide, and then a desultoly y
fring. began all along the line.
The fishermen were not accustomed
to the use of fire arms nor this manner
OF warfare and II was better for them
that they were not. After the second
volley the members OF each contending
element began to fall back and the
Doats scattered in every direction.
But neither side would abandon the
struggle. 1t wac the purpose Of the
southsiders TO destroy the traps, while
it was the determination OF the north
siders to defend them to the last.
At the very first volley from the north
a rife bullet struck the fisherman d.
rectly in front of Dan Lapham, the
very man who had aided in resuscitat-
ing their captive. He was wounded in
the side and fell into Dam arms. Dan
begged them to pull for the island that
the wounded man might receive better
care. His request was granted, for the
fishermen now were anxious for an ex-
cuse to get out Of fight that was &C
much more real than they had ex-
pected.

CHAPTER XVI,
Daring the Elements.

"Give him drop of whisky. He is
not dead by any means"
"Raise him up-light in. boys, and
rub himl He is one OF old Seadog's
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-
sciousness, The men knew him we'll
and treated him kindly, though they
now REGARDED him as a 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 half-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
aud that he was soon warmly clad, and
with youth and reyiving strength be

CHAPTER XIV.
Rescued by the Enemy.

An accident had beiallen Dan Lap.
ham In the early morning engagement.
In the rush for boats before II 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 fred and be-
fore daylight began TO dawn Dan came
10 grief In most unexpected manner.
The river brought with 1t all kinds of
drlitwood from above. The fishermen
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 II was not one Of these that
caused Dan trouble. II 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-
tTates 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
disadvantage and destroys or Ia victor
ious over US before we are even prepar-
cd 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
wac 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. II was one of those
heavy, pitchy tir trunks whose weight
kept 1t deep In the water. Only few
inches Of q knot, dark as the water
itself, projected above the surface, and
the thing stood like rock directly in
front Of the flsherman's boat.
Unconscious Of its presence he sent
the old craft against 1t with terrific
sweep of the oars and the results we're
as sudden as fash. The boat was al
ready running deep in the water from
the weight OF the sea which IL had
taken from below, and when its rotten
hull struck the snag 1t was practically
torn asunder.
1t went down like a rock, and the
young fisherman had either of two al
ternatives. One was to take refuge by
Clinging to the cause of his disaster
and the other was tc swim for the is
land.
But there was no time to waste un.
der such conditions. As soon as he
had recovered from the shock which
bad snt him deep below the surface he

CHAPTER XIV--Continued.

The northsiders guarded their traps
1t was believed that with the approach
OF night the southsideIs would steaI
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 we're there to settle
II by might. The giIlnetters 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 1t, and II was truly a
vital issue with them.
The run Of fish was getting lighter
every year and whatever the fault
might be II 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.
Sankala had made many inquiries
for Dan Lapham but he had not been
seen since the departure Of the boats
from the north shore.
He bad led the way and given direc'
tions fci the men to follow. But nc
one who had come ashore could give
any tidings Of the young fisherman
6ankals had prepared two meals and
sent them out by the boys but they
were unable TO find him.
When night came still there was nc
tidings from the young fisherman.
The girl could endure 1t no longer
She prepared enough lunch for siege
and slipped away to the beach unob-
served. She knew that II 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 ii to his trap be-
fore II grew too dangerous.
She tried the fishing boat but her
strength was not sufficient TO launch
It. Then she drew a snail skiff to
the waters edge. 1t would not live in
o 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
0bscured the last star. The wind was
already moaning in the boughs of the
tall fire. 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.

Growth or Europonn PopuInt,on.

Few persons have any idea of tho
extraordinary manner In which the
population of Europe has increased
during the last century. According to
statlsticians this population has more
than doubled itself from 1880 to 1900.
To this increase the Latin nations Of
the west and southwest contributed
the least and the greatest growth was
In the east where the people have
not yet become thoroughly saturated
with the ideas OF modern civilization.

SAVE THE BIG TREES.
Move Is Being Made to Protect the
CaIaVeraS Grove.

San Francisco, Dec. 13-The Calaveras
groves, containing the largest and old
est trees in the world (Sequoia Gigan-
tea), are held in private ownership and
are in danger of destruction. A bill for
the purchase of these groves by the
government is pending in congress.
1t now exists only in ten isolated
groves on the west slope of the Sierra
Nevada mountains, and nowhere else in
the world.
The Mariposa grove is today the only
one of consequence which is complete
ly protected.
Most of the scattered groves of big
trees are privately owned, and therefore
in danger of destruction.
LAUNDERING is rapidly sweeping them
off; 40 mills and logging companies are
now at work wholly or in part upon
big tree timber.
President Roosevelt lately said: II
appeal to you to protect these mighty
trees, these wonderful monuments of
beauty"
Public sentiment for the safety of
these trees is being worked up.

WILL HAVE NEW CARS.
C. L. TaIlmadge Building Immigrant
Cars.

The old sleeping cars now being
used by the C. L. Tallmadge Land
company of Chicago, which have been
running between Wichita and the
Pecos valley country for a year, will
be condemned on the first of next
year and the company will have en-
tirely new cars built for the immigra-
ton business.
The old cars have had quite a his
tory. They were built by a sleeping
car company many years ago, but the
company was closed out of business by
the Pullman company and the old cars
were sold to show people. They were
used for that purpose for several years
and then sold to immigration COM
panies and sent to different parts of
the United States, where they were
needed for short runs. Tallmadge
leased several of them from the Turner
company and they have been doing
good service in the Panhandle for sew
eral years. The construction of the
cars is Objectionable and Mr.. Tall
madge is making new cars for his
business which will make the through
run from Chicago to Pecos City, Texas.
He says that after the first of the year
he will send from one to four cars
over the Santa Fe to the southwest
every week. This year he has been
sending from one to two each week.

Bent Murdoch in Ell Dorado Republi-
can: 1t is DISCOURAGE distressing,
humiliating to hear anyone use coarse,
vulgar, indecent or profane language,
anywhere or at any time. How much
worse it is to meet with a young man
whose entire conversation is punctu-
ated with oaths; whose every breath is
both vulgar and brutal; who damns
everything and everybody in his ordi-
nary conversation; who cannot speak
without an oath, a vulgar suggestion,
ore a vile epithet. And il might be said
that some young men would be sur
prised if they were reminded that they
are chemically vulgar. Cut it out,
young man. 1t does not make you any
bigger to swear, nor does it command
respect from others. People are not
afraid of you because your every word
IS an oath. Never use an expression at
any time that you would be ashamed
TO use before your mother, and you will
be a lot happier for it.

The value of franchises, such as the
Topeka city councilmen fall over one
another to give away, is we'll illustrated
by the case of Toronto. Canada In
Toronto the street railroad company
pays the city eight per cent on gross
receipts up to 81, 900. 600; ten per cent on
receipts between 81, 600. 600 and $500 900;
u percent on receipts between $1,500,000
and $4,000, 900; fifteen per cent on re-
ceipts between 50, 600 and 5000, 900
and twenty per cent on receipts above
100000. In addition, the Toronto
company sells eight tickets for 25 cents,
to be used on cars running up to a.
m. and between and $50 p. m; %
tickets for 81 and six for % cents, to
be used at other hours; tickets for
school children at ten for 25 cents, TO
be used between a. m. and p. m. and
not on Saturdays Moreover, the
Toronto franchise is limited to twenty
years.
