stormy days it is entirely a different
matter, as it is practically impossible
to keep dry and comfortable. For
doctors and others whose duties nee
essitate their going out in a carriage
every day, no matter what the wealth
er may be, the storm shield shown in
the illustration would be of great
value. The construction is such that
can readily be attached or detached
from a buggy top, and when lowered
excludes the rain and wind, at the
same time giving the driver free &C
cess to the reins outside the storm
shield. This shield can be made of
any suitable material and Is supported
on uprights, as shown In the picture,
fastened by means of hooks on the
tops and sides. A rubber drawing
string in the bottom of the shield holds
1t taut. On the front of the buggy
top two hooks are placed, to which
the shield can be attached by means
of straps when not In use, and also
when the occupants of the carriage de-
sire to get out.

men. A slight redness above the hori-
IAN to the east indicated that morning
was approaching. The men had been
watching for the approach of the north
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

Then the fishermen raised Dan lap

prying his clinched hands from the
branches of the tree, and laid him in
the boat at their feet.

Reasoned bY the Enemy.

An accident had befallen Dan lap
ham in the early morning engagement.
In the rush for boats before it was
still daylight he had taken the fiist
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 a single shot was fred and be-
fore daylight began to dawn Dan came
to grief in a most unexpected manner

The northsiders guarded their traps.
1t was believed that with the approach
of 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 we're 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 a 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 a 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 had led the way and given direc-
lions fcl the men to follow. But nc
one who had come ashore could give
any tidings of the young fisherman
Sankala had prepared two meals anc
sent them out by the boys but they
were unable to find him.
When night came still there was M

The girl could endure it no longer
She prepared enough lunch for siege
and slipped away to the beach unob
served. She knew that if Dan had no
been killed or captured, he would b'
found near his trap at the lower enc
of the bay.
The night was very dark, and
storm was brewing, but she believed
that she could make it to his trap be
lore it grew too dangerous.
She tried the fishing boat but he
strength was not sufficient to launcl
it. Then she drew a snail skiff t.
the waters edge. 1t would not live il

if she could reach Dan his strong arm
would bring her safely ashore again
