And the man said he didn't stay

will hollow out and we'll have to put
plugs in them with gold tops to give

This wasn't very pleasant pros.

certain for himself whether he did grit
his teeth unduly. And while he was
still unable to stay awake long enough
to find out. he did discover that he had
habit Mt times of gritting his teeth in
his waking moments. when he sat back
from his work to think of something,
for instance. And he made up his
mind that he would stop that. anyway,
and he hoped that he might thus stop
grinding his teeth in his sleep. If he

CHAPTER XIV.
Rescued 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 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 fired and be-
fore daylight began to dawn Dan came
to grief in a most unexpected manner.
The river b. ought with it all kinds of
driftwood 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 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 lie
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
ioue 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 fraiI old craft like a 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 q knot, dark as the water
itself, projected above the surface, and
the thing stood like rock directly in
front Of the fisherman'e boat.
Unconscious of it's presence he sent
the old craft against it with a terrific
weep Of the oars and the results were

CHAPTER NIV-Continued.

i n
The northsders guarded their traps.
1t was believed that with the approach
,f night the southsiders would steal
1pon the traps in squads and attempt
their destruction. The trouble had
oeen too long brewing to give up after
one slight engagement. The fishermen
On both sides felt that a 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 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 number of
the men. But the fishermen were bad
ty 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-
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
we're 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-
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
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
it. Then she drew a snail skiff to
the water's edge. 1t would not live in
a heavy storm, but Sankala knew that
if 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.

American Known by His French.

to try life in a pension. He had been
told Of nice house, but had also been
told that the hostess spoke very lit.

walked there from the hotel where
he was temporarily stopping the Judge
carefully prepared a neat little speech
of introduction, composed in what he
presumed was classic French. He ar.
rived, he rang the bell, the hostess
appeared, and the judge began, "Je
suis un American" Il am an Ameri-

The lady had listened politely to
every syllable, and then she said In
the purest English, Pardon me, sir
