soldiers hocked ABOUT her and were
profuse with congratulations.

brave little heroine" said Captain
Budlong and left Hazel and rushSd to
grasp the hand of the orphan.
The men broke away at the ap-

Budlong was full OF praise for the girl,
inquired about her wounded ann and
was very attentive.

said the captain turning to Sankala's
escort after making the request of her.

captain for the music was just sarting

"It is simply shame-it is barn

THAT it Is, but it lie the way OF the
6eadogs. They were always hard
hearted wretches. The girl takes after
her father and is not to blame so much
after ALL"
"But she ought to have enough
woman about her to show that she
has . heart. The idea of going to the
ball and her poor old father lying at
the point OF death"
"But she is in love, you know, and
all people are fools who are in love.
Since that militia captain set foot on
shore she lost her head and has
thought of nothing else since. 1 don I
see anything in . state militiaman TO
lose ones head over. Why my hus-
band was q United States regular. If

"Still Captain Budlong is q nice fell

duty and made the southsiders 20

and you know that counte, too. 1t
would be feather In Hazel's cap IL she
could capture the captain of the
militia"
"Tbe average state militiaman is no
more than a dude, . rich mans son

him. He could take charge Of her

are true some one may be needed, for

The above conversation took place
between two matrons of the fishing viii
lage on the northside Of the Columbia.
Ten days Of peace had reigned on the
river. Since the arrival Of the militia
and dispersion of the fishermen there
had been no further trouble. The boat

CHAPTER xxI-Continued.

The clash finally came. The boat
came together like 90 many batterini
rams. Cures arose loud over tn,
calm waters. The boats surged bacl
and forth like living animals. The
grim dark forms of tho fishermen
writhed and contested with each otheI
like serpents of the see.
Back you gillnettersl You des-
tIoyeIs of the fishl" shouted the north
siders.
Away with you, you trappersl
You cause our families to starvel" re-
piled the men from the southside,
with bitter oaths.
The resistance on the part Of the
northsiders was short lived. The over-
whelming numbers against them soon
began to tell. By sheer force they
we've driven toward their traps. The
prows OF the southsiders' boats were
against theirs, and they were swept
along like driftwood before . huge
raft.
The red in the east was making
things more visible on the water. 1t
was easy to see that the northsiders
were losing ground at every point.
But suddenly = volley of shots rang out
down the river. Another followed.
The curses Of the fishermen rose above
these.
"The soldiers,?" shouted the north
sidets.
