Grand Marais Again in Danger.

Duluth, Minn.-Grand Marais is
girdled by. roaring mountains of fire
and smoke apd 1t is believed that man
named Monker'i and six Indians. cut
off from town by fire in their efforts
to save homesteaders at Nester, have
perished in the flames.
This is the news brought in Tuesday
noon by Adj Gen. Wood and officers
of the Minnesota naval militia who ar
rived on the Gopher from the north
shore. The Gopher is in for coal and
provisions and will return to Grand
Marais tomorrow
They say the danger is not over by
any means. LutZen, a small settlement
near Grand Marais. is in the greatest
danger, say the naval militiamen. 1t is
surrounded by fire and everything
there seems doomed to destruction, al
though 1t is not thought that any loss
of life will occur. e.

to what were best to be done.
"It's-I'm sure it's"

have no more chance of escaping from
that boat than We have of getting

Ellen's face gloomed as she spoke.
To be foiled after all she had gone
through by Sir Charles Seton. whose
pursuit of her. after all, was simply
for this mawkish, whimpering Debo-

life she hated was more than she
could bear. She came to sudden res
olution.
"I'll run the boat ashore and es-
cape through the woods rather than be

She swung the tiller over, hauled
aft the sheet and in a moment the
boat was running toward the island.

MAN WAS TAKING NO CHANCES.
Elaborate Precautions to ForestaII the
Festive Germ.

A man whose poor hearing obliges
him to use a speaking tube met an
other man who certainly deserves to
be set down as the champion foe to
germs. The meeting took place in the
street. The deaf man signified his de-
sire for conversation on a certain sub
ject. The enemy to germs listened to
the question put to him, then surveyed
his end Of the speaking tube dubious

took the deaf man by the arm and
piloted him into drug store, where
he called for liquid dsinfectant in
which he proceeded to immerse a por.

In those days long shoal, of which
Ellen knew nothing, jutted out into
the roads. She did not throw her boat
deliberately on the shore, but ran
along it looking for some suitable
place to land. Seton's lugger, of
course, followed her motions. They
were both under the lee of the island,
which broke the force of the breeze
somewhat, but Ellen's vessel, being
the smaller got the worst of it and
felt the wind less. Seton's boat was
rapidly overhauling the other. In five
minutes it would be alongside. Ellen
swung the helm over and desperately
headed straight for the shore.

There was a sudden scream from
Mistress Debbie. The boat in which

The little cutter grated upon the edge
of the shoal. Ellen sprang to the
helm, forgetful of everything else but
the present peril. Her boat go

She hoped that the touch had been SO

lugger. They were rocking their boat
furiously and making every effort to
get of, but they had gone on fair and
square, the tide was on ebb, and
Ellen concluded they were fixed for
some time.
She rose in the stern sheets and
laughed gleefully. She put her boat
about and ran down to pass in easy
hail of Sir Charles and his men.
"Good-by." she called, laughing
with mockery that stung him, before
an hour we shall be aboard yon ship.

What are you going to do?" asked
Deborah again.
Use these on them" answered
Ellen
I You would not murder?"
Peace, child. l have no bullets
These are but blank cartridges. Per-
haps l can frighten them"

Deborah. Don't try. 1t will only
make him more angry, and"
But Ellen stood up in the boat,
balancing herself lightly in spite of
the pitching, pointed her pistol at
the other boat now not more than
half mile away. and pulled the trig-
ger. There was tremendous report,
for Ellen had put in an extra large
charge in default of a bullet
Someone in the boat astern stood
up and waved his hat
Ellen let him have the other pistol.
OF course, there was sound and moth
ing more. But the concussion, the
noise and the smoke relieved her feel
ings. Deborah covered down in the
boat, released the tiller, let go the
sheet and stopped her ears with her
fingers. Ellen dropped her pistols
and by the quickest kind of work,
seized the tiller and sheet and got the
boat under control before she broached
to. 1t was narrow escape, however,
and convinced Lady Darlington that
she could not indulge in any more
sham battling. She watched the other
boat carefully as her own gathered
way once more but could detect NO
evidence that her firing had in the
least intimidated those who were
coming so recklessly after her
Promising Deborah that she would
not fire them again, she got the young
woman to take the helm once more
while she reloaded her pistols. She
would have given anything for
couple of good honest leaden bullets.
If she had even had jeweled ring,
she would have pounded it into shape
and rammed it down the barrel, but
she had divested herself of all her
jewels except her wedding ring and
she could not make up her mind to
blow that away in the present emer-
gency. Still the pistols were heavily
charged and at close quarters there
would be an unpleasant dose of pow
der for anyone who tried to molest
her.
The other boat was coming up hand
over hand now. In half an hour she
would be alongside Ellen swept the
harbor ahead of her and was sur
prised to see-she had not noticed 1t
in the interest excited by the chase
coming down under full sail large
ship, an American merchantman EVIL
IDENTIFY. She jumped to the conclusion
that it must be the New Eagle. II
she could intercept that ship and get
aboard of her, her troubles would be
over. Provided the ship were willing
to heave TO or to check her way, the
boarding of her would be an easy mat
ter. and Ellen was sailing on such
course that the interception Of her

They were, like the merchantman,
beating down the harbor and it seemed

chasing after the merchant ship.
She was more and more convinced
az she studied 1t. that 1t could be none
other than the New Eagle. With sal
walton staring her in the face. Ellen
feared that she would be unable to
