Oh, why did l ever let you gop
For Bill cid not look around Al
ready the sound of the waters lad
obscured the voices on the shore.
Again she called, unheard. Then she
dashed her horse with the bride
rein.
The animal strobe down into the
water. Vospe", ms craven soul
whimpering within him, had fallen to
the last place in the line, but Louns-
bury tried to seize her bride us she
pushed forward.
Where are you going, you little
fool?" he cried Come back"
The girl turned her head. Her face
was white. "You told him to go in"
she replied. "Now-it's the sporting
thing-to follow him"
The water splashed about her
horses knees.
Ahead of her, a dim ghost in the
half-light, Bill rode on toward the
opposite shore. And now-full half
way oeress-he was in the full force
of the current.
1t was all too plain that his horse
was battling for its life.
But Mulvaney was true. Perhaps
some of his riders strength went
into his thews and sustained him.
Slowly the water dropped lower. He
was almost to- safety.
At that instant Bill glanced
around, intending to warn the party
not to attempt the crossing. He saw
the dim shape of Virginia close be-
him, riding into the full strength of
the current.
All color swept in an instant from
his face, leaving it gray and ashen
as the twilight itself. He knew that
Busters strenfth was not that of
Mulvaney, and he couldn't live in the
deepest, swiftest part of the river
that lay before her.
Turn back he said. HTurn your
horse, Virginia-easy as you can"
At the same instant he turned his
own horse back into the full fury of
the torrent.
Buster wheeled, struggling to keep
his feet. Mulvaney pushed ony clear
to the deepest, widest portion of the
stream. And then Virginia's horse
pitched forward into the wild waters.
In the half light it was impossible
even for Bill to follow the lightning
events of the next second He saw
the horse struggle, founder, then
roll on his back from the force of the
current. 1t swept him down as the
wind sweeps a straw. And he saw
Virginia struggle to shake loose froh
the saddle. He had but an instant's
glimpse of a white face in the gray
water, of hair that streamcd; an in
stant's realization of faint cry that
the waters obscured.
He knew the terrors of that gray
whirlpool below. He had every rea-
son to believe that by no possible
effort could he save the girl; he
would only throw away his own life,
too.
Yet he was out of the saddle al

VIRGINIA FREMONT.

This was the note that brought Bill
Bronson to the brink of Grizzly river
on snow-driven day of October In
his party were Kenly Lounsbury, his
nephew's fancee, Virginia, and
Bronson's cook, Vosper.
The weather, promising fair when
they had ridden out of Bradleyburg
into the forest, had turned cold. A
heavy snow blanketed the forest; a
snow that might have induced Bill
Bronson to turn back, except for two
things
One was the promise that he had
given Virginia fremont to find her
lost lover-a man whom he dimly
recollected as having met several
years previously. The other was
that this trip into the wilderness
gave him one more chnace to look
for his fathers lost mine, somewhe re
beyond Grizzly river.
Bronson's father and man named
Rutherford had discovered this mine !;
they worked it together for season
and then no more could be learned
of them or their whereabouts till 1T
was verified that Rutherford had
crossed from Canada into the States
with the whole seasons gleanings of
gold, amounting to vast sum. Be
You'd the border he disappeared COM
pletely-and the only possible deduc-

elder Bronson and stolen the gold.

one. On the other side was a cabin
which Bronson had erected as part of
the chain he used when trapping

kenly Lounsbury, fresh from the
office where he had amassed wealth
by his wits, wanted that comfort.

ed of Bill.
Sure, if you want" answered the
woodsman, tall, straight, square
shouldered, not dare devil but not
lacking in courage.

test. Every ounce of his strength
was needed. He was heavily clothed

quilted her. He sprang with his full
strength into the stream.
On the bank the two men saw it as
in dream. They called out in their
impotence, and they gazed with hor-
ror-widened eyes. The waters swept
the struggling figures down the
stream and out of their sight!
MuNaney, riderless, was battling

LOCAL FISHERMEN DO
 THEIR OWN THINKING

Members Of Che local halibut fleet have decided to ignore the closed season on halibut proposed by Che Seattle fishermen, as they claim this closed season is not suggested as a means of protection for the fish but because tho weather conditions on Che banks at this time of Che year are too unsettled to allow tho larger fishing vessels practically an Of thom Ash out Of Soattle-to lsh at a profit. The smaller local craft how ever. can run Co shelter during a storm and Che loss Of a few days makes but little difference to them Tho owners Of these larger vessels object to this advantage which thc smaller vessels have over them. our local fishermen declare, and have taken this means to even matters.
 It appears that a closed season at this time would be of little benefit Co Che fish. as Che spawning season' which takes place during the months of November December and January. is now over and tho fish have returned Co the banks. An thc local fishermen are very much in favor of a closed season for halibut as they claim the number of these fish ia being rapidly depleted. but they insist that the time for protcc- tIon is when Che Ash arc spawning. not afterwards
 Oliver Orange. superintendent Of tho cold storage plant. states that at present Che halibut price is low be- cause of large supply on hand in Seattle. but tho fishermen now on the banks expect to get from 70 to t2 cents a pound for their fish whan they return. The local vessels now fishing are Che Olga. Valhalla, s's- nal.

There is one innovation in Che KotchIkan school which might well be adopted by lhc other schools Of the Torr tory. A competent music teacher ha beon engaged who deyotos practically all his time Go thc musical education or Che children. especially in voice cul- turc.
 Kotchikan has voted one hundred thousand dollars towards putting mp a new school building. but this will not be available until Che bonds are sold and it is improbable that any work win Doe done on Che building this year.
