Trouble Brewing.
Seadoff owned large store. It was
a aurt of eonitniiwv where all tie
fishermen were compelled to trade,
either directly or indirectly. Tbone
employed by Seadog had to trade with
him and the others bad to trade with
him also, because be bad platted the
town and placed a proviso in the deed
to all the lots which he sold to the
effect that the grantee should not deal
in certain merchandise. This item
covered about eveiy thing. Even
piritous, venous and malt liquors weie
prohibited. Still there were nearly
half a doten saloons in tbe place, but
Beadog had contracts by which he re
ceived, directly or indirectly, the larger
per eent ol the profits. He also owned
the local cannery. Chinamen were
worked in the place. They lived at a
mess house where existence on rice
and spoiled fish was easy, and they
worked for Seadog for a lew cents a
day. He bad smuggled thein overland
cross tbe Canadian boundary and they
believed they were compelled to re
main in his employ, and they were in
a measure, for Beadog was not known
in the unlawful transaction and could
hava handed them ever to the author!'
ties without risk to himself. He
might have sent someol bis hirelings to
ihe aovernment prison, but be did not
mind this. Men were cheap and
mnn valuable.
Old Beadog also owned miles of flub
traps. Tbe ragged lines of piling
forming wings and hearts extended op
and down tbe bay and to tbe middle of
tha rlvnr trom DlsanDoInt merit to Mo
Gnwan's. about a dozen miles.
It is true that a few men had taken
ilMnUm oi their rlithts under the
law and bad secured locations and bad
constiucted traps, but it was necessary
to guard these like treasures. If they
were left alone the "storms" tore up
ilia nillnir end Beadoa'i traps were con-
trnntoit in frrnl and on the side of
them so that even the luckless fish
found their wav to the flshermens'
rana hv the sheerest accident.
One bv one ther bad succumbed and
old to Beadog at bis own price, except
tbe few who preferred to work and
llva than become the slaves of
any man.
It was on tbe fatal morning upon
which Bankala and Ringwold dared
tbe storm. Old Beadog was up
a&rlv. as was his custom. He iuperln
itnli all of his own business. He
lft nothing of Importance to others.
It was to this fart that he attributed
his iicnaaa. and be admonished bis
one to follow in bis footsteps.
' Tha atorm was raiting and the man
of wealth did not care to stir abroad
n .rlv. He aiew confidential with
Mrs. Beadog. He did this occasional
ly. but it was only when mal ten arose
that closely anecieu urn ouaineaa in
terests. He was by no means a faith
fnt husband to her. as many ot the
fishermen knew, but be had great con
fidence In her good Judgment, and
ought bee divce in tbe matters that
weighed upon mm neavuy.
He was still seated at the table,
Davlluht bad not vet begun to dawn
Tl.a storm was raving, 'ihe mitt and
rain fell upon the roof with a rsiipin
annnd. The other member of the
familv had left the dining room.
Beadog did hei own dishes. Bhe aid
this from choice because she had been
brought up to work.
"Let tha worn go lot awhile, wite,
and est down," said the husband.
Mrs. Beadog obeyed the requect
resdlly. Bhe knew something was
rnmlnii. Bhe had already seen it in
her husband's eves and in his actions
But what woman does not like to be
taken into the confidence of her bus
band?
"Do vou know, wifo, I am In more
trouble than a trap full of fish,' said
aid Beadog when bis wife was seated.
"I thought the foolish prejudU:
sainst old Ringwold and Bankala
u iomethina ' to worrv about, but
now the trouble are multiplying like
sun fish.
"Tha title to tbe townaite is threat
ened. The gill nettors are prepaiing
for devilment and even the government
had a secret service man here a few
davs airo trying to associate me with
the unlawful importation of the pig
tails who work in my cannery."
"I do not undei aland all of this,
even a part of it," said the anxious
wife. "I thought yon had a deed to the
townaite property. The g.llnetter I
thought had recognised your measure
ment of the river, and as to the impor
tation of tbe Chinamen, I supposed the
half-breed and bis sun-in-law were re
sponsible lor that."
"But you can't count on anything
these days," continued the fisherman
king. "When old Lapham made the
deed to hi homestead that night just
before be died in a drunken fit, there
were several present. But all of them
are dead from di owning or otherwise,
except one of the witnesses that signed
the instrument. He ha got foolish
religious ideas in his head and is try
Ing to make trouble. 1 had my book
keeper give bim 1100 and send him to
the Bound, and that may quiet bim.
But tbe transaction is beginning to
cost me something. Bumbo, the law-
yet who drew up the deed, was stand
ing in with the other fellow in a way
and I bad to employ hlra yeeterdsy by
the year. He doesn't cost much, it
is true, bnt it all count in the end
when you are not certain they consider
. themselves paid in lull.
"But I only bave ti keep this mat
ter off about three year more. Dan
Lapham 1 the only heir. He la now
nineteen. If he neglect to take action
for a year after be comes of sge he losei
all bis right under the statute of lim
itations." "How about the gillnettera, hus
band?" Inquired Mrs. Beadog.
"Well, fish are getting scarce on their
ldeof tbe river. They are tcarce
everywhere, fot that matter. But
tine the government Jetty was built on
DeLone'y J
that side, the fish run In larger school
on thi ide. The gillnettter claim
that I am across tbe line. They are
threatening to destroy my traps and
swamp my boats.
"I sent one of my trusted men among
them, who joined their union and be
inform me that they are planning to
make a night raid In a few day. I
have had conference with the govern
or of tbe state and be is holding tbe
militia in readiness to eome on notice
from tbe sheriff, I shall furnish them
a boat at a good rental in which they
will patrol the river and Keep tne
south-sider back.
"The only trouble, though, 1 that
the state may take up the matter, and
induce the United State government
to make survey. This will cost me a
number of trap or a neat sum to the
surveyor. These two are matters of
magnitude, but tbe Chinese importa
tion trouble will be easily handled. I
will send tbe half-breed and hit daugh
ter' husband to ihe pen and that will
top them.
"And Dan Lapham well, be 1
daring devil. You know be tend a
trap alone. Although be can swim like
a trout, the single boatmen are lost
sooner or later."
Tbe conversation bad lasted until
long after daylight. Tbe husband and
wife were suddenly interrupted by one
of their ions.
'Have you beard the newB?" he
asked as he entered hurriedly, and then
without waiting for a reply, be added:
'One fishing boat went down near
the sand spit and two fishermen were
lost. Another was seen entering the
breaker at Paciflo Rocks. Btillanoth,
er, thought to nave containea uan
Lapham, turned turtle oil Chinook
Point, and old Ringwold and Bankala
shot behind Disppointment Rock. It
i the worst morning of tbe season."
"It is an ill wind that blow no one
good I" remarked old Beadog. ;
CHAPTER X.
Bitter Prospects.
The storm had continued throughout
the duy and arose at nigbt with renew
ed fury. It was a common thing to
have week of storms at this season of
the year and the sun rsrely ever showed
itself. But every storm was the
"worst" and the oldest individual
would verify tbe fact.
It only goes to show how qnlckly
people forget even the unpleasant
thing of life. A month of rain and
sleet and snow last year, which at the
time was declared unbearable, 1 for
gotten in the spring sunshine and when
another winter Storm comes, although
mild compared with former ones, it is
a record-breaker while it lasts and the
complaint is lung and loud
But such Is the way of weak, frivolous
humanity. It was sunshine yesterday;
is storming today and tomorrow will
be whatever the temperament suggests
It amounts to nothing anyway; forevei
complaining forgiving, expecting, be'
lng disappoint! d and disappointing otb
era; yesterday mena is toaay ene
my; in the deepest poverty and die
ties yesterday, rich and happy today
After all the mind Is the weather vane
In life' short span of time and the
tongue tbe thermometer. Whatever the
mind conceives is so, and the tongue
indicates the state of the mind. Life
is storm or sunshine just as the mind
makes it, and the wagging tongue re
cords the impression.
But whether in reality it was the
mildest or most severe storm in tbe
history of the fishing village on th
north hanks ot the Columbia, In tbe
mind of one it was tbe darkest hour of
her life. The wind bUw loudei, the
rainfall on the toot was more rasping
and the night had closed in with great'
er darkness. Tbe fire flickered more
gloomily and the shadow flitted about
more ghoslily.
The cupboard seemed scantier, the
Inrnifjre rougher, the bed clothing
lighter, the floor was more bare and
even the good natured house cat seemed
gloomier as the rain and wind raged
outside and beat upon the cabin a if it
were cursed and doomed forever.
Bankala was usually of a light heart
and spirit, but ber nature wa all
crushed tonight. Bhe sat beside tbe
bed which was drawn near the fire
Bhe gased into the flames with tuar
stained eyes. Bhe would look into th
future, but there wa nothing to see
Then the terrible episodes of the day
flashed through her mind like a succes
sion of night-mares or hideous dreams.
But she did not forget her duty. As
regular a the clock would she turn and
change the damp cloths upon Ring
wold' head and examine the hot
smoothing-iron at his feet. The cloths
were kept cold and the irons were kepi
hot.
Ringwold baiely breathed. The ex
citement of the day had about cut the
last thread that held bis feeble old life.
When the life savers rescued them tbe
boat had it nose against Destruction
Hocks, winch point no boat had . ever
reached before and been saied. Ring
wold knew nothing of the rescue. His
last conscious moment were to see
himself and Bankala going to destruc
tion. When he saw the Inevitable and
the struggling frail child battling with
the mountains of sea the feeble old man
collapsed in a heap in the bottom of
the boat.
The long houi of exposure had told
on bim and it was already whispered
about tbe village that tonight waa Ring
wold' last night on earth. But the
fishermen had become accumstomed to
hi sinking spell and Bankala wa left
alone with him.
Bankala had not been afraid. She
wa not afraid now. It waa not be
cause she wa less refined than other
giilt or naturally braver than other
girla. It wa because the had oeen
schooled against fear. Her life had
been her schooling and it bad been one
in which all of the hardship had been
taught in p radical lessons. Not per
formed and rehearsed for tbe occasion,
but lesion that came with tbe routine
of every day life.
When a mere babe she had been cast
ashore like so much driftwood. And
11 of ber young life the bad been
buffeted abogt on tbe bay and river is
s small fishing boat like a cockle-shell.
Bhe bad become so interlinked with
danger that it seemed hei constant com
panion and she only thought of It as
such.
That kid was a calm when we
drew her from tbe jaw of death a if
she were rowing boat on a summer'
day," bad remarked one of tbe life
aver.
"The first thing ibe did wa to bend
over the old man and begin rubbing hi
bands," said another.
It was not Bankala' bad seamanship
oi lack of (kill that led ber across the
danger line, but it wa her lack ot
strength. The trap they tended lay to
tbe west nearer tbe bar than other
nd while rounding tbe rock to reach
th trap the undertow, unusually strong
from th all night atorm, caught ber
and carried ber boat away by sheer
force.
Bhe wa meditating over the day'
xciting episodes and the condition of
ber companion. Young as she was,
he knew that Ringwold could not last
much longer. They were reduced to
the direst straits. Fishing waa poor
and wages were poorer. Ringwold wai
no longer useful. He waa more of
hindrance as a co-worker. Hi com
pan onehlp wa all that was left her.
They now only earned a scant living
and should Ringwold become bed-ridden
(he did not know what i he would
do. - He had not confided fully to her
tbe secret of her life and the mysteries
of the documents concealed under the
hearth. Would these help her? Bhe
made up ber mind that should Ring
would recover again sue would broach
tbe subject to bim.
It wa not so much for hei own self
that she was prompted, but she wished
to ease the old man' life in hi last
day. He bad made great itruggle
for ber and abe wished to repay bim in
some way.
While meditating over ber troubles,
there came loud, heavy knock at tbe
door.- It sounded like tbe rap of
doom. Bhe could not tell why, but
she trembled. Bankala waa Dot in the
habit of experiening such sensations.
She went to tbe door and opened it.
"Come in I" abe laid in hollow
tone.
It waa old Beadog! What could
bring bim at inch an hour of tbe
night. Ilien old Seadog always tent
for his employe instead of calling
upon them.
Will you be Mated?" asked tbe
girl.
No. Have but t minute. How i
Ringwold?"
"I cannot tell," replied Bankala
"He Is quite feeble, but he ha been
that way quite often of late. He is
getting very old, you know."
"Ye," replied Seadog. "He i get
ting too old and feeble to work. He
ha become worthless to' me. I name
to tell you that I bave bad your trap
provided for. He should be taken to
the poor farm and, I presume that is
the best place for you, Bankala you
know you would like to be by tbe old
man aide his remaining days. I will
look after the arrangements tomorrow."
Thus spoke old Beadog. Then be
turned and walked out into tbe gloom
without saying good-night.

8TORY FROM AN ABSTRACT.
Farm Now In Kansas City Hold by Sen
ator Cockrell In Hoyhood.
M Senator Francis Marion Cockrell
could have foreseen wheu he wus
boy that the great city of the Missouri
valley would be built here (it tbe June
tlon of the Kaw and Missouri rivers
be might now be a multimillionaire. In
examining un abstract to a lot on
Tracy, between Thirty-sixth and Thlr
ty-seventU streets, It. J. Holmiltm, tin)
attorney, niado the discovery that
Cockrell, In 1847, when he was a boy
of 13, owned eighty acrea there, and
he sold it all fur IWK). The lot which
Mr. Ilolimlmi was looking up sold ro
cently for 15,000.
The lund, 640 acres of It, was deeded
by the United States government In
Wil to the State of Missouri for semi
nnry purpose, The tract wns nil of
section 21, township 40, range 3.'i. In
1S33 Joseph Cockrell, father of the
Senator, bought eighty ncres of It from
the State for $2.01! an ncre. Mr. Cock
rell died, and in 1S47. when I'rnftrla
Marlon Cockrell wns 13 years old. ho
petitioned the court, through his guar
dinn, to sell the eighty acres.
In his petition be an Id that he al
ready owned a farm In Wnrrensliurg
sufficiently large for bis needs when
be should become of age, and, besides,
he on Id., the big storm of 1844, the
year of the great flood, had blown
down all the trees on his eighty-acre
truct In Jackson county and therefore
It would be useless for him to hold It
because, when ho would come of age,
the timber would be all dead. Illcks
and Smart of Independence were Cock
rell' lawyer. The court grunted his
request and the land was bought by
Joseph Brown for IK)0. Kansas City
Star.
Storm Cannons.
, .The storm cannons now In use along
the southern side of the Alps, where
damage from hailstorms during har
vest time la Imminent, look like a hugo
megaphone, such as boat-crew coaches
use, and they are set, with their wide
mouths gaping skynand, beside little
houses thnt look like sentry boxes.
When they are fired they boom like
"sure enAugh" 'calmons, and fcend re
verberating, echoing, boom-booms car
romlng about among the hillsides; but
Instead of a ball or shell, or other sim
ilar projectile, they emit a ring of
smoke which grows larger and larger
as It ascends, until at last, before It
breaks. It Is big euough to surround a
ten-acre field. . What the effect of a
moke ring upon a mischievously In
tent cloud la I cannot exactly say, but
Instead of ball, only raiu falls when
the gun are used, and damage to
crop 1 prevented.

A TRIP TO THE MOON.
tome of the Odd Thins One Might Fins
on ttach a Voyage.
How would you like to take a trip
to the moon? It would! be long
Journey, taking more than six months
if you went with the speed of ha ex
press train; or if you traveled with
the swiftness of ball from modem
cannon, it would take about long
a trip across the Atlantic in a fast
steamer. Under average atmsopherlc
conditions, large telescope gives up
view of the moon as it would be
without the telescope at a dUtauce ot
800 miles from us.
The necessary outfit for the Journey
must be much more extensive than for
any trip on the earth, even tbe trip
to the North Pole. There will be no
chance "to live off the country." In
addition to warm clothing and food
you must carry with you all you need
to drink, and the problem of keeping
it from freezing or thawing it out If
frozen will not be an easy one to
solve. There Is practically no air on
the moon, and you must take along a
supply for breathing. If you expect
to make a fire and cook your dinner
you must take, in addition to fuel, an
additional supply of air to keep your
fire going.
But suppose that in some way you
are landed on the moon with a supply
of things necessary for sustaining life.
If you are on a part of tbe moon on
which the sun Is shining you will mar
vel, perhaps, first of all, at the
dazzling brilliance of the sunlight and
the intense blackness of the shadows.
Everything in the shade will be in al
most total darkness, as there is no air
filled with little dust particles to scat
ter the sunlight so that it may Illu
minate tbe places out of the direct
path of Its rays.
And what a sense of desolation will
present Itself to your view I The Desert
of Sahara would look like a luxuriant
park In comparison with the lunar
landscape. Not a blade of grass, not
tree, or brook, or lake nothing but
vast, stony, silent desert. There are
plains, not quite as level as our West
ern prairies and great numbers of
mountains, most of them much steeper
than those on the earth, they nre not
grouped In long ranges, as our terres
trial mountains generally are, but are
scattered all over the surface, singly I
and In irregular groups. Most of them
re shaped more or less like our ter
restrial volcanoes, and they probably
were volcanoes ages ugo, before the
moon cooled off.
If you happen to land on a part of
the moon where It Is early morning
you will bave plenty of time for ex
plorations before night comes on. The
sun rises and sets ns It does ou the
earth, but the time between sunrise
and sunset Is nearly fifteen of our
day. Then during the long lunar
night our earth will act like the moon,
and will light up that part of the
moon' urfnce which Is turned to
ward It. Only there will be this curl
ous difference: It will not rise and set,
but will remain nearly stationary In
the same region of the sky. From the
side of the moon which Is always
turned away from us the earth, of
course, can never be seen at all. St.
Nichols.
GERMAN OFFICERS AS SPIES.
Always Bnejr Acquiring Information
of (Military Valne.
How many know that every German
naval officer who Is ostensibly taking a
holiday In the United States is In real,
ity a spy? Thst Is the plain Enjcllsh
word that best flta the case, tlioujjb, ol
course, even the Germans do not call
their officers In foreign countries by
that name. The reason Is that the
German naval officer Is never off duly.
When on a holiday he Is expected to
go to foreign countries, where he must
endeavor to visit arsenals. Inspect bat
tleshlps and acquire as much informn
tion as possible, barked up by rough
maps and sketches, all of whh'h lie
sends back to the Gorman admiralty
Hence, when a German naval oflleei
"visits" the United States his "visits'
to Fort Wadsworth and to our navy
yards and shipyards are not entirely
disinterested.
Every officer In the German navy li
taught to sketch from memory, aud
according to his skill In drawing, he It
marked out for promotion. When the
German training ship Charlotte, with
the crowu prince aboard, "visits" the
United States, on her online around the
world, certain it Is that (lie offleert
will go ashore and make "memory
sketches" which will afterward be
made Into maps. Thus, should Gor
many ever be at war with the United
States the fact that we have hospita
bly afforded opportunities for sketch
lug our fortified positions will prove ot
Immense advantage to the Germans
For every German experience Ir.
such matters Is recorded, an I have
said, for future use, and thus "holi
day" experiences are utilized foi
checking, correcting and enlarging Ger
man naval maps and charts of placet
uot only in the United States, hut slue
In all parts of the world. Turning to
the Uarman army, the same "memory
sketching" aud the same making ot
maps are expected of all officers "off
duty," particularly In the United
States and England. Leslie's Weekly.

Matter of Buaineae,
"Lovely weather, Isn't It?" remarked
one street car passenger to another.
"Lovely!" echoed the party of the

"My friend." explslned the other, "J
