It required only a few minutes time tor Dan to cover the space between the laland and the thore. The water was aa calm ai an inland lake and bia boat ahot forward under bit iteady and powerful itrokea like an arrow. Only a few lights remained in the Tillage. The one in Bankala's cabin I tood like a beacon light to him and to It ha directed bia boat. Hia annety grew with every atroke of the oar to learn the fate of the old man and the girl. He landed hie boat and stealthily diew It aibore and bid it behind the driftwood, aa a matter of precaution. Tbs morning waa approaching and he knew that be only had limited time in wbicb to arouse the fishermen, but be first hurried to the cabin of Saukala nd Ringwold. A gentle tap on the door brought Bankala to it with the agility of a cat. She bad aat by the bedside of Kingwold throughout the long weary hours of the night and had noted every breath he drew. Bbe aaw that he was resting better, with tears of relief in her eyes. He bad finally drifted into deep Bleep nd even the youthful Hankala could lee that it wai a natural repose, and built np vague hopes that be would re cover sufficient strength that he might void becoming a public charge. Bhe bad already made np her mind that i he would not go to the p"or farm herself. 6b knew that she could se cure torn kind of employment that would earn her board ad clothing, hut ahe doubted ber ability to provide for ber aged foaler father, should ha be come helpless. They were already reduced to the moat abject poverty and what the mor row might bring was punling the young girl's mind sorely. "Oh, yon atlll live!" exclaimed Lap ham when Eankala opened the door. "And yon I" repeated the girl. "And Ringwold, too," added the yoong fisherman aa ha looked over to ward tba bed. "This makes me feel better, Ban kala," continned Dan. "I had given you np for loat. I want you to tell ane about it another time. I must be going. There is business yet before daylight of the most Important kind." "And I thought you were lost, too, Dan," said the girl, bursting into tears. "Yon weie the only one who ever helped ns and with you gone after what baa occurred tonight, I felt that there was but little to hope for us." Iben Bankala told him briefly of what old Beadog had done. Dan Lap- ham waa a true Amerl-an citizen. He -was aa brave aa a lion, as teiiderheart ad aa woman, as honest aa day and M charitable aa aushlne. He drew fortb hii water soaked purse. It contained a five dollar gold piece and soma silver change. He lipped it all from the purse and gave It to Bankala. "Oh, no, Dan. You will need it," (Mid the girl. "I bate aome more," he replied cheerfully but falsely. "Besides," he continued earnestly and truthfully, "I have strength to earn more, rrovlde for yourself and Bingwold today and I Will lea you again. Little one, King' wold shall not gc to the county hos pital, and yon shall alt by bla aide and minister to bla wanta so long as he hall live. Muscle, hard work and aocnomy will do it Bankala, and yuu may count on me." He told her of the aouthsldors' ar nvai a me isiauu ami mimed away to arouse Li la lel'ow tlBherint'ii to arms "bo tne long eipnctetl clash la at . aid i lit i i i nanui reuiaiaeu Panama as lie was leaving. "Yes, and I fear it will be bloody one," replied Dun. "Do your duty, Dim, but use Judg menu uo not recklessly throw your life away," cautioned the girl aa the young fishermau disappeared in the darkness. The patriots of 1770 were not aroused more rapidly by Paul Hnvere than were the fishermen of the little village that night by Dan Lapham, They had long Men expecting the trouble and were prepared. As soon as one fisherman waa awakened be sent a runner on to the next and within a few minutes they were rushing to the shores of the bay from every direction armed for tba defense of tbeir traps. When as emoieo on tne Deacn matters were hurriedly explained to them. It was decided to go immediately to the head of the Island and take the aouthsiders by surprise at dawn. Tha boata were dragged into the water, tha oar wera hurriedly muflled, nd every man looking well to hia rma, the small fleet pulled silently out toward Band island, Dan Ijtpham leading the way, Old Beadog was man of nerve. He aa unacquainted with fear. And he waa moat intereated in the success of the northsiders in the impending troa bio. While tha fishermen's employ (neat and wagea war at stake, old 8ea dog's property waa Involved. He loved tbia as be did his life and took com mand ot tha armed fishermen with the firmness of an experienced admiral who want to wlnth bat tie at any sacrifice. Beventy-five men had been gathered la the rush and othera were expected to follow tinder tha leadership of one ol Beadog'i sons who had been given another commission to perform. He had been Instructed to dispatch coul ter to tbe county scat to notify the aharia. This official would com muni eats witb tbe governor, who in turn would order out the state militia. Tba trouble had been under discus sion for years. It had entered politics and was tbe meant of arousing the ani Bsoslty of two states. The officers on tha south tide of tha liver stood by their fishermen, and those on tbe north aide were equally as loyal: It was an Inter-state affair and needed but the (ring of t gun to awaken largo citi- zenahln and nlunee tbe two state into most serious complications. Many of the fiahermen on both sides are ignorant foreigners, desperate char acters by reason of their calling and the hardships of fisherman's life, and when once atoused to arms would lose tbeir reason. Bloodshed and riot were now expected in their reddest form. Women and children looked out across the black Day witb anxious eyes and abated breath. Their fatbera and brothers and sons were stealing along the dark line to death or victory. They watched for the flash and listened for the report of the guns that meant death to some of their number, for they could not expect otherwise than that some of their loved ones must go. There wai none mote sad and mora anxious than Bankala. Bhe constantly left the bedside of tbe sleeping Ring wold and eased out Into tha gloom which still overshadowed the bay. Their only friend waa there, but she would not recall him if aha oonld. The true woman adheres more closely to principle than men, and while the death of a loved one rends their hearts to the greatest depths, they would make tbe sacrifice rather than yield to op pression or wrong. The vlllageia were not kept long in suspense. Tha first red flare of morn ing soon arose In the east. It ahot out its dim rays like retreating ghosts aftei a midnight prowl. On by one these flitted across the waters and disappear ed on the bosom of the ocean. Bright er rays followed that dispersed tbe shadows, and discovered the contending ishermen to eachother. That was all that was necessary. Tbe long pent np venom :n both fac tions was released. Tbe shaft of death was burled. Lead and ball sent npon their terrible mission. A fusilade boomed out from the head of tha island. It wai answered in re turn farther to the nortb. Then des ultory firing was kept np along the line of fish traps. The rising sun drove back the imoka and the fishermen on either side lay doggedly on their oars, awaiting sec ond attack by the enemy. CHAPTER XIV. Bankala Btarta on Adventuie. Extreme old age 1 like childhood in msny ways. It is spoken of as second childhood almost universally and what becomes common expression among people it usually true. A maxim, an adage, quotation, legend or supersti tion does not become suoh until it has been demonstrated to bo true in theory or has good foundation for its origin. Old sge is Ilk youth in many waya. Both are pettish, fanciful Jealous and unreasonable and o'ten long for the impossible. But one of the greatest similarities in youth and age is the quickness with which the spark of life is extinguished or rekindled in either extreme. The Infant goes to sleep hale and hearty. It awaken to expire from some sudden attack of disease. The aged falls to sleep in the most cheerful moments to awaken no more. The In fant rallies Irom tbe point of death al most instantly ; it face soon wears I rmlle and all trace of suffering has passed. The aged are givon np for lost. The last spark of life maims extinguished. But suddenly the dull eye lids reopen with a flash. The wrinkled face is rekindled with life and the aged limbi become active, as if youth had re-on hired the body. It may tie spasmodic, it la true, hut age often battles with death for hours, days, weeks, months, and even years. Hankala slept no more that night. She stood in the partially opened door and alternately gazed out upon the bay and then upon tha form of the aged sleepor, who lay upon the bed near the lamp. The light between the Usher men was her tight. It la true that she was no longer one of them, but she had spent her life among them and their Interests appealed to her . as if they were her own. Uesiiles. Dan Lapham was one ol thorn. He had promised to save her aged friend from the county poor farm and this to her was almost aa important aa life Itself. Bhe felt an Interest in Pan other than this. They had tended their traps side by side. Dan was kind to her. He was kind to her dear old Ringwold. Bhe was frail and friendless. Dan was strong and companionable. It is natural for the weak to lean upon the strong. It is natural for the strong to support the weak. There is a fellow feeling be tween the weak and ationg that draws them to each other. Especially ia thla the case when the strong la man and tbe weak la a woman. When tba first shot waa fired that morning between the fishermen its re port reached Bankala. Bhe knew that Dan was there. Bhe knew that he would be in the front. A certain amount of alarm rame over her that can only be experienced by those who have been placed in aimilar position. And when tuailade after fusilade opened up, ner anxiety waa Immeasureable. But still she would not recall her friend from what she consideid to be bia duty. Bhe was still young, it is true, and bad been reared among peo ple who earned their livins battltnn with the elements people who spent weir lite In storms and on stormy waters, who had but little time, and less inclination, to devote to cnltlva. tton of the intellect. But Bankala had come irom different class, and her inheritance was manifest wherever ahe went. Bhe was superior to her po sition in spite of the conditions. She possessed all of the elements of tha r. fined woman without the cultivation. Duty, adherence to principle, tha da. fens of one's inherent rlehta is mnrn acred to such peopl than life Itself. Kingwold awoke with tbe dawn. A night of sound sleep had rekindled tha old spark of life. Th man wai his feeble old self again. How did it all hapnen. fUnk.l.V he inquired. When Bankala had told him of tha rescue, be continued. "We must be about our work, San kala, we must be about oar work. We must be off to tbe trap. I have not mnch strength left, and must use it while I can. Wo must away to tbs trap." Bankala dreaded to break tbe news of their discharge to him. Bbe knew that his old time pride was as strong ever, and she feared the knowledge that they were to become county charges would break his heart and snap tbe frail thread of life. But she found an excuse in not going to the trap on account of the fisher men s war. Bbe told Ringwold what bad happened, and at that very moment the report of the rifles reached their ears. "Give me my gum boots and the old gnn, Bankala, and I will go to the fight. I will teach those aouthsiders not to interfere with our traps I" said tbe feeble old fellow. "But you will be needed more at home, father." replied the girl. "The men may receive wounds and your knowledge of medicine and surgery will help more than your use of the gun." "I guess you are right, Bankala JL I.I iJ-. . it wuuiu nui uo ior you w go wild me and I doubt If I could pull the boat so far this morning after yesterday' hard iuck. jjut I'll help them in aome way, my gin. i can tie an arterv. set bone, sew np gash or take off a limb, if neceoBary. and they all know, Bankala, that no one in all of the Co lumbia river basin understands drugi as I do. Yet, Old Beadog oh, well the end is rapidly approaching." The combatant on tha bay practl cally lay npon tbeir oars all day after the close of the early morning attack The fishermen were not expert marks men and the casualties were not as ser lous as would have been expected from the number of shots fired at compare tively easy range. Two fishermen were brought ashore early in the forenoon and taken to hurriedly improvised hos pital. Ringwold had been summoned after it waa learned that ho was again on his feet and he dressed Jhe wound of the men ana gave mem tne attention ol trained nurse. It wag expected that night would bring on another attack. The south aider had gradually scattered during the day and their boat lay along the south shore of Band island while they noid their guns leady lor use. (To be continued) INDIAN PHYSICIANS OF OLD. - r Cold Water, Sweating, Purging, Vomit ing: and Kleediug Ware Hemadiaa. Undoubtedly the American Indian In hi primeval state was a fine specimen of physical manhood. Dr. E. J. Kempt, who baa made a careful Investigation into frontier history, baa found that before the Indiana were contaminated by the white race they never were af flicted with smallpox, measles, tuber culosis, gout, scurvy, insanity, nerv ous diseases nor any other of tbe ill and blood affection which have in late year made such terrible Inroad upon the number and vitality of tbe red men of thl country. The only bodily affliction which Dr. Kempt report to the Medical Record that be found among the aborigine were fever and diseases produced by cold, such as pleurisy, pneumonia, rheumatism, dysentery and wounds from accidents or battle. Naturally the remedies of tbe Indian were slm pie and few In number. When sick an Indian refused all kinds of stimulat ing aliments, but drank profusely of cold water. In addition to thla, In proper cases the Indian resorted to sweating, purging, vomiting and bleed ing, and finally, when all remedies seemed to be ineffectual, the medicine man was called in to try his amulet and Incantations on the patient. These methods of cure are still re sorted to among blanket Indians who are removed from the Influences of civilization. But before we smile or condemn tuVse practices we should con sider our own history. It was only few generations ago that our ideas of medicine were almost as crude as those of the Indians. Tho more Intelligent of the white people then, of course, did not resort to magic and Incantations, but the concoctions which they manu fnctured to cure dUcnses almost pass belief. Oliver Wendell Holmes, In his "Medical History of Massachusetts," has made a permanent record of some of the practices then prevailing ninong the colonists. Governor Winthrop was a devout believer In the efficacy of sowbugs, while tho ltev. Cotton Ma ther used upon his sick friends such absurd anil foul pellets ond medica ments as no Indian ever dreamed of. Kansas City Star. An Unfortunate ('hole. Mr. Black, with a family of eight could keep a cook, but Mrs. Green, who paid tho same wages and whose family numbered only two, experi enced the greatest difficulty in per suading one to stay with her. Mr. Gret'u was troubled about it, and nat urally sought suggestions wherever she could get them. One day the two women happened to meet at a newa dealer'a stand. "I'm buying," explnlned Mr. Black, "a Swedish newspaper for my cook. She like to read, and I take one home to her occasionally." "Whyl" exclaimed Mrs. Green. "I wonder if that's the reason you're so successful in keeping a girl. I've al ways wanted to know the secret" "Possibly if one of the reasons," admitted Mrs. Black. "I'm going to try it myself," an nounced Mrs. Green, promptly taking copy of the same paper. A week later the two women met again near an agency where Mrs. Green was looking for new cook. "Well," asked Mrs. Black, smiling-, "bow did the newspaper acheme work?" "It didn't work at all," confessed Mr. Green. "I bought a Swedish pa per, and the girl was Finn," Her lloaat.
