CHAPTER XIII. ,'
A Clash on the Water.
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.

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.

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
