Toilers of the Golumbia By PnUL DB LHNBY Rather ot "Lord ot thm Dettrt." "Oref o Sketchet." and other Paellle eomtt Storle CHAPTER XIV Continued. The northilderi guarded tbelr traps. It il believed that with the approach of night the southslderi would steal upon the trapi In squads and attempt their destruction. The trouble had been too long brewing to give up after one alight engagement. The fishermen on both aide felt that principle was involved and they were there to settle it by might. The gillnetteri declared that the trapa were gradually destroy ing the run of fish while the trappers claimed that the gillnets were doing greater harm to the industry than the trapa. The men had spent their lives fishing, the support of their families depended upon It, and it was truly a Vital Issue with them. The run of fish was getting lighter very year and whatever the fault might be it was evident that the In dustrv would soon become a thing of the past. It was natural that both idee should strike hard now as each respectively oonsidered that the other was the eause of the dying industry. The shore people bad communicated with the men on the water several time daring the day. The women had prepared meals and sent them out by the boy of the village to a number of the men. But the fishermen were bad ly scattered and many ot them went without meals. Bankala bad made many inquiries for Dan Lapham but he had not been seen since the departure of the boats from the north shore. He bad led the way and given direc tions fci the men to follow. But no one who had come ashore could give any tldinea of the vouns fisherman Bankala bad prepared two meals and sent them out by the boys but they were unable to find him. When night came still there was no tidings from the young fisherman The girl could endure it no longer Bhe prepared enough lunch for siege and slipped away to the beach unob served. Bhe knew that if Tan had not been killed or captured, he would be found near his trap at the lower end of the bay. The night was very dark, and a storm was brewing, but she believed that she could make it to his trap be fore it grew too dangerous. Bhe tried the fishing boat but hor strength was not sufficient to launch it. Then she drew srrall skiff to the water's edge. It would not live in heavy storm, but Bankala knew that if she eould reach Dan his strong arms would bring her safely ashore again. The roar of the surf on the bar was already distinct. An occasional white cap leaped above the murky horizon to the southwest. Dark, misty clouds obscured the last star. The wind was already moaning in the boughs of the tall fir on the bills. Bankala shoved the light craft into the water, and, guided by the interval flashes from Cape Disappointment light house, she pulled toward the foot of the rocks where lay the fish trap tended by Dan Lapham. CHAPTER XV. Rescued by the Enemy. An accident had befallen Dan Lap bam in the early morning engagement, In the rush for boats before it wan till daylight tie had taken the flint one he came to. He led the way to the place where he exiected to find the aouthsiders, and was followed by the long array of northside fishermen in their boats. He was far In advance of the other fishermen, expecting to locate the ene my and then await the airival of his colleagues and assist them In the at tack. Before a single shot was fired and be fore daylight began to dawn Dan came to grief In a most unexpected manner. The river biought with it all kinds of driftwood from above. The fishermen were constantly on the lookout for this, for large logs, famous the world over for their length and siie, often com down with a speed and force sufficient to crush a river steamer, and the small craft of the fishermen would stand no more show before these than would an egg shell. But It was not one of these that caused Dan trouble. It is the con cealed from which most harm comes in all of the experiences of life. It is the hidden that takes man unawares nd dashes his hope to pieces or frus trate his plans at the most unex pected moment. We may battle with the open enemy with hope of success, but the one in ambush takes us at a disadanUge and destroys or Is victor- ions over as before we are even prepar ed for defense. Dan was keeping sharp lookout foi the enemy. He knew the plana of the aouthsiders and expected to in teroept them before they should di vide up into squads. While there was still none In sight he was sending hi frail old cralt like a cutter through the water. An old snag was Blowly beating its way with the current and tide to the ocean. It was one of those heavy, pitchy fir trunks whose weight kept it deep in the water. Only a few inehe of a knot, dark as the water itself, projected above the surface, and the thing stood like a rock directly in front of the fisherman s boat. Unconscious of its presence he sent th old craft against it with a terrific weep 01 me oars ana the result were as sudden as a flash. The boat was al ready running deep In the water from the weight of the sea which it had taken from below, and when Its rotten hull struck the snag it was practically lorn asunder. It went down like a rock, and the young fisherman had either of two al ternative. One was to take refuge by dinging to the cause of his disaster nd the other was to swim for the is land. But there was no time to waste un der inch condition. At soon as he had recovered from the shock which ImbI oat aim deep below the surface he arose and swam for the snag which danced about for a moment, after its contact with the boat, like a top. He clung to this for several mo ments when be discovered that it was taking a course ranging farther from the island and heading directly for Disappointment rocks. The experi enced fisherman knew what this meant. Raising his head as high as be could above the surface of the water he sighted the dark outline of the near est point on Band island as marked by the accumulated driltwood, taking Tillamook lighthouse for hi guide, and (warn in a southwesterly direction. Dan Lapham was good swimmer and was strong and experienced, but the water was cold and the current pulled at him like thing of life Hatthng to keep from being drawn to Disappointment rocks and at the same time to gain the nearest point of the Island he soon found it telling upon his strength. Benumbed and exhausted he felt that ease coming over him which is never experienced except under certain conditions. He had heard men rescued from drowning, tell of this sensation. ne anew si once wnai 11 meant, tils strokes grew weaker, and In spite of the fact that a consciousness came over him that he wa gradually giving away he felt a certain amount of reliel that is said to always come to the per lulling n.an in his last momenta a dix ty, lulling feeling that make death rather welcome than appalling. A dull bussing sound entered hi ears. Ilia limbs moved a if in a dream. The water seemed freed all at once from it chill. The darkness gainerea more aeeipy out it was as gentle as the shadow of deep. The waves rocked him a smoothly as i babe in a cradle. ' "Hankalal" he spoke. "Bankala It cannot he I I cannot leave you. I must not surrender. Arm and legi you have never failed me. Heait, send forth that blood you owe to Bankala and revive tbi body to battle the waves and live for the poor, unfortunate or phan girll" witna spasmodic eriort he arose from his sinking attitude. He shot forth his limb wito forced and awk ward motion. It wa then that Dan Lapham discovered the weakness of will power compared with the grip of fate. He saw that youth, strength, determination, must all yield to the in evitable. But the aame fate that had carried him to the border of the dark shadow now threw a straw within his reach. A daik solid object grated against his side. He was caught by it and carried along at a slow but steady rate of speed. tie reached out bis band and clasped the limb of a tree. One of the (alien monarchs of the upper country had been caught in the flood and wa being can led to the ocean. Lapham dragged himself upon Its branches and closed his benumbed hand upon two of them that be might not be swept away. Thus, exhuasted and In a semi-conscious condition, he lay upon the drift, which was pursuing Its course toward the ocean. "Steer clear of that drift mate," exclaimed a nmn'i voice, low and husky. Five men were seated In a boat. Four of them were lying upon their oars. The fifth was steering the craft. The men were merely using their oars to keep the boat from drifting seaward and the steersman was holding ber along side the current. While the men held the oars in their bands long, black guns lay across their lap. It win the advance guard of the southsiilers. They were in waiting for the approach of the northside fisher men. A slight redness above the heli um to the east Indicated that morning was approaching. The men had been watching for the approach of the north sideia for several moments. They were the lower guards, who expected to apprehend the fishermen of the traps in the lowet bay. A large log with branche extending In many directions had almost run into them. Bo dark was the night that it had approached them very closley before they saw it. It was this that had called for the com mand to the steersman. "There is a man aboard that drift 1" exclaimed one of the men, "Tie on to the drift," eaid the leader. One of the men grabbed a branch of the drift and the boat and log floated along together. "the man's dead," remarked one of the fishermen as he came near the ob ject. "Bring him aboard, anyway," said the leader, "and we will bury him on the sand spit." Then the fishermen raised Dan Iap ham from his place on the drift, fairly prying his clinched hands from the branches of the tree, and laid him in the boat at their feet. CHAPTER XVI. Daring the Element. "Give him a drop of whisky not dead by any means." He ii "Raise him up light in, boys, and i ub him I He la one ot old Bearing's slaves, but he Is human and we will treat him as such." Thus sioke the men who had rescued Dan Lapham from the floating timber. They worked with him sometime be fore he was restored to a thoiongh con sciousness. The men knew him well and treated him kindly, though they now regarded him a a legitimate "prisoner of war." Lapham wa favorably known by all of the fishermen and boatmen ot the river. His extraordinary strength gave him piominence among the toiler of the river, while his courage and kind ness gained tor him their respect. The half-drowned fisherman received the same cate and attention as would one of their own number. One shared a dry vest with him; another had an extra rain coat and with this garment and that he was loon warmly clad, and with youth and reviving strength be was sooa himself again. But the scenes were rapidly shifting. Dawn was breaking and the approach of the norttisiders had been discovered. The boats began to line up for the cap tuie of the fishermen from the north side who were supposed to be ignorant of the presence of the southsidnis. Dan Lapham was placed in a peculiar position, but one common in war. He was to sit side by side with the enemy and receive the fire of his friends. He knew what his companions in tlta boat did not know. He knew that the north side fishermen were armed, and that they would come prepared to do war unto death, He knew that he would soon be subjected to their fire and that they would shoot to kill. Closer and still closer the northsid- ers approached. They lined up through the gloom of dawn like so many speck on the river and bay. The southsider lay upon their oar with gun in band. To row down upon them and capture them at a given signal was the pre viously arranged plan. The keen whistle of small launch rang out over the water from the head of the southside flotilla and the llttlt fleet moved to the north under th steady strokes of the oarsmen. "Bingt" rang out a rifle shot from the north side. "Bingt Bingl fiing!" followed succession of shots from the same di rection. The aouthsiders were taken complete ly by sui prise. They had come to capture, not to fight, but now that the trouble was on, it wa left to them to fight or to flee. The bitter feeling to long existing between the two stubborn factions would not permit the latter alternative, and as If fro" common command, the aouthsiders rained their rifles and poured forth a volley In the direction of their competitor. Thl was returned by heavy volley from the north tide, and then a desultoiy flring.began all along the line. The fishermen were not accustomed to the use of fire arms nor this manner of warfare and it was-better for them that they were not. After the second volley the member of each contending element began to fall back and the Doata scattered in every dircetion. But neither aide would abandon the stiuggle. It was the purpose of the southsiders to destroy the trapa, while it was the determination of the north siders to defend them to the last. At the very first volley from the north a rifle bullet stiuck the fisherman di rectly in front of Dan Lapham, the very man who had aided in resuscitat ing their captive. He was wounded in the aide and fell Into Dan' arm. Dan begged them to pull for the island that the wounded man might receive better care. His request was granted, for the fishermen now were anxious for an ex cuse to get out of a fight that was ac much more real than they had ex pected. (To ts continued) Don't Grit Your Teeth. "No teeth to fill," the dentist said to the man in the chair, "but you are grinding off your teeth more than you ought to. Do you grit your teeth in your sleep 1" And the man sntd he didn't stay awake long enough to know about that, but were they much ground off T "More tliau they ought to be at your age," suld the dentist. "You have worn the eniiuiel off from aome of them and got down to the dentlue.", "What's going to happen?" asked the victim. "Why, If you keep on grinding them off," said the dentist, "the teeth will hollow out and we'll have to put plugs in them with gold tops to give them new grinding surfaces." This wasn't a very pleasant pros pect, so later the mini sought to as certain for himself whether he did grit his teeth unduly. And while be was still unable to atny awake long enough to find out, be did discover that he had a habit nt times of gritting hie teeth In his waking momenta, when he sat back from his work to think of something, for Instance. And lie made up his mind thut he would stop that, anyway, and he hoped that he might thus (top grinding his teeth In Ills sleep, if he did so grind them. For, fine as they might be, he didn't wnut any of those nice little gold-cupped plugs put In bis teeth If he could help It New York Bun.
