~ the 9Th of January. He went

tire job; and then sat silently
IN the Office smoking. The jobber
looked older. The lines of dry good
humor about his eyes had subtly
changed to an expression of pathetic
anxiety He attached no blame to any
body, but rose the next morning at

they had new master over them.
Now it became necessary to nut the
roads in shape for hauling. An win

and slipped back. Then the log ran
slanting across the skids instead of
perpendicular to them To rectify the
fault, Thorpe dug his canthook into the
timber and threw his weight on the
stock He hoped in this manner to
check correspondingly the ascent of his
end In other words he took the place,
on his side, of the preventing silver, so
equalizing' the pressure and forcing the
timber TO its proper position. Instead
Of rolling, the log slid. The stock of
the canthook was jerlzed from his
hands. He fell back, and the canthook

a crushing blow on the top of the head.

in, just as they had carried Hank Paul

CHAPTER VII.

When Thorpe finally came to himself,
he was in long, bright, clean room
and the sunset was throwing splashes
of light on the ceiling over his head
He watched them idly for a time:
then turned on his pillow. At once he
perceived long, double row of clean
white painted iron beds, on which lay
or sat figures of men. Other figures, of
women. glided here and their noiseless-
ly. They wore long. spreading dove
gray clothes, with a starched white
kerchief drawn over their shoulders
and across the breast. Their heads
were quantity white CARRIED in stiff
Winglike colts. fitting close about the
oval of the face. Then Thorpe sighed
comfortably and closed his eyes and
blessed the chance that he had bought
a hospital ticket of the agent who had
visited camp the month before For
these were sisters, and the young man
lay in the hospital Of st. Mary.
Like a great. many ether charities
built on a common sense, self support
ing, rational basis. the woods hospitals
are under the Roman Catholic church.
From one of the numerous agents who
periodically visit the camps, the lum-
Der Jack purchases for IS a ticket which
admits him at any time during the year
to the hospital, where he is privileged
to remain free of further charge until
convalescent. So valuable are these in
situations, and so excellently are they
maintained by the sisters, that a hos
pital agent is always welcome, even in
those camps from which ordinary ped
dlers and insurance men are rigidly ex-
cluded.
In one of these hospitals Thorpe lay
for six weeks suffering from a severe
conclusion Of the brain. At the end of
the fourth his fever had broken, but he
was pronounced as vet too weak RI he
moved.
The roofs were covered with snow.
One day Thorpe saw it sink into itself

For this reason the leaders are picked
