pass easily through the shoot of dam 1t was called the ''wanigan."
 The huge, unwieldy craft from that moment was to become possessed of the devil. Down the white water of rapids it would bump, smashing obsti- nately against powders, against the branches of the stream side it would scrape, in the broad reaches it would sulk, refusing to proceed, and when expediency demanded its pause it would drag Billy Camp and his entire crew at the ropes end, while they tried Vainly to snub it against successively uprooted trees and stumps When at last the wanigan was moored fast for the night-usually mile or so below the spot planned-@lly Camp pushed back his battered o4u brown derby hat the badge of his office, with a sigh of relief. To be sure, he and his men had still to cut wood, construct cooking and camp fires, pitch tents, snip browse and prepare supper for seventy men, but the hard work of the day was over.

Here were the best of the Fighting Forty, men with reputation as white water birlers," men afraid of nothing.
 Every morning the crews were divid- ed into two sections under Kerlie and Jack Hyland- Each crew had charge

night at Dam Two, where Bryan Mo- loney and his crew were already en- gagged in sluicing the logs through the shoot.
 The affair was simple enough. Long booms arranged in the form of an open V guided the drive to the sluice gate, through which a smooth apron of water rushed to turmoil in an eddy ing pool below. Two men trampes steadily backward and forward on the booms, urging the logs forward by means of long pike poles to where the suction could seize them. Below the dam the push of the sluice water forced them several miles down stream, where the rest or bryan Moloneys crew took them in charge.
 Thus through the wide gate nearly three-quarters of a million feet an hour could be run, and at length the last of the logs drifted into the wide dam pool. The rear had arrived at Dam Two, and Thorpe congratulated himself that one stage of his journey had been completed.

or one s1de or the river. Scotty Par sons exercised general supervisory eye over both crews. Shearer and Thorpe travelled back and forth the length of the drive. riding the logs down stream, but taking to a partly submerged pole trail when ascending the current. On the surface of the river i'll the clear water fioated two long, graceful boats called bateaux These were in charge of expert boat men. They carried in racks a great supply of pike poles, peaveys, axes, rope and dynamite for use in various emergencies.
 Intense rivalry existed as to which crew sacked" the farthest down the stream in the course of the day. There was no need to urge the men. Some stood upon the logs, pushing nightly with the long pike poles. From one end of the rear to the other shouts, calls, warnings and jokes flew back and forth. Once or twice a vast roar of Homeric laughter went up as some unfortunate slipped and soused into the water. When the current slacked and the logs hesitated in their run the entire crew hastened, bobbing from log to log, down river to see about it. Then they broke the jam, standing surely on the edge of the great dark ness, while the ice water sucked in and out of their shoes.
 Behind the rear Big Junko poled his bateau backward and forward explod- ing dynamite. Many of the bottom tiers of logs in the rollways had been frozen down, and Big Junko had to loosen them from the bed of the stream. He was a big man, this, as his nickname indicated, built of many awkwardnesses. His cheek bones were high, his nose flat, his lips thick and slabbery. He sported a wide, fero- cious struggling mustache and long eyebrows, under which gleamed little fierce eyes. His forehead sfoped back like beasts, but was always hidden by a disreputable felt hat. Big Junko did not know much and had the pas sions of a wild animal, but be was a reckless river man and devoted to Thorpe. Just now he exploded dyna- mite.
 The sticks of powder were piled amidships. Big Junko crouched over them, inserting the fuses and caps, closing the openings with soap, finally lighting them and dropping them into the water alongside, where they imme- d1ately sank. Then a few strokes of short paddle took him barely out of danger. He huddled down in his craft, waiting. One, two, three seconds passed. Then hollow boom shook the stream. A cloud of water sprang up, strangely beautiful. After moment the great brown logs rose suddenly to the sur- face from below, one after the other, like leviathans of the deep.
 Thorpe and Tim Shearer nearly al- weys slept in dog tent at the rear, though occasionally they passed the

CHAPTER XXVII.


 ~0HE rear had been tenting at the dam for two days and was about ready to break camp
 when Jimmy Powers swung across the trail to tell them of the big jam.
 Ten miles along the river bed the stream dropped over a little half falls into narrow, rocky gorge. It was al- ways an anxious spot for river drivers. The plunging of the logs headon over the fall had so gouged out the soft rock below that an eddy of great power had formed in the basin. Here, in spite of all efforts, the jam had formed. The bed was completely filled, far above the level of the falls, by a tangle that defied the jam crews best efforts.
 The rear at once took the trail down the river. Thorpe and Shearer and Scotty Parsons looked over the ground.
 Without delay the entire crew was set to work. Nearly a hundred men can pick a great many logs in the course of day. Several times the jam started, but always "plugged' before the motion had become irresistible.
 we II AdNC tO SOOOl, Su0dIeI It. luctantly decided.
 The men were withdrawn. Scotty Parsons cut sapling twelve feet long and trimmed it. Big Junko thawed his dynamite at a little fire, opening the ends of the packages in order that the steam generated might escape. When the powder was warm, Scotty bound twenty of the cartridges around the end of the sapling, adjusted fuse in one of them and soaped the opening to exclude water. Then Big Junko thrust the long javelin down into the depths of the jam, leaving q thin stream of smoke behind him as he turned away, zigzagging awkwardly over the jam, the long, ridiculous tails of his brown cuta y coat Hopping behind him as he leaped. A scant moment later the hoarse dynamite shouted.
 Great chunks of timber shot to an in- conceivable height Entire logs lifted bodily into ti1e air with the motion of fish jumping. A fountain of water gleamed against the sun and showered down in fine rain. The jam shrugged and settled. That was all. The ''shot" uau Iallod. t
 The men ran forward, examining cu- riously the great hole n the log forma- ton.
 Well have to flood her,' said Thorpe.
 So alL the gates of the dam were raised, and the torrent tried it's hand. It had no effect. Evidently the affair was not. one of violence, but of pa tience. The crew went doggedly to work
 Day after day the clank, clank, clink of the peaveys sounded with the regu- larity of machinery. It was cruel, hard work. A man who has lifted his utmost strength into a peavey knows that. Any but the Fighting Forty would have grumbled.
 Collins, the bookkeeper, came. up to view the tangle. Later photographer from Marquette took some views, and by the end of the week a number of curiosity seekers were driving over ev cry day to see the big jam. A certain Chicago journalist in search of balsam

N the meantime the main body
 Of the crew under Thorpe and his foremen were briskIy tum-
 bling the logs into the current. The men had continually to keep alert, for at any moment they were called upon to exercise their best Judgment and Quickness to keep from being car ried downward with the rush of the logs. Not infrequently a drowning sheer wall of forty feet would hesitate on the brink of plunge. Then Shearer himself proved his right 10 the title of river man.
 Shearer wore calks nearly an inch in length. He had been known to ride fn miles without shifting his feet on so small that he could carry it ithout difficulty. For cool nerve he as unexcelled.
 sI don't need you boys here any lon F" he said quietly.
 When the men had all withdrawn he alked confidently under the front of roIIway, glancing with practiced e at the perpendicular wall of logs CT him. Then as man pries jack yse<aws he clamped his peavey and rugged sharply. At once the rolIway Sfattened and toppled A mighty splash, Sa fluff of flying foam and crushing tim kars, and the spot on which the river laan had stood was buried beneath Twenty feet of solid green wood.

 The place was an amphitheater for such as chose to be spectators. They could stand or sit on the summit of the gorge cliffs, overlooking the river, the fall and the jam.
