Thorpe watched him he drove in pro-
jecting nail, kicked two turkeys" in
side the open door and stuck the armed
end of his peg leg through the top and
bottom OF the whisky jug that one Of
the new arrivals had set down near
the door. The whisky promptly ran
out. At this the cripple fiirted the i'm
paied jug from the wooden leg far out
over the rail of the veranda into the
snow.
A growl went up.

threateningly.
''DaA't allow no whisky here" snuff

The men were very angry. They adj
vanced toward the cripple, who re
treated with astonishing agility to the
| lighted room. There he bent the wood
en- leg behind him, slipped the end OF
| the brace from beneath the leather
belt, seized the other peg end in his
right hand and so became possessed OF
a murderous bludgeon. This he brand
ished, hopping at the same time back
and forth in such perfect poise and yet
with so ludicrous an effect of popping
| corn that the men were surprised into
| laughing.
Bully for you, peglegy' they cried.
"Rules an regerlations, boys" replied
the latter, without, however, shade
of compromising in his tones. Had

temples and eyelashes of a darkness in
contrast to the prevailing note Of his
complexion combined to lend him
rather brooding, soft and melancholy
air which a very cursory second ex-
animation showed to be fictitious. His
eyes, like the woodman's, were steady,
but inquiring. His jaw was square and
settled, his mouth straight. Unlike the
other inmates of the car he wore an
ordinary business suit. somewhat worn,
but of good cut and a style that showed
even over the soft flannel shirt. The
trousers were, however, bound inside
the usual socks and rubbers.
The two seat mates had occupied
their time each in his own fashion. The
elder stared straight before him and
spat with a certain periodicity into the
center of the aisle. The younger
stretched back lazily in an attitdue of
ease. Sometimes he smoked a pipe.

He jingled the $3.50 in his pocket and
smiled. That was the extent of his ev-

The letter had been answered from
Detroit.

experience and my ignorance as to

When Helen Thorpe read this she
cried. Things had gone wrong that
morning, and an encouraging word
would have helped her. The sombeI
tone of her brothers communication
threw her into a fit Of the blues from
which for the first time she saw bel

clerk.
In few moments the door Of the
inner room opened and Shearer came
out. A mans head peered from within.
"Come on, boys" said he.
The five applicants shuffed through.
Thorpe found himself in the presence
Of a man whom he felt to be the natu-
raj leader of these wild, independent
spirits. He was already a little past
middle life, and his form had lost the
elastic vigor of youth. But his eye
was keen, clear and Wrinkled to GER
tain dry Righteousness, and his figure
was of that bulk which gives an i'm
preston of subtler weight and power
than the merely physical. You felt his
superiority even when he was most
comradely with you This man Thorpe
was to meet under other conditions,
wherein the steel hand would more
plainly clink the metal.
He was now seated in a worn Office
chair before a Uttered desk. In the
close air hung the smell of stale cigars
and the clear fragrance of pine.
"What is it, Dennis?" he asked the
first of the men.
'T've been out" replied the lumber
man. "Have you got anything for me,
Mr.. Daly?"
The mill owner laughed.

The lumberman grinned sheepishly.

So day after day the work went on.
Railway spent his time tramping
through the woods, figuring on new
work, showing the men how to do
things better or differently, discussing
minute expedients with the blacksmith,
the carpenter, the cook.
He was not without his troubles.
First he had not enough men, the snow
hacked and then came too abundantly,

dumped huge logs of wood from time

turned to this stove and sat half doing
for what seemed to him untold ages.
The cold Of the northern country was
initiating him.
Men came in, smoked brief pipe
and went out. After time he himself
put on his overcoat and ventured out
into the town. Tt seemed to Thorpe a
meager affair, built of lumber, mostly
implanted, with always the dark, men-
acing fringe of the forest behind. The
great sawmill, with it's tall stacks and
its rows Of water barrels protection

only thing he really feared was a kick

The interested spectators of the little

One Of them was perhaps past the best
