was doing. The minute hands of the
clock dragged around. Thorpe droned
down the long column. The clerk
scratched industriously, repeating in a
half voice each description as. it was
transcribed
1 At length the task was finished. 1t
became necessary to type duplicate
lists of the descriptions. While the
somnolent youth finished his task
Thorpe listened for the messenger boy
on the stairs.
A faint slam was heard outside the
rickety old building. Hasty steps
sounded along the corridor. The land
locker merely stopped the drumming
Of his fingers on the broad arm of the
chair. The door few open, and Wal
lace Carpenter walked quickly to him.
Thorpe's face lighted up as be rose
to greet his partner. The boy had not
forgotten their compact after all.
'Then it's all right?" queried the lat
ter breathlessly
"sure" answered Thorpe heartily.
"Got 'em in good shape"
At the same time he was drawing the
youth beyond the vigilant watchfulness
Of Mr. Morrison.

undertone. "Never had so close

"See here" replied Thorpe. 1--WE got

The Scotchman deliberated, looking
aslant at the ground and thoughtfully
oiling cylinder with greasy rag.
ut II ma be u matter of life and

stops for life and death"
"No," replied Thorpe reluctantly.
Then, with an explosion: YES. by

In E arrived out of breath at a.

I'LL sisting of the usual implanted

dressed himself for information.
The proprietor, still sleepy, was mop

only when there's freight for her."
Doesn't she stop for passengers?"
Nope
'tHow does she know when there's
freight"
ooh, they signal her from the mill.'
But Thorpe was gone.
AT the mill Thorpe dove for the en-
CINE room. He knew that elsewhere
the clang of machinery and the hurry
of business would leave scant attention
for him; and, besides, from the engine
room the signals would be given. He
found, as is often the case in north
country sawmills, Scotchman in
charge.
"Does the boat stop here this morn,
ing?'' he inquired.
"Weel," replied the engineer, with
fearful deliberation, II Gamma say. But
haze received ma orders to that effect.''
Cant you whistle her in for me?'
asked Thorpe.
81 canna," answered the engineer,
promptly enough this time.
"Why not?'
''Ye're ma what a body might call

"Na.''
Thorpe was seized with an idea.

they rested nall an hour, ate little
venison and smoked a pipe.
An hour after noon they repeated the
rest. Thorpe rose with certain phys
ical reluctance. The Indian seemed as
fresh as when he started. At sunset
they took an hour, then forward again
by the dim intermittent light of the
moon and stars through the ghostly
haunts of forest until Thorpe thought
he would drop with WEAKNESS and
was mentally incapable Of contemplate
ing more than hundred steps in ad-
| vance.
"When l get to that square patch of
light I'll quit" he would say to him
self and struggle painfully the requir-
ed twenty yards.
mo, I won't quit here" he would
continue. "I'u make 1t that birch
Then I'll lie down and de-
And so on. To the actual physical
exhaustion Of Tborpe's muscles was
added that immense mental WEAKNESS
which uncertainty of time and distance
inflicts on man. The journey might
last a week for all he knew In the
presence Of an emergency these men
Of action had actually not exchanged
dozen words. The Indian led; Thorpe
followed
When the halt was called Thorpe
fell into his blanket too weary even to
eat. Next morning sharp, shooting
pains, like the stabs of swords. ran
through his groin.
"You Gomez, repeated the Indian,
stolid as ever
Then the sun was an hour high. The
travellers suddenly ran into a trail,
which as suddenly dived into a spruce
thicket. On the other side of it Thorpe
unexpectedly found himself in an ex-
tensive clearing dotted with the black
ened stumps of pines. Athwart the dis
lance he could perceive the wide blue
horizon of Lake Michigan. He had
crossed the upper peninsula on foot.
BOAT come by today" said 1njun
Charley. indicating the tall stacks of
mill. Him no stop. You max him stop
take you with him. You get train Mack
inaw City tonight. Dose men, dey on
dat train.''
Thorpe calculated rapidly. The en-
envy would require even with their
teams day to cover the thirty miles to
the fishing village of Munising, whence
the stage ran each morning to Seney,
the present terminal of the South
Shore railroad. He, Thorpe, on foot and
three hours behind, could never have
caught the stage. But from Seney only
one train day was dispatched to con-
meet at Mackinaw City with the Iichi-
gan Central, and on that one train, due
to leave this ve1V morning, the up river
man was just about pulling out. He
would arrive at Mackinaw City at 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, where he
would be forced to wait until 8 in the
evening. BY catching a boat at the
mill to which Injun Charley had led
him Thorpe could still make the same
train. Thus the start in the race for
Detroit'sland Office would be fair.
All right" he cried, all his energy
returning to him. Here goes! Well
beat him out YETI
"You come back?' inquired the Indi-
an, peering with a certain anxiety into
his companions eyes.
Come back" cried Thorpe. You bet
your hat!'
Il wait" replied the Indian, and was
gone.
Thorpe saw over the headland to the
east dense trail of black smoke. He
set off on stumbling run toward the
mill

from tie west to form one side Of the
harbor. In a moment, however. her
bows appeared, headed directly down
toward the strait of Mackinaw. When
opposite the little bay, with a grand,
free sweep she turned and headed di-
rectly for him. &
He negotiated briefly with the cap
tain, paid $40 more for speed and the
privilege of landing at Mackinaw City.
Then he slept for eight hours ON end
and was awakened in time to drop into
small boat, which deposited him on
the broad sand beach Of the lower pen
lnsula.
The train was just leisurely making
| up for departure. Thorpe, dressed as
be was in old pepper and salt'' gar
ments patched with buckskin, his hat
Topping travesty on headgear, his
moccasins worn and dirty, his face
bearded and bronzed, tried as much
| as possible to avoid attention. He sent
an instant telegram to Wallace Carpen-
ter conceived as follows:
office, Detroit, before 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Do it if you have to rustic all
| night Important.
Then he took seat in the baggage
car on a pile of boxes and philosoph-
ically waited for the train to start. He
| knew that sooner or later the man, pro-
vided he were on the train, would stroll
through the car, and he wanted to be
out of the way. The baggage man
proved friendly, so Thorpe chatted
with him till after bedtime. Then he
entered the smoking car and waited
patiently for morning.
At the last thought Thorpe decided
to send second message from the
next station. He did So 1t read:
Another buyer of timber on same train
with me. Must have money at o'clock
| or lose land.
| He paid day rates on it to insure i'm
mediate delivery. Suppose the boy
should be away from home!
Everything depended on Wallace
Carpenter, and Thorpe could not but
confess the chance slender. One other
thought made the night seem long.
Thorpe had but $50 left.
Morning came at last, and the train
drew in and stopped. Thorpe, being
in the smoking car, dropped off first
and stationed himself near the exit
where he could look over the passen-
gers without being seen. They filed
past. TO two only he could accord the
J role of master lumbermen, and in these
two Thorpe recognized DAILY and Nor
rison themselves. They passed within
ten feet of him, talking earnestly to-
gether. At the curb they hailed a cab
and drove away. Thorpe with salts
| faction heard them call the name of a
| hotel
It was still two hours before the land
Office would be open.
Thorpe repaired at once to boarding
house off Fort street, where he had
''outftted'' three months before. There
he reclaimed his valise, shaved, clothed
himself in linen and cheviot once more
and sauntered slowly to the land Office
to await it's opening.
| At 8 o'clock neither of the partners
| had appeared. Thorpe entered the Of
