he. "Come in yesterday. She tells

then a happy laugh, that they amt
going to be only two of us at the farm
next year." s.t.
"You mean?''', queried Thorpe.
"Yes," laughed Paul, "and if it's q
girl she gets named after her mother,
you bet"
The men separated. In a moment
Thorpe found himself waist deep in
the pitchy aromatic top Of an old bull
sap, clipping away at the projecting
branches After a time he heard Paul's
gay halloo.
"Timber" came the cry, and then
the wish-sh-sh-crash of the trees
fall.
Thorpe knew that now either Hank
or Tom must be climbing with the long
measuring pole along the PROSTATE
trunk. marking by means of shallow
ak clips where the saw was to divide
the logs. Then Tom shouted some
thing unintelligible. The other men
seemed to understand, however, for
they dropped their work and ran hasti-
ly in the direction of the voice. Thorpe
after a moments indecision did the
same. He arrived to find group
about PROSTATE man. The man was
Paul.
Two of the older woodsmen, kneel-
ing, were conducting coolly a hasty
examination. At the front every man
is more or less Of surgeon.
''Is he hurt badly?' asked Thorpe
"What is it?''
Hes dead" answered one of the
other men soberly.
With the skill of CHASTITY practice
some Of them wove litter, on which
the body was placed. The pathetic
little procession moved in the solemn,
inscrutable forest.
When the tree had fallen it had
crashed through the top of another,
leaving suspended in the branches Of
the latter long, heavy limb. A slight
breeze dislodged it. Henry Paul was
impaled as by a javelin. This is the
chief of the many perils Of the woods.
That evening the camp was unusual
ly quiet. Taller let his fiddle hang.
After supper Thorpe was approached
by Purdy, the reptilian redhead with
whom he had had the row some even
1ngs before.

ercise had heated him through, and
now the north country cold penetrated
to his bones. He huddled close to the
fire and drank hot tea, but it did not
do him very much good. In his secret
mind he resolved to buy one of the
blanket mackinaws that very evening.
The newcomers first day Of hard
work had tired him completely. He
was ready for nothing so much as his
bunk. But he had forgotten that it
was Saturday night. His status was
still to assure.
They began with few mild tricks.
Shuttle the brogan followed hot back.
Thorpe took all Of it good naturedly.
Finally tall individual with thin.
white face, reptilian forehead, red
dish hair and long, babboon arms sug-
gested tossing in a blanket. Thorpe
looked at the low ceiling and declined.
'I'm with the game as long as you
can say, boys" said he, land I'll have
as much fun as anybody, but that's
going too far for tired man."

about the toughest customer to handle
you will be likely to meet. He is
brought up on fighting. Nothing pleases
him better than to get drunk and, with
a few companions, to embark in an
earnest effort to "clean out" a rival
town. And he will accept cheerfully
nary men.
Thorpe at the first hostile movement
sprang back to the door, seized one Of
the three-foot billets of hard wood in
tended for the stove and faced his op-
ponents.

was no object in getting broken head

grumbled something profane.

drawled the unexpected voice of old
Jackson from the corner, "mebbe you

The rest was farce. Thorpe was built
on true athletic lines-broad, straight
shoulders, narrow tanks, long, clean,
smooth muscles. He possessed, besides,
that hereditary toughness and bulk
which no gymnasium will ever quite
supply. The other man, while power
ful and ugly in his rushes, was clumsy
and did not use his head. Thorpe
planted his hard, straight blows at will.
Finally he saw his opening and let out
with a swinging pivot blow. The other
picked himself out of corner and
drew off the gloves. Thorpes status
was assured.
