From shortly after daylight he work
ed. -Four other men bore HIM compa-
ny, and twice Railway himself came
by, watched their operations for mo-
ment and moved on without comment.
After Thorpe had caught his second
wind he enjoyed his task, finding a
certain pleasure in the ease with which
he handled his tool.
At the end Of an interminable Pc
Rod a faint, musical halo swelled,
echoed and died through the forest,
beautiful as spirit. 1t was taken up
by another voice and repeated. Then
BY another. Now near at hand, now
Ear away, it rang as hollow as bell.
The sawyers, the swampers, the skid.
ders and the team men turned and
put on their heavy blanket coats.
Down on the road Thorpe heard it,
too, and wondered what it might be.
"Come on, bub. She means chew"
explained old man Heath kindly.
Thorpe resumed his coat and fell
in behind the little procession. After
short time be came upon horse and
sledge. Beyond it the cookie had
built little camp fire, around and
over which he had grouped big fifty
pound lard tins half full Of hot things
to eat. Each man as he approached
picked up a tin plate and cup from a
pile near at hand.
The cookie was plainly master of the
situation. He issued peremptory Or
ders. When Erickson, the blond Swede,
attempted surreptitiously to appropri-
ate doughnut the youth turned on
him savagely and shouted:
"Get out of that, You big towheadw.
The men ate, perched in various at
titudes and places. Thorpe found it
difficult to keep warm. The violent ex-

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 javelin. This is the
chief of the many perils Of the woods.
That evening the camp was unusual
" 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
ings before.
"You in, chummy" he asked in a
quiet voice. "It's a five apiece for
Hanks woman
EYES,. said Thorpe.
The men were earning from $40 to
$50 a month. They had most of them
never seen Hank Paul before this au-
tumn. He had not, mainly because Of
his modest disposition, enjoyed any ex-
traordinary degree Of popularity, yet
these strangers cheerfully, as matter
Of course, gave up the proceeds of a
weeks hard work, and that without
expecting the slightest personal credit.
The money was sent ''from the boys"
Thorpe later read Il heartbroken letter
to the unknown benefactors. 1t touched
him deeply, and lie suspected the other
men of the same emotions, but by that
time they had regained the independ-
ent, self contained poise of the from
tiersman. They read it with unmoved
faces and tossed it aside with a more
than ordinarily rough joke or oath.
Thorpe understood their reticence. It
was part of his own nature. He felt
more than ever akin to these men.
As swamper he had more or less to
do with cant hook in helping the
teamsters roll the end of the log on the
little "dray." He soon caught the
knack. Toward Christmas he had be-
come a fairly efficient cant hook man
and was helping roll the great sticks Of
timber up the slanting skids. Thus al
ways intelligence counts, especially
that rare intelligence which resolves
into the analytical and the infinitely
observing.
He was getting just the experience
and the knowledge he needed, but that
was about all. His wages were $25
month, which his van bill would re-
duce to the double eagle. At the end
Of the winter he would have but a lit
tie over 500 to show for his seasons
work, and this could mean at most on
~ $50 for Helen. But the future was
his. He saw now more plainly what
he had dimly perceived before, that
for the man who buys timber. and logs
1t we'll, sure future is waiting. And
in this camp he was beginning to learn
from failure the conditions Of success.

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 a 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, "and I'll have
az much fun as anybody, but that's
going too far for tired man."
The reptilian gentleman let out a
string of oaths whose meaning might
be translated, ''We'll see about that!'
Thorpe was good boxer, but he
knew by now the lumber jacks meth

brought up on fighting. Nothing pleases
him better than to get drunk and, with
Q few companions, to embark in an
earnest effort to "clean OUT rival
town. And he will accept cheerfully
punishment enough to kill three ordi-
nary men.
Thorpe at the first hostile movement
sprang back to the door, seized one Of

TWO miles t0'tne- east. In that direction
the character Of the country changed
somewhat.
The pine there grew thick on isolated
ISLANDS" Of not more than an acre Or
DO In extent-little knobs rising from
the level Of a marsh. In ordinary con.
ditions nothing would have been easier
than to have plowed roads across the
frozen surface of this marsh. The pe.
culiar state Of the weather interposed
tremendous difficulties.
The early part Of autumn had been
characterized by heavy snowfall i'm.

venting the freezing which subsequent
cold weather would have caused. All
the season Railway had contended with
this condition. Even in the woods
muddy swamp and spring holes caused
endless difficulty and necessitated q
great deal Of "corduroying," or the lay.
ing Of poles side by side to form an
artificial bottom. Here in the open
some six inches d water and unlimit.
ed mud awaited the first horse that
should break through the layer Of snow
and thin ice. Between each pair Of Is.
lands road had to be "tramped."
Thorpe and the rest were put at this
disagreeable job. All day long they
had to walk mechanically back and
forth on disgonals between the marks
set by Rndway with his snowshoes
Early in the morning their feet were
wet by icy water, for even the light
weight of man sometimes broke the
frozen skin of the marsh. BY night
q road of trampled snow of greater Of
less strength was marked out across
the expanse. Thus the blanket was
thrown back from the warm earta
and thus the cold was given chance
at the water beneath. In a day or 50
the road would bear a horse. A bridge
Of ice had been artificially constructea,
on either side of which lay unsoundeo
depths. This road was indicated oy
q row of frs stuck in the snow gu

The men separated. In q moment
Thorpe found himself waist deep in
the pitchy aromatic top of an old bull
sap, clipping away at the projecting
branches. After time he heard Paul's
gay halloo.
.Timberw came the cry, and then
the swish-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
az 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-

So the young man received his first
promotion toward the ranks of skilled
labor. He gained at last field of APP

diligently acquired while roadmaking,

taste. he found himself near the actual
scene of operation-at the front, as 1t
