Then began the wonderful struggle
against circumstances which has be-

where. A forty day drive had to go
out in ten. A freshet had to float out
100000 feet Of logs. 1t was tremen-
dous. Fourteen, sixteen, sometimes
eighteen hours a day the men of the

Jams had no chance to form Of
course under the pressure the lower
dam had gone out Nothing was to be
depended on but sheer logged grit.
Far up river Sadler & Smith had hung
their drive for the season, and so had
resigned themselves to a definite but
not extraordinary loss. Thorpe had at
least clear river.
Wallace Carpenter could not under

Then swiftly between the white
strained face of the mailman trying to
convince his heart that his mind had
been right and the fanatically exalted
river men interposed the sanity of Rad
way. The old jobber faced the men
calmly, almost humorously, and some
how the very bigness of the man COM
manded attention.
"You fellows make me SICK" said he.
"You haven't got the sense God gave

right in those fellows hands? What
do you suppose they dynamited them

never dreamed we was dry pickin' that
