in the season, one at the end of June
and two in July, in order, as she
piauantly expressed it, ''to reckon on

OCCASION
Usually fortune favored her in this
respect. and the boats and punts and
dinghys and canoes had busy time
of it.
Mrs. S. B. Clewe q abbrepiate for

est patrons. She was also acquainted
with my circumstances and the fact
that my present position was the result
OF unexpected misfortunes. According

called "Ju," and various other more or

AS for the compensations. Naturally
there was a good deal of rivalry as to
which wing should advance fastest; and
one experiences a certain physical thrill
in venturing under thirty feet of damned
logs for the sole purpose of teasing the
whole mass to cascade down-en one: or
of shooting rapid while standing upright
on a single timber. 1 believe, too. 1T is
considered mighty honor to belong to

tents.
1t readily can be seen that the progress
of the rear measures the progress of the
drive. Some few logs in the jam may
run fifty miles day-and often debut
if the sacking, has gone slow at the rear.
the drive may not have gained more than
a thousand yards. Therefore jimmy
stayed at the rear.
Jimmy was mighty good river man.
OF course, he had nerve, and could do
anything with a log and peevie, and
would fight at the drop of hat-any
.'bully boy" would qualify there-but he
also had judgment. He knew how to use
the water, how to recognize the Key log
of jams where to place his men-in short,
he could get out the logs.
New Jimmy also knew the river from
one end to the other, so he had arranged
in his mind sort of schedule for the
twenty days. Forty-eight hours for the
railways; a day and a half for the upper
rapid; three days into the dam pond; one
day to sluice the drive through the dam;
three days to the crossing, and SO on. If
everything went well he could do it, but
there could be no bitches in the pro-
gramme
Even from this imperfect fragment of
the schedule the inexperienced might
imagine that Jimmy had allowed an alto
gether disproportionate time to cover the
mile or so from the upper rapid to the
dam pond AS 1t turned out, however, he
found he had not allowed enough, for at
this point the river was peculiar and very
trying.
The backwater of the dam extended up
stream half mile: then occurred a rise of
five feet to the mile. down the slope Of
which the water whfrled and tumbled.
only to spread out over a broad fan of
gravel shadows. These shadows did the
business When the logs had bumped

The rear crew had to wade In. They
heayed and pried and pushed Industrious
ly. and at the end of it had the satisfac-
ton of seeing single fog slide reluctant
ly into the current. Sometimes dozen
of them would clamp their peevies on
either side. and by sheer brute force car
ry the stick to deep water. When you
reflect that there were over 40 900 pieces
in the drive and that good SO per cent
of them baked below the rapids, you can
see that the rear crew had. it's work cut
out for it.
Jimmy's allotted three days were almost
gone. and his job had not advanced be-
yond the third of completion. McGann,
the Sluice boss, did a little figuring

confided to Jimmy. "Shure,'

too. and his arrangements were more
elaborate and more nearly complete than
Mccain suspected. That very morning
he sauntered ieisurely out over the rear
logs, his hands in his pockets. Every once
in while he stopped to utter few low
voiced comments to one or another Of
the men. The person addressed first look
ed extremely astonished, then shouIdered
