echoed Wallace. II know little OF

"I'll start for Bay City tonight" sub
mltted Thorpe. There ought to be a
good lot of lumber jacks lying around

expenses. Tim Shearer had helped
make out the list OF necessaries. In
time everything was loaded. the gang
plank hauled In. and the little band OF
argonauts set their faces toward the
point where the Big Dipper swings.
The weather was beautiful. Each
morning the sun rose out OF the frosty
blue lake water and set In a sea OF
! deep purple. The moon. once again at
the full, drew broad paths across the
painless waste. From the southeast

but he had resolutely refused to take
the position OF barn boss which Thorpe
offered him.

I'm gettin' old, and the rheumatics
amt what you might call abandonin'
of me. Up there it's colder than hades
on stokers holiday"
So Shearer had picked out barn
boss of his own. This man was i'm
portant, for the horses are the main
stay OF logging operations. He had Sc
lected also a blacksmith, cook. four
teamsters, half dozen cant hook men
and as many handy with ak or saw.

prime OF middle life, between thirty
and forty, rugged In appearance.

and the oath OF 20 many buccaneers

Throughout the day they played cards
on deck and spat tobacco juice abroad

odd mixture OF independent equality
and slight Difference. 1t was as

wondered at their consenting to work
for an obscure little camp belonging to
a greenhorn. Loyalty to and pride In
the firm for which he works are
strong characteristics OF the lumber
jack. For this reason he feels that he

Thorpe left, after making an APP
pointment at his own hotel for the fol-
lowing day. more than pleased with
his luck. None the less, he anticipated
his next step with shaky confidence.
He would now be called upon to buy
four or five teams OF horses and enough
feed to last them the entire winter. and
he would have to arrange for pro-
visions in abundance and variety for
his men; he would have to figure on
blankets. harness, cook camp utensils,
stoves, blacksmith's tools, iron, axes,
chains, cant hooks, van goods, pals,
lamps, oil, matches, all sorts OF hard
In oh oil hA nd
one things, from needles to court plas-
ter, of which self sufficing commu-
nifty might come In need. And he
would have to figure out his require
ments for the entire winter. After
navigation closed he could import moth
ing more.
Deep In these thoughts he wandered
/ on at random. He suddenly came to
himself in the toughest quarter OF Bay
City.
Through the summer night thrilled
the sound of ordinations pointed to
the colors OF mirth. A cheap plano
ratified and thumped through an open
window Mems and womens voices
mingled In rising and falling gradua-

Thorpe became aware Of a figure
crouched In the doorway almost mt his
feet The Pickering rays OF distant
street lamp threw into relief the high
lights Of a violin and head The face
upturned TO him was thin and white
and wolfish under broad white brow.
Dark eyes CLEANED at him with the
expression of fierce animal. Across
the forehead ran long but shallow
cut from which blood dripped. The
creature clasped both arms around a
violin. He crouched there and stared
up Mt Thorpe, who stared down at him.

ter finally
The creature made no reply, but
drew his arms closer about his instru-
ment. Thorpe made sign to the I'M
known to rise.
'Come with me-" said he, "and I'll
have your forehead attended to-"
l. The eyes cleaned into his with a
sudden savage concentration. Then
their owner obediently arose.
Thorpe now saw that the body be-
fore him was OF n cripple. short legged,
hunchbacked, long armed, pigeon
breasted. The large head sat strangely
top heavy between even the broad

No reply.
''were you playing your fiddle in one

The cripple nodded slowly.
Are you hungry?' asked Thorpe,
with a sudden thoughtfulness.
Yes" replied the cripple, with
lightning CLEAN in his wolf eyes.
Thorpe rang the bell. To the boy
who answered IL he said:
Bring me half dozen beef sand
witches and n glass OF milk, and be
quick about it,
''Do you play the fiddle much?" con-
tinued Thorpe.
The cripple nodded again.
Lets hear what you can do"
"They cut my stringsr' cried Phil,
with passionate wall.
The cry came from the heart, and
Thorpe was touched by II. The price

"All right; then I'll take YOU" re-
piled Thorpe.

a muscle of his face, but the CLEAN OF
the wolf faded to give place to the soft.
affectionate glow seen In the eyes Of a
setter dog. Thorpe was startled at the
| change.
A knock announced the sandwiches
and milk. The cripple fell upon them
with both hands in a sudden ecstasy
of hunger. When he had finished, he
looked again at Thorpe, and this time
there were tears in his eyes.
A little later Thorpe interviewed the
proprietor OF the hotel.

He dreamed that the cripple had grown
